Yeah, well, I was living in Manhattan on 9/11 and looking straight at the inferno from my office, so like millions of others the events of 9/11 did more than a little bit to shake our "sense of security"
What Obama really meant to say was...
"God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11"
"In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just 'disappeared' as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns."
