Short Political Note

[browngirl]

So, I'd said elsewhen that Senator Obama hadn't talked much about race recently. Well, due to what seems to be a political scandal involving Pastor Jeremiah Wright (whom I haven't researched for myself yet, so I don't know the content of the scandal), Senator Obama made a speech about race and politics. So I wanted to put a link in my journal to that and to this response in Salon for when I have time to consider them in more detail. "Today Obama laid out a racial worldview that tries to challenge the zero-sum thinking that's pitted races against each other for too long." says Joan Walsh, so I definetely want to hear more.
