Obama: Most black people don’t use racism as an excuse

Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story, which was based on a Federal news service transcript, said President Obama referred to “the overall majority of good black people” not using racism as an excuse. Mr. Obama actually said, “the overall majority of black people” do not use racism as an excuse.

Before flying off to Hawaii for a two-week vacation, President Obama said Friday that most blacks understand America’s history of slavery and segregation isn’t an excuse for their current challenges.

Asked by a reporter to assess the state of black America, Mr. Obama said most blacks are “better off now” than when he came into office, due to the economic recovery. But he said the gap of income and wealth between whites and blacks persists, “and we’ve got more work to do on that front.”

Before the 60’s not all blacks used racism as an excuse, but now most of them do, especially our half-white President who was raised by his rich white grandparents.

I agree pretty much with exactly what you said.

He has race baited the Trayvon Martin case, the Michael Brown case, and I’m not sure if he stepped in it for the Eric Garner case yet.

The result is Blacks are convinced they are getting a raw deal, and they have permission to act out now. Who could blame them for thinking that?

First of all, Holder has either been missing in action or exacerbating the situation. The Knock Out game has been kept under wraps, as it is plied across the nation. Chicago racial violence against Whites goes unreported for the most part. Other Black on White crime does too, including murders across the nation.

This has resulted in just what you stated. Perhaps six years ago that was true for the most part. Today I think there is a massive body of the Black populace that thinks it’s okay to do whatever the sam hell they want, based on centuries of evil.

Never-mind a good portion of that evil took place with Black complicity. Let’s not talk about that.

And then Sony elevates Al Sharpton...

What the bleepity bleep were they thinking?

Reparations now! Write every black person in the country a check for $1,000,000 and be done with it. To raise the money to pay for it, tax the rich. Problem solved.

Thanks PROCON.

Frankly, that way things are going, I don’t think we’ll have to look up much longer.

If you would have told me this nation would go down so quickly after Reagan, I would have laughed at you.

Now it’s just picking up speed.

I've never in my previous 39,794 previous replies posted a single sophomoric "sarcasm tag".

If anyone doubts my meaning, they can read my now 39,795 replies to check on my conservatism.

No, you’re mistaken; on your 29,568 post you mentioned the word sarcophagus; that’s close enough; I win, you lose...

Just two days ago there was an article posted here from Gateway Pundit entitled, ‘Barack and Michelle Obama: We’re Victims of Racism’.
TOTUS is a fickle mistress.

...

Obama is a black incompetent president, who lives and acts like a king, yet he brings up racism every day, and does whatever he can to increase racial tensions.

If Blacks really understand the history of slavery in America then they would never sully themselves by being remotely associated with the very party that has enslaved them to this day.

Another lie. Does he not get tired of this nonsense spewing from his mouth like a torrent?

He hath but a short time.

Lies spewing as a torrent:

Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

Had lunch with one of my LIV friends today. They are not starting to wake up. It’s not that he has a low volume of information, it’s that he has volumes upon volumes of information from CNN and NPR. To him they are the absolute authority on everything.
