President Barack Obama urged Americans on Saturday not to see the country as being riven into opposing groups, seeking to soothe raw emotions after the attack that killed five policemen in Dallas and the high-profile police shootings of two black men in Minnesota and Louisiana.
"As painful as this week has been, I firmly believe that America is not as divided as some have suggested," Obama said at the start of a news conference during a trip to Poland.
Thursday's attack in Dallas by a black former U.S. Army reservist who expressed a desire to "kill white people" added a new layer to the emotional national debates over racial injustice and gun violence.
"We cannot let the actions of a few define all of us," Obama said, adding that he did not believe that the country was descending into the polarization seen in the 1960s.
"As tough, as hard, as depressing as the loss of life this week was, we've got a foundation to build on," he said.
Authorities have named Micah Johnson as the lone gunman in the Dallas attack, saying he had served in Afghanistan, embraced militant black nationalism, professed anger over police shootings and a desire to "kill white people, especially white officers."
"The demented individual who carried out those attacks in Dallas, he's no more representative of African-Americans than the shooter in Charleston was representative of white Americans or the shooter in Orlando or San Bernardino were representative of Muslim-Americans," Obama said, referring to a string of mass shootings in roughly the past year.
