A lot of people in the blogosphere are busting on quotes from Senator Obama's pastor, who's made a fiery sermon or two on the subject of racism.
There's a surprise: a pastor in a black fundamentalist church who rags on racism.
Let us remember, however, that Martin Luther King, Jr. had a thing or two to say on the subject back in 1963:
"We have come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children."
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal'."
Rico says we have a huge debt to pay to blacks in this country, and the interest is piling up...
