Oh yeah, when MLK said "I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land! ... Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!" he didn't mean it (not). MLK had a Doctorate in Divinity, as does Reverend Wright. Both are/were Biblical scholars who were exposed to and appreciated different ideas but remained Christian. Some have suggested Jesus Himself might have been influenced by Buddhism. Go fig.

Here's a newsflash on AA churches, Obama and gays:

(1) Obama has spoken out about the homophobia which has been freely expressed at many Black churches;

(2) Reverend Wright has married homosexual couples and has also spoken out against homophobia;

(3) The Donnie McClurkin episode was a political gaffe in an effort to garner more Black votes, but not at all an example of Obama's own views.
