You have to remember that every one of Rev. Wright's messages were different. What you saw and heard were probably 2 of the most racist ones. So it's not like Rev. Wright came in every Sunday preaching down on America. I must say to you that I have been a member at the same church for over 17 years. My pastor has said some things that I don't egree with. Just because I didn't leave the church does not mean that I agree with him 100%. I have my own mind and do know right from wrong.
Obama is a man of integrity. He handled that situation the same way that I may have if I were in his shoes. That powerful speach said a lot. Even though he didn't want to disown his pastor, he eventually had to because it was obvious that the Rev. was so caught up in his own pride that he didn't care about to Obama and nobody else. Unfortunatly, a lot of us find out who our true friends are the hard way.
