Actually, it's always been easy for him. It was easy for him to to lie about "bringing Americans together," it was easy for him to lie about being a "post-racial president," all long enough to get himself elected. Thereafter, it was easy for him to say that Cambridge police sergeant James Crowley "acted stupidly," easy for him to say, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," easy for him to demagogue about Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, etc., etc. etc. He's spend the past six and a half years sewing racial division and hostility, which is most of why Americans are so pessimistic about the current state of race relations.
So when he says that it's gotten easier for him to talk about race, what he's really doing is bragging about how good he's gotten at inciting racial conflict:
Barack Obama said he’s spoken out more on racial issues during his second term because of events and being more adjusted to office - not because he’s run his final political campaign.
“That I don’t buy,” Obama said in a video interview with NPR News, when asked if addressing race was easier now that he will no longer face voters. “If, in my first term, Ferguson had flared up, as president of the United States, I would have been commenting on what was happening in Ferguson.”
Who says everything that comes out of that man's mouth is a lie?
And why was O bragging about his race-war incitement ability yesterday? You get one guess, and the other two don't count.
