Reply #33: I don't have much to add to what I wrote in the OP

But though I can't claim to have seen heard or read everything that Pastor Wright said over the years, I really don't think he ever intended to be dismissive to ALL white people, no matter how strongly negative his comments may have been at times about the nature and effects of the predominant white culture in America on people of other colors. I did listen to the speech Wright gave to the NAACP in Detroit prior to his National Press Club Appearance, and his overall comments there were clearly inclusive of all faiths and races, though some of his opinions can certainly be controversial.
