Obama urges Americans to be positive about race relations, saying 'We've got a foundation’ | Fox News
Ha! After he's spent eight years in office tearing them apart! What the hell? Why does he care now?
Still , Obama insisted that race relations in the United States have not reached a new low nor have regressed to the point of 1960’s rioting, as some have argued.
“That’s just not true,” said the president, speaking in Warsaw, Poland, at the end of his final NATO summit.
Obama also said that he has revived the task force formed after a white police officer fatally shot unarmed black teen Michael Brown two years ago in Ferguson, Mo., and that he’ll soon bring members to the White House. (The shooting resulted in weeks of violent and destructive protests.)
“As tough as last week was, we’ve got a foundation to build on,” said the president, who argued that violent crime in the U.S. has decreased over the “past five, 10, 15 years.”
