And make no mistake about it, this is the march of our time -- marching door to door, registering people to vote. Marching everyone you know to the polls every single election. See, this is the sit-in of our day -- sitting in a phone bank, sitting in your living room, calling everyone you know -- (applause) -- your friends, your neighbors, that nephew you haven’t seen in a while, that classmate you haven’t spoken to in years -- making sure they all know how to register, where to vote -- every year, in every election.The speech is riddled with key words like "struggle", "segregated", and "march"; clearly designed to stoke the embers of anti-racist sentiment from decades ago.
The real question here is, will the American black voters actually fall for this shameful act of manipulation? Will Michelle Obama's careless use of past racist ideas to stoke an anger which should have died years ago cause race riots if Barack loses? And is that what they're counting on?
