I don't think you understand how huge this is.
This was a politician, a politiciain running for President of the United States, the most powerful position in the world, and not some wacko, a guy in the
actula running. And he stood up and said:
There is no simple solution to this. There is no black or white, good or evil, us or them here. That the very act of saying this is black or white, the very
act of judging people based on a single trait, be it colour of skin or what they said about one thing or anything else is WRONG. The world is a complex and
hard and difficut one that requires us to compromise and sacrifice and work together and can not be solved by slogans or happy thoughts. That everybody, on all
sides, have legimtimate greivances and that finding a way to make us all happy will be hard.
In the words of Jon Stewart: "he spoke to us as if we were adults."
And its about fucking time.
