Is Barack Bigger Than Wright's Bite?

barack_wright.jpgBarack Obama's pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, says criticism of Wright for his fiery rhetoric is an attack on "the black church." It's rather presumptious of Rev. Wright to claim to speak for the entire African-American Christian community in America, but I wonder if Wright thinks that Obama - now that he's denounced Wright's recent racist, bigoted rhetoric today during a press conference in Winston-Salem, N.C. - has attacked "the black church" in America.

I'm guessing he does - which means you can expect an inevitably over-the-top shrill response coming any day now from Rev. Wright. I'm guessing the Obama campaign isn't looking forward to that with much glee.

Update: Much of the discussion of Wright has mentioned something called "black liberation theology." It is somewhat similar to the liberation theology that has become somewhat common in Catholic churches, especially in South America, in recent years. Eyeblast.tv takes a look at the Marxist roots of liberation theology and its offshoot, black liberation theology. Some of the mini-documentary is a bit over the top, but the section on liberation theology is eye-opening.
