Obama and the Hecklers

Some sort of black socialist movement interrupted Obama’s speech. Then the (largely white) audience started chanting “Yes, we can” but I’m still unclear what that was in reference too. “Yes, we can- shout down protesters?”

And I believe Obama puts on some sort of accent at the end of this video. Of course anyone who’s been in the South for a few days can tell you that you do fall into those patterns. That Burroughs quote about language being a virus holds true.

For future reference, now that we live on youtube, it’s important to remember to print in bigger fonts.
