Obama Hangs Racial Painting In White House

President Obama recently hung the Norman Rockwell painting "The Problem We All Live With" in the White House. The painting shows a young African-American girl receiving an escort from U.S. marshals into a New Orleans elementary school in 1960 as part of court-ordered integration, something many whites angrily objected to. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down with Michael Shure, political comedian Jimmy Dore and Jayar Jackson.

I don't see anything wrong with it. It was a turbulent time and an important part of American history.

Have you never heard of LA RAZA??? Or how George W. Bush pandered like crazy for the Hispanic vote?  Have you never heard of Cuban Americans and the GOP dedication to them? As for Asians, they are not a large enough group (like blacks and hispanics) NOR are they are powerful enough group (like JEWS) to garner that much attention.

@BlackRepublican2010 I have little idea what you are talking about.

@BlackRepublican2010 Who said the election of President Obama was supposed to mean healing our nation's racial wounds? To put that on the nations first black president is as much ignorantly racist at those who hate him for that reason alone. Based on our alternatives (McCain/Palin) the nation "will of the people" saw him as most qualified. That is the purpose for electing a president.

[BlackRepublican2010]

@SpazzyMcGee1337 But the election of President Obama was supposed to mean healing our nation's racial wounds. Blaming all your opponents criticism on racism, and actions like these, have set American race relations back 100 years under this regressive President.

@CronusRiley I didn't really mean to imply anyone thought it was racist; but as the video said, it's "strong". I'm not too familiar with the rest of the art in the White House; but I doubt anything else would match how, for lack of a better word, controversial a painting with the word "nigger" is.

I just figured that painting being hung in the White House would draw fire from several groups so I wanted to voice a little support.

@SpazzyMcGee1337 The title isn't suggesting a racist painting. It said racial(which it is).
