President Obama believes racial equality has improved during his tenure, partially thanks to policies — including his signature health care law — undertaken by his administration.
“If you look at the history of race in America, it’s usually not a single moment where everything gets solved — it’s a process,” Obama said in an interview Tuesday with Univision. “I think that because of our policies, there’s more equality than when I came in. With respect to health care, with respect to access to college, with respect to opportunity. I think because of the work Eric Holder has done under my direction i think the criminal justice system has improved.”
Obama added that when talking to members of his daughters’ generation, “their attitudes absolutely are better when it comes to race.”

This Obamahole just lies. Always.
Must be a typo...I think he meant “radical” instead of “racial”.
His delusions of grandeur are the result of an affirmative action hands-off policy whereby he can claim anything and not be called out on it. Black discontent is reaching record levels because they realize they are much worse off under him, and the primary beneficiaries of his policies are homosexuals and Hispanics.
They are being told white Republican obstruction is to blame (and many buy that), but an increasing number seem to believe they’ve been had by him. Years ago blacks in my workplace that had put up his pictures after the 2008 election removed them; they realized the last time they had gone on crusies or bought new cars was under GW Bush, and concluded that Obama wasn’t good for them.
Don’t know about equality but he has prepared the field for a serious leveling - he lit the fuse and it’s only a matter of time before it reaches the critical mass that causes the reaction of a fed up citizenry towards an out-of-control set of destructive animals.
He is right about the young people. In the long, slow process beginning in 1954, the kids of different races have come to know each other better. And that gets rid of the fear of the stranger, which blocks knowledge and therefore prevents friendship. It is all coming together among the young.
But Obola himself has hurt the process, with his continual proliticization of racial issues and exploitation of what is left of racism to foment disturbance.
I concur wholeheartedly with the reason. Not so sure that Black Americans are that upset with him. I know the thinking folks are and have seen the light. He has done more to sow the seeds of discontent and divisiveness that ant other president I can remember.
Yet another bold Obama lie.
Nothing could be further from the truth ... and by design ... because as a devout Marxist promoting the racial divide has been a mission of Obama and his hand maiden Eric "The Red" Holder.
Folks are missing the truth of this!
He has improved “equality”, ie, he BROUGHT YT’S ECONOMIC CONDITION _DOWN_.
Read it. And this could be applied to many politicians. Pelosi, Reid, etc.
The black family of the man who was shot the other day by a white cop by mistake in the stairwell of a NYC building told Sharpton to stay away from the funeral and don’t bring your circus here.
Good for them! Sharpton, Jackson and the rest of the race baiting ilk need to fall off the face of the earth. For Obama to say he has improved racial divide is such a horrific fallacy.
They know their standards of living fell, and because they had been trained to mindlessly blame Bush for any setback in their lives previously they are doing the same to Obama. Can’t publicly criticize him (they’d be beaten back onto the plantation), but all joy is gone (as are his pictures).
