Politically and contextually, , he moved the issue to more favorable ground, a smart move. Polling usually lags events by 7-21 days so the numbers may flutctuate for a while yet, but this speech, I think, will help him get past the issue.

Not for some/many. It's sad but there is still a great deal of ignorance surrounding the history and current state of race relations in this country. Many still have no clue as to how we arrived at this point and how the past continues to influence the present and future. And as we all know, if we do not understand the past...
