The blogosphere is erupting with Wright’s appearance at the National Press Club this morning.

Michelle Malkin is giving a play-by-play, with some pretty choice quotes.

Last night, Wright also shared his insightful dialogue at the NAACP’s 53rd Annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner in Detroit. From Gateway Pundit:

Last night at the 53rd Annual Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner in Detroit, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright described to his audience of 10,000 that the very structure of the brains of Africans differ from that of European-descent brains:

“Africans have a different meter, and Africans have a different tonality,” he said. Europeans have seven tones, Africans have five. White people clap differently than black people. “Africans and African-Americans are right-brained, subject-oriented in their learning style,” he said. “They have a different way of learning.” And so on.

American Digest has the video.
Oddly enough… This is the same argument used by the KKK in promoting their campaign of hatred.
Not surprisingly, the official website of the KKK (no, this is not a website I frequent!) has plenty of information that echoes what the Rev. Wright told his audience of black leaders last night: 

The book of Popular Science in their 1931, Vol. 11 edition stated, “The verdict is that the Negro does belong to an inferior race. His brain capacity is poorer, its construction simpler…,” What is meant by this was what ALL geneticists know but are afraid to say, the Negro and white brains are different.

There’s also some video from this event. [h/t Gateway Pundit] Predictably, CNN declares Wright’s NAACP speech “funny,” and a “home run”. With bits like this, I’m surprised the audience stopped laughing long enough for Wright to continue his speech:

JEREMIAH WRIGHT: Only black children 50 years ago were singled out as speaking bad English. In the 1961, it’s been all over the internet now. John Kennedy could stand at the inauguration and say [attempting to imitate JFK's Boston accent]: “ask not what your country can do for you. Ask rather what you can do for your country.” How do you spell “ask”? [which Wright pronounced "esk" in supposed imitation of JFK].

EDIT: Fixed broken video link.
