Applied Research Center's Tammy Johnson discusses her dismay with President Obama's use of racially coded language in his speech to the Congress, and how coded language's presence only serves to illustrate the need for policies that proactively lift up our vulnerable communties.

Yes, we are not represented "outright". He couldn't call out to his other half (African) until he got the acceptance from his other half (white American). We all know how the game is played, and truthfully, he made all the right moves. He took a stand on Gates. Besides, there are many "working class" blacks as well. Just sit back and watch...this is getting interesting.
