President Barack Obama on Saturday lectured Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta about his country's gay rights record.
"When you start treating people differently not because of any harm they are doing to anybody, but because they are different, that's the path whereby freedoms begin to erode," Obama said at a joint press conference with the Kenyan leader in Nairobi. "And bad things happen."
Under Kenyan law, sexual activity between men is illegal and punishable with a maximum imprisonment of 14 years.
Obama equated legalized discrimination of gays to legalized racism in America.
"And when a government gets in a habit of people treating people differently, those habits can spread," Obama continued. "As an African-American, I am painfully aware of what happens when people are treated differently under the law."

Did they toss him as they promised?
“As an African-American, I am painfully aware of what happens when people are treated differently under the law.”
pfffftttt.... spit..
What a depraved, despicable, embarrassment to the USA.
? they get to be President??
OH MY....I can’t post what I’m thinking, I’ll get kicked off here....(zipping mouth shut, binding fingers)
They get elected president???
Or lock him up as their law requires?
As an American-American, I’m painfully aware that Bathhouse Barry is an ignorant, arrogant jackass.
Obama is truly an embarrassment.
Obama is angry b/c all the Kenyan bath hoses have been shuttered.
They should lock him up and tell the world that Kenya is a nation of laws.
Obama was warned not to do this so he, of course, doubled down. A wonderful fantasy would be for a country like this to immediate declare him persona non grata and escort him to his plane to be expelled.
I had heard that some Kenyans were going to show up naked to give Obama an anatomy lesson. Did that happen?
Diplomatic immunity, unfortunately.
That’ll go over well I’m sure.....
On this subject yesterday, a FReeper used the term, “Cultural Imperialism”.
Do the Kenyans have a PC euphemism to refer to homosexuals?
When *people* in the USA are treated differently under the law is when they cry “RACISM” any and every time they are criticized for ANYTHING.
I hope the Kenyan replied in kind. The other Kenyan.
