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.” …

His thesis is: if one person is or was racist within the past 200 years, then the whole country is racist and will be racist for the next 500 years.

Why in a racist country would dumpy white chicks pretend to be black?

Other than the white homosexual girly men in the state controlled “media” who have a thing for black men, does anyone listen to this lowlife moron anymore?

“”Eight years ago you hardly ever heard anything about race, or race wars. In pops an anti-American president and blam, just like that, racism is relevant again.””

Yep - Johnnie Cochran got it started again with the OJ trial and then it began to die down until this bozo came on the scene. He deliberately throws gasoline on a fire.
The fact that he said the real word and not “the N word” shows that he delighted in getting it out there. Who does that in public life? No one!

Overnight? As in 60 years of desegregation, compared to 80 years of slavery? Or should I point out it was 80 years of slavery, and 150 years without?

Where do these elites live? The last racist comment I’ve heard in person was from a cab driver in Las Vegas about 30 years ago. I’ve heard far more anti-white racism, accepted and pushed by government officials, than I ever have heard anti-black racism.

That is an excellent point. The only time something is a “collective” sin is when it’s a white, or Christian, or male. But blacks aren’t collectively to blame for their higher-than-proportional rates of assault, rape, and murder of whites. heck, they’re not even individually to blame, when there’s a white person around to be the “reason” they do these things. So the whites get to be victimised twice-as the target of the crime, and as the “societal” reason for the criminal targeting them in the first place.

The left understands just fine. That’s why they always exploit it to make the “revolution” happen faster.

most of the left are not the ones doing the exploitation of racism. it is the leadership that does this and yes the leadership does understand the nature of evil because in most cases they are the instigators of evil. Most those fallowing the liberal leaders are useful idiots that cant see what is going on. so when the president gets up and says that the nation is racist they except what he says with out questioning his motive or whether he is the one that is actually perpetrating racism.

Would it be too much to ask that Obama acknowledge the forgiveness of the victims’ families for the shooter? They forgave the racist SOB for what he did. They are LIVING the Christian faith and Obama prattles on about idiotic assumptions on gun control and racism. This church is a part of the living body of Christ that unites us all. Instead, Obama focuses on the things that divide and alienate us. He is NO Christian.
