I am from an area where "the N word" is still said with frightening frequency and where the only black family that lives in my town (and yes, there is really just one) walks around town with their heads down. Seeing this, regardless of any politics, says a lot about how the views of the US in general regarding race are changing, and gives me hope for the future of race relations in my small, rural town.
Just an FYI for those commenting on Obama's speech writer, he writes his own speeches... ;) I would recommend reading one of his books, if for no other reason than to enjoy his mellifluous style of writing.
