President Obama address NAACP, calls for prison reform(45:49) President Obama said the nation can no longer "close their eyes" to racial inequality in the criminal justice system as he called for reform during a speech to the NAACP's 106th National Convention on Tuesday. (WhiteHouse.gov)
There's this thing people sometimes say down South.
So-and-so is "acting brand new." Sometimes that's a reference to people behaving like they don't know old friends and family that they have evolved past their old crowd. Sometimes that's Southern-speak for the emboldened, people behaving like they either don't know the rules or have outright decided to disregard them.
In the past four weeks, we've seen President Obama take up residence in a place that sits somewhere in-between.
He's spoken off the cuff about race relations on a widely circulated podcast (even using the n-word) and then eloquently followed that with what can only be described as a sermon on race relations in America before breaking into song. He's challenged America to go deeper in its support of equality than retiring symbols of slavery (such as the Confederate flag) and impolitic words (such as the n-word).
Still, this Obama didn't do what he has so many times before. He didn't lecture black America about its behavior while making only passing mention of some of the social and economic conditions that solid research not just political ideology tells us has at least helped to foster inequality. He gave a full airing to his sense that there is a need for wholesale policy reforms. And he stayed completely clear of the politically expedient and at times outright popular act of saying that young black men should do something about the way some wear their pants or how they speak.

Worried? I knew what kind of man he was day one. If you didn’t know what a racist scumbag he was you are not much of a judge of human nature or hopelessly naive.

Teach them to obey the law. Problem solved.

If you had manufactured a person to become president, with the sole goal of being a person that I (me, fhayek), would hate, could not have come up with a person that I would hate more than I hate Barack H. Obama.

Free Republic has covered this issue before.
"Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab."
Read
this:
"Warren G. Harding was the first President of the United States to have direct negro ancestry.
Thanks to Harding's glorious trailblazing in 1920, the current pretender to the same title, Barak Hussein Obama Jr., is eighty-eight years too late.
Genealogical evidence has revealed that the impostering "first black president" Barak Hussein Obama is6.5% Negro and 48% Arabic,
the remainder 45% Caucasian.
Why imposter ?
Because Obama is simply not the nation's first Negro President, the simple fact is that he is not Negro.
Barak Hussein is several times more Arabic by genetic percentages."
The
Arab-
Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama II,
(a.k.a. Barry Soetoro), ( the one
guilty of TREASON ! ) has
NO legitimate Social Security Number.
His father was NOT an immigrant to the United States.
Barack Obama Sr. was a "Transient Alien" because he did NOT intend on residing in the United States permanently.
Barack Obama Sr. was a dual citizen of Great Britain and Kenya, and NEVER a United States Citizen.
His mother could NOT impart U.S. citizen to her son, Barack Obama II,
because she did NOT meet the legal requirements to do so,
at the time
her son was born IN the Coast Provincial General Hospital, MOMBASA, KENYA at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961.
Democrats knew this and tried to eliminate the "Natural Born Citizen" requirement at least 8 times BEFORE Obama won his election in 2008.
Obama is NOT a United States Citizen, and is NOT a LEGAL IMMIGRANT.
He has no VISA allowing him into this country.
Barack Hussein Obama II IS ILLEGAL !
He should be IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY, tried for TREASON, SENTENCED to death,
and then have his body deported back to Kenya.
Here are some articles to assist in defining
"WHO" and
"WHAT" Obama
IS.
But I disagree.
No.
CORRECTION: Barack Obama,
the first black Arab-American -Kenyan pResident of the United States.

God forbid he should even hint that people ought to behave decently. That would not be “fearless.” (For a real thrill, read the comments from his white followers . . . )

The first thing I ever know bout him, was that he was a democrat, and from Chicago.
I told a friend that that was a very bad combination and nothing good would come from him being elected. Turns out I was right.

I have NEVER heard that expression before.
Apparently Obama is acting brand new and has a brand new expression.

He may have a little “black” blood in his veins but he sure as hell isn’t a president. He’s a dictator.

The black president some worried about has arrived I saw through this Klown the first time I heard words emitted from his gaping maw. He "arrived" years ago, if anyone had the sense to notice.
