Odd how ones perceptions differ. Of course being white I'll never know struggle. Right? Of course since most folks born in the US have the "opportunity" to better their lives, this kinda rings hollow. Could I have done better? Yup. Could I have done worse? Yup. How many have risen above their humble beginnings and risen to success? I'd say a lot of folks. I don't know the numbers.

WE had “GOOD SOCIALIST/GLOBALIST” government.

Brown/black/negro had NOTHING to do with it.

(Fat chance getting another for the next decade or so.)

No ... he’s not an idiot. Nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is, but not an idiot. He knows what he’s doing. He’s lying, deceiving, dissembling in support of “The Revolution”.

There’s only one problem.

It wasn’t “good government”.

The aftermath of all the absurdly bad things that happened - the Iranian nuclear deal, the rise of ISIS, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, Obamacare, DACA, the abdication of ANY enforcement of the immigration laws, the encouragement of BLM riots in the wake of the Mike Brown shooting, it goes on and on and on. Did I forget groveling to dictators?

“Good Negro government”? What was good about it?

He was let off on so many things precisely because he was half African. The idiot McCain threw the election because he wanted the poor Negro to get a chance in life - after all, shouldn’t everyone have the opportunity to control the nuclear stockpile?

Simple answer: “Obama was not running. Hillary was”

They are trying to pretend that the race was Trump v Obama and not Trump v Hillary.

He’s partially right, I couldn’t stand Obama, but it was because he was an incompetent, socialist, America hating, communist ba$tard, who couldn’t pour piss from a boot if the instructions were written on the bottom.

Actually Barack Obama did such a BAD job of governing he has likely ensured that no other black man will get the opportunity to do so again for at least four or five decades.

Are we to ignore people’s minds and forget that a white Republican has more alliance with a black Republican than a white Republican has with another white person who is a Democrat? Weren’t the post civil war Blacks mostly Republicans?

Good government has no racial pigmentation color. Racial characteristics do not confer good judgment or talent in and of themselves, in fact, there is no correlation in any way, shape, form, or manner.

They ALL were up into the 1960s.

The only black senator for decades was the Massachusetts Republican Ed Brooke.

The modern Democrat party has been covering up their history for 6 decades now. The ONLY time that Democrats got a significant number of black votes prior the 1960's was during the Depression when welfare began to get passed out by the Roosevelt administration. Buying their vote was the way to get them to forget the past.

Didn't stop the Rat party from using Blue Dog votes to keep the Congress though.

How I wish the first black president had been a conservative Republican such as Herman Cain. Would like to see Allen West run as well. Man, that would drive the libs insane.
