Most Racially Divisive President Ever Says America Hasn't Overcome Legacy of Slavery

 Obama went on to say that he has never had to bite his tongue as President, but he has pondered how to deliver certain messages "diplomatically" and "in a way that it’s received”:

    So there have been very few instances where I’ve said, “Well, that was racist, you are racist.” There have been times where I’ve said, “You know, you might not have taken into account the ongoing legacy of racism in why we have so many black men incarcerated. And since I know that you believe in the Constitution and believe in justice and believe in liberty, how about if we try this?”

The notion that Obama believes in the Constitution, which he has described as a flawed, living document, is laughable -- as is the notion that "so many black men" are incarcerated because they are victims of racism. How about if we try this, President Obama: acknowledging that those men are in prison because they were convicted of crimes?

    Now, some might say, well, you’re not speaking fully truth to power because of that diplomacy. But I don’t think that trying to appeal to the better angels of our nature, as Lincoln put it, is somehow compromised. There may be times where you just have to call things out and name names.

I just want that asshole to simply disappear off the radar screens. Just f'n go away, Barry. Go back to whatever shithole you crawled out of.

Eight years of your laziness, your pomposity, your tyranny is quite enough.

Go do the duffle bag drag. GTFO of my White House.
