Obama: It was 'naive' to expect a 'post-racial' America

President Obama on Friday said it was “naive” to have thought a “post-racial America” would be revealed following his time in the Oval Office as the first black president.

“I think any talk of it being a post-racial America after my election was never realistic,” Obama told NBC reporter Lester Holt, adding that the hope was in line with the country’s pride in him for climbing to the highest office in the land in 2008.
