WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is prescribing time and vigilance to tackle problems as entrenched in American society as racism and bias.
He also is urging patience, saying progress usually comes in small steps.
In an interview with BET, the president described his conversation with a group of young civil rights activists, including a leader of protests in Ferguson, Missouri, he hosted last week in the Oval Office.
Obama said he told them that "this is something that is deeply rooted in our society, it's deeply rooted in our history."
America has made gains, and that "gives us hope" of making more progress, he said.
"We can't equate what is happening now to what was happening 50 years ago," Obama said, "and if you talk to your parents, grandparents, uncles, they'll tell you that things are better, not good in some places, but better."
Obama said he is advising young people to be persistent because "typically progress is in steps, it's in increments.

President Obama is correct - but none of us will ever live long enough to see it end. I can't even imagine how it can or will end. Will it ever end before humans become extinct?

Racism? What racism?
Good lord.. There is still some left in the US that actually give a shit what Obama thinks or says. Simply amazing he has any support left for anything.

Er....
About the same as Bush, isn't it?
Internationally, look at the difference. No matter how bad Obama is, he presents a MUCH better image than Bush ever did.
And then to show you that, yes, it is actually just Republicans who don't listen to Obama and hate him.
But it also shows just how polarized the US is. People will support the guy in charge of their team no matter what.
Big business love this, it allows the to be ignored, it allows them to do what they like.
And you're playing your part by simply hating any Democratic president and loving any Republican president.

Even more, now that our first black President made it worse.
You're exactly right! Obama is a more racist than any other President in recent times. He's a race-baiter and a divider. America's first black President has become America's worst President.

Or maybe having a president who is actually willing to deal with the issues isn't something you like, so you accuse him of being what he's fighting against and hey, you think you've done your job.

What difference does it make if you're a Republican or not? You've managed to ignore the whole post and trying to deflect by saying you're not a Republican.
The WHILE POINT is that Obama isn't hated by everyone, he's supported by Democrats, he's supported internationally far more than Bush ever was.
That's THE POINT that you either missed or deliberately tried to pass off. Would you care to comment on the point now? Or just another waste of time deflection?

Yep, only a fucking idiot would claim that Obama hasn't made things WORSE.
Pitiful to, that could have been his legacy to finally END the racism.
I mean seriously. how much good could he have done if ONE time he would have stood up in the White House and said " Look , in THIS instance, the black man was wrong to claim racism?"
And NO ONE is truly stupid enough to believe that in 6 years Obama simply hasn't seen an instance of black man claiming racism where none existed.
If that's true the GOP should be working hard to end racism. I wonder why they aren't?

I see no value in commenting re: Bush. Bush is OBE, and OBAMA is still upright and consuming O2 as POTUS and he is a wrecking ball on the American way. That's why Obama has killed the Democratic party and will force them back to the right

They are you just don't know who is the true party that is perpetuating racism. Racism doesn't end because someone gets a handout. It ends when people are measured by the content of their character. THAT is what Republicans do, that is NOT a Democrat thing. Mention welfare reform and what does the Democrat scream? Racism? Why? Most on welfare are white. They do it because they think so very little of blacks. They do it because the democrats use people for their political fodder. Blacks are nothing but political tools to Democrats it is demostrated every single day. Obama? He is as much black as I am. Hardly anything in his life is that of the black experience. But the democrats can use him, they can say, see we are not racists we have a black friend.
No my friend, it is one thing to expect people to live their lives AS THEY WISH treating people fairly it is quite another to do as the democrats and treat people as their their subjects.
Some of you ignorant hardcore racists need a good bath. Here's the soap...
