“There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president,” Obama said in the article by David Remnick, appearing in the magazine’s Jan. 27 edition.

“Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I’m a black president,” Obama said in his most direct comments on how race has affected his political standing since he’s been in office.


Seems like he addressed both sides of the coin. What's so awful about him saying that?

On the one hand, he's probably right. On the other, I'd rather him have said that he hoped race wouldn't be an issue.

Did he bring it up out of the blue, or was he asked specifically about race? I couldn't tell from what was written.

..What's so awful????? This President has done more to fan the flames of racial tension than any President in the last 50 years. He is a race baiter extraordinaire !!!!! He has the sack to make those comments??? History will judge this clown as just that ....a clown in way over his head. Black or White....this guy has been the WORST President in American history!!!!....and it ain't even close.

What's the point of saying it in the first place? Distract, distract, distract (from the real, important issues).

"Giving the benefit of the doubt" is not the same as "worshipping me as a messiah".
