Huckabee understands Rev. Wright?

My jaw dropped hearing this from former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee concerning the Obama-Wright affair on MSNBC’s Morning Joe yesterday (transcript via Political Punch):

And one other thing I think we’ve got to remember: As easy as it is for those of us who are white to look back and say, “That’s a terrible statement,” I grew up in a very segregated South, and I think that you have to cut some slack. And I’m going to be probably the only conservative in America who’s going to say something like this, but I’m just telling you: We’ve got to 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 a more, more of a chip on my shoulder had it been me.

I mean, that’s like killing your parents (figuratively speaking) to many of those on the Right and a sizable number of the Left concerning this issue . Mike Huckabee defending Rev. Jeremiah Wright? Will we now have solar powered cars and anti-gravity beams?
