During the spring of 2008, one of the media\u2019s feeding frenzies involved a United Church of Christ congregation in Chicago, pastored by the Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright. For days and weeks, all one could see on every news channel were a few very short clips, absent of context, of Reverend Wright\u2019s sermons preached some time ago. What followed outraged many on both sides of the political fence. The sound bites lent themselves to commentators\u2019 easy, negative analysis of the sermons. In the traditional media, commentators offered an interpretation, couched in the language of patriotism, that Wright was too angry, that he overstated the problem of racism in America today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some were extremely frustrated at this nearly universal take on Wright\u2019s sermons and felt it served to mask the continuing reality of racial oppression, others saw a positive side, in that racism had resurfaced as a topic of conversation in homes across America. Nearly forty years after the Civil Rights Movement had \u201cfixed everything,\u201d people started talking, discussing, and even arguing about racism in the United States. Was racism still with us? If so, how could that be after such a long period of time? Or had racism just changed from blatant, in-your-face discrimination to a new, post-affirmative action, \u201ccolor-blind\u201d racism. \u2015from the introduction to Moving Beyond Racism<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
