Black Conservatives And Obama

They're clearly rattled in the same way Jeremiah Wright is rattled. Obama changes the entire dynamic. It is important to Sharpton and Wright that Obama fail. It is just as important for Thomas Sowell and Shelby Steele. Sowell's rants are particularly sad:

"The difference between Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright is that they are addressing different audiences, using different styles adapted to those audiences. It is a difference between upscale demagoguery and ghetto demagoguery, playing the audience for suckers in both cases."

If this isn't true - and it patently isn't - Sowell's entire position comes unraveled. Here's hoping it does.
