“It’s liberating to be in a country where black people are in the overwhelming majority… because it renders issues of race less relevant. It provides a certain clarity. You can focus on what’s right or wrong, true or false.” ~ Barack Obama
And here’s a point by double-speak Obama that I can agree with. Now, swap the word “black” for “white” in his quote and it still rings true.

Songs of our land, ye have followed the stranger,
With power over ocean and desert afar,
Ye have gone with our wanderers through distance and danger, And gladdened their path like a homeguiding star.
With the breath of our mountains in summers long vanished,
And visions that passed like a wave from the sand,
With hope for their country and joy from her banished.
Ye come to us ever, sweet songs of our land. (Francis Brown)
