Last night Rev. Jeremiah Wright delivered a speech at an NAACP (colored people?) dinner, and FOX News (surprise, surprise) showed the whole thing live. I watched it — well, at least most of it.

And, you know, the guy had some interesting points: I thought his analysis of European music vs. African music was just that — interesting — and it supported his thesis of “different not deficient” very well.

I didn’t feel the same way about his remarks on linguistics, though, as he compared whites from accent-laden Boston to rappers that make up nonsense words and say them in a resolutely disrespectful manner.

But what was Rev. Wright’s overall message? He claimed “different not deficient,” and that his words were “descriptive” not “divisive.” But one would have to conclude, if they were watching him speak with no prior knowledge of him, that he is an advocate for a segregated society.

Everything he said was, “blacks are different, blacks are different: we learn differently, we have different interests, and we’re going to change things.” Change things: to what?

The man is not happy that blacks were forced to compete with whites in school: he blames black deficiencies in education on a “right-brain method of learning,” as opposed to the “left-brain” whites. OK, maybe so; but what about the Asians, the Hispanics, and the Indians who score on a relatively same level — or better — as whites? Is the entire world “left-brained” except for the Africans?

Perhaps instead of bitching about whatever side of the brain they use, other ethnicities realized that they need to buckle down and do whatever it takes to succeed in American society? Just a thought.

But instead of uniting people — as Obama claims to be able to do, as well — Wright prattles on about differences and incompatibilities with people of different skin color, and essentially suggests that we stop treating each other as equal, and go back to treating each other as “separate but equal.”

And they say Republicans want to turn back the clock — pshaw!
