是新的么？highlight 一句 The Massachusetts senator said Obama has an ability

Speaking of the race speech from Tuesday, Obama supporter John Kerry gave an
interview with a local N.H. paper, reports NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli. In it,
Kerry said the color of Obama's skin makes him uniquely qualified for
president and even reach out to the moderate Islam world. During an
interview with the New Bedford Standard Times, portions of which were posted
on YouTube, John Kerry says bluntly that Barack Obama has the potential to
“bridge the divide in religious extremism” because he is black.

“It would be such an affirmation of who we say we are as a people if we can
elect an African American president, a young leader who is obviously a
visionary and got an ability to inspire people,” Kerry said. “It will give
us an ability to talk to those countries, to in some cases go around their
dictator leaders to the people and inspire the people in ways that we can’t
otherwise.”

The Massachusetts senator said Obama has an ability to perhaps even empower
moderate Islam “to be able to stand up against the racial misinterpretation
of a legitimate religion.” Asked by a reporter what gave Obama the
credibility to do so, Kerry said, “Because he’s African American. Because
he’s a black man, who has come from a place of oppression and repression
through the years in our own country. We only broke the back of civil rights
, Jim Crow, in the 1960s here. Everybody in the world knows this is a recent
journey for America too. And everybody still knows that issues of skin and
discrimination still exist.”
