Jasmyne,
You're a fabulous writer, but I disagree with you on this one.
You asked, "what’s more important---this country finally addressing its issues with race and class or getting Obama the Democratic nomination?" Allow me to answer that--Obama becoming the president, of course.
For once, this is not about race--it's about power. Yes, race is being used, but only as a tool to obtain power. We've got to remain focused and not be distracted by side issues--that's what I'm shocked to see Rev. Wright buying into.
It's the presidency that's important. Malcolm said everything Wright is saying, and a whole lot better, over 40 years ago, and it didn't do us a bit of good.
This time, let the White man do all the talking, and let us try power for a change. Yeah, I know--having a Black man holding the most powerful position in the world doesn't guarnatee us a thing. But you must admit--it's a novel approach.
