Obama in first presidential podcast: US not cured of racism
Associated Press ^ | Jun 22, 2015 4:03 AM EDT | Nedra Pickler

President Barack Obama said the United States has not overcome its history of racism and is using the N-word to make his case.

In an interview, Obama weighed in on the debate over race and guns that has erupted after the arrest of a white man for the racially motivated shooting deaths of nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina.

“Racism, we are not cured of it,’ Obama said. “And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say ‘nigger’ in public. That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies don’t, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior.” …

I'd say racism is worse than it's been for a long time, and not by accident.
Obama, being a Marxist, has used his bully pulpit to fan the flames of racial divisiveness, as have those in his clown posse administration, not limited to Eric "The Red" Holder.

Although there are many blacks who are conservative, the vast majority of the community isn’t educated in black history. They take the Dems at their word, without doing research on the true nature of who oppressed the black people, who was against freeing the slaves, and equal rights. Are they just dumb or not interested in knowing the truth?

Obama is full of surprises. Just when you think he can’t say anything more stupid, he pops up and does it.

The US had legalized slavery for less than 80 years; race-baiters will use “400 years” because European colonizers brought slavery here before our independence.

50 years after reparations started, and 150 years after the Civil War ended, and we’re still hearing a slew of excuses as to why a specific group can’t get ahead - and none of the excuses point to their own shortcomings in terms of education, family or culture.

Blacks are terrified that the golden goose of affirmative action will be slain, therfore they have to ally themselves with the same groups that take the set-aside jobs and college seats from them (Hispanics and white females). The left has gone so far as to describe having loving, married, involved parents as a reason to discriminate against our children.

Someday they will grow up, become adult Americans, and succeed on their own merits. I doubt I’ll see that day.

>>He was supposed to be the first “post racial president”. Yet there is no evidence of that.

We will be told that we failed him.

It can never be 100% cured when you have a racist President.

I’d hate to see what his definition of “cured” is.

Why is it when a muzzie diaper-head kills an infidel all we hear is that not all muzzies commit murder, but whenever one white kid kills a black person all we hear is how we are all racist?

Yet we hear all that blather about how he was going to “heal this nation’s wounds,” “bring peace to the land,” etc., etc....

So what happened to that “new era of racial tranquility,” Barky?

Under Obama racism has become far worse than before his arrival. As an octogenarian in the South it is the worse today than at anytime in my life. I can’t figure out how he has ben so successful at tearing the fabric of the nation as this man has done. The general public seems blind to it.

““Racism, we are not cured of it,’ Obama said.”

How old is Obama, 54? At his age, he should know better than to think that there is a cure. He’s right up there with the third-graders in a public school system.

“Imagine there’s no grown-ups. I wonder if you can...”

We're not cured of racism. We're also not cured of poverty, cancer, and stupid people. The Miss America contestants always say they want "world peace." Everybody wants something not achievable.

Someone needs to tell obammy that in the words of one of our country's insightful poets...

"And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate

Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake

Shake it off"

Cured? No, it’s a virus being spread by Obama, Sharpton and all the other race baiters who hate this country and the gains it had made over the last 50 years.

Of course we’re not cured of racism, any more than we can be cured of other innate propensities, good and bad.

One can hope that Charleston has served the purpose of disabusing everyone of the notion that the South is somehow uniquely more racist than other regions of the country.

What is happening there is happening because the South has melded the races in ways other regions just don’t have the abiity to understand. The commonality of Christianity is the pivotal difference.

The South looks less racist, to me, very much less, and one can only hope Charleston plays a role in changing the prevailing wisdom.

Odumbo has set the issue of racisim back all by himself. What has he ever said that would calm the issue down? NOTHING! Infact, he only contributes more fuel to the fire.

> I can’t figure out how he has ben so successful at tearing the fabric of the nation as this man has done. The general public seems blind to it.

I believe its because he has people like Soros backing him with very deep pockets who want America removed as the world’s police force so its power is dimished and the NWO can be ushered in. I believe people like Soros have much profit to be made with the NWO and its all about forced fleecing of the flocks. I also think people like Soros probably employ psychologists, historians, economists, and sociologists to see what steps need to be taken to ensure all of the above. What we have are people in power whose evil is unprecedented to the American sheeple who have become complacent and apathetic living cushy lifestyles for decades. To Soros this is like fleecing the Jews, taking everything they own, destroying their lives, etc...just like when he was a youth and enjoyed it so much. This is just pleasureful recreation for him with profit involved.

0bama using the “N” word in his latest speech is a typical black double standard . My wife works in a sports bar outside Baltimore City . The clientele is about 50/50 black and white , She never ever hears white customers using the “N” word but often has to tell black customers she is offended by their loud and boisterous use of the word usually combined with a lace of profanity . Perhaps 0bama should spend more time working on black self respect before launching an attack on white racism that hardly seems to exist with the majority of whites .
