I see your point, but it goes too far to claim there is a moral equivalence between these two observations of a non-cohesive America.
We’ll see how it plays out. I think there’s a risk the conversation goes to “see what you did to us for a century”, the Obama rationalization for Wright, to “see what we’ve for you lately”, the Buchanan rant. You and Us being completely different individuals of course, different generations. This is the conversation Obama started, and just as the black community has Jesse Jackson, there are purveyors of hate on the other side willing to pick up the tune.
