Obamas Speech 7e;t
/. Two h)ndred and twenty one years a-o, in a hall that still stands across the street, a
-ro)p of %en -athered and, with these si%ple words, la)nched A%erica:s i%probablee;peri%ent in de%ocracy.
2. "ar%ers and scholars< states%en and patriots who had tra4eled across an ocean to
escape tyranny and persec)tionfinally %ade real their declaration of independence at
a Philadelphia con4ention that lasted thro)-h the sprin- of /989.
. The doc)%ent they prod)ced was e4ent)ally si-ned b)t )lti%ately )nfinished.
=. +t was stained by this nation:s ori-inal sin of sla4ery, a >)estion that di4ided the
colonies and bro)-ht the con4ention to a stale%ate)ntil the fo)nders chose to allow
the sla4e trade to contin)e for at least twenty %ore years, and to lea4e any final
resol)tion to f)t)re -enerations.
6. f co)rse, the answer to the sla4ery >)estion was already e%bedded within o)r
1onstit)tion ? a 1onstit)tion that had at is 4ery core the ideal of e>)al citi@enship
)nder the law< a 1onstit)tion thatpro%ised its people liberty, and )stice, and a )nion
that co)ld be and sho)ld beperfected o4er ti%e.
. And yet words on a parch%ent wo)ld not be eno)-h to deli4er sla4es fro% bonda-e,
or pro4ide %en and wo%en of e4ery color and creed their f)ll ri-hts and obli-ations
as citi@ens of the 3nited States.
9. hat wo)ld be needed were A%ericans in s)ccessi4e -enerations who were willin- to
do their part ? thro)-hprotests and str)--le, on the streets and in the co)rts, thro)-h a
ci4il war and ci4il disobedienceand always at -reat ris* ? to narrow that -ap between
the pro%ise of o)r ideals and the reality of their ti%e.
8. This was one of the tas*s we set forth at the be-innin- of this ca%pai-n ? to contin)e
the lon- %arch of those who ca%e before )s, a %arch for a %ore )st, %ore e>)al,
%ore free, %ore carin- and %ore prospero)s A%erica.
$. + chose to r)n for the presidency at this %o%ent in history beca)se + belie4e deeply
that we cannot sol4e the challen-es of o)r ti%e )nless we sol4e the% to-ether ? )nlesswe perfect o)r )nionby )nderstandin- that we %ay ha4e different stories, b)t we hold
co%%on hopes< that we %ay not loo* the sa%e and we %ay not ha4e co%e fro% the
sa%e place, b)t we all want to %o4e in the sa%e direction ? towards a better f)t)re for
o)r children and o)r -randchildren.
/0. This belief co%es fro% %y )nyieldin- faith in the decency and -enerosity of the
A%erican people.

h)e, scattered across three continents, and for as lon- as + li4e, + will ne4er for-et that
in no other co)ntry on !arth is %y story e4en possible.
/. B)t it is a story that has seared into %y -enetic %a*e)p the idea that this nation is
%ore than the s)% of its parts ? that o)t of %any, we are tr)ly one.
/9. +n So)th 1arolina, where the 1onfederate "la- still flies, we b)ilt a powerf)l coalition
of African A%ericans and white A%ericans.
/8. At 4ario)s sta-es in the ca%pai-n, so%e co%%entators ha4e dee%ed %e either Ctoo
blac*C or Cnot blac* eno)-h.C
/$. The press has sco)red e4ery e;it poll for the latest e4idence of racial polari@ation, not
)st in ter%s of white and blac*, b)t blac* and brown as well.
20. n one end of the spectr)%, we:4e heard the i%plication that %y candidacy isso%ehow an e;ercise in affir%ati4e action< that it:s based solely on the desire of wide?
eyed liberals to p)rchase racial reconciliation on the cheap.
2/. n the other end, we:4e heard %y for%er pastor, (e4erend &ere%iah ri-ht, )se
incendiary lan-)a-e to e;press 4iews that ha4e the potential not only to widen the
racial di4ide, b)t 4iews that deni-rate both the -reatness and the -oodness of o)r
nation< that ri-htly offend white and blac* ali*e.

26. +nstead, they e;pressed a profo)ndly distorted 4iew of this co)ntry ? a 4iew that sees
white racis% as ende%ic, and that ele4ates what is wron- with A%erica abo4e all that
we *now is ri-ht with A%erica< a 4iew that sees the conflicts in the Middle !ast as
rooted pri%arily in the actions of stalwart allies li*e +srael , instead of e%anatin- fro%the per4erse and hatef)l ideolo-ies of radical +sla%.

2. As s)ch, (e4erend ri-ht:s co%%ents were not only wron- b)t di4isi4e, di4isi4e at a
ti%e when we need )nity< racially char-ed at a ti%e when we need to co%e to-ether
to sol4e a set of %on)%ental proble%s ? two wars, a terrorist threat, a fallin-
econo%y, a chronic health care crisis and potentially de4astatin- cli%ate chan-e)arely facin- o)r own co%plicity in o)rcondition, and pre4ents the African?A%erican co%%)nity fro% for-in- the alliances
it needs to brin- abo)t real chan-e.
8. Most wor*in-? and %iddle?class white A%ericans don:t feel that they ha4e been
partic)larly pri4ile-ed by their race.
$. They are an;io)s abo)t their f)t)res, and feel their drea%s slippin- away< in an era of
sta-nant wa-es and -lobal co%petition, opport)nity co%es to be seen as a @ero s)%
-a%e, in which yo)r drea%s co%e at %y e;pense.
90. So when they are told to b)s their children to a school across town< when they hear
that an African A%erican is -ettin- an ad4anta-e in landin- a -ood ob or a spot in a
-ood colle-e beca)se of an in)stice that they the%sel4es ne4er co%%itted< when
they:re told that their fears abo)t cri%e in )rban nei-hborhoods are so%ehow
pre)diced,resent%ent b)ilds o4er ti%e.
9/. Tal* show hosts and conser4ati4e co%%entatorsb)ilt entire careers )n%as*in- bo-)s
clai%s of racis% while dis%issin- le-iti%ate disc)ssions of racial in)stice and
ine>)alityas %erepolitical correctness or re4erse racis%.
92. &)st as blac* an-er often pro4ed co)nterprod)cti4e, so ha4e these white resent%entsdistracted attention fro% the real c)lprits of the %iddle class s>)ee@e ? a corporate
c)lt)re rife with inside dealin-, >)estionable acco)ntin- practices, and short?ter%
-reed< a ashin-ton do%inated by lobbyists and special interests< econo%ic policies
that fa4or the few o4er the %any.
9. And yet, to wish away the resent%ents of white A%ericans, to label the% as
%is-)ided or e4en racist, witho)t reco-ni@in- they are -ro)nded in le-iti%ate
concerns ? this too widens the racial di4ide, and bloc*s the path to )nderstandin-.
9=. 1ontrary to the clai%s of so%e of %y critics, blac* and white, + ha4e ne4er been so
naG4e as to belie4e that we can -et beyond o)r racial di4isions in a sin-le electioncycle, or with a sin-le candidacy ? partic)larly a candidacy as i%perfect as %y own.

96. B)t + ha4e asserted a fir% con4iction ? a con4iction rooted in %y faith in od and %y
faith in the A%erican people ? that wor*in- to-ether we can %o4e beyond so%e of
o)r old racial wo)nds, and that in fact we ha4e no choice if we are to contin)e on the
path of a %ore perfect )nion.
