During the last presidental campaign, Obama managed to avoid talking about race for a very long time. That was until the media found out that he had been attending the church of the controversial minister Jeremiah Wright. In this video, by THNKR, different speechwriters who has worked for presidents (you didn't think they write their own speeches?) analyzes the speech Obama gave as an answer to the critique. This may sound boring, but trust me: if you like to learn how to use words as a weapon, you want to watch this! You can learn A LOT. Notice the different parts of the speech, emphasized by the green headlines.
