Barack Obama has been sharing more insight into life with his family while promoting his newest memoir, A Promised Land. In a new cover story for People, the former president revealed that his daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama, both participated in racial justice demonstrations earlier this year.

According to President Obama, they "felt the need to participate" in the nationwide protests that took place following the unjust murders of Black Americans including George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, and wanted to be part of the resounding call for justice.

"I didn't have to give them a lot of advice because they had a very clear sense of what was right and what was wrong and [of] their own agency and the power of their voice and the need to participate," he said of his daughters. "Malia and Sasha found their own ways to get involved with the demonstrations and activism that you saw with young people this summer, without any prompting from Michelle and myself, on their own initiative."

He continued, "They didn't do it in a way where they were looking for limelight. They were very much in organizer mode," adding, "I could not have been prouder of them."

The former president also shared that though his girls, who are now both in college, have seemingly inherited a bit of his organizing spirit, he doesn't envision them branching out into politics in the near future but rather sees them being "active citizens."

The half black Obama is a racist, and raised his stand-in daughters to be blatantly racist, as well.

“Am i wrong or do most radical extremist come from well to do families.”

I think an inordinate percentage of extremists do come from well off families.

Something about not having to earn their way in life, or live in the real world, warps their worldview.

I really doubt if they participated in a BLM riot. There would be camera videos all over the internet. Plus I would hope that their parents wouldn’t allow it.

I never trust anything BO says.

News networks are pushing Obama as if he’s still President......because they can’t push Biden for obvious reasons...thus public perception is Obama’s still significant.

I was fairly certain I saw one of those beotches tossing a Molotov cocktail which was caught on tape at a “peaceful” DC rally a few months back.

There were some clueless blacks who were non-violent protestors at these events. Unfortunately, they were the minority.
