Obama and Reagan Finally Have Something in Common (But it's Nothing to Brag About) →

In Keli Goff’s rather diplomatic indictment of President Obama’s lack of leadership in addressing the AIDS crisis, she suggests the president may have a kind of racial anxiety about proving that he is “president of all Americans, not just Black Americans,” which has kept him from discussing publicly the disproportionate ways Blacks are affected and infected by HIV/AIDS.
True, AIDS “transcends barriers of race or station or sexual orientation or faith or nationality,” but we cannot ignore the ways those differences need to shape a robust—if not adequate—national AIDS strategy.
