one of their means to get attention to the issues of significance that plague this nation that they have been unable to improve/change.

Race is a significant part of Obama's agenda...more so than any other administration. The reason is clear when one pursues the backgrounds of both Obamas, their aquaintences and their constant comparisons/references to people of color.

I have several non white friends who are absolutely shocked by this administrations constant focus on people of color.

How would the subject be recieved if a white POTUS continually talked about the needs and advancements of people NOT of color?

For the current administration it is nothing more than a voting block to keep in their camp....what ever it takes.
