Obama fears his own daughters will suffer from racism: Tells of concern in full interview
The London Daily Mail ^ | December 8, 2014 | Francesca Chambers

* 'I want them to be judged based on....their behavior and their talents and their gifts,' Obama told BET's Jeff Johnson
* Obama said he doesn't want his future grandson 'to be subjected to the kind of constant bias that makes them feel as if this is not their home'
* He also said he believes the Eric Garner video 'troubled' Americans of all walks of life, including some police officers
* The president hit back at critics who say he's not taken the recent killings of black men seriously enough: 'I'm being pretty explicit about my concern'

President Barack Obama got unusually personal during an interview about race relations that aired Monday night on BET.

The president spoke about his experiences as a young black man and opened up about concerns he has about the way his daughters, Sasha and Malia, and future grandsons could be treated in society because of their skin color.

'I want my children to be seen as the individuals that they are, and I want them to be judged based on the content of their character and their behavior and their talents and their gifts,' he told BET's Jeff Johnson.

'I don't want them to be objects of fear simply because of misguided attitudes.'

Obama said that part of what makes the racial tension exploding in America 'so heart breaking and frustrating for a lot of folks' is 'the recognition that simply by virtue of color, you've got less margin for error.'

That's particularly true for black boys,' Obama said....

Allowing them to dress as sluts in their adolescence can’t possibly drive the narrative!”

If he has his way and his Muzzie bros take over they will be in their burkas and habibs soon enough.

I think he should me more worried about the horrible treatment of women by Islamic men.

REALLY..I knew she was a care giver, but did not know she got that type of salary..they should pay for their own child care.

that is totally ridiculous . those girls are old enough they should be looking after them selves...

Hell, I was watching two neighbors kids three hours daily when I was 14 years old..the obama girls are now 13 and 16 they should not have a ‘baby sitter’ and let Michelle and her brother contribute to their Mother's up keep and care.. not tax payers. Doesn't she spend a lot of time in Chicago? Do we pay for her travel costs?

Did we pay Hillary Clinton's mother for child care also? She also lived full time in the White House..

So much the average American , DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT WHAT GOES ON IN SIDE THAT WHITE HOUSE...

I STILL WANT TO KNOW WHY VALERIA JARRETT LIVES AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

WONDERING.....

Do tax payers pay for obama girls to have their hair done?
both of them have chemical straightening done to their hair, do we pay their hairdresser?

Does Michelle pay for her own hairdresser? or do tax payers? she wears wigs 99% of the time, she should know by now how to glue one on.....

So much they get FREE...wish they had to explain that to the voters...

Are you aware that we, the taxpayers, have been paying both the Clintons and the Bidens more money than they the Clintons and Bidens pay for their entire house payment to lease a portion of their property, the a guest house on their property, to the Secret Services to provide a base for the Secret Service security detail that provides security for them

In other words, the Clintons and Bidens cover their entire house payment plus make a hefty profit by leasing their guest house to the Secret Service to to base the security detail that protects them at their home..

Pretty good scam.

He was the only black child of poor shareholder folks, and worked hard from sun to sun, toting this and fetching that for cruel white people who often withheld his wages so they could buy opium.
In the evening, when he finished his bowl of thin gruel made from barley shells and oat husks, and a heel of course brown bread, he cleaned the house, cleared stumps and re-roofed the barn—all by lamp light..
And then he would dress up like a tart and walk 15 miles to the gay bars.

THIS GUY IS THE U.S. PRESIDENT. POOR, OPPRESSED HIM.

Yeah, but if it hadn't been for racism, he'd be emperor for life by now.

Wonder why he isn’t worried they’re already black racists themselves.

And wardaddy fears his daughters are at risk of being raped and murdered by black criminals should they get a flat in a black ghetto area of Middle TN or Brooklyn where each live

So what’s worse jackass terrorist coddling race baiter President?

My daughters fear of rape and death at the hands of your self identified tribe?

Or your fear of your no fault of their own daughters being offended one day?

That’s what I thought you insufferable foolish petty little boy man....

What your poor have to fear is being born of you on principl.......your treasonous legacy

A legacy threatening to all of us.

The reason this kind of thing goes on is because among a lot of the upper class, it’s fashionable to be helpless and useless and be coddled/protected from birth to death. Maturity in any form is seen as lower class. Instead of encouraging singular individualism, they encourage a pack codependency mentality. It’s an escape from personal responsibility and self-determination.

...”Full title: Obama fears his own daughters will suffer from racism: President tells of concern for Sasha and Malia in full interview addressing anti-police protests”...

And, white parents paying attention to the lies and the protests resulting from the leftist politicians trying to divide us by race are concerned for their white children. The irrational hatred, I would say, is going that way..I feel for the children whose best friends are black and they have never cared about that. Now, will those close friendships be damaged through the pressure brought for the black child to look at their little white friend with different eyes? The politicians doing this are straight from hell, if you ask me.

Racism has been good for him. He has made a wonderful career out of it.
