What's sad is that Bill Cosby can say practically the same thing and be called an Uncle Tom. I actually really like this Obama speech. The "Well, you're not supposed to be in jail!" part cracked me up. I would hope that if he's elected he'll be seen as an excellent example of how far an African American man can go with the right attitude, ethics, morals, and drive.
