Note that the Rev. Wright belongs to the era of politicians like Strom Thurmonds and Robert Byrds (both mentioned above in this thread). He was part of that generation, or the generation immediately after. So while his "US of KKK-A" speech is antiquited and untimely, it's something that for all intents and purposes has real gravitas for somebody like him.
Wright is not a politician, a pundit, or a Reverend with nationwide feed and appeal. He has no power. He's an old man suffering from bits of bizarre paranoia and delusions about the government from a time past. It's unfortunate and I would hope not too many others subscribe to his more outlandish beliefs, but I really don't see it as anything more than that.

A White supremacist, Black killer?
