I'm the first to admit that I'm not as politically active as I probably should be. I vote at every presidential election and sometimes locally; but I'm not normally glued to the TV to watch every debate or listen to every political speech. But I did tune in for Obama's Tuesday speech this week because it was about race in America.

Most politicians stay away from this subject in fear of turning away voters and I really wanted to hear for myself what he would say. It was in my opinion one of the most honest, real and brave speeches I've ever heard.

He wasn't afraid of tackle all the difficult aspects of why race relations can be so hard - those things that cause tension and fear between different cultures and create so many different stereotypes. And he also pointed out all the things that make us the same - concerns about our families, jobs and everyday lives. Most importantly, he made clear that none of us can deny our heritage, our background and our culture even when they have faults.

If you missed the speech, listen to it and judge for yourself
