President Barack Obama said the United States has not overcome its history of racism and is using the N-word to make his case.
In an interview, Obama weighed in on the debate over race and guns that has erupted after the arrest of a white man for the racially motivated shooting deaths of nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina.
“Racism, we are not cured of it,’ Obama said. “And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say ‘nigger’ in public. That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies don’t, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior.” …

This stupid son of a bitch is doing it on purpose.
Keep the masses at each others throats and the real masters can do whatever they please, to whomever they please.
Eight years ago you hardly ever heard anything about race, or race wars. In pops an anti-American president and blam, just like that, racism is relevant again.
Wonder if the punk POTUS will address how one particular race torching the cities of Fergurson and Baltimore is impacting race relations?
Maybe if we didn’t have a President and a political party constantly picking at the scab to keep the wound fresh, it would heal?
Yes, yes he is.
He wants trouble. He never misses an opportunity to divide.
So. Obama admits he has FAILED yet again.
Another lie. The US is not racist. People here and there may be racist but the nation is not.
It’ll take society 200 - 300 years to erase what this POS has done... if we’re lucky.
Alan West nails it on what the problem is in the black community. Why oh why couldn’t West have been our first black POTUS....

Obama and the Democrats don’t want racial harmony. They want a perpetual race war so that blacks feel endlessly aggrieved despite societal progress. He wants to keep them on the Democrat plantation and dependent on the government.
One does not cure a country of racism, unless the country has a legal system set up to perpetuate racism. Jim Crow laws (the real ones, not the pseudo issues called that name nowadays), or apartheid are examples of this.
One cures individuals of racism. But one cannot do so while being racist to the core, Mr. Obama.
... and the horse you road in on!
He was supposed to be the first “post racial president”. Yet there is not evidence of that.
Racism from whites is less than 1% of the problems afflicting blacks. The great majority of problems afflicting blacks is mostly self-inflicted: high crime rates and low motivation.
Well, he’s generally right that racism is alive and well in the USA. A lot of it, perhaps most, is directed toward Caucasians. I’m absolutely serious. As a white male, I’m automatically assumed to be an evil oppressor who gets a free ride from everyone and who engages in constant micro-aggressions (whatever those are) at anyone who doesn’t have white skin. Now, what do we call it when people make assumptions about entire groups of people based entirely on their skin color—white in my case? We call that RACISM.
All I want is an EQUAL chance as everyone else. I don’t want my children to be intentionally disadvantaged because of the color of their skin. That is exactly what is happening today, when white skin means one has to score higher or do better to achieve the same things, like admission to a college.
“overnight” = 200-300 yrs?
I don’t think the left understands the nature of hatred and racism. the nature of evil which racism is a branch can never disappears because of mans sinful nature. the president act as if racism only by those of European make up. he does not see his own racism which now permeates black culture.
