President Obama talked with the local television station of Chicago, his adopted city, as part of “Obama’s Live from the White House.” The President spoke about the racial problems in the U.S., taking advantage of the episode of a group of young African-American beaten by a group of whites who posted a video with their misdeeds on Facebook; Obama called the episode “regrettable” and emphasized the plight of hate crimes that are now more visible thanks to the development of social networks and social media. The President also spoke of the high crime rate in Chicago, in contrast with the national average, claiming the initiatives that led back to his community during his presidency.
