Wright's demagogery is distasteful primarily because it is an insult to blacks, not whites...
You're wrong about Wright. He's a highly intelligent analyst of the human condition. His congregation has grown from 87 to over 6,000 - mostly because of what he does rather than what he says. But, what he says is extremely consistent with what he does, including his endorsement of Farrakhan's deeds (he does not endorse his words).
The man's problem is that he really believes in Jesus. This is so highly unusual among Christians, apparently, that the man has to be rebuked and repudiated on national TV.
