"I don’t believe it is possible to transcend……" — Barack Obama

I don’t believe it is possible to transcend race in this country.… - Barack Obama

"I don’t believe it is possible to transcend race in this country. Race is a factor in this society. The legacy of Jim Crow and slavery has not gone away. It is not an accident that African-Americans experience high crime rates, are poor, and have less wealth. It is a direct result of our racial history."

— Barack Obama
