I’m guessing Obama, since it’s in the tags.
@skibum Do you know who said it, or are you really asking?

Pretty sure that was Obama, but I don’t like the quote.. sounds wishy washy

Correctly punctuated, it reads better:

“We have overlooked appearances, ignored misconceptions, recognized color is blind, focused on views, and remembered The Dream.”

The “focused on views” reads awkwardly. Perhaps it’s “focused our views”?

It sounds to me very much like it could be a quote from Jesse Jackson or another civil rights worker. Doesn’t sound like Obama to me.
