He has said in the past how he is going to correct these things.
Why does he have to keep repeating himself every time so that a sheeplike liberal will understand even though there is no way they would vote for him without direct party permission
Yeah, why repeat himself every time when he can repeat the words "sad" and "bad" all the time.
There are ways to make yourself look intelligent.
He says "that our educational system stinks, it's absolutely horrible, our educational system"
He felt the need to repeat education system, to use two words almost synonymously, but didn't make any further comment. Someone who wants to be taken seriously wouldn't keep repeating himself with simple words continuously.
If he's have said "black people are suffering because we have a poor educational system, and directing the educational system towards the needs of the people" would have sounded like a President, he doesn't need to repeat himself over and over, but he uses a variety of words, makes a claim, backs it up.
The way Obama speaks is different. He wanted to talk about hope. It's a theme he's used throughout his presidency, and something I'm beginning to see as one of the most important factors in people's lives. Everyone's looking for hope, when that fails then things become ugly.
The problem doesn't seem to be what Obama was saying, but how the media guy presented it. He took Obama saying that the police do good as positive, then hammered him for talking about centuries of discrimination. As if this discrimination should be brushed under the carpet. It is a problem and it needs to be addressed, but the media guy doesn't want it to be.
The media guy says bring up Jim Crow etc gives the haters an excuse. Sorry, but that excuse has existed for hundreds of years. They don't need Obama to give them excuses, the excuses are all around them, the discrimination, the way blacks have been treated after official discrimination has disappeared, the way the poor have been kept down (and blacks have a high percentage of poor for obvious reasons based on a history that has kept them down.)
The media guy says we have to put grievances behind us. But that's not going to happen until black people and other minorities stop feeling like the powers that be are against them. And the powers that be are often against them.
Trump has hit part of the problem. Jobs. Poor people suffer the most under economic recession. They suffer the most from war (that costs loads of money and sends the poor to die and be maimed), they suffer the most from the education system being shocking.
The problem is that Trump doesn't have the answers. He will say that they need crap manufacturing jobs back in the US so poor people can remain poor and do uneducated jobs. Rather than beef up education and change the jobs in the US so they're relevant to the modern world.
The media guy is talking about "bad behavior", as if protesting against the problems is "bad behavior". The media guy is talking to those white people, telling white people that this all shouldn't be happening and that black people should go back to their hovel and stop complaining and get on with life. Instead of looking at the PROBLEMS, which both Obama and Trump have actually hit on.
The media guy talks about never letting mass discrimination happen again. But it's always happened, and unless things CHANGE then it will never change. But he's talking as if mass discrimination isn't happening right now. He's ignoring stuff.
The media guy says Obama dwells on the problem rather than the solution. I'd agree. Trump has done the same thing.
However what Obama is doing is trying to tell people where the problem lies. If you don't acknowledge the real problems, how can you deal with them? Trump and Obama are coming at them from different angles. Trump is dealing with the problems of why black people are where they are. Education, jobs, opportunities. Obama is dealing with them from the sense that education, jobs and opportunities are poor for black people BECAUSE OF the bias, the discrimination that exists institutionally within these systems.
The media guy comes out with "white people have been the subject of bigotry as well". So ******* what? This has nothing to do with this situation right now. It's not white people feeling like they've been discriminated against. It's black people. But he's trying to pander to those people who want to be the victim so they can tell black people to go back to their hovels.
Basically the media guy is being worse than anyone else, the one stirring up the hatred. Obama and Trump don't say very much at all.
