Obama uses “thug” even though he’s only half-black
I don’t make the news I just report it. From the NY Post:
President Obama on Tuesday urged Americans to “do some soul-searching” and work harder to end what he called the “slow-rolling crisis” of deaths of black men at the hands of police officers as he addressed the riots in Baltimore.

So what is that conversation in the black community?
Alex Wagner, by the way, according to her bio is zero percent black.
all I can add to this is
