Editors note: An earlier version of this story, which was based on a Federal news service transcript, said President Obama referred to the overall majority of good black people not using racism as an excuse. Mr. Obama actually said, the overall majority of black people do not use racism as an excuse.
Before flying off to Hawaii for a two-week vacation, President Obama said Friday that most blacks understand Americas history of slavery and segregation isnt an excuse for their current challenges.
Asked by a reporter to assess the state of black America, Mr. Obama said most blacks are better off now than when he came into office, due to the economic recovery. But he said the gap of income and wealth between whites and blacks persists, and weve got more work to do on that front.

Maybe 6 years ago this was true, but not now.
Obama, Holder, Sharpton and all the other race hustlers and race baiters have turned black-white relations into a dangerous and very volatile situation.
I hope at least some low info voters are starting to wake-up.

Part of the set up. Ultimately he is going to blame racism as the reason his presidency was an abject failure.

...Obama said Friday that most blacks understand Americas history of slavery and segregation isnt an excuse for their current challenges. In other words:
"...if you like your racial harmony you can keep your racial harmony".
Or,in the words of Professor Gruber:
"Americans are stupid enough to believe this cr@p"

5-10 years from now, the greying Barack Hussein Obama, Black Statesman Emeritus, will still be expounding on how racist America just didn't understand his greatness.
He will be the black millennials MLK, a fighter against racial injustice.
He will command multi-million dollar speaking fees and he and the Mooch will live happily, ever after.

Army Bro, I fear they will never wake from the nanny-state coma into which they have been relegated.
Funny thing - when my Irish ancestors - Catholics, no less - came to this country after An Gorta Mor, they were greeted with great hatred and abuse. "No Irish Need Apply" - numerous depictions of Irish in political cartoons as ape-like, etc.
By today's standards, we should be marching coast to coast burning stores and looting at will.
Somewhere along the way we didn't get the memo, got assimilated into the great American Melting Pot, and joined in building this great Nation.
And yes, we are the Fighting Irish!

This is the Arabic character "nun" the first letter of the word "Nazarene." I post it as my avatar in solidarity with people of all faiths suffering persecution at the hands of Islam. Many of them are members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, dating from the days of the Apostles. They endure cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors they, and we, are all "Nazarenes." |

Always and every time he says he’s or some group isn’t doing something it is a guarantee that he is doing or they are doing the opposite. Therefore look for WAY more racism claims and racial dividing.
