Was Jeremiah Right?

Were Jeremiah Wright's statements denigrating and deleterious to our American fabric, a reflection of "reverse racism" and divisive at a time when Americans need to be pulling together? Or are they reflective of a justifiable indignation held by a sizeable segment of the American populace that has a very unique perspective concerning the methods of operation of an American government; concerning the pervasive way of thinking held by an even larger segment of Americans who repugnantly and repeatedly refuse to acknowledge the hypocrisy inherent in its methodology.
A little more than 44 years ago, a famous leader in the African American community came under fire for making inflammatory remarks regarding the assassination of an American president. This leader laid the blame for the assassination of the president squarely on the shoulders of that president himself, citing the policies behind which he stood; the violence he promoted resulted in his demise by violence. The speech preceding the "chickens come home to roost" comment included a remark to the effect that “White America's worst crimes are her hypocrisy and her deceit." Sadly, 44 years later, those words still have a sting of truth.
Jeremiah Wright's condemnation of America, along with the assertion that the cowardly and reprehensible attacks by Jihadists on September 11, 2001 were the result of cause and effect, of "bad Karma", of "chickens coming home to roost" is formulated from a perception widely held in many minority communities who have directly experienced the duplicitous standard operating procedures the government employs.
Some will decry Wright, even while agreeing with his vitriolic statements; blaming him for the possible derailment of the Obama campaign. The obloquies towards Wright in this regard border on the superfluous...the attempt to derail would have come from somewhere. Examine how many people share the erroneous opinion that Obama is a Muslim, a perception the media exploits with supererogatory zeal in their inveterate gaffes.
The old schoolyard game of deflecting scrutiny by casting blame does not hold up in the long run. Someday, America will have to sit and ponder introspectively; to catechize exhaustively the motives of its own heart; to realize the truth it so obtusely seeks to evade and to resolve to ameliorate the inimical course upon which it is currently blunderingly plodding.
