And yes, he has caused more racial tension during his tenure as president since the civil rights movement, there is no doubt about that.........

Hearing that comment repeated on the news today, and undoubtedly around the world, one can only wonder how we managed to elect such a terrible excuse for a leader as President of this country.

Perhaps there is a reason - perhaps it's getting worse - perhaps fear is bringing it back to the fore.

My guess is that you didn't listen to the interview with him and only heard it mentioned on Right Wing Media. Which is why you're offended by it and why you don't even know the meaning behind him saying it.
But then again, that is always the side you're on and always the kind of misinformed comment that is expected from you so why this should be any different is no surprise.

Most "adult-oriented" news doesn't feature words that have the same emotional connotations as the F-bomb for some people.

How does Obama know so much about racism.
I've never heard/seen so much racial buzz until a black president became tyrant.. I mean leader, of the United States.
Isn't that ironic much? A black man gets into the white house and every year we get racial buzz words, media blitz, racial police incidents. .
How often is Obama in the public domain to know so much about the average racism. What DOES he witness?
He's a talking puppet, and racism is the new card of the 1%, who control him, to divide the USA more so.
Us was bought out a while ago. Founding fathers would give up and execute themselves had they seen what America has become.
Ironic? Don't you think it's a bit naive to think these issues weren't always going on? What you're witnessing in America is the addressing of inequalities that have existed for decades and centuries. You didn't see it because you're a straight white male, but objective people with a mind for equality have started acknowledging the power deficit that racial minorities, women, and gays have been subjected to because they didn't have the numbers or the power.
As far as addressing it now. .. society is coming along. And as far as the president addressing it, you just expect him to abandon his racial minority and say nothing. .. for what?

I never listen to Obama - never.
One cannot escape, however, him being paraded across the globe uttering the "NWORD."
He is a classless goat who shames our country with every utterance.
I expected this reply from you, so nannanannabooboo to you too!

Are you serious? He's a 53-year-old black man who has personally experienced racism most of his life. What do you mean? Racism isn't new, you know.
Even you just said he makes speeches when these things happen. You see, first some event happens and then he talks about it. That isn't causing them since the cause happens first. He's not causing Racial problems by talking about them after they occur. That is just a fact of how Cause and Effect happen. If the event didn't happen you wouldn't hear him speak about it. You see how that works???
