Obama to Luther King - yet another "Yes we can"

Here is a 40min discours by Barack Obama to the NAACP (most influencial right defender association since 100 years in USA), concerning racial issue regarding american values and today's politics. I found it as usual very just and touching, but unusually putting the light on the president's views on race issues. As a matter of fact Obama didn't talk much about this issue during the elections, as he was probably afraid to take too much side for a community and risk to miss a concensius, which i can understand. But truth is that he could have tried the shot, in my opinion his vision of this is very relevant once more, as it puts in perspective all american values and the very definition of the american dream ! He takes care not to seperate colored communities in fight against present system, but reafirms american values that can help them integrate better, and reassure them that on the other side government is legiferating in the same direction. No more say, see for yourself :
