Obama’s not one to pass up a golden opportunity to play the race card.

Via The Hill:

President Obama said Sunday that reported racial statements made by the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers were “incredibly offensive,” adding that the U.S. “continues to wrestle with a legacy of race and slavery and segregation.”

“I don’t think I have to interpret those statements for you; they kind of speak for themselves,” Obama said during a press conference with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak in Kuala Lumpur.

“When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance you don’t really have to do anything, you just let them talk. And that’s what happened here,” Obama added.
