YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFormer President Obama is claiming right-wing media outlets of profiting by stoking “fear and resentment” among white people toward a “changing America” — pointing to national pushback on critical race theory as an example.
The 44th commander-in-chief told Anderson Cooper in a CNN special Monday that many race problems are a reflection of the US not having “fully reconciled with our history.”
He said it was “hard for the majority” of white Americans “to recognize you can be proud of this country and its traditions and its history and our forefathers and yet, it is also true that this terrible stuff happened.”
“The vestiges of that linger and continue,” Obama said.
The Democrat said that his political opponents would often “not only block that story but try to exploit it for their own political gain.”
