America Urban Radio reporter April Ryan asked President Obama today about the state of black America today compared to before he took office six years ago. Obama said, “Like the rest of America, black America, in the aggregate, is better off now than it was when I came into office.”

He brought up America’s “troubled past” while acknowledging it’s “not an excuse for black folks.” But while many African-Americans work hard to provide for their families, “they’re starting behind, oftentimes, in the race.”
Obama touted economic progress in the black community and improved education stats among black youths, lamenting how race relations in the U.S. have been colored by the cases of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
