It’s easy to understand why he’s suddenly decided to promote such rhetoric - he did speak about colour but **in a more toned-down manner.
If we read Leftists’ own assessment of Obama, they readily call him a historic President with an unhistoric presidency, calling him a pragmatist and consequentialist etc who could not get things done because of gridlock due to Congress - in short, not much to boast for. The few books I’ve read assessing his presidency focus on these points, but this is not really history-in-the-making material. So, Obama’s constant white bashing allows him to rewrite his own presidency - easier to blame makeup racists instead of your incompetence. His last book is a shame - haven’t read it but leafed through it.
