President Barack Obama says it’s going to take time and vigilance to tackle problems as “deeply rooted” as racism and bias.
He says gains have been made, and that gives hope for more progress. Obama is advising young people to be persistent because he says progress usually comes in steps.
The president says in an interview with BET that he’s advising young Americans to be “steady” and not give up “when you don’t get all the way there.”
Obama met with youth civil rights activists at the White House last week. He says he told them that as painful as some recent incidents have been, “we can’t equate” what’s happening now with what was happening 50 years ago.
The full interview is set to air this Monday night.

This buffoon continues to make rocks look intelligent. He is one of the greatest proponents of racial bias. And he’s complaining? If he undertook a taanis dibur, we might just have a chance.
Based on recent events, it appears the most effective way to combat racism would be to convince African Americans to refrain from criminal activities or resisting arrest. Glorifying petty criminals is what he should stop doing.
hopefully, by then, that idiot will long be gone from the white house
He will not stop until white skinned Americans are openly subservient to all non-white skinned Americans, which is utterly ridiculous. He and the agenda he follows is the problem. Americans today are not slaves or slave owners anymore!
He is advising young Americans to be steady and don’t give up. Doesn’t it sound like incitement.
How much longer do we have to hear from this nutcase?? 2 more yrs?? Ugh!!!! I can’t take it anymore
we are in need of another beer summit.
