To Obama Racism is just about Minor Inconveniences like trouble catching a cab - Not Vast Unequal Power or Ending White Power

From [HERE] Despite the heightened tensions over police killings of men of color in the US, showcase Black President Barack Obama claims that race relations have improved since he took office six years ago.

“I actually think that it’s probably in its day-to-day interactions less racially divided,” he told National Public Radio.

Comparing the race issue to six years ago, Obama said American race relations are on the upswing. The president said that he himself had experienced racial prejudice.

"There's no black male my age, who's a professional, who hasn't come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn't hand them their car keys," Obama said.

"The small irritations or indignities that we experience are nothing compared to what a previous generation experienced," President Obama said. "It's one thing for me to be mistaken for a waiter at a gala. It's another thing for my son to be mistaken for a robber and to be handcuffed, or worse, if he happens to be walking down the street and is dressed the way teenagers dress." [MORE] and [MORE]

This is wrong view which leads to wrong solutions or no solutions. This view, Obama's view is the Democratic Party's view. It is idiotic. These folks do nothing about white supremacy/racism. Selling you this viewpoint is selling you cooperation and submission to your own oppression.  Racism is about vast unequal power not simply disrespect, bigotry and inconveniences, such as stop & frisk, trouble catching a cab and standing in a long line to vote. Racism is about the superior, dominate position of whites and the institutions that maintain vast unequal power and resources in order to keep Blacks subordinate.[MOREand [MORE] 

As stated by Dr. Blynd "racism is a power group dynamic, i.e., a defined group cooperatively via legacy institutions exerting structured, systematic injustice and power over another group. Racism is not individualistic, but institutional, cultural, economic, political, linguistic, self perpetuating and systematic. Racism is economic discrimination by a group against another for the purpose of subjugation and/or maintaining the imbalance of power through cooperative control and oppression" [MORE]

What does racist/white supremacist society mean? Amos Wilson explains that, "it is about structuring social and political, economic circumstances, psychological and cultural circumstances such that one race can take advantage of another and one race can enhance itself at the expense of another. It has little to do with overt race hatred, or with negative racial attitudes or with the projection of racial stereotypes or with whites not understanding the nature of their racism. That's not it.

And when we define racism in terms of attitude you'll find yourself then solving the wrong problems. White people will stop expressing those negative attitudes, they will smile more readily at you, they will even marry you and go to bed with you but you will notice that the effects of racism, like poverty and all these other things caused by racism will continue. In fact the problems will increase.

Ultimately you must recognize that racism involves the power of one race to impose its will upon another. That ultimately then it is about power and we have to face that fact.  Whites engage in racism because they have the power to do so. And if we are to end white racism then we must end white power."
