Post-War Liberalism to the Present

The profound mistake of Reverend Wright's sermon is not that he spoke about racism in our society.  It's that he spoke as if our society was static; as if no progress has been made; as if this country  a country that has made it possible for one of his own members to run for the highest office in the land and build a coalition of white and black, Latino and Asia, rich and poor, young and old is still irrevocably bound to a tragic past.  But what we know what we have sensed that America can change.  That is the true genius of this nation.  What we have already achieved gives us hope the audacity to hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

This passage was really deep.  Obama did not allow all the negative controversy with the Reverend hinder what he was focused on.  He took the negativity and try to make a positive out of it. He felt like there was a lot of racial issues in American that went unnoticed. He wanted to bring all issue to the forefront and let everyone know that we are equal.  He did not look at people as color he was looking at them as human beings.  He said he felt all the harsh realities of America when it came to race as he was a man of many races but he did not love no one no more or no less.  He felt like he could change this by being the first African American man to become president.  He said there was some progress in this nation when it came to race and he would be the one to try to continue the change.
