Your understanding of black rage not withstanding, its comparison to what you heard and hear in Yeshiva and in Flatbush is not exactly honest. You shouldn’t hear such anger, blame-all-your-problems-on-others and the “smug they-deserve-it” attitudes from unserer rabbonim. Also Obama’s original denial of Rev Wrights radical sermons shows his understanding of mainstream America is not the one we are used to and comfortable with. Do you really want someone who is close to such a view of American culture to be president.
Also, the fact that you believe Rev Wright’s ramblings are similar to ‘things that (you) heard in … yeshiva days from many Rosh Yeshiva’ is no justification to vote for a disciple of his! Honestly would you want a very frum Yid (that believes in what you think he hears in Yeshiva) to be president. I, for one, believe that I fully understanding Yidishkeit and its attitude about the relationship between Yiddim and Goyim and therefor have no problem with a frum president. But I doubt that most Americans could possibly have such an understanding and they would not and should not elect one for president (just as you shouldn’t). I therefor can not consider voting for Obama and neither should you!
