I will tell you one thing that was good about Obama’s speech, besides his careful delivery. He is openly talking about race, in a very public forum. And no one is firing him or tarring and feathering him.
Rush talked about race calmly and non politically correctly on his football show. He made the “mistake” of speaking about race normally. He was knocked to the ground.
No one has openly talked about what it can be like around the black kitchen table or in the black churches until Obama. We have to give him that. I’ve been close enough to the American black world for long enough to see that he’s right about that part. I’ve been with black families long enough to be come invisible enough to hear the private thoughts about whites in general that maybe a lot of whites don’t get to hear.
I was thinking of Larry Elder when Obama was getting into that part of “black America,” thinking he would be agreeing about at least that.
However, just speaking the truth about black-on-white racism doesn’t mean Obama has any solutions to it. But I guess only Obama dared say it in full. However, Bill Cosby at least has some of the correct solutions in his speeches (Larry has all of the solutions but doesn’t get quite as large an audience - yet).
Barack Hussein is all talk—no solutions.
While I agree he spoke race in a public forum, I think he elequently race baited. Of course no one tarred and feathered him, think about it - when you play the black victim card you never get called on it. Sharpton, Jackson etc. prove that over and over.
He chose to be close to the black community in a vile church. He was not raised that way. I too have been around many black people and churches and I have never been biten by the hate white America rhetoric. In fact as a rule I found them to be just the opposite, good Christian houses of worship. Unlike Obamas choice to raise his girls in.
