"Any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning."
--Barack Obama, "Dreams from My Father"
Allow me to rephrase that:
Any distinction between good and bad blacks held negligible meaning.
Now allow me to expand:
It didn't matter if the person in question was a militant black racist bent on the destruction of a society that had always accommodated him or a middle-class black accountant, with a wife and two kids, trying to make a decent living and trying to live a decent life. The distinction between them was negligible.
This is the candidate of change and hope?
