That's all premised on the idea that Wright regularly peppered his sermons with racial invective. Let's be clear: there are only a few sermons at issue, and there's no evidence that Obama attended them. If Obama is telling the truth in that:

Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. ... his defense (see above) is perfectly reasonable. If he did regularly hear racist rants, then it's not; but I don't know why we should assume without evidence that's the case. Particularly given his conciliatory rhetoric from the beginning of his career (summarized in this speech), and his upbringing, which are directly at odds with this sort of thing.
