Obama said Slavery and Jim Crow, and Media completely ignores it <<<< Elephant in the room

Listen to what's not being said. Before now, Obama would utter anything remotely regarding race he was pulling the race card. He said "Slavery and Jim Crow" and all they are concentrating on is "Crusades"

What a wise man, our President. I grow to respect him more and more everyday. Could have been a great teaching moment.
