October 15, 2022 - 19:03 BST Rebecca Lewis Former President Barack Obama has made a rare confession about raising his two daughters, admitting that he knows that if they were white boys their experiences would be very different.Speaking on the Pod Save America podcast, that aired exclusively on SiriusXM’s Progress channel, Barack shared that he wants them to feel that as they"move through the world that they are not having to put up with nonsense".
"I also think when we are talking about durable majorities we have to be able to speak to everyone about their common interests, and what works for everyone is the idea of basic equal treatment and fairness," he continued. "Then identity politics becomes the principal lens through which we view our various political challenges. To me, I think that for a lot of average folks, it ends up feeling like, 'You are not speaking to me or my kids' concerns, it feels like I am excluded rather than being brought in.'"
