Obama Tells Indian Leaders White Americans Are Racist Recently, President Obama made a controversial statement while meeting with Indian leaders. According to recent reports, Weasel Zippers claims that Obama said: There were moments in my life where Ive been treated differently because of the color of my skin. There have been times where my faith has at times been questioned by people who dont know me, or theyve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing. What do you think of Obamas statement? Should he be playing the race card to earn favoritism among world leaders? Are his claims of discrimination a cop-out for the fact that hes never answered questions about his true identity? Tell us what you think!
