I just read the quote you're referring to and in no way is it wrong whatsoever, below is the full speech. Obama's own father was absent and it's a statistical fact that black children have the highest rates of single-parent households.Not only is this not racist, it's kind of beautiful and makes me miss Obama's cogent wisdom.

Equating this to Trump's brain dead bigotry is completely off base. I think you might be the victim of a misquoting of some sort
You're not wrong. I said the same thing and even posted about it on KMC: I agree with Obama.
But people got butthurt over it and called it racist. But that lasted about a day or two. 😐
It would be similar to an Italian American president saying, "Italian Fathers: Stop beating your wives and kids." It's a problem within the Italian American community. But I don't think people would get butthurt about it and call it racist if an Italian American president said that.
