It's amazing that someone could come away from his speech with the opinions that you did.......it makes me think that his message of hope truly is in vain.....maybe people aren't ready or capable of change...you certainly don't seem to be. Rest inline:

He stated the REALITY, and said it can change...it MUST change. Not ONCE did he say "get used to it". You think you can just make stuff up and we won't notice???? His White grandmother is racist, just like Dana so they probably all are, HUH? His grandmother had uttered some phrases that made him cringe. They are born of her experiences....the anger that drives some of those phrases is REAL. THAT was his point...not ONCE did he say "they probably are all racist". Again, why are you making stuff up? Is reality such a foreign concept to you? Last week he said he didn't know about Wright's hate America/Whites talk. > Now he says he knew but most black churches are like that. he stated a reality...many of the same type of rhetoric IS present in black churches....in black schools....around the dinner table in black homes. Yes, that is true. > Blacks CAN hate whites because of slavery and Jim Crow? > He's defending black on white racism. NO HE ISNT. GRRR....i'm trying to decide if you CAN'T hear, or if you just don't WANT to hear what he is saying. I'm not going to reiterate it here.....your stubborn ignorance is trying my patience. Wright didn't change but teaches his hate to the young. Shouldn't we break > this cycle? That's the change I want, stop teaching kids to hate. Yes we should. That's the kind of change Obama is after. He can't do it alone, neither can I...we actually need people like YOU to buy into the idea.....which seems, frankly, impossible at this point. So the whole country is racists? Whites hate black because of affirmative > action and blacks hate whites because of slavery? To a point, yes. Is the "whole country" racist? No, but the racism that DOES exist has it's roots, it's reasons...and for many, those are the reasons.
