Barack Obama may have been complicit in letting the left believe that Trump and his supporters were a racist “basket of deplorables,” but this week he admitted that the characterization is not necessarily true.
Former President Obama told his supporters Monday that they shouldn’t immediately assume that someone who wants stricter enforcement of immigration laws is “automatically racist,” as he called for a new understanding and engagement in American political life.
Returning to the public stage for the first time since leaving office, Mr. Obama said his chief post-presidency goal will be to try to spark a resurgence of interest in politics and to push for an army of community organizers and leaders among young people.
[…]Asked by one young man about efforts to talk to illegal immigrants, Mr. Obama said both sides of the debate need to do more to understand each other.
“It’s important for those who support, as I do, immigration reform and pathways to citizenship for folks who are here, not to assume that everybody who has trouble with the current immigration system is automatically racist. That’s an example of us being able to listen,” he said.
But he said those who want to see current immigration laws enforced need to see the flow of people coming to the U.S. without permission as “families just looking for a better life for their children.”
“It’s not like everybody at Ellis Island had all their papers straight. The truth is the history of our immigration system has always been a little bit haphazard, a little bit loose,” he said.
But don’t give Obama too much credit. While he says that people that desire strict immigration laws are not “automatically racist,” he doesn’t say they’re not, either. They’ve got to keep that door open for future attacks against Trump, after all. And he’s indoctrinating the next generation of “community organizers” to keep the attacks going.

Go away and stay away, you$#%&!@*
Obama needs to GO!!!
Typical response Floyd. Name calling and reference to ones intelligence. Trump surprised me though after his first 100 days. He is even more clueless than thought. What a disaster of a president. He is an embarrassment to America and to our allies. I will work tirelessly to get rid of the stench that now resides in the whit house. Excuse me. Mara logo
Please, I do not want this picture any more!! I want to forget that this young, inexperienced community organizer once was my president and the strongest man in the world. I hope it was a nightmare I had. Please, not more obamas, no more…….let me forget!
F**K OBAMA, and his followers..
