We all know what he meant by revenge.
I have lived in predominantly (in fact, overwhelmingly) black urban areas. Towns where my children would have been less than 1 per cent of the non-black kids in the public school, had I been so foolish as to enroll them in any public school.
Here’s what I took away from the experience: some black people, like some white people, nurse grudges. Some exist in a state of perpetual grievance, and their lives are virtually BUILT on resentment. They inhale and exhale wrath, envy and grudge.
And some don’t.
Obama’s people are the ones he was addressing. They’re angry, mostly with secondhand anger.
These people may be black; and they may be white. It isn’t their skin, it’s their stupidity.
Reasonable thinking people come in all colors. Even unreasonable people usually have their priorities in basic order. God, family — even idiots get it, usually.
But Obama’s people are the small, envious, resentful wound lickers.
We may take him quite literally. They want “revenge” because they really think someone else started it, and they need to hurt somebody back.
As usual, Obama off-TOTUS is as sincere as it gets. No need to parse or sweat the hermeneutics. He said “revenge” because he’s talking to those who thirst for it.

Harry Reid is the prime example. States he will not work with Romney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
