Allow me to clarify first things first. I do not personally endorse Barack Obama for our nation's presidency. However, there's some clarification on his part that probably should be examined.
First of all, I'd say that Obama has been "familiar" with Jeremiah Wright and Trinty United Church of Christ for over twenty years, and indeed became a member of that church. Sadly, if truth be told, he's been blindly promoting himself as being a moderate Christian so the more conservative of the party would swing his way. But it's back fired, and here's how. Obama, like many other "christians" may indeed be -members- of a particular church, but have very little attendance record or personal involvement in it's weekly or monthly activities. Coupled with that is the fact that many, many churches through out our nation rarely purge their membership rolls (not attendance records, but membership or parish rolls).
Secondly, clarification is needed on Trinity United Church of Christ and the actual denomination labeled or called United Church of Christ. By race, Trinity is not predominantly white. It is, by it's own account, 90% black. The denomination that Jeremiah Wright and his congregation called Trinity affiliate themselves with is the United Church of Christ, which by race, is predominantly white, by 90%.
