Mere weeks after telling the NAACP that blacks need to stop blaming racism for inattentive and absent fathers, disintegrating families and kids that can’t compete with Asians, Obama undermined it all. He looked backward when he had the chance to “re-set” the issue.
I think you’re misreading why he said those things. He wasn’t having a conservative epiphany, he was defending his bona-fides with another important interest group: the feminists. That was generic male bashing wrapped in racial paper.
The feminists are still pissed at him over Hillary, and he’s gone far further out on limbs to give them what they want than any other interest group. Among other things, he’s by far the most radically pro-abortion president in history, but he’s pretty much letting them have his way on everything that he can.
It’s the price of doing business. Chicago.
