He also does a Q & A after the speech showing his political nuance & approach

The passage itself isn’t exactly free from controversial material. In it, Obama described how his worldview as a teenager held that “any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning,” inasmuch as they were all racist. He’s not only open about just who “Frank” is, he talks about how the man “schooled” him on how racist white people were.
The clip below shows Obama’s stunning admission.
“And so I have a discussion with him about the kinds of frustrations I’m having, and he sorts of schools me that I should get used to these frustrations,” Obama said.
He also equates calling someone who held this worldview “paranoid” equivalent to calling him the n-word.

Obama takes a low blow shot at Cornel West in Q&A exchange too :troll:

Specifically, I was looking into the anger of middle-class blacks--into why people who seemingly had so much to celebrate were filled with resentment and rage. "Well, I can tell you why I'm angry," he began, launching into a long tale about his compensation package. Despite the millions he had brought into the firm the year before, his partners were balking at giving him his due. "They want you to do well, but not that well," he grumbled. The more he talked, the more agitated he became. What I had originally thought would be a five-minute conversation stretched on for nearly an hour as this normally restrained and unfailingly gracious man vented long-buried feelings.

another quote from the Newsweek article

As for himself, he said, he had come to terms with reality. He no longer expected praise, honor, or acceptance from his white colleagues, or from the white world at large. "Just make sure my money is at the top of the line. I can go to my own people for acceptance
