You can't judge a man by one act or statement. But how do we begin to change oppressive practices. Should Barack or his mother have lovingly addressed the statements his grandmother made? Should Barack privately address his pastor? What I am referring to is not referring to what anyone, least of all Barack should do politically, but what we should do as people. Do we say "well thats how he or she is" or "they were raised in a different time" or do we speak up, not out of anger but out of love. Hateful statements don't just hurt the targeted group, they hurt us all. I agree, people can do good and bad at the same time. You can’t judge a man by one act or statement.

I think its not surprising that people (on the internet) have used the speech to further polarize the parties vowing for the nomination. Its almost like there's an East/West Battle within the common Democratic Ground. I have not yet seen this speech so I’ll definately check it out.

I'm not saying I reflect that thought process. Some people have made their minds up about Obama. He's a muslim, he's black, and he isn't for America. Others are singing his praises and know that the change he proposes is a good thing. We've come to a point now that you are for him or against him. Democrats need to make up their minds and decide who will be the person to represent the party. Enough is enough already.

I was a little worried when i heard what was to be the subject of this speech (race and religion) but Obama came out slugging and put things into perfect perspective when he said something along the lines of "I love my white grandmother even though she often spoke in racial stereotypes". People try to make matters of race and politics as simply black and white (no pun intended) but each of us is complex. and just because rev. wright said some controversal things does but erase all the good he has done.

His speech out-did even my expectations. Where most politicians would minimize the problem, distance themselves, and hope that it would go away, he actually attacked the problem with an honesty not often seen. I’ve posted at excerpt at my blog. It’s a fairly long clip, but it is important as it addresses the unspoken mind of both the black and white people. http://malcolmrant.blogspot.com/2008/03/right-way-obama-on-race.html Before the speech, there was much talk about how this was a speech he wrote himself. If this is true, then he has proven himself worthy of our trust, and the office he will probably take in January 2009. Not only did Obama touch the third rail, he lived to tell about it.

That is all any of these people can do now. Obama is too far ahead on all the polls and favored by many that they have to take him down at all costs. This is getting ridiculous. Reaching.
