Except Rev. Wright is not a racist.

Well if that is your point of view you are welcome to it. It certainly isn't the opinion of Rev. Wright.

That just so happens to be one of the few clips of his that I have not been able to find a more complete context for, so I could only speculate.

GOP Super PAC Is Hiring, Looking For A Token Black Person To Smear Obama As An "Metrosexual Black Abe Lincoln"

I'd bet Will Smith would do it, if the price is right.

Here's where I'm confused--I understand why calling someone a metrosexual would be a slur, but what in the heck is a black Abe Lincoln? Americans love Abe Lincoln, and he was a republican....
