President Obama was at a disadvantage in tackling right-wing white nationalist terrorism because his race made him appear worse to the public.

I think something that is kind of fascinating about that is that Obama was at a disadvantage while trying to kind of... Tackle this stuff. He would appear so much worse than if it was a white president saying, we need to follow up on these people. It would have certainly got way more backlash. Because it's like, oh look, see? It's a black president who's going after people like that. He's trying to kill Whitey. Yeah, yeah, exactly. He's more at a disadvantage in trying to tackle right-wing white nationalist terrorism because he's black.
