We have, by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism
America is still struggling to overcome its "legacies of slavery, Jim Crow, colonialism, and racism," President Obama told Comedy Central Monday night. Appearing on "The Daily Show," Obama was asked about how he speaks to crowds about race. How does he "skirt that line between speaking your mind and sharing your true opinions on race whilst, at the same time, not being seen to alienate some of the people you are talking to," host Trevor Noah asked. "You know, my general theory is that, if I was clear in my own mind about who I was, comfortable in my own skin, and had clarity about the way in which race continues to be this powerful factor in so many elements of our lives," Obama said. "But that it is not the only factor in so many aspects of our lives, that we have, by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism, but that the progress we've made has been real and extraordinary, if I'm communicating my genuine belief that those who are not subject to racism can sometimes have blind spots or lack of appreciation of what it feels to be on the receiving end of that, but that doesn't mean that they're not open to learning and caring about equality and justice and that I can win them over because there is goodness in the majority of people."

No, what 'we' are struggling to overcome is Marxist indoctrination that whites are somehow inherently evil, aracial and that so called 'race relations' only started in this nation and are strictly the responsibility of whites.
If colonialism is so bad, why is the Islamist president importing a s***load of muslims to America (61% of all muslims in America are first generation immigrants) to colonize this nation (with foreign funded mosques)?
Has not overcome, for him, to the extent that America is still America.
America, for Obama, can only purify its soul by ceasing to be America.
Go away Loathsome Creature.
Chronologically, an individual in year 2016 moaning about US slavery is the same as an Englishman in year 1926 moaning about the loss of the North American colonies.
F-king Marxist...
I am on the receiving end of racism almost every day. When Barky and his ilk figure that out, then we can start to repair the divide that exists in this country today. He is truly the divider in chief.
That’s what happens when you put a red diaper doper baby community activist in charge who spent 20 years in the congregation of a black separatist former muslim’s “church” being indoctrinated in hate.
He said in his book that he didn’t want to be seen as a sellout so he hung out with the Marxist professors.
I’ll be glad when the little sh*thead is out of office. He can go cry about AmeriKKKa to his rev. Sharpton and Wright and go on “Communist Central” to indoctrinate the audiences in Marxist humour.
We recently saw a trailer for a movie about the Black women, who were calculating the math for the Mercury Program. I was watching that trailer thinking, ‘this is the early 60’s. Who would ever think that Blacks were lagging behind Whites, in education etc, and would need Affirmative Action?’ The Democrat’s pandering to Blacks has really set that community back decades. If the expectations for Blacks had been the same as Whites, during the last five decades, we would be on a level playing surface anyway. I like that Trump asked the Black community ‘what have you got to lose?’.
I look at my pay statement every 2 weeks, and I can affirm that slavery is alive and well in the US. It’s measured by a unit called “Federal Tax Withheld”

Racism pays extremely well.
Pray America woke
Be happy.
This kind of constant crapping on USA by 0bama is what paved the way for Donald Trump.
I cannot wait for this moron to be gone.
Oops - double post. I blame the Russians.
We have not overcome those legacies until the Democrat party is completely destroyed and viewed with Universal contempt.
What you got against quilts?
I am second to none in my absolute loathing of scumbag Barry, but I don't recall him ever actually denying the Rat party's links to slavery, Klan and Jim Crow.
Not that I ever heard him acknowledge those links, but did he actually deny them? Do you have a link or a source of him doing so?
Yep. The Democrat Party was the biggest defender of slavery. The Democrat Party created Jim Crow laws. To this day, the Democrat Party is a den of racism.
It is important to remember that the Republican Party was created to oppose slavery. Within its first decade, the Republican Party amended the Constitution to end slavery and give the former slaves the right to vote.
I know the feeling of being discriminated against. My kind have been called terrible names, given nasty hand gestures, negatively labeled in the media, demonized in many articles, told we should be exterminated.
Barack Hussein Obama: Be quiet and go away. Blacks have been given ten times the breaks of my kind in America. That they’ve wasted it is their own doing. And you wasted your great opportunity to help them and improve relations.
