Wright flap">And I think that you have to cut some slack -- and I'm gonna be probably the only Conservative in America who's gonna say something like this, but I'm just tellin' you -- we've gotta cut some slack to people who grew up being called names, being told "you have to sit in the balcony when you go to the movie. You have to go to the back door to go into the restaurant. And you can't sit out there with everyone else. There's a separate waiting room in the doctor's office. Here's where you sit on the bus..." And you know what? Sometimes people do have a chip on their shoulder and resentment. And you have to just say, I probably would too. I probably would too. In fact, I may have had more of a chip on my shoulder had it been me.</bq> <hr> <n>The Rev. Wright flap refers to the sermons made by the Reverend Wright condemning America for its treatment of black people. It sparked Obama's speech on race a couple of weeks ago and reminded America that the effects of past and continuing racism were still felt.</n>
