Greene: Ending racism should be Obama’s life mission as he exits presidency
The New York Daily News ^ | December 29, 2015 | Leonard Greene

After a year where the Black Lives Matter banner flew as high as the Confederate flag, President Obama is in a unique position to tackle race relations in America.

It may not seem that way with his historic presidency coming to an end. But when it comes to battling bigotry across the country, Obama is hardly a lame duck.

"Race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now," Obama said.

"The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through -- a part of our union that we have yet to perfect."(continued)

Poor Leonard. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, he still believes that Obama gives a damn about his black “brothers’...about America...about “healing”.

Obama has continued the victim game (complete with set-aside jobs, unearned diplomas/degrees/jobs, etc.), rather than encouraging blacks to grow up. His legacy will be that he harmed blacks worse than Jefferson Davis ever could.

I wonder when someone’s going to break it to Leonard Greene that “Muslim” isn’t a race...

Yep, The Marxist Muslim Mulatto will fix Race Relations.

All he has to do is the opposite of what he has done for the past seven Years.

Thanks; while the rent-a-mob of unemployed, unemployable parasites chants “No justice, no peace”, I have the same attitude as long as affirmative action is legal. My children shouldn’t miss out on opportunities because our government has decided that blacks and a couple of other groups are genetically inferior.

CPUSA via Leonard Greene weighs in.

HUSSEIN BARAKA has set back race relations in the USA to pre Civil War levels.

Trump just called that degenerate communist Sanders a communist.

CPUSA on borrowed time.

Obama has been on a one man crusade to increase racism in our nation.

Who wrote this propaganda?

I wonder if he wants to set up a Bully Pulpit and rent a mob like Sharpton and Jackson, receiving money for not rioting.

I think you nailed he——he can become a professional Race Warrior which is very lucrative.

Good call.

"His legacy will be that he harmed blacks worse than Jefferson Davis ever could."

Yes, and I'll wager you anything that Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee himself NEVER wished black people "harm".

Obama has hurt black Americans worse than even the worst racist that ever lived.
