Barack Obama, fredspristagare och f.d. amerikansk president säger i en
intervju, som finns på New York Posts hemsida bl.a
“Sometimes people just want to not feel as if they are walking on
eggshells, and they want some acknowledgment that life is messy and that
all of us, at any given moment, can say things the wrong way, make
mistakes,” he added.
Obama said Democrats need to “be able to speak to everybody about their
common interests.”
“And what works for I think everybody, is the idea of a basic equal
treatment and fairness. That’s an argument that’s compatible with progress
on social issues and compatible with economic interests,” he said.
“I think where we get into trouble sometimes is where we try to suggest
that some groups are more – because they historically have been victimized
more – that somehow they have a status that’s different than other people
and we’re going around scolding folks if they don’t use exactly the right
phrase,” Obama said. “Or that identity politics becomes the principle lens
through which we view our various political challenges.”
