You are wrong. I don't hate anybody, not even you, and I never mentioned the word hate. But you did, several times. It's sad that you are trying to twist my words into hatred. That says quite a bit more about you then it says about me. I love my country, but I am saddened by what we've become. Please don't put words that I didn't use into my mouth. I stand 100% behind every other statement I made. The only one I'm willing to concede is it may have been in bad taste for me to call you ignorant. Finally, many of Rev. Wrights statements were taken out of context via the YouTube soundbyte obsessed generation. I'm not saying I agree with him, but you only heard what the media wanted you to hear. I listened to complete versions of those same speeches, and they weren't as heinous as the general population has been led to believe. And let's not forget, Obama responded with one of the most eloquent speeches ever given about the race issue in our country, and he rejected Wright. This isn't the America I grew up in, plus, I have a perspective that many of us don't have...I spent years and years of my life traveling around the world, and working alongside people of many different nationalities. I will never say "America is the greatest country" because I think we are a part of a larger world, and when you qualify anything as "greatest" "best" or "#1" you are speaking of competition.
