Psssst... I gotta secret
Don't tell anyone, but the President of the United States of America is a BLACK MAN!!!!!!

He has gone through shit and put up with crap that you can only imagine and maintained a smile on his face. Those experiences have made him the man that he is today. Those experiences have not crippled him, but made him the STRONG Black Man. The man that YOU voted for.

So white America, there will be times when he will say and do things that might make you feel uncomfortable. He is a BLACK MAN who has gone through some shit and may have a different perspective about that shit than mainstream America. There will be times when you may wish he didn't go there, but it is coming from a place of love.

This BLACK MAN went to go the NAACP convention and put BLACK deadbeat fathers BLACK dropouts, and the BLACK COMMUNITY on BLAST! Black America took it, because we know that there are some things that are fucked up in our community that only we can resolve.

When a crippled, old Black Man is arrested on his porch for being mouthy to a cop, he calls those actions stupid, you'll lose your damn minds.

America, particularly so-call Progressives, "Man the hell UP!!!!!!!"

1. It's not like he volunteered his opinion or waded into this on his own
he was ASKED on national television by a reporter at a live press conference.

He had every right to respond honestly with his gut.

47. Agreed and I also think the reporter should have stuck with
the topic of the press conference. There would have been other times to ask that question.

6. You ARE mad
The President isn't black, he's the quintessential everyman.

Racial tensions were abolished with the Civil Rights Act, remember?

15. Wait. President Obama is black???
Edited on Thu Jul-23-09 10:07 PM by liberalmuse
I just thought he was using a slightly darker and less orangey spray tan than Bohner. And Professor Gates should be grateful he isn't a 80 year old woman, because he would have been tased instead of merely arrested. I don't know how anyone can defend a cop arresting someone for trying to get into their own home.

My god, no wonder I'm starting to watch stuff like, 'Tori and Dean' instead of the news these days. That shit is high quality compared to being subjected grown men hyperventilating and needing smelling salts just before crapping their depends every time President Obama expresses an honest opinion. I'm so goddamned sick of it.

29. Lynn Sweet thought she set the President up..as if.
Tweety is a bit of a racist, has always been that way since I started watching him 6 years ago. He thinks he stands for the white, working class type. He just acts like a stereotype at times.

34. Do any of them care about actual reporting? Its all a game of gotcha.
Its been this way for a long time but has only gotten worse over the years.

Being a political junkie I read all sorts of books on politics but "What it Takes" by Richard Ben Cramer about the 1988 primaries and general election is awesome. Its one big study on how the press plays "gotcha". I read that recently and I was never the same...the way the press went after our current VP and even Gary Hart was disgusting. The thing is, they are blatant about it twenty years later. Its just getting worse and worse.

28. Angee this reminds me of a scene from the movie Malcolm X
It's after Malcolm's trip to Mecca and he's holding a press conference I think. One of the white reporters asks him a question (I forget what the question was) and Malcolm answered it honestly, to which the reporter said "So you are STILL A RACIST!!!"

30. Barack can't be something that he isn't
and that is everything to everybody. His been through some life battles, that he will probably never discuss with anybody but his wife. But those battles will make him empathic to different situations.

48. It's a catch22 isn't it?
If he didn't answer the question then the media would say Obama was avoiding the question. He answered the question and still they complain.

The reason that that is such a reaction is because we are talking about a topic that makes Americans as a whole uncomfortable. It has to be talked about and it has to be dealt with.

I think some folks have forgotten that perhaps Obama knows what the hell he's talking about SINCE HE WENT TO HARVARD himself....but it's not so much that he knows what he's talking about, as it is that he actually WENT THERE and SAID SOMETHING.
