I take his speech for what it is: a response to his association with his pastor. I'm not high-fiving Obama for bringing issues of race to the forefront and bringing better awareness. This is just another passing fad.

It wasn't just a response to his pastor...it also put to the forefront of what people have been tiptoeing on eggshells ever since this thing started...which you just said...it's about bringing the issues of race or any kind of -ism to the forefront and start having frank discussions on what we can do to fix our own house before we go traipsing into another selling 'democracy'.
