Defending President Obama against Accusations of Failure - 1 of 10: The Racism Debate

I once asked for 'evidence' of Obama's wrongdoing, and was given the link you see.
As I expected, the 'evidence' was more of the unfounded accusing I've seen before; but it looks like people are 'rallying behind it' (like the thoughts are from some 'Holy Writ'), so I'll address the accusations one-at-a-time. And I welcome any 'evidence' (okay, "links"; but hopefully linking to some factual statistics) against my defenses here.
Accusation 1: President Obama failed to "Heal Our Racial Divisions."
Defense: That's not even the President's job. If any individual is a racist, became one, or became more-racist during Obama's term it's entirely the individual's fault (perhaps encouraged, but NOT BY OBAMA!)
We are so over with being impressed by this president.

Agreed, but some of the absurd things he's said and done could increase racism. Do you remember his "If I had a son, he might have looked like Trayvon" statement? I'm quite sure that came out before all of the facts were out. And what about the clock-bomb kid? Was he really invited to the White House? This kind of nonsense can increase racial division.

@tomford Respect the Office. All kids should get to see the President speak, and then have the opinions of both sides presented in an objective and non-biased fashion. Indoctrination should be be a part of public schools, right or left.

Okay 1. and 8. Are complete bu--- Oh right, people elected him obviously expecting a God, now are upset to learn that he's just a mortal man. Like I'm sorry, it's not aa President's job to combt individual cases of racism. If a person can't overcome the racism they experience in this day and age. That's on them. Move somewhere else, meet new people. Dagnabbit, I'm an anti-social geek writhing with bitter cynicism and I'm aware that the world is far bigger than this smal pocket of the world people cling to that hasn't grown from the 60s. Also Russia resurging dictatorship? What dictatorship? Putin's just made several dumb mistakes, he ain't looking to be a dictator. If anything Obama's mistake was helping Putin avoid looking like an idiot. But I ask you, is Obama seriously the only world leader who has Putin's ear?
And then there's 10.... Human stupidity never ceases to amaze me...
