President Obama in an interview airing Monday evening said that much of the public backlash to police-involved killings in Ferguson, Mo., and New York City is driven by the belief that minorities have “less margin for error” with law enforcement officials.
“Part of what I think is so heartbreaking and frustrating for a lot of folks when they watch this is the recognition that simply by virtue of color, you’ve got less margin for error,” Obama said in an interview with BET. “That’s particularly true for black boys.”
Obama has been on the defensive in the wake of grand juries deciding not to indict white police officers in killings of black men in Ferguson and Staten Island, with some accusing the nation’s first black president of being too passive.
He insisted in the interview that his administration was doing everything within its power to address the concerns of predominantly minority communities.

“That I cannot do institutionally," Obama explained. “I’m not putting my thumb on the scale of justice. It could compromise investigations.”
No better Bull crap was ever said....
Lighten up Barry. Geez.
Black men have more affirmative action. It more than balances things out, even though I reject Zerobama’s premise.
Honest black men who dress properly have nothing to fear from law enforcement or society at large. I don’t care a whit if criminal ghetto thug black men have less margin for error. They deserve to reap what they sow, just like everybody else.
BET? This clown can’t stop his post-racial race baiting.
Why don't we just say black American culture can't produce men to compete, because the culture is toxic and self-destructive?
The more error one deliberately commits, the smaller the margin shrinks, no?
It’s not solely “black American culture” since this kind of thing happens around the world and to all races. It’s Marxist pseudoculture, since its primary means of attack is against the family. Winston Churchill always made the right connection between Marxism and squalor.
“Black men have ‘less margin for error’”
This bungling fool’s own story disproves the claim.
Yes, white boys can punch cops and grab for their guns all day long and nothing ever happens.
Are you kidding me Mr President! If a white man tried to run for dog catcher on your credentials he would be laughed off the ballot
The “healer” is the biggest racial divisionist EVER!
I’m reminded of Daniel 4:17, especially the last words of the verse.
Black American culture has elements of Marxism in it. But it is the black culture that is uniquely self destructive, and separates itself from all other forms of Marxism.
they barge themselves into decent society because we can't ever ever restrict bad behavior, bad dress, crap music, violence.
The “knockout game” has become ‘Whack-a-thug’?
That’s truly unfortunate .... for the thugs.
My pasty white, blonde, blue eyed cousin freaked out and ran into a cornfield, crying during a traffic stop.
A slew of cops multi-tazered him to death.
Apparently, he did not get this memo in time.
No, it’s not the “culture” since it is not a plurality of blacks that even give that way of behaving any credence. It’s Marxism. I have seen lots of whites in Europe going on the exact same way.
Marxism has been all over Africa too since decolonization. All of the “big man” dictators owe their destructive philosophies to Marx in one way or another.

It’s clear what the solution is. We need to pull all the law enforcement officers i.e. racists out of the black neighborhoods. The cops (racists) can then patrol racist white neighborhoods exclusively so all the racist white people can get a taste of racist police injustice.
I’m sorry to hear that, Sal.
