After a year where the Black Lives Matter banner flew as high as the Confederate flag, President Obama is in a unique position to tackle race relations in America.
It may not seem that way with his historic presidency coming to an end. But when it comes to battling bigotry across the country, Obama is hardly a lame duck.
"Race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now," Obama said.
"The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through -- a part of our union that we have yet to perfect."(continued)

Obama doesn’t want racism ended.
He’s lose his edge if that happened.
.
0bama did such a job on police racism against Tamir Rice in his hometown of Chicago.
Riots in Ferguson and Baltimore, too.
Liberals must be proud.
Racism IS Obama’s legacy.
He was a racist from the start — and did his utmost to divide America along color lines.
Never heard of Leonard Greene.
Googling his name reveals only that he’s a “writer.”
In order to do that Obama has to accept that bigotry is present on both sides and not just the pale one. I don’t think he capable of that.
In O’s world, racism will only end when whites are slaves. He’s done more to exacerbate racial tensions than anyone in living memory.
Obama is by far the most racist U.S. president in my lifetime.
Because up to now he's done such a good job at it. /sarc
Surely, this guy is joking! Bowbama has put race relations back decades!
Can’t believe it took four posts. On most threads that would be pretty quick.
Obama has done nothing but stir the pot of racial animosity. He wants minorities to hate whitey.
Wasn’t Tamir Rice in Cincinnati?
He is the product of a racist system where non-blacks are to accept lower standards for blacks in every aspect of life. Poor education, speech, work ethic. We are to pretend this is normal, and any blacks that aren’t rapists or murderers are hailed as heroes...
End racism? He stoked it.
There are too many people and too much money involved in making sure that doesn’t happen.
But it doesn't change hearts. That comes from within and happens with the way children are taught and life experiences; religion may have a role as well.
They will never end racism completely. Obama being so one-sided and preachy whiny has set race relations back decades. We were doing better with it before he ascended the throne.
In the manner that Foxes should guard hen houses.
Worst race agitator i've ever seen in some sort of public office. He has made the racists look intelligent. They said a black man couldn't govern, and D@mned if Barack the dumb didn't do everything possible to make the Racists appear to be right. No, Barry Obama gave the sort of racism he claims to hate the biggest shot in the arm that anyone could have given it. He more or less singlehandedly revived racism in America.
God! What a stupid man he has turned out to be.
Which racism does he want ended. Black racism against whites or white racism against blacks.
