Do listen to Wright for yourself. Mooner1 has clipped one of the examples that's supposed to be offensive. When you set it in context, you see he is preaching against hatred, especially against revenge.
It is a remarkable clip, and he has a point that Americans need to hear.
I am convinced that we've been misled by people looking for a campaign issue.
