Obama reminds black graduates that they are victims because of color in commencement speech
BicPac Review ^ | May 17, 2020 | Tom Tillison

Posted on 05/17/2020 10:18:16 AM PDT by kevcol

Obama told graduates, “You’re being asked to find your way in a world in the middle of a devastating pandemic and a terrible recession. The timing is not ideal. And let’s be honest: A disease like this just spotlights the underlying inequalities and extra burdens that black communities have historically had to deal with in this country. We see it in the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on our communities, just as we see it when a black man goes for a jog, and some folks feel like they can stop and question and shoot him if he doesn’t submit to their questioning.”

And the horrible leftists democrats continue to tell people they are victims to get them to vote for criminal democrats indefinitely.

We have a horrible political class in this society.

Says the person who grew up in Honolulu’s white country club settings with his mother the university professor and the grandfather the owner of one of the most exclusive furniture stores in the area and the grandmother as a vice president of the Bank of Hawaii. Beyond that, words just simply escape me about how he says stuff like this.

I am more and more convinced that Obama was a bureaucratic, deep-state puppet. As long has he followed their instructions on foreign wars and interventions, and Wall Street and the financial system - they allowed him his silly ideas on race and gender. In fact, they found them useful.

Interesting thing about Obama.

His father was Kenyan and his mother was American, yet, he's considered an American.

His Kenyan father was black but his American mother was white, but he's considered black.

Weird.

How many more years will we have affirmative action which mandates admissions, employment and promotions based on race rather than merit?

Obama has a right to say anything he wants, classless as it may be; however, I’m sick and tired of The Left screaming about how divisive President Trump is. They’ve all lost their minds.

This guy went to private schools, and was nurtured and encouraged throughout his career. His 1/2 black race propelled his career, instead of limiting it. He’s also been one of the most racially divisive office holders of modern times.

IIRC, this apparently was something of an issue early on in his candidacy for President. Given the background mentioned in my post (growing up in white country club settings in Hawaii), black supporters of Hillary thought he was not at all genuine concerning racial identity issues.
