for what it's worth

One opinion concerning the Obama speech

I believe that the main theme Mr. Obama put forth in his speech concerning racism was that it is a contradiction which exists in all of us. It exists in the country and has existed for generations. This is what we must overcome, both whites and blacks: this contradiction inside each us between bias and tolerance, between what we know is right and what we feel irrationally. Now is a great time for the races to come together, not to become more divisive.

Why have so many commentators overlooked that theme?
