Obamas Speech 7e;t

/. Two h)ndred and twenty one years a-o, in a hall that still stands across the street, a

-ro)p of %en -athered and, with these si%ple words, la)nched A%erica:s i%probablee;peri%ent in de%ocracy.

2. "ar%ers and scholars< states%en and patriots who had tra4eled across an ocean to

escape tyranny and persec)tionfinally %ade real their declaration of independence at

a Philadelphia con4ention that lasted thro)-h the sprin- of /989.

. The doc)%ent they prod)ced was e4ent)ally si-ned b)t )lti%ately )nfinished.

=. +t was stained by this nation:s ori-inal sin of sla4ery, a >)estion that di4ided the

colonies and bro)-ht the con4ention to a stale%ate)ntil the fo)nders chose to allow

the sla4e trade to contin)e for at least twenty %ore years, and to lea4e any final

resol)tion to f)t)re -enerations.

6. f co)rse, the answer to the sla4ery >)estion was already e%bedded within o)r

1onstit)tion ? a 1onstit)tion that had at is 4ery core the ideal of e>)al citi@enship

)nder the law< a 1onstit)tion thatpro%ised its people liberty, and )stice, and a )nion

that co)ld be and sho)ld beperfected o4er ti%e.

. And yet words on a parch%ent wo)ld not be eno)-h to deli4er sla4es fro% bonda-e,

or pro4ide %en and wo%en of e4ery color and creed their f)ll ri-hts and obli-ations

as citi@ens of the 3nited States.

9. hat wo)ld be needed were A%ericans in s)ccessi4e -enerations who were willin- to

do their part ? thro)-hprotests and str)--le, on the streets and in the co)rts, thro)-h a

ci4il war and ci4il disobedienceand always at -reat ris* ? to narrow that -ap between

the pro%ise of o)r ideals and the reality of their ti%e.

8. This was one of the tas*s we set forth at the be-innin- of this ca%pai-n ? to contin)e

the lon- %arch of those who ca%e before )s, a %arch for a %ore )st, %ore e>)al,

%ore free, %ore carin- and %ore prospero)s A%erica.

$. + chose to r)n for the presidency at this %o%ent in history beca)se + belie4e deeply

that we cannot sol4e the challen-es of o)r ti%e )nless we sol4e the% to-ether ? )nlesswe perfect o)r )nionby )nderstandin- that we %ay ha4e different stories, b)t we hold

co%%on hopes< that we %ay not loo* the sa%e and we %ay not ha4e co%e fro% the

sa%e place, b)t we all want to %o4e in the sa%e direction ? towards a better f)t)re for

o)r children and o)r -randchildren.

/0. This belief co%es fro% %y )nyieldin- faith in the decency and -enerosity of the

A%erican people.

//. + a% the son of a blac* %an fro% 5enya and a white wo%an fro% 5ansas.

/2. + was raised with the help of a white -randfather who s)r4i4ed a 'epression to ser4e

in Patton:s Ar%y d)rin- orld ar ++ and a white -rand%other who wor*ed on a

bo%ber asse%bly line at "ort #ea4enworth while he was o4erseas.

/. +:4e -one to so%e of the best schools in A%erica and li4edin one of the world:s

poorest nations.

/=. + a% %arried to a blac* A%erican who carries within her the blood of sla4es and sla4e

owners? an inheritance we pass on to o)r two precio)s da)-hters.

/6. + ha4ebrothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, )ncles and co)sins, of e4ery race and e4ery

h)e, scattered across three continents, and for as lon- as + li4e, + will ne4er for-et that

in no other co)ntry on !arth is %y story e4en possible.

/. B)t it is a story that has seared into %y -enetic %a*e)p the idea that this nation is

%ore than the s)% of its parts ? that o)t of %any, we are tr)ly one.

/9. +n So)th 1arolina, where the 1onfederate "la- still flies, we b)ilt a powerf)l coalition

of African A%ericans and white A%ericans.

/8. At 4ario)s sta-es in the ca%pai-n, so%e co%%entators ha4e dee%ed %e either Ctoo

blac*C or Cnot blac* eno)-h.C

/$. The press has sco)red e4ery e;it poll for the latest e4idence of racial polari@ation, not

)st in ter%s of white and blac*, b)t blac* and brown as well.

20. n one end of the spectr)%, we:4e heard the i%plication that %y candidacy isso%ehow an e;ercise in affir%ati4e action< that it:s based solely on the desire of wide?

eyed liberals to p)rchase racial reconciliation on the cheap.

