I listened to Obama's denouncement of Wright yesterday with great interest. Having watched Obama's first speech on race... I was prepared to hear yet another justification on how people like Wright are justified to say what they want based upon their perceived experience with racism in this country.
That's not what I heard. What I heard was a man denounce division-istic tactics like Wright and many others use... what I heard was a man declare that we all need to come to the table in a positive constructive way to plot a course forward. What I heard was a Black Man who stepped outside of his Black Skin to look at the United States in an objective, non-biased way.
I guess the bottom line is... what I heard was impressive... positive..... and constructive.
