I could not agree more with my classmate Chris ( America: The bully) on his blog about Obamas racism speech. Obama's speech reminded me of Martin Luther Kings speech " I a dream", it was inspiring. It was great to finally see a presidential candidate address the issue at hand not make an excuse for it or just completely lie or go around it. He honest and never disrespectful.
I completely agree with your view of Obamas speech and like how you used certain quotes in your blog, nicely done.
If we could just get all our other candidates to be as honest as Obama was in his speech. It was a very risky speech to give and if he would have not done such a good job it could have gone bad fast. It goes to show it's all in how you say things not just what you say. The public does not want to be lied to they just want the truth and respect. It's about time someone addressed the issue of racism that has plagued this country and many other nations for years and years. It's like our instructor Chris said it's the pink elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. The more we ignore the issue the worst it's going to get. Hopefully we will be able to see a change in our life time. Hey a girl can only wish.
