Obama has distinguished his presidency by scarcely mentioning the problems of racism in the US–even (or especially) about the profligate murder of so many unarmed teens. CBS nightly news tonight reported the unemployment rate of Blacks is twice that of whites. Their next report was clips of Obama speaking today (probably to a bunch of rich white people) about the need for Black men to be more responsible as fathers–a theme he often harps on & a favorite of conservatives like Bill Cosby, a respectable father & serial rapist.
They’ve been spinning that tale for decades because it puts the onus for racism on the Black community &, in a backhanded way, justifies the violence against them.
