Obama Says If He Had A Son Who Stabbed Someone In The Heart With A Knife, He Would Look Just Like Karmelo Anthony

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As racial tensions continued to rise in the wake of the verdict handed down in the Austin Metcalf murder trial, a somber former President Barack Obama said if he had a son who stabbed someone in the heart with a knife, he would look just like Karmelo Anthony.

Obama made the solemn statement as part of a press release in which he bemoaned the lingering racial disharmony that exploded during his presidency, clearly exemplified by the horrific stabbing of Metcalf at the hands of Anthony last spring. According to the former president, if he had a murderous son, he and Anthony would bear more than a passing resemblance.

"If I had a boy of my own, he'd be stabbing whiteys, too," Obama said in the statement. "To see this young man, Karmelo Anthony, being tried, convicted, and sentenced for perpetrating the same type of horrific act I would raise any son of mine to commit, it really brings the racial divide in this nation into clear view."

The 44th president went on to reminisce about the role he and his administration played in the country's current social predicament over the course of his two terms. "It is indeed sad to see where we are as a people," he continued. "We clearly have a long way to go to heal the deep racial wounds that permeate our populace, the ones that white people are entirely to blame for."

At publishing time, Obama had assured the American people that he would continue to work as hard as he always had at stirring up further racial conflict.

What’s this world coming to when we don’t allow good black-on-white violence?

Isn’t there a saying about “sticking the knife in and twisting it”?

The Babylon Bee may have just done that to Obama.

I will say though, it appears the daughters turned out fairly normal, all things considered. Hopefully they will stay out of politics, and just live a more or less normal life.

Obama would also say: “This is not who we are” - while calling Karmelo Anthony a “fine young man” and strongly objecting to the 35 year verdict he got for stabbing Austin Metcalf dead, claiming “justice was not served.”

He’s right, Karmelo should have been hung!

“””Obama would also say: “This is not who we are” -”””


Oh the good old days, how I miss this remark from Obama as he read his script on the teleprompter.

Next, we have Biden who was unable to read his script on the teleprompter.

Now, we have Trump who gives more impromptu speeches than reading his script on the teleprompter.

So, this racist piece of garbage is OK with murder, so long as the murderer looks like his kids. Yeah, skin color, you ‘tard.

My favorite quote ever from Trump:

“If Obama quit now, he’d be doing himself and the country a great favor!”

Trump also pointed out a number of times that he, unlike Obama, would not read from a teleprompter, but speak for 90 minutes straight from the heart, which Trump does to this day.

Obama, without his teleprompter, would stutter, hesitate, speak haltingly - before he was pulled off the stage or the teleprompter rolled out.

You’re right. Does this means we should have “a conversation about race”?
