This is a very odd interpretation of what Wright is quoted as saying
in his sermons. Granted, because of the long horrible history of
racism in the USA, proportionately more govt decision makers are
white than black or some other hue--but are you really claiming that
to denounce actions of US governments or corporations is an attack on
*Caucasians*? If so, you might be right, but I imagine black
military, political and corporate leaders would be angered to hear
that their decisions and contributions are obliterated in this way.
