Obama was also criticized for remaining silent by the families of a couple of white British tourists who were stripped, robbed, and shot by a young black man in Florida late in his presidency.
They were called "crackers" by their killer so it also had a racial element.
Of course Obama didn't have anything to gain politically by sticking his oar in this incident so..
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
