They seem in context to me? And I did read every word of that article.

This is not just about Obama - it's how many of us have experienced America during this Presidency. For those of us Gen X and older - it's showed just how far we have NOT come - and very much how the 'old rules' are in play.

The article also touches on Obama's response to every day acts of racism and bigotry that made national news - and how he was accused of being a you know 'what' (can't write it with a T around DU) because he had the gall to say to America -

Hey! I 'get' this. This is how I've experienced this country. This is how I relate.

Perhaps you can clarify your thoughts on the article?
