Given how Marxist their “community leaders” are, it’s no wonder Obama is not fond of Churchill, who associated communism with squalor.

I've seen comments that they were leftist, but little actual evidence.

Do you have evidence that they were?

Barack Obama: Red Diaper Baby

Stanley and Marilyn Dunham moved from Kansas to Mercer Island, WA expressly so that young Stanley Ann could attend a school system that was led by a professed Communist.

I've always considered this fact a particularly telling one.

Obozo blew a great opportunity to help “his people” get on the right track by encouraging them to reject the destructive aspects of black culture. Only a black President could have done this, but instead he chose to encourage and reinforce that culture and black victimhood.

Here's what you have to understand about the Germans, they think they ought to be running the world, because they're more rational than any other people. I've pointed out that when the Germans/Europeans ran the world, they had two world wars in just the first half of the 20th century. Since the US started running the world in 1945, we've avoided a world war. Nevermind, the Germans would do better.

Second, their culture, media, everything is relentlessly socialist. This control is breaking down, like it is breaking down throughout Europe in the face of the reality of mass immigration from 3rd world / Muslim countries. We're now seeing anti-islamification demonstrations throughout Germany.

Third, Germans have a racial template about America. Everything published or broadcast about race in America must fit that template. This means, Germans have a fantasy view of race, race relations, racism etc, etc about America.

So, the most rational People on the planet, with their relentlessly socialist media, who've neither read nor heard anything outside of their American Race Template, feel no hesitation is telling us about race in our own country. Yup, that's the situation.

At no point did Barack sound like he would unify the country.

I note that Europe, where still regularly soccer fans taunt black players at games by making gorilla sounds and throwing bananas at black players, say that the US is racist. It’s to laugh.

The black folks are producing more children (and YOU are subsidizing that).

They WILL out number the whites in the future.

Blacks are now a shrinking percentage of the population (e.g., use to be 13%, now 12.3%). The reason is the exceedingly high rate of abortion of black babies.

The Bertelsmann media (leftist; look up their history) must insist on that remaining opaque to them. Agenda before facts, after all.

Obama is— IN LINE WITH contrary to his intentions—the president of a country that is more divided than ever before. And one of the deepest divisions runs between blacks and whites.

Fixed it.

Obama may have been raised by whites, but he wasn’t raised as a “white”. Things like work and education are alien to him, and in the end I suspect he gravitated towards blacks because they were the only ones listening. The teleprompter exposed his inadequacy early on, so most people around him simply went directly to the “power behind the throne” - whoever was typing the material for the teleprompter.

That’s a good point; he could have influenced their behavior (or tried to, or at least highlight the destructive impact of it), and instead he has only reinforced the notion to many blacks that it simply isn’t worth trying - the deck is stacked against them.

To the average white joe, it feels like the blacks are at war with the whites, not the other way round. It is the blacks that are attacking whites on the street. The perception may be wrong, but there is a perception that there is a higher proportion of blacks taking welfare, food stamps, subsidized housing, medical care and child care “entitlements.” These benefits are dole from the pockets of the average white working joe (among others,) taking from his disposable income to support his own family. Rather than “white guilt,” I think there is some middle class white anger beginning to seeth as a result of black violence and protest.

I don’t see blacks outnumbering whites any time soon; welfare reform (which ended additional cash for additional kids) has seriously hurt their birthrate (after the outcry in 1996 that they weren’t breeding for money). Their birthrate isn’t much higher than whites at this point (which is very low - much lower than is being publicized).

In my area black neighborhoods are encircled by “buffer zones” of Hispanics; I believe THEY will outnumber whites in this country very quickly (because of both a higher birthrate and a constant flow of reinforcements).

The race is Negro. The culture is African-American. Black is a political agenda that emerged post MLK as exploiters like Jesse Jackson played on the emotions of their people and short circuited the assimilation process. Jim Crow with “separate but equal” was replaced with “Black Pride” that fed on resentment and ignorance. Instead of striving to succeed, natural-born American Negros were taught success through victimization as a part of their character. The result has been cynically exploited on the Democrat Party plantation where the politicians have doled out “trinkets” (Obamaphones) in exchange for loyalty and votes. The situation has reached critical mass now as Obama has pushed the situation to the next level by his imperial assertion of power through Executive Orders. We are in the midst of a Constitutional crisis as a result. Obama’s legacy will be ugly.

That’s what happens when you vote for someone solely on their skin color.

Many blacks that have moved up into the middle and upper middlecalss still have the getto in thier blood and are whipped into falling back by the urchins of race and the phrase “you forgot where you come from” uppity black. These are the people that should be front and center scolding these thugs and thier racebaiter plantation owners

The black population of America had high hopes for “their” president.

Roughly 12% of the US populace.
What about the other 78%?

And the other 10% beyond that too :)

Really? Per the media, I've gotten the impression it's because white cops are offing them by the thousands, and that's why the percentage is shrinking. /s
