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.

How do you like this, this is an absolute hoot. City council members protesting the outcome over the very things THEY approved! I grew up in NYC until I moved a few years ago. Just about every single week this city council would do nothing more than ban things, ban this , ban that and they have the GALL to protest the results of the very BS THEY approved of?

That’s because blacks know that Obama attended the most elite schools, in Hawaii(Punaho) and at University. Obama’s daughters enjoy the best education available right now, and will have an open door to any college or university they choose. Who does he think he’s scamming?
