Obama shared the advice to the young men as part of his “My Brother’s Keeper” program that is marshalling private and public resources to help more boys from minority groups succeed, a program that he views as an important part of his legacy.

Good for Mr. Obama. He has finally said something I agree with:

“You don’t have to act a certain way to be authentic. You just have to be who you are – and to go back to the values that you care about.”

Wonderful. Now the very best thing he could do is shut the hell up and go away. He is an embarrassment to both the black half of him and the white half of him. Or whatever mixture he is, if anyone really knows.

Obama can preach on this because he is not Negro ie. because he was sired in Indonesia and just born in Africa. Much history on all of this.

Hispanics consider themselves black. They revealed most emphatically during the 2012 election. Even Geraldo claimed he is black.

Conveniently, they are white for MSM but Hispanic for everything else.
