In an interview on CNN Wednesday, President Barack Obama reflected on racism he “absolutely” faced during his presidency.
“I think there’s a reason attitudes about my presidency among whites in northern states are very different from whites in southern states,” the president said to CNN’s Fareed Zakaria during “The Legacy of Barack Obama,” a documentary highlighting some of the most notable moments of his presidency.
“Are there folks whose primary concern about me has been that I seem foreign the other Are those who champion the birther movement feeding off of bias Absolutely,” Obama said.
