I watched the speech Rev. Jeremiah Wright gave to the Detroit chapter of the NAACP and the Q&A session he had at the national press club. I have to say I don’t understand what is so controversial about the NAACP speech. It poked fun at people and he seemed to be in good humor. I agreed with most of what he said about seeing people as different not deficient. I think some of what is being shown about him is being overblown. Do I agree with everything he had to say? No. There needs to come a day when people place their hope in the future not chain themselves to the past. It takes everyone changing their hearts and minds though. I hope that part of his message is not overlooked. Of course, I also hope he heeds his own words.
