Hasn't Moyers made some negative comments against Obama? This interview may not be very positive.

On the one hand, I understand Rev. Wright's need to defend himself. Ultimately, that's his right and no one can take that away from him.

On the other hand. This opens the door for more debate over his comments at a time when Obama is trying to seal the deal on the Democratic nomination.

I wouldn't trust ANY media to take an interview with Wright without having someone twist his words even further. Despite the good intentions or integrity of the interviewer, Fox Noise is just waiting for the next soundbite. . . even if they have to create it out of thin air.

As for the racial and social dynamics involved, Wright's got a fair share of white supporters and defenders of faith. I'd like to see more of them if anything at all.

James Baldwin would disagree strongly with Roland Martin.

Preaching to the choir doesn't yield progress.

Roland Martin is upset and he feels that Rev.Wright should have done his first interview after the controversy with black media. I would agree with him however I believe that it would be more important to get it out to those who seem to not understand where he is coming from. Most black media sympathizes with Wright and have defended him.

I hope that this interview is a productive one.

Didn't Moyers defend Clinton's LBJ/MLK statement?

I can count on one hand the number of White journalists I would trust to interview Dr. Wright. Moyers is on that hand. Plus, didn't Moyers already do an interview with a big-time Black Liberation Theological Scholar?

So am I. He's also educated on theology so the questions will not only be respectful but knowledgeable.
