Rev. Wright calls it like it more or less is . . .

Rev. Jeremiah Wright at New Tabernacle Baptist Church, 531 North Kedzie, yesterday:

“Some of these things [black-on-black crime] have to do with the government and some of these things have to do with our relationships with each other,” [italics mine] Wright told a group at an anti-violence program . . .

Parallel structure demands “Some . . . with the government . . . some . . . with us.”  But you can’t be direct in that situation.  Rev. Wright can’t alienate his base, no.  And so he holds back, just a little.

And the government’s role as partially responsible? 

Making a good point nonetheless, in truncated manner nonetheless.
