President Barack Obama referenced prejudice against gays, Latinos, and Muslims in his first major address to an African-American audience Thursday night at the centennial celebration of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Obama told the audience that there might be "a temptation among some to think that discrimination is no longer a problem in 2009."
"But make no mistake," he continued, "the pain of discrimination is still felt in America. By African-American women paid less for doing the same work as colleagues of a different color and gender. By Latinos made to feel unwelcome in their own country. By Muslim Americans viewed with suspicion for simply kneeling down to pray. By our gay brothers and sisters, still taunted, still attacked, still denied their rights.
"On the 45th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, discrimination must not stand. Not on account of color or gender; how you worship or who you love. Prejudice has no place in the United States of America."
