I hope it's ok for the prez to show anger about racism now.

It would be nice if he felt he could finally speak truth to reality, in his second term.

What right did ANY of my fellow white folks have to be the arbiters of who is and is not allowed to speak out about injustice and bigotry in this country?

Whatever else happens, the president WE, the Rainbow(I'll count pale pink as a color in that spectrum for the sake of this OP)kept in office SHOULD be able to speak from the heart and the soul now.
