I was also profoundly moved and impressed by this speech, I think it may be the most important I've heard in my life time. And I hope that because he was able to acknowledge the feelings of whites who resented busing, and immigrants who felt that they never benefited from white bias (or had anything to do with slavery in this country), that these people will be able to hear and understand the resentments of Black Americans. One commentator pointed out, rightly, that this wasn't a speech that could be given by any white candidate (male or female).
