Lot’s to talk about here. After all, it’s a 37-minute speech. But it’s sunny out 45 degrees outside, so I’ll save the commentary for later. It wasn’t quite perfect, but far better than anything anyone else running for president ever (did I say “ever”?) has ever said on the issue(s) of race in America. The speech pretty much spins itself.
Added 3/29/08: I never did get back to this, did I? I was entertaining–rather, being entertained by, an out-of-town visitor. What still strikes me is how on the mark he was, and how directly he made his case. This doesn’t surprise me in itself; what shocks me is all this was said by a major U.S. Presidential candidate. He didn’t even dumb it down for us. Does this mean we’re, like, grown-ups now?
