Full Title: I 'absolutely' suffered racism in office, says Obama: Some Americans' 'primary concern about me has been that I seem foreign'

President Barack Obama says the color of his skin has 'absolutely' contributed to white Americans' negative perceptions of his time in office.

The president said in a Wednesday special looking back on his legacy, 'I think there's a reason why attitudes about my presidency among whites in Northern states are very different from whites in Southern states.

'Are there folks whose primary concern about me has been that I seem foreign, the other? Are those who champion the "birther" movement feeding off of bias? Absolutely,' he told CNN's Fareed Zakaria.

David Axelrod, a senior advisor to Obama at the White House who now runs the Chicago Institute of Politics, concurred.

'It's indisputable that there was a ferocity to the opposition and a lack of respect to him that was a function of race,' Axelrod told CNN, where he's also paid to work as a contributor.

Absolutely. Please play a continual loop of “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.” for him and have him explain what skin color has to do with him looking the nation in the eye and lying about ACA 57 times??? Except that it exposed the content of his “character”.

Obama set race relations back to the 1960 riots level while in office.

Obama “absolutely” suffered racism?

What a joke. Obama was the single worst example of a racist president since Lyndon Johnson. Or even before Lyndon Johnson.

Obama has done more to set race relations back than any other president.

He never struggled to eek out a living in a ghetto.
He lived a privileged upper-middle class existence
in Hawaii, thanks to his white grandparents.

The guy is practically more white than I am.
What a poser!!!

He may have witnessed it but as president “suffering” is a stretch and an insult to those who actually suffer.

LOL, racists gonna be racists.

(We’re talking about YOU, Oblowhole)

Nothing to do with your anti-American stance and complete incompetence on anything and everything that went beyond reading a teleprompter. But if it helps you sleep at night to think it is all racism, well...have at it.

Just as long as you shut your stinking, Marxist pie-hole. (I know, not much chance of that)

That’s OK Mr. Obama, we have suffered from 8 years of you and your racist buddies from the Black Panthers to the BLM.

Maybe it was the cat eyes and the horns sticking out of his head that people were concerned about.

President Snowflake. He’ll be getting his safe space in about 6 weeks.

So we should mark him down as adding to his already large order for the "world's smallest violin"?
