White Conservative Male Pundits To Nation: Racism Is Over, Stop Talking About It

Senior Editor, Breaking News, HuffPost

President Barack Obama shared his thoughts on a set of complex issues on Friday, weighing in on Trayvon Martin's death, the recent acquittal of George Zimmerman and the nation's broader history of race and racial bias.

White conservative male pundits were quick to blast the president's off-the-cuff remarks, suggesting that they were focused on a non-existent issue.

Below, a collection of conservative white dudes happy to declare that racism is dead:

Oh please Mr. president - race had nothing to do w/what happened in Sanford & we have less racism today than at any point in our history

Obama's comments today justify what I said on Hannity earlier this week. He truly is trying to tear our country apart.
