Multiple Views of Obama's Race Speech

Interesting take on Obama's speech from Tuesday. This Washington Post Op-Ed contends that the speech can be applied to all sorts of situations involving hate and race, not just slavery and African-American/Caucasian relations.

In both cases, it is very easy to oversimplify the situation to black and white, American and Islamic, or inherently racist and inherently evil. We must dig deeper and move beyond this petty view of things to fully solve our differences.
