Cindy McCain's Speech -- What Was That Line About Not Seeking 'Retribution'?

You political experts, please weigh in on this section of Cindy McCain's speech last night:

I only need to speak the word Rwanda and the images it conjures are beyond description. In my box tonight is Ernestine, a woman, a friend, a mother like myself, whom I met in Kigali. She suffered unimaginable horrors and was made to watch appalling havoc wreaked on her family.

Yet, as the violence in her country subsides, she does not seek retribution — instead, she offers love and seeks reconciliation for her people. She says, simply, “It’s time to move on for me and my country.”
Ernestine, would you please stand up? Your courage is humbling. Your forgiveness is healing. You are my hero.

John McCain has shown no apparent interest in the issues of Rwanda, so her comments don’t appear to be in reference to her husband’s politics in regard to Africa. So, was her comment more a veiled message to African Americans about the potential of having a fellow African American in the White House, i.e., "Don't seek retribution... don't seek to get even... don't seek 'reparations'" ?

From everything I’ve seem, Barack Obama has shown no preferential “anything” toward African Americans. I’m voting for him, nonetheless, for a host of other very good reasons. I don’t think most black folks want preferential treatment as much as they desire a level playing field and rules that don’t change every time they enter the economic game in the US.

And for the record, I'm "for" reparations for African Americans. But, help me out, Black Sisters. What are your thoughts? Was her comment about not seeking “retribution” meant for us?
