This will be the true legacy of Obama.
He could have made a speech on day one that race was normalizing - told people to stop being victims, to get along, go to school, get jobs and pay taxes, stop drugs, shooting each other, raise their kids....one speech would have moved mountains but he used the issue for his own political capital and to keep people right where they were. Shameful really.
I know that the issue as a whole is not that simple but words have strong meaning from a place of power and a person with a background like this.
