Obama's speech is indeed brilliant. I like how he really tries to address race in a collaborative manner. I also like how he addresses white anger/resentment because often that gets ignored in talks about race, which in turn creates more anger and division. I just like how he acknowledges everyone's hardships and encourages everyone to work TOGETHER to overcome these problems. I'd be interested in hearing what other people's opinions on his talk are, in particular those who have been disadvantaged and have dealt more directly with racial issues than I have.
