Obama fears his own daughters will suffer from racism: President tells of concern for Sasha and Malia in full interview addressing anti-police protests

'I want them to be judged based on....their behavior and their talents and their gifts,' Obama told BET's Jeff Johnson Obama said he doesn't want his future grandson 'to be subjected to the kind of constant bias that makes them feel as if this is not their home' He also said he believes the Eric Garner video 'troubled' Americans of all walks of life, including some police officers The president hit back at critics who say he's not taken the recent killings of black men seriously enough: 'I'm being pretty explicit about my concern' President Barack Obama got unusually personal during an interview about race relations that aired Monday night on BET.

The president spoke about his experiences as a young black man and opened up about concerns he has about the way his daughters, Sasha and Malia, and future grandsons could be treated in society because of their skin color.

'I want my children to be seen as the individuals that they are, and I want them to be judged based on the content of their character and their behavior and their talents and their gifts,' he told BET's Jeff Johnson.

'I don't want them to be objects of fear simply because of misguided attitudes.'

Obama said that part of what makes the racial tension exploding in America 'so heart breaking and frustrating for a lot of folks' is 'the recognition that simply by virtue of color, you've got less margin for error.'

He should take his family home to non-racist Kenya.

I just got in with it last night with a liberal on Facebook about all this supposed racism: SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE! Give me ONE single solitary example of racism between the police and blacks, where is it? A cop attempting to make an arrest after a black robs a store is NOT racism! Cops attempting to arrest a black man in New York city after he illegally sells cigarettes is NOT racism. A cop shooting a kid who points a toy gun at him is NOT racism. And of course this lib had to use those cases as “evidence” claiming the guy Michael Garner died because he “was choked on purpose” which is absolute BS. Liberals are SO obsessed with finding this phantom racism that they are believing it exists before any evidence of it exists. It’s like running around screaming Martians are here Martians are here, and when people ask “Where are the Martians?” you find out it’s all BS.

Clown Prince nobama proves yet again that he is a racist hack loser. Without his affirmative-action life, he would be breaking into convenience stores with his bros. His daughters have twenty silver spoons in their always-angry mouths. What a joke this purported-family of losers is. A pathetic joke...needing constant ridicule.

“I sincerely hope his daughters suffer in some way that Obama is witness to.”

***

Actually I don't. I'm sorry that they are being raised by these two grifters. I picture the daughters as adults having grown up learning to lie, cheat and steal. They won't have any life skills because their parents will teach them that they won't need them — those privileged white folks will provide for them. I see them sometime down the road broke, on drugs, with children out of wedlock, living on public assistance, possibly in jail.

It will be a tragedy. They are pretty girls and probably very smart, but their heads will be filled with communist propaganda mush from their parents and maybe their school. Their upbringing borders on child abuse.

They will indeed suffer from racism—that is imbedded now in their own hearts from being raised by some of the most insufferably racist, arrogant and evil people on this planet.

All the people protesting in the street now. I’ve been mentioning for the past few weeks, that these protesters are protesting against the very liberals THEY elected. Ferguson St.Louis is run by liberals, New York city is run by liberals - Who controls the police? These same very liberals they elected. As Ann Coulter was pointing out, Eric Garner was killed because nothing means more to liberals than taxes. He sells one untaxed cigarette and 4 cops show up and tackle his ass like they’re arresting a serial killer. If Conservatives ran that city guess what would happen? They’d tell the cops not to waste their time arresting a guy for selling one freakin’ cigarette and bust the punk ass gang members who kill every day.

Nobody fears young mixed race women and girls.

On BET?

What would happen if a white president went on a station called White Entertainment Television?

You are a better person than I am. I want retribution, and I’ll take it however it comes.

As for the girl’s future, they’ll be more than fine. The Obamas will be so wealthy, that the girls will have to struggle to harm themselves.

So...a black man who ascended to state senator, and then a two-term president of the United States...

C'mon with the "black" stuff, already...he's about as black as George Zimmerman, an octoroon. At least his kids are half black.

Want blacks judged by their behavior?
Look at video of Ferguson.
He doesn’t want blacks judged by their behavior. He wants special treatment given to them in spite of their behavior.

"Obama fears his own daughters will suffer from racism"

I'm guessing they already do.

He certainly does. He is indisputably a racist.

From 'Community Organizer' to 'Country Disruptor'.

The two most insulated and privileged little girls in the country and yet Obama worries about the "deep roots of racism" they face in America.

When their real worry is what expensive, elite private school they will attend after the White House & later what expensive, elite Ivy League college they will attend.

Worries indeed.

Every year, politicians of every stripe, and at every level, convene and enact new laws. More laws mean more laws being broken. It is not as if any of the traditional crimes have been eradicated. Now it is illegal to use your cell phone while driving, smoking in a public place. The cops have to enforce these laws. Now, it appears as if some people don’t take these laws seriously, so they defy the police when confronted by them. The police can’t back down so the situation escalates.

No doubt the big doofus believes that HE’S the victim of racism too. Despite the fact that over 60% of whites voted for him.
