What specific steps would Obama take to reduce racial discrimination

[Rex_Goodheart]

in this country?

What laws would he help pass? Which would he help to amend or repeal?

[FARAFIELD]

1. doesnt have to pass any

just has to get elected and do his thing, of course if he gets elected that will go along way toward healing the divide

[Blue_Roses]

2. well for starters...

listening and not just using a bunch of rhetoric to push the issue under the rug.

which he's already started on...more to come

3. Specific steps? Stop referring to "typical white people." nt

4. Funny you mentioned that

the other day the meme of the fascist hate radio shows was that Obama was born in '62. Since the civil rights and voting acts were passed in '64 & '65, Obama never had to deal with discrimination. See all discrimination ended on the days those laws were signed.
What to do? Use the bully pulpit to show that a person can be a good president no matter skin color or gender.
Actuall it may make the less pigmented presidents look bad. Especially the most recent.

6. LEAD. Be an example for others. That is all. n/t

7. Stop insinuating that every criticism of him is racially motivated.

That would be a good start.

11. Kinda like

How every critic of HRC is a "sexist"?

Why don't we ask about what Hillary would do within the subject of race? Or has she already made that clear by trying to scare white voters away from Obama?

8. Sad. Your question in this post here seems rather insincere

based on your refusal to read this article here:
