Obama isn't telling people to kill whitey, he's telling people to direct their energy at fixing some of the underlying societal problems that led to this situation.
By acknowledging these issues, Obama can difuse things and hopefully avoid riots and other civil unrest. A lot of the time anger is about not being acknowledged.

Obama should keep his mouth shut and respect the judicial system, and encourage this already divided country to do the same.
