Obama Talked About Racism


Actually, Obama talked about the racism that happens in America among many racist, especially between white and black people. Based on his friend and mentor that made statement that “God damn America”, he gave example how’s the people’s feeling about racism, the anger of African American to white American people that hasn’t gone yet. On the other hand, white American feels threatened by progress of African American. Even though this situation is not easy to solve, he believes that American needs to be union. All people that came from many backgrounds must be one to build America, so that’s mean people must work together as a nation to solve all the problems. Obama also mention that he came from different background, his father is from Kenya and his mother is White American.
According from his speech, I totally agree with the point that he talked, and also it is a big problem which can damage relationship among people generally and nationality specifically. I think the way he try to solve the problem in racism is really good, because he gave the real example and the clear concept to solve it. He not only tried to express the black people’s feeling about anger, but also tried to neutralize the situation by gave the right concept in their mind, like his statement “to condemn anger without understanding its roots and will not solve anything. In addition, I believe people shouldn’t be always focus in the diversity, but the must go to he same direction to the country and strengthen the nationality, it’s also important to try what people’s think and feel. Finally, I can say this is a really good speech.
