Jeremiah Wright, and other political messages: &#8220;Hamas votes BHO&#8221; and &#8220;We don&#8217;t cling to guns or religion. Goddamn Wright.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now what&#8217;s bigoted about that, other than they were writing these things about Black people (without even mentioning their race)?
