Lexington on Wright

This week Lexington rightly condemns Jeremiah Wright's coming out party in Detroit and Washington. Lexington says "Wright belongs to a generation of activists" that includes Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton "who thrived in part by playing to the resentments of their black supporters." All true.

But then Lexington says Obama "belongs to a much more pragmatic generation, people who want to get beyond racial polarization and enter the political mainstream." How does Lexington know that? From what evidence?