2/. n the other end, we:4e heard %y for%er pastor, (e4erend &ere%iah ri-ht, )se

incendiary lan-)a-e to e;press 4iews that ha4e the potential not only to widen the

racial di4ide, b)t 4iews that deni-rate both the -reatness and the -oodness of o)r

nation< that ri-htly offend white and blac* ali*e.

22. 'id + *now hi%to be an occasionally fierce critic of A%erican do%estic and forei-n

policyD f co)rse.

2. 'id + e4er hear hi%%a*e re%ar*s that co)ld be considered contro4ersial while + sat

in ch)rchD es.

2=. 'id + stron-ly disa-ree with %any of his political 4iewsD Absol)tely ? )st as +:% s)re

%any of yo) ha4e heard re%ar*s fro% yo)r pastors, priests, or rabbis with which yo)

stron-ly disa-reed.

26. +nstead, they e;pressed a profo)ndly distorted 4iew of this co)ntry ? a 4iew that sees

white racis% as ende%ic, and that ele4ates what is wron- with A%erica abo4e all that

we *now is ri-ht with A%erica< a 4iew that sees the conflicts in the Middle !ast as

rooted pri%arily in the actions of stalwart allies li*e +srael , instead of e%anatin- fro%the per4erse and hatef)l ideolo-ies of radical +sla%.


5/29

2. As s)ch, (e4erend ri-ht:s co%%ents were not only wron- b)t di4isi4e, di4isi4e at a

ti%e when we need )nity< racially char-ed at a ti%e when we need to co%e to-ether

to sol4e a set of %on)%ental proble%s ? two wars, a terrorist threat, a fallin-

econo%y, a chronic health care crisis and potentially de4astatin- cli%ate chan-e)arely facin- o)r own co%plicity in o)rcondition, and pre4ents the African?A%erican co%%)nity fro% for-in- the alliances

it needs to brin- abo)t real chan-e.

8. Most wor*in-? and %iddle?class white A%ericans don:t feel that they ha4e been

partic)larly pri4ile-ed by their race.

$. They are an;io)s abo)t their f)t)res, and feel their drea%s slippin- away< in an era of

sta-nant wa-es and -lobal co%petition, opport)nity co%es to be seen as a @ero s)%

-a%e, in which yo)r drea%s co%e at %y e;pense.

90. So when they are told to b)s their children to a school across town< when they hear

that an African A%erican is -ettin- an ad4anta-e in landin- a -ood ob or a spot in a

-ood colle-e beca)se of an in)stice that they the%sel4es ne4er co%%itted< when

they:re told that their fears abo)t cri%e in )rban nei-hborhoods are so%ehow

pre)diced,resent%ent b)ilds o4er ti%e.

9/. Tal* show hosts and conser4ati4e co%%entatorsb)ilt entire careers )n%as*in- bo-)s

clai%s of racis% while dis%issin- le-iti%ate disc)ssions of racial in)stice and

ine>)alityas %erepolitical correctness or re4erse racis%.

92. &)st as blac* an-er often pro4ed co)nterprod)cti4e, so ha4e these white resent%entsdistracted attention fro% the real c)lprits of the %iddle class s>)ee@e ? a corporate

c)lt)re rife with inside dealin-, >)estionable acco)ntin- practices, and short?ter%

-reed< a ashin-ton do%inated by lobbyists and special interests< econo%ic policies

that fa4or the few o4er the %any.

9. And yet, to wish away the resent%ents of white A%ericans, to label the% as

%is-)ided or e4en racist, witho)t reco-ni@in- they are -ro)nded in le-iti%ate

concerns ? this too widens the racial di4ide, and bloc*s the path to )nderstandin-.

9=. 1ontrary to the clai%s of so%e of %y critics, blac* and white, + ha4e ne4er been so

naG4e as to belie4e that we can -et beyond o)r racial di4isions in a sin-le electioncycle, or with a sin-le candidacy ? partic)larly a candidacy as i%perfect as %y own.


9/29

96. B)t + ha4e asserted a fir% con4iction ? a con4iction rooted in %y faith in od and %y

faith in the A%erican people ? that wor*in- to-ether we can %o4e beyond so%e of

o)r old racial wo)nds, and that in fact we ha4e no choice if we are to contin)e on the

path of a %ore perfect )nion.

9. B)t it also %eans bindin- o)r partic)lar -rie4ances ? forbetter health care, and betterschools, and better obs? to the lar-er aspirations of all A%ericans ?? the white wo%an

str)--lin- to brea* the -lass ceilin-, the white %an whose been laid off, the
