Obama was fine but he wasn’t a saint. Criticism should be given when due.
Which is at an event commemorating MLK in a 80% black city?
Is the implication here that Barack Obama should escape criticism because he is Black? Because that doesn't exactly seem fair to me. Or would it have been fine if Sanders' criticism came while he was speaking in an 80% White city?
Obama's presidency was definitely a watershed moment for African-Americans and other racial minorities in this country, but if that makes him unsubject to criticism that has absolutely nothing to do with his race then we have to ask how far we really have come.
