Yeah I have to agree with you CC....those remarks do come off as inflammatory, though i sincerely doubt he had any intention of that being the case.
I think one large part of his comments are being ignored and really shouldnt be, simply because its the reality of things.

"As difficult and challenging as this whole episode has been for a lot of people, I don't want us to lose sight that things are getting better," the president concluded, making a reference to his daughters' generation.
"It doesn't mean we're in a post-racial society. It doesn't mean that racism is eliminated," he said. "But, you know, when I talk to Malia and Sasha and I listen to their friends and I see them interact, they're better than we are. They're better than we were on these issues. And that's true in every community that I've visited all across the country."

Things arent fixed...but they are so much better than they once were and they are moving in the right direction. That's the reality of the way change works. It takes time.
