Is Obama's pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a racist?

In the November/December 2007 issue of Trumpet, Wright sang the praises of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has described whites as "blue-eyed devils" and Jews as "bloodsuckers."
"He brings a perspective that is helpful and honest," Wright said. "Minister Farrakhan will be remembered as one of the 20th and 21st century giants of the African-American religious experience."
(...)
"His integrity and honesty have secured him a place in history as one of the nation's most powerful critics," he continued. "His love for Africa and African-American people has made him an unforgettable force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere about his faith and his purpose."
"In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01," he wrote on page 7. "White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just 'disappeared,' as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns."
So, what has Obama got to say about his pastor's racially-charged and supremacist-sounding remarks, including positive allusions to supremacist Islam, raising the specter of lack of separation of mosque and state?
Last week, Obama distanced himself from Farrakhan, but did not distance himself from Wright or disavow his praise for Farrakhan.
Why not distance himself from his pastor's more extreme, disturbing remarks? Leaving that big matzo ball up there, floating around, can only cause him problems in an election campaign.
