“But all the decent black people out there don’t deserve to be dismissed in a blanket statement.”
So very true. I often think if I were black, with a great family, career and living the dream, how furious I would be with my race. I would also be embarrassed with the performance of our first black president. He had a duty, and a responsibility to advance his race, by making sure everything he did would reflect positively. Instead, he became the typical black stereotype.
He really let black people down. A real leader would have conducted himself with an eye toward making people proud. But it was never about serving people for him - it was always him him him him. So instead of acting presidential, he embarrasses himself on the international stage, says things like “wee wee’d up” and makes a point of behaving unpresidential. Can’t really tell their children they hope they grow up to be just like the president, can they? But...but...he got a Nobel Prize!
