And by Americans he means white people.

Via WaPo:

President Obama on Sunday summoned the graduates of historically black Morehouse College to “transform the way we think about manhood,” urging the young men to avoid the temptation to make excuses and to take responsibility for their families and their communities.

Delivering a commencement address at the all-male private liberal arts college in Atlanta, Obama spoke in deeply personal terms about the “special obligation” he feels as a black man to help those left behind.

“There but for the grace of God, I might be in their shoes,” Obama said. “I might have been in prison. I might have been unemployed. I might not have been able to support a family — and that motivates me.”

The president also reflected on the absence of his father growing up, noting that he was raised by a “heroic single mother” and urged the young graduates not to shrink from their family responsibilities. [...]

Obama added, “Laws and hearts and minds have been changed to the point where someone who looks just like you can somehow come to serve as president of these United States.”

Yet Obama acknowledged that “the bitter legacies of slavery and segregation” have not vanished, that discrimination still exists.

“As Morehouse men, many of you know what it’s like to be an outsider, to be marginalized, to feel the sting of discrimination. That’s an experience that a lot of Americans share,” Obama said.

Hispanic Americans, Obama lamented, are told to “go back” home while strangers pass judgment on the parenting skills of gay men and lesbians or stare at Muslim Americans with suspicion.

What an F'n asshole. Mexican Mexicans are being told to go back home, not Americans. Blacks are the ones that pushed the law against gay marriage in CA over the top. Not Conservatives. muslims are looked at with suspicion because they shoot or blow up people up in this country.

pimpin' the race card is all he's got.

Damn right.

Why can't he just come right out and say it? He can hardly hide his dislike for white people and is hell bent on trying to make them as miserable as he can.

Obama: Americans Still Racist Against Blacks, Hispanics, Gays, Muslims…

I wonder if that idiot can point to any country in the world that doesn't experience the same attitudes? The problem is that he can't. Along with a series of other political numbskulls, he is trying to create a utopia that only exists in his mind.

In his weak mind he has no concept of Romans feeding Christians to the lion's. Or the jews marched into German gass chambers. He thinks, The worst thing you can do is to tell an illegal to go home. Damn!
