Feedback after Obama speech and race issue -How whites are reacting
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Obama chose to solidify the black people with his speech. He united them together by saying that the anger of the Black people is justified. And then he turn the black people against the white people. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->He's telling the white people that you are dumped and ignorant that you don't know racial tention exist in this country. We have the right to be mad because of white people's action. We are the good guy here. So if you want to be good, join us. If not, you are one of the racists like my granny, Ferrarro, and the Clintons. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->So his speech aims to solidify the black vote, and "retain" the white vote using guilt conscious. I'm saying retain because I don't think he will gain any new white vote because of this speech. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->This strategy will work only if there are a lot of white people who feel guilty that they were part of the white racist. This group of people will buy Obama speech. The young generation fit the profile. They blame their parents generation for the white racist <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Any white people who have sympathy with black people but don't see that they have contributed anything to continue the racism, but actually trying to improve it, will find Obama's speech very offensive. I hope that this is the majority of the American people . She might pick up new vote here. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Any white people who is the actual culprit and practice racism would never ever vote for Obama to begin with. So no gain here for him. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->That's why I think, no matter how beautiful and articulate his speech was, it has little impact to gain any new vote for Obama. He will actually be losing some of the white vote after his speech. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Basically, this speech is a damage control tactic. It's the best that he can do given the circumstance.
Hold on the the strongest group of support with the audacity of hope that the other groups won't jump ship. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
