The Politics of the Rev. Wright Controversy: A Debate W/Melissa Harris-Lacewell & Adolph Reed Jr.

Full audio or video available at link with "real player"
Transcripts will be available later in the day

I caught this live and I have to say... it's nice to hear a crisp debate between such accomplished and brilliant African American Scholars.

So much for "voting in a bloc."

Melissa Harris-Lacewell, Associate Professor of Politics and African-American Studies at Princeton University and the author of “Barbershops, Bibles, and BET: Everyday Talk and Black Political Thought.” She is a contributing writer at TheRoot.com and a Barack Obama supporter. She attended the Trinity United Church and Rev. Wright was also her pastor.

Adolph Reed Jr., Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of several books including “Class Notes: Posing as Politics and Other Thoughts on the American Scene” and “Stirrings in the Jug: Black Politics in the Post-Segregation Era.” He makes the case against voting for Sen. Obama in the latest issue of The Progressive magazine.

Full Transcripts available later today... check back in with www.democracynow.org
