Obama's speech on racism. It's worth watching in its entirety. Whatever happens, I'm glad he's given this speech. I do think it will help take away the issue from those who would invoke racism for political advantage in races against him.

Mostly, though, it's just a thoughtful good speech.

Edit: I am teaching a seminar on community and diversity. I think I'll show them this speech on Monday.
