President Obama on Sunday sought to calm tensions in the wake of racially charged protests in New York and Ferguson, Mo., saying the nation has made progress on race relations but emphasizing that the distrust between minority communities and law enforcement “will not be solved overnight.”
“This is something that’s deeply rooted in our society, that’s deeply rooted in our history,” Obama said in an interview on the cable network BET.
**SNIP**
“We have to be persistent,” Obama said in the BET interview. “Typically, progress is in steps. It’s in increments. When you’re dealing with something as deeply rooted as racism or bias in any society you’ve got to have vigilance but you have to recognize it will take some time and you have to be steady so you don’t give up when we don’t get all the way there.”

He and his ilk really want a race war.
Burn this bitch down.
His racism is “persistent,” for a half-white, you have to admit Persist racism, he much!
The entire “racism” brouhaha is so fatiguing for me that I have had to tune it out.
It never ends.

The Peckerhead is totally oblivious to the fact that the major racism today isn’t Whites leveling it against Blacks.
It’s the other way around.
..” a living breathing bobblehead”
but just barely!
If you were black in the fifties, you were a negro. If you were black in the sixties you were Afro-American. If you were black in the 1970’s and 1980’s, you were black, and if you are black in the present century, you are an African-American. (It doesn't matter that you cannot identify WHICH country on the continent Africa you are from, just that you are African-American and, (yes), Africa is a continent.
Second, In order not to be considered a racist bigot, all white Americans must be “flexible” and allow for the various, bizarre, and ever-changing labels of the black race to change at whim. Oh, and incidentally, they can call themselves and others of their race N—g-r but whites can be prosecuted for doing it.
More than 150 years has passed since the abolition of slavery and blacks have not settled on what they want to be called. Words give them a sense of worth that has eluded them. They play the race card from a very worn deck, hoping for some edge of leverage against whites.
As for me, just refer to me as a “white, honky cracker”. (Or worse, if you wish.) It doesn't bother me at all.
Bingo!
