there is absolutely no comparison between the views of wright and groups such as the kkk.
while I do not find the rantings of wright to be to my liking, they do reflect a view from someone who has been subjected to the racial discrimination and violence that existed in our country. these acts of violence against black americans are a fact, the discrimination is a fact. several of the items mentioned by wright are indeed true, while many are just his opinion and some are merely wrong.
if you want to take the position that you don't want to support barack obama because he went to a church run by this man, fine, that's your right.
if you want to say that barack obama is not fit to be president because he went to a church run by this man, you're being ridiculous.
