Counselor, do not lead the witness.
Most important? Every young man has mentors; one may be the most important at a given time.
But to answer your question. Obama is not a crazy racist eugenicist. I don't know about Wright wearing all 3 of those labels, but there is plenty of evidence on the 2 last ones.
BTW, NPR interviewed some leading black ministers about Wright's current spotlight grab and his "damn" statement. All agreed that they know of no other black minister who would say something like that. Only one of the 4 defended in general. Two thought he was hurting Obama's candidacy; otherwise they all said many black ministers in Wright's arm of the black church share his AIDS suspicions and tend to sound racist, but that has been a main staple of some black churches for years; Only 1 said his members were upset with Wright.
