Speaking at a "black" college Obama said that race relations have improved. Fact though is race divisions have got worse. A 2015 survey revealed that race relations were better when Reagan and Bush were presidents. Strange. Considering the fact that Republicans are believed to be racist.
Thoughts?
Unlike bigots like Doggy, you had to actually listen to what Obama was speaking of:

"Obama continued to remark on the huge changes he himself has witnessed. "A lot of folks didn't even think Blacks had the tools to be a quarterback," he said. "When I was a graduate, the main Black hero on TV was Mr. T." But today, he said, "We're producers, studio executives. We're no longer small-business owners, we're CEOs. We're mayors, representatives," to which someone in the crowd proudly yelled back, "President!"
Obama continued to say that the new issues face their generation, such as disease and conflict worldwide, new challenges from terrorism and climate change. "America needs you to gladly, happily take up that work ... so enjoy the party, because you're going to be busy," Obama, who was awarded an honorary doctor of science degree during the commencement, said. "So make no mistake Class of 2016. You've got plenty of work to do." "
He never said it was perfect, just that it was better. Unfortunately, if it was left to the bigots we would still have slavery.
