‘We have, by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism’
America is still struggling to overcome its "legacies of slavery, Jim Crow, colonialism, and racism," President Obama told Comedy Central Monday night. Appearing on "The Daily Show," Obama was asked about how he speaks to crowds about race. How does he "skirt that line between speaking your mind and sharing your true opinions on race whilst, at the same time, not being seen to alienate some of the people you are talking to," host Trevor Noah asked. "You know, my general theory is that, if I was clear in my own mind about who I was, comfortable in my own skin, and had clarity about the way in which race continues to be this powerful factor in so many elements of our lives," Obama said. "But that it is not the only factor in so many aspects of our lives, that we have, by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism, but that the progress we've made has been real and extraordinary, if I'm communicating my genuine belief that those who are not subject to racism can sometimes have blind spots or lack of appreciation of what it feels to be on the receiving end of that, but that doesn't mean that they're not open to learning and caring about equality and justice and that I can win them over because there is goodness in the majority of people."

All he does by using words as weapons is make honest and hard-working folks who wish to be left alone even more “racist”.
FUBO!
Barry: this country elected you twice! America never colonized anyone, unlike “progressives” like Europe and the Caliphates!
You are a disgrace to humanity Islama Obama! Maybe you can have Colin Kaepernick as the head admin of your mosque in Chicago...I mean President Liebrary.
Ah yeah Obama, like you and your troop of monkeys were all slaves, like my Scottish and Irish ancestors were. BO, do you have any comments on cannibalism in Africa?
Obama is correct. The dims enslave many people with their various scams, especially in democrat run cities. Democrats are always projecting what they are. Democrats are modern slavers.
Note to Obama:
Kenya by no means has overcome legacies of child exploitation and prostitution. But since the US is so bad, perhaps you wish you raised your daughters there.
He never stopped being the community organiser from Chicago, that’s what Frank Marshall Davis’ indoctrination moulded him for. His destiny was to be a black panther leader. Bill Ayres elevated him way past his capabilities, Soros paved the way and the rest is history.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Those who consider Obama merely sophomoric need to read your post again and again until it sinks in.
I can hardly wait until someone pierces the veil on Obama’s Occidental College records, his client list at the Illinois Bar Society, and also Michelle Obama’s client list and practice record from that bar society.Many of Obama’s records have been sealed or obscured, but not for much longer.
Does Obama realize that we were the colony, not the colonial power? I wonder how the word is treated in Common Core history.
I think Obama is a repeater, no ideas of his own, not even modifications of others. His legacy will be an empty chair.
