I’m a minority and I have firsthand experience with dealing with racism. And I found Obama’s speech to be among the most progressive and on point than any that I’ve heard in the past two decades.

But there’s a wise man that just passed away (Randy Pausch) and he noted, judge someone by what they do, not what they say.

If you look at how Obama has been silent whilst his inner circle trashed Hillary, the intimations that people from Alaska are somehow less American than people in the Lower 48…why, I’m reminded of the same damn arguments that people STILL use to justify why hispanics are “less” than whites.

So is it racist when Democrats look down on people from smaller towns because we didn’t go to the “right” schools?

get with the program, why do you think African-Americans that have known Obama the longest disrespect him the most (Rev Wright, Rev Jesse Jackson)???

He delivers a great speech, no doubt. But it takes more than speeches to break down racism. It takes commitment to doing the right thing.

Unfortunately for the spillover of crime into suburban areas, people rarely look at the root of the crime—low income, poor job access, lack of access to higher education. It’s real easy just to think of it as “us” and “them” in those isolated situations. We have to get to the point where we begin seeing other folks as a part of ourselves.

Obama made a speach that should have brought everyone together but instead because white america is so racist, his speach did little effect.

This is why black crimes will spilll over into the white so utopia communities and they will realize that they’re to blame because by continuing to be racist, the problems will get larger.
