Some people will likely object to this, but often I hear African-Americans defending Obamas inaction with the excuse that he is president for all the people. This morning I heard some of his comments advocating people go slow and how much things have improved from the 50s-60s. “Typically, progress is in steps. It’s in increments. When you’re dealing with something as deeply rooted as racism or bias in any society you’ve got to have vigilance but you have to recognize it will take some time and you have to be steady so you don’t give up when we don’t get all the way there.” I wonder how African-Americans would feel if a white man said that with patronizing tones? Things look like they are going backwards lately. All I could think about was: Oh but this whole country is full of lies Youre all gonna die and die like flies I dont trust you any more You keep on saying Go slow! Go slow! But thats just the trouble do it slow Desegregation do it slow Mass participation do it slow Reunification do it slow Do things gradually do it slow But bring more tragedy do it slow Why dont you see it Why dont you feel it I dont know I dont know https://youtube/watch?v=fVQjGGJVSXc
