Seems at first listen like a speech that will be talked about for years to come. Remember these? "On Signing of the Civil Rights Bill" - Lyndon Johnson "Presidential Campaign Address" - Senator Robert F. Kennedy "Race War in America" - Malcom X "We Shall Overcome" - Martin Luther King ...
Obama Delivers Race and Politics Speech
Published 3/18/2008 by GreasyGuide at GreasyGuide.com
This is one of the most important speeches made from our times about Race and Politics. Many people our our society still do not want to OPENLY talk about race in politics. But has NY has just appointed it’s first African-American Governor, times MUST move forward. Obama has taken the issue of race HEAD ON! No where in this speech does he back down from the race issue. He takes the issues of race full on and clearly removes himself from Rev. Wright.
But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now. We would be making the same mistake that ...

This was a good speech indeed, but to those comparing this speech to "I Have Dream" I gotta tell y'all to fall back. But still, good speech. In the words of my frat brother Rob G. - "a very important and integral speech for a black man in his position to make....very gutsy...very well crafted."

I don't think I ever wrote about this due to principle, but my most worked up and distraught day in recent memory came last June when Paris Hilton was released early from prison for no apparent or legitimate reason. It consumed me, rendering me incapable of working. I was so animated--and I can vividly recollect this--that I had to walk away from my desk and pace for fifteen minutes while on the phone with my parents and then my sister. I think I next proceeded to gchat with about twenty friends, writing with a righteous indignation that I summon only in my most emotional moments. I was almost ...

Obama's More Perfect Candidacy
Published 3/19/2008 by Faye Anderson at Black Voices Blogs
Rev. Jeremiah Wright's incendiary comments forced Barack Obama to finally address race . A candidate whose success is powered by Americans' hope for a post-racial, united "United States of America" stood in the shadow of Independence Hall and told America: race still matters. "The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through - a part of our union that we have yet to perfect." Sure, progress has been made but there are racial disparities in access to traditional home ...

March 19, 2008 9:27 YouTube: Dumbing Us Down or Smartening Us Up? As of 9 this morning, the number-one most-watched video of the day on YouTube has been Barack Obama's speech on race , which at that point had generated just about a million views in less than 24 hours. Let me rephrase that. Nearly a million views for a 37-minute political speech not involving a woman singing in hot pants : You may suspect that I'm another journalist seizing on an opportunity to swoon over Obama, and I can't blame you, given the over-the-top hosannas of the past day. (Last night on Hardball, Chris Matthews called the speech the greatest speech on race ...

ELECTION 08: The Speech Edition
Published 3/25/2008 by odeisel at AllHipHop.com
Nuanced; honest; impressive; brilliant; precedent-making; these are just a few of the many adjectives used to describe Obama’s speech on race, now entitled, ‘A More Perfect Union’. I don’t feel the need to extol the veracity and merits of the speech; if you’re looking for interpretation you need search no farther than the above links. Regardless, this has to be considered one of the most, if not the most, serious discussion on race by a major candidate for the presidency; and, politically, the most efficient response to criticism since JFK addressed his Catholicism in 1960. ...
Greg Saunders: Hillary's Diversionary Tactic Is Feeding The GOP Noise Machine
Published 3/26/2008 by Greg Saunders at Huffington Post Entertainment Blog
Apparently being caught lying on your resume brings out the venomous side in Sen. Clinton. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a wide-ranging interview today with Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporters and editors, said she would have left her church if her pastor made the sort of inflammatory remarks Sen. Barack Obama's former pastor made.
"He would not have been my pastor," Clinton said. "You don't choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend."
The Clinton campaign had refrained from getting involved in the Wright controversy, but Clinton herself, responding to a question this ...

Last Monday, New York Times’ writer Mireya Navarro addressed the question of mixed race, in response to Barack Obama’s speech about race in Philadelphia.
“Being accepted. Proving loyalty. Navigating the tight space between racial divides. Americans of mixed race say these are issues they have long confronted, and when Senator Barack Obama recently delivered a speech about race in Philadelphia, it rang with a special significance in their ears. They saw parallels between the path trod by Mr. Obama and ...

It's over! It's all over! Tomorrow the campaign will be done! No more caring about what crazy things John McCain and his bitchy friend said on the news, no more feeling bad for him despite yourself, no more checking 538 (sorry Nate Silver, you're obsolete now!), no more forwarded YouTube clips from your mom, or your coworker, or some lunatic internet person.
