Heres some real talk from President Barack Obama, taken from his conversations with Ta-Nehisi Coates at the Atlantic:
Im careful not to attribute any particular resistance or slight or opposition to race. But what I do believe is that if somebody didnt have a problem with their daddy being employed by the federal government, and didnt have a problem with the Tennessee Valley Authority electrifying certain communities, and didnt have a problem with the interstate highway system being built, and didnt have a problem with the GI Bill, and didnt have a problem with the [Federal Housing Administration] subsidizing the suburbanization of America, and that all helped you build wealth and create a middle class and then suddenly as soon as African Americans or Latinos are interested in availing themselves of those same mechanisms as ladders into the middle class, you now have a violent opposition to them then I think you at least have to ask yourself the question of how consistent you are, and whats different, and whats changed..
Obamas basic argument: If you didnt have a problem with big federal government services until black and brown people began clearly to benefit from them, maybe its time to rethink your biases.

Obama hates white people.
Obama hates America.
Obama only governs for black people and muslims.
I see courage in Trump. I see some conservative ideas. I see a successful builder. But I also see weaknesses in his character like his pandering to fools like Kanye, Romney, and Corker. These people have either attacked him or are fatally flawed themselves.
It’s almost over. Our long national nightmare is almost over
And we can see the promised land and it’s trump
Doesn’t get it and never will because he sees everything through the lens of his Strawman of the Day.
His first sentence is a lie
The rest of his statement is ridiculous
The son of Kenyan, Muslim, slave traders & illegal child traders, POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, has done more damage to African-Americans and their children, in the last eight years then all the “White” racists combined!!! And.....you can include the Congressional Black Caucus & The NAACP in his corner, abetting him!!! Sad!!!
The last I heard, President Elect Trump said obama was a nice guy... they talk often... How can anyone say that about obama? I cringed when Trump said it... and all of obama’s talk is so far from ‘nice’.. he’s an egotistical, condescending, hate filled, anti America, anti people, racist. And he’s anti Trump .... President Elect Trump just being nice? How about not saying anything rather than praising obama... who deserves NO praise.
He’s going to be a thorn in President Trump’s 8 years... and the anti Trump media will play everything he says. obama will double down when Trump’s Presidency brings back jobs and a better America for the people.. for the country.
Most blacks have been reduced to livestock by the free sh!t; Otoken shouldn’t be asking what MORE the gubmint can do for them, but what they can do for themselves. Sadly, not much; the gubmint now gives their children two out of three meals each day, the free lunch program is continued in some areas throughout the summer, and there is no expectation that a black parent (not just fathers) will do a damned thing for their children.
Silly you, it is not possible for blacks or Hispanics or other oppressed groups to be racist.
0government has served black people so well that there more in poverty and out of work in more than 70 years. The infrastructure of the inner city is continuing to decay. The violence of black on black is epidemic. This doesn’t even scratch the destruction of the family unit and the genocide of Planned Parenthood.
Oh yes the 0government has served them well.
Isn’t he gone yet? On Jan. 20 our eight-year national nightmare will be over, thank our gracious God. Every patriot’s house should fly the flag and after Pres. Trump is sworn in, church bells should ring from sea to shining sea.
That’s my fear. He will never shut up.
It served black people? When? I think most of them would not agree.
0bama needs to learn to distinguish between a "hand up" and a "hand out".
Infrastructure is government’s job...housing and food are not.
sadly, it didn’t serve Black People at all. Under Obama the Black community suffered. It would have been better if Obama gave a few benifits to the Black Community after they helped put him in office—No, he turned his back on them as he did Rev. Wright. Might have been better if he kept better ties to his community. Yes, but he didn’t want to oppose the MSM or his backers. Sad Really.
