Good For Obama!
"Democracy demands that we're able also to get inside the reality of people who are different than us so we can understand their point of view. Maybe we can change their minds, maybe they'll change ours. You can't do this if you just out of hand disregard what your opponent has to say from the start. And you can't do it if you insist that those who aren't like you because they are white or they are male, somehow there is no way they can understand what I'm feeling, that somehow they lack standing to speak on certain matters." Barack Obama, July 2018

It's a shame he couldn't have made that point while still president.
In all fairness, this sort of thing has gotten worse since he left office. So still, kudos to him for doing the right thing now, at least.
I disagree. He actively made it worse while he was in office.
