TheRealThing Wrote:Those who actually take the time to read Bobby's speech will see that your assertions in the post prior, are what constitutes any sort of stretch. Bobby mentioned the fact that MLK's assassin was white. But like his brother JFK, he emphasized service, sacrifice and prayer for the good of our country, as well as the family of MLK. Then, something just over 3 minutes later, Bobby's speech concluded. It was masterful, to the point, and so profound that people like you quote it still today.
Then comes Obama, who in his epic humility only mentions himself a mere 45 times while droning on and on for 40 minutes about how bad white people are. That's 40 mind you, 13 times longer than Bobby Kennedy's speech and infinitely more self absorbed. 189 days to go.
Robert Kennedy spoke in a black area of Indianapolis, the ghetto, and after he learned MLK, Jr. had died, and his speech is revered as one of the greatest in modern era. Agreed. I am a white man. I did not hear President Obama call me a racist. I did hear him reference slavery. I did hear him reference Jim Crow. I did hear him suggest racial justice and relations are leaps and bounds ahead of where they were in the past. I did hear him say that there is still work to do in racial equality and justice. I did hear him refer to himself, as a means of referencing the struggle on a personal note. You really sound like you consider President Obama an "uppity" black man. I am not saying that is your opinion or spirit, but I am saying that's how it comes across.
