President Obama recently touted his record of “solving issues of racial inequality” on NBC News:
“One of the things that I’ve consistently said as president is that I’m the president of all people. I am very proud that my presidency can help to galvanize and mobilize America on behalf of issues of racial disparity and racial injustice.”Appearing on “The Sean Hannity Show,” Sheriff David Clarke responded that the president must be “hallucinating” and argued that Obama has simply contributed to a “false narrative” of racism by police against African-Americans:
“Race relations have always been tenuous in America. Slavery and discrimination have left an ugly scar on the soul of America. But that scar has been healing over the years.
President Obama came along with sandpaper, rubbed it raw and then poured salt in it to inflame race for political gain. He doesn’t believe that and neither does anybody else.”So, who is right? Have race relations improved under President Obama?
During his 2008 campaign, Obama was slammed by then-opponent Hillary Clinton for calling his grandmother (who is white) a “typical white person” who has fears about black men.
In 2010, the Obama Administration came under fire for dropping federal voter intimidation charges against members of the New Black Panther party who stalked the entrance to a voting station in Philadelphia.
And the list continues on.
Sheriff Clarke also accused the president of starting a “war on police” by politicizing acts of violence against African-Americans, while remaining relatively silent on the murder of police officers.
In fact, a New York Times/CBS News poll conducted earlier this year shows that nearly six in ten Americans think race relations are generally bad, and four of ten think they are getting worse.
