President Barack Obama delivered an impassioned plea to the African-American community Saturday night to help stop Donald Trump, saying he would consider it a “personal insult” to his legacy if black voters didn’t turn out for Hillary Clinton.

Addressing the Congressional Black Caucus gala for the last time as president, Obama warned that while his name would not be on the ballot in November, all of the progress that the country has made over the last eight years was on the line. […]

“You may have heard Hillary’s opponent in this election say that there’s never been a worse time to be a black person. I mean, he missed that whole civics lesson about slavery or Jim Crow,” Obama said. “But we’ve got a museum for him to visit, so he can tune in. We will educate him.” …

Oh they’ll back her, but not nearly in the numbers they backed him. And that’ll be one of the many reasons Trump will win. So prepare to be insulted, Hussein.

Maybe Jug ears can relate that to the BLM crowd.

Considering that Obama’s ancestors are probably the ones who enslaved the ancestors of most black people in this country, it is the epitome of irony that Obama feels they owe him something.

Don’t worry Bonzo. When America finally collapses in a year or so, we Americans will make sure that YOUR “LEGACY” is thoroughly covered in our history books, biatch.

That’s right. If like me you remember the original ‘Roots’ in some of the opening scenes, the muslim slave traders herding their brothers to the European boats wore costumes very similar to the native outfit Obama modeled, depicted here many times.He’s shucking black people, like his ancestors.

What progress?

And do racist black voters give a rip about an old white woman?

I have the feeling Barry’s appeal leaves them cold.

Maybe they should change her name on the ballot to “Hillary Hussein Obama”, that way the black voters will see her for what she is...which is a 3rd term of Obama and his America-hating policies.

We have Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, Eisenhower’s stirring final state of the Union, Reagan’s memorable Berlin speech, and now Obama’s ‘yo niggas’ speech.

Bingo!! But that does not count. Only “African-Americans” by definition cannot be racist. Are Egyptians “African -Americans? How about Tunisians, Moroccans, Algerians, Rhodesians, Nubians, Coptic Christians, Lybians , an all the rest of the inhabitants of Africa? Are they personna non gratta in that definition, or do they simply do not fit the current vernacular of the politically correct jargon?

I'm sure many blacks feel betrayed by Obama over the flames of division that he has fanned for the last 8 years.

Many who will go silently into that voting booth and vote for Trump.

Many ‘silent minorities’ will do the same.

What progress have Black citizens made under the rule of Obama.Clinton. They are much worse then they were eight years ago. Obama & Clinton have thrown them under the bus so many times, one cannot keep accurate track of how Obama/Clinton have screwed them. But, the real, hurtful screwing of African-Americans came from their very own Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and the NAACP!!!

His legacy will define him as the evil and traitorous "Benedict Arnold" who became president through deceit and treachery, and who did everything he could in his ill-gotten power to destroy this country.   His name will long live in infamy.

Imagine a lame duck white Republican President saying that it would be a personal insult to his legacy if white voters didn’t vote for his GOP successor. Let that sink in. The blatant racist double standard has been so long-standing that most people don’t even notice it anymore.
