So Obama says he heard Reverend Wright say things that could be viewed is racist against whites and then later he says he never heard it. Which is it?
So speaking out against the greed inherent in Apartheid in your view is the same as speaking against all white people in general? It was greed on behalf of certain white people including President Reagan who was more concerned about U.S. business interests then the suffering of black South Africans living under Apartheid.

South Africa is in both hemispheres? It isn't racist to extrapolate the actions of some whites to all whites? You honestly believe that Obama attended the church 2 times a month for years and never heard any racist comments when they sell material full of racist comments in the lobby?
Obama says drilling, which increases supply will not lower gas prices.
Obama says releasing the national reserve, which increases supply will lower gas prices.
Obama goes to a gas station with cameras and outlines a simple strategy to lower gas prices without much detail.
Obama mocks Newt as lightweight intellectual for going to a gas station with cameras and outlines a simple strategy to lower gas prices without much detail.
Obama was against coal, except when he campaigned in PA and WV.
Even some Democrats are vocal about their displeasure with this Obama flip flop, but after all "This is one of many moves by Obama that can only be characterized as the path of least resistance in an election year"
“The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. In instances of self-defense, the President would be within his constitutional authority to act before advising Congress or seeking its consent. History has shown us time and again, however, that military action is most successful when it is authorized and supported by the Legislative branch. It is always preferable to have the informed consent of Congress prior to any military action.” - Obama
Flop:
Did Obama really get the consent of congress to authorize military attacks in Libya - he didn't want a vote and there wasn't one.

"So let me be clear: Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile activity poses a real threat, not just to the United States, but to Iran's neighbors and our allies. The Czech Republic and Poland have been courageous in agreeing to host a defense against these missiles. As long as the threat from Iran persists, we will go forward with a missile defense system that is cost-effective and proven." -Obama
Flip Flop:
6 months later, Iran hasn't changed, but Obama has.
Then Candidate Obama proposes NASA increases - gains voters
Then President Obama proposes NASA cuts....
"As president, I'll make our space program a priority again by devoting the attention and resources needed to not only inspire the world with feats of exploration but also improve life here on Earth." -Obama

Except that it wasn't Rev. Wright that was extrapolating the actions of some whites to all whites. It is other people taking Rev. Wright's words about white supremacy and racism and extending them to all whites.
Obama's comments where clearly referencing the video clips that where repeatedly played on cable news.
SEN. OBAMA: ... I have not heard him make the offensive comments that ended up being looped on this show constantly. And I was offended by them and ultimately -- MR. O'REILLY: You had never heard those comments? SEN. OBAMA: I hadn't heard those comments. MR. O'REILLY: He was selling them in the lobby at the church. ... MR. O'REILLY: But not white people are bad? SEN. OBAMA: There was no doubt that what he said was racism was bad.
The church ranged in membership between 6,000 to 10,000 people while Obama was a member. I would be surprised in any group of that size that there would not be an occasional racist comment.
The church sells lots of different books and other material, including CDs and DVDs of past services.
The comments in this interview where clearly referencing the DVDs of the past services. It is not clear to this day that Obama ever viewed the services from which the clips the cable news services were playing. Obama is reported to have told Rev. Wright that he never viewed the services in April 2008.
Selling books from various scholars and ministers some of which may or may not contain racist comments does not mean the church or Rev. Wright endorses those comments. There are racist and anti-Semitic comments in the bible, does that mean that all Jewish people and Christians are racist and anti-Semitic? By selling Bibles are you endorsing racism and antisemitism?
