The words and phrases you carefully pick and choose say more about you than about Obama. Here's other phrases from the same speech excerpt, nice and short to make it even more easy for you to ignore. ".. make no mistake: the pain of discrimination is still felt in America. By African-American women paid less for doing the same work as colleagues of a different color and gender. By Latinos made to feel unwelcome in their own country." [...] and "But we also know that prejudice and discrimination are not even the steepest barriers to opportunity today. The most difficult barriers include structural inequalities that our nation's legacy of discrimination has left behind; inequalities still plaguing too many communities and too often the object of national neglect." and "But our task of reducing these structural inequalities has been made more difficult by the state, and structure, of the broader economy; an economy fueled by a cycle of boom and bust; an economy built not on a rock, but sand." -raghu. -- Thesaurus: ancient reptile with an excellent vocabulary.
