Obama's Speech on Race

Hey folks,

I really liked Obama before this speech. Now I know he is a leader.

Here's the NY Times posting of the speech.

To be completely honest, I didn't think the things I'd seen from Jeremiah Wright were all that bad. Racial oppression is still a problem in the US. It seemed like he was just being honest, and that it's something a responsible pastor should address: the pain his congregation is experiencing.

Anyway, I think Obama takes this to a whole other level. My response: Yes, exactly! Now what can we do?
