Barack Obama’s Speech on Race - New York Times
I urge you to please read this speech in its entirety - without the entertainment News Presenters (they're certainly not reporters in the true sense of the word - watch some Walter Cronkite or Edward R. Murrow or Bill Moyers) - incessant voices, with their snide little remarks geared to a specific 'spin' on the article depending on which managed news channel or station to which you turn.
For me, this is a speech with Truth, Honesty and Courage. Our beloved country is at a crossroads...at a time of major crises on many fronts - brought on by forces of which you might already know much - and if you don't...if you just listen to sound bites and op pieces from the shouting, grinning, made-up faces of the minions of major media...then by all means don't read this well-done and courageous speech.
Go sit down, turn on American Idol, then go shopping...Peace. Be the Courage.
