This page reflects the ongoing Levi/DRJ debate on Barack Obama and Rev. Wright. (The background, rules, and relative positions are all set forth in this post.)

When I have time, I’ll simply cut and paste their arguments so that they can be followed without having to wade through all the comments.

Thanks to Dana for the suggestion.

This is a debate between 2 folks on different sides of the issue and DRJ eats Levi alive. Read it if only to save the links embedded within.

Let's ask Noah Webster. 1. A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. 2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination. 3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races. I see nowhere in that definition where black on white racism is exempt.
