“Obama is another oppressor.” Those are not my words. Instead, they are the words of activist Julie Contreras, who “works with a group that runs shelters for undocumented children at the U.S./Mexico border.”
Contreras joined with other Hispanic immigrants who opposed renaming two Chicago-area schools after Barack and Michelle Obama. Yes, they wanted the names changed, but not from one oppressor to another.
The schools are currently named Thomas Jefferson Middle School and Daniel Webster Middle School, but since Jefferson owned slaves and Webster supported slavery, those names must go.
Unfortunately, the Obamas are tainted too. “I will not be part of renaming a school after someone who did not and does not represent the undocumented community,” said District 60 school board member Edgar Castellanos, who came to America undocumented as a child.
As expressed by Contreras, “From the time Barack Obama became president until 2017 when he left, he today is still the highest ranking president with deportations in our nation. We feel that Barack Obama did disservice to us. He denied us, and he didn't stop the deportations, the way he promised.”
She added, “If you're removing the name of Thomas Jefferson - one oppressor - the name of Obama is another oppressor and our families do not want to see that name.”

“It produces bigotry. It produces division. It produces a victim mentality.
“We’re seeing it today in the Democratic party. Joe Biden is now a racist. Nancy Pelosi is a racist. The party is reaping what it sowed. Everything is seen through the lens of identity politics.”
For the moment, Pelosi has maintained her power, albeit somewhat tenuously, and Biden has ascended to the presidency. But if Obama can become a dirty name, don’t expect these white political leaders to do much better.
That’s why I wrote in June 2020, shortly after leftist mobs turned on Jeff Bezos, “To all the wealthy, liberal elites who are cheering on the protests and riots, a word of warning is in order. The same holds true for the conservative Christians who are lining up to show their support for the BLM movement. To each of you I say: Do not be deceived. The cancel culture will soon be coming for you.” (The article was titled, “What Are You Going to Do When They Come for You?”)
In truth, this radical agenda is driven by a small, outspoken minority. And that means that the solution to the problem is simple. The rest of us – the overwhelming majority – must simply say “no” to the cultural madness. We must stand against the silencing and canceling and non-personing of others. We must create an environment where we can have our differences, publicly and loudly, without forcing others into submissive silence.
If we don’t, watch out. The pigs from Animal Farm will be shipping you off for slaughter soon enough. (For those not familiar with the book, the pigs were real pigs.)
Yeah, well the tyrants control the federal gestapos. Even the Dept of Education has swat teams. And the elections are fixed now. So what the people think don’t matter to the despotic idealogues in DC.
“works with a group that runs shelters for undocumented children at the U.S./Mexico border.”
Human trafficker?
“I will not be part of renaming a school after someone who did not and does not represent the undocumented community,”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Obama is a fraudulently documented foreigner, so he does represent the fraudulently documented foreigner community.
All the scriptural characteristics qualifying him to be THE Antichrist
...they are the words of activist Julie Contreras, who “works with a group that runs shelters for undocumented children at the U.S./Mexico border.”
He Could be,,,
Another example of the revolution eating it’s own.
The source of all this insanity is postmodernism (neo Marxism) , which has taken over universities and schools and that is now flooding society at large.
Marxism devided the world as either oppressor or oppressed, but he limited that oppression to economic classes. After that failed miserably Marxism was reinvented as neo Marxism where the oppressed and oppressor can be anybody and depending on the time of day the same person or group can be both.
So if you want to understand at a fundamental level what is driving all these dangerous delusions, get familiar with that.
Agreed,
