Why not use Barack’s own words? In 1995 Hank De Zutter’s article “What Makes Obama Run?” in the Chicago Reader [http://www.chicagoreader.com/features/stories/archive/barackobama/] quoted Obama as stating “that white Americans couldn’t care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing.” If the quote is correct, Obama not only made a racial generalization, but one that imputes evil to the targets of the generalization. It would be evil for any American, white or otherwise to be uncaring about problems facing African-Americans. Perhaps Obama can justify the statement if the media ever gets around to asking him about it.

...quoted Obama as stating “that white Americans couldn’t care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing.”

Problems created by their own behavior for the most part, as honest blacks like Cosby, Williams, Sowell and Star Parker will attest. Guys like Obama are dime a dozen; an educated moron is still a moron.

Well we had that Kanye West doofus saying “George Bush don’t care about black people” and here is Obama merely generalizing it to all “typical white persons”

It does seem the MSM ought to get around to asking him about this. No conservative candidate could ever get away with such a ridiculous generalization about a minority group.
