There is no institution in the black community more respected than the black church.
Really? What about the 5 Percenters, and the snipers Malvo. A letter found at a scene of one of the murderers suggests the murderer may have been a member of a "black church".
And the notion that white pundits can dictate what constitutes unacceptable speech in the black church is repulsive to most black people.
And the notion that black pundits (educators, politicans, pastors) can (and do) dictate what constitutes unacceptable speech in the white churches is repulsive to most white people.
So, when Obama says America was "offended" by Wright's harsh language, he isn't speaking for or to Black America. He is speaking to White America
Add to Mary's credentials that she has a female way of "knowing" (aka: telepathy via groupthink).
The following sentences have to be taken as a clip in order for the bottomline of Mary's (the authoress) to stand revealed:
**As much as I want to see Obama make history by becoming the first black man to be elected president, I don't want to see a warrior like Wright denigrated to prove to white voters that Obama is not a radical.
When Obama denounced Wright's angry words but refused to disown him, it signaled that he understood the sensitive tightrope he is being forced to walk.
His "outrage" over Wright's latest remarks signals something quite different. With the gap narrowing, Obama advisers are obviously scrambling for every white vote.
But really, what more should blacks have to sacrifice? Their dignity?
Frankly, Obama and Wright risk becoming metaphors for the ongoing struggle of blacks to unite politically.
Obama shouldn't have held a press conference to deal with Wright.
He should have been able to pick up the phone.
**** end clip
Mary is saying that beloved Obama and beloved Wright have been torn asunder by the hateful, dictatorial thoughts and expressions rendered by white supremacists. If the world were only so right, Obama wouldn't have been FORCED to go public and do a "disavowel" - he and Wright could have just chatted on the phone and discussed the situation and worked out their plan. She's saying that were it not for those hateful, racist whites who pinned a race-tinged Hester Prynne button on Wright's or Obama's shirtfront, peace and racial unity would have filled the land.
Note to Mary: I don't think your lament is helpful to Obama. You are indirectly asserting that YES, Obama is a Black Separatist.
Question: Is the author of this article a Hillary or Obama Supporter?
Hillary and McCain just happen to be the beneficiaries of his being exposed for who he is.
I never thought that I would see a spouse of a presidential candidate who was more of a radical, narcissistic, arrogant, hubristic, self-entitled, and maddening solipsist than Hilary Clinton. To the nations dismay, I think we have found her in Michelle Obama. She is the loose cannon Benito Mussolini face of liberal fascism that Barack Hussein Obama is so careful to hide. Barack Obama is more practiced at keeping the mask up. But in the liberal Hyde Park ghetto that she lives in Chicago, attending cocktail parties with her coterie of liberal U of C academics, Black South Side DemonRat pols, public sector sinecures, NGO flacks and liberal Sun Times columnists, EVERBODY she knows thinks and feels this way.
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obamas resentments toward her country and its citizens were undoubtedly nourished by the effect that her set-aside affirmative action appointment to Princeton had on her. It would appear that she was unable to reconcile her black cultural nationalist/separatist philosophy with her tenure at Princeton, a place for which she was wholly unsuited by dint of preparation and talent, if her poorly written senior thesis is any indication. Rather than appreciating the AA slack cut her by the lib profs, she chose to lash out at what she saw as condescension and maybe some pity from them. She felt that she didnt belong and she probably didnt, but her racial sensitivity antenna read racism and bigotry rather that contemptuous pity. Her artificially inflated ego couldnt stand that and she has mutated an enormous shoulder chip ever since.
Now we can only hope that the Barack He who must not be middle named Obama campaign does not muzzle her and deprive the GOP of a priceless asset. Bur from what I hear that is a dangerous proposition for any worker in that campaign. She appears to be as unmanageable and ornery as the Hildabeast.

My goodness, why can’t a fellow get up at his own personal pulpit, with several thousands of his most intimate friends listening, and in this inner sanctum give a spittle-flecked racist paranoid rant, record it, package it, and sell it in boxed sets, without some lighter-skinned outsider sticking his nose into the Reverend’s personal business and making comments of a critical nature?
How insensitive.
