Rev. Wrights Comments: Completely Unnecessary

Don't get me wrong here, but Rev. Jerehmiah Wright was completely out of line with his recent comments just as Geraldine Ferraro was with hers. Wright makes a push to point out to us the adversities Barack Obama has overcome to get where he is today. But Mr. Wright, don't you think America is well aware of all Obama has accomplished? I mean, considering his books are among the highest selling in the country, his wide national support and oh yeah, there is the delegate lead. So while your comments may not be deemed racist to me, they are pointless. The comments put Obama on the defensive when in all actuality he should be on the offensive in his quest for the Democratic nomination. Both Wright and Ferraro should familiarize themselves with the concept of silence and staying out of issues that have no concern to them. If race is going to be continuously brought up, how can we, as Americans, put the race card aside? To Hillary Clinton's defense, the world wasn't exactly handed to her either. She, like Obama, used her education to better herself and get her to where she stands today. People fail to realize that there are rich and poor people of every color and overcoming adversity is praiseworthy regardless of skin color. It is comments like these that cause transgression amongst American progress. We do not live in a perfect world, but we live in the same world, breath the same air and suffer the consequences of each others poor decisions.
