WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says Virginia's governor made "an unacceptable omission" when he proclaimed it Confederate History Month without mentioning slavery.
"I don't think you can understand the Confederacy and the Civil War unless you understand slavery," said Obama, the nation's first black president.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
Virginia left the Union when Lincoln called for 3 regiments of militia to be raised and used on the Confederacy.
The civil war was fought over states rights, not slavery.
NEVER stops playing the race card. POS.
“Obama is half-Kenyan and half-white. What does he know about slavery?”
Man, that’s gotta be tough. Wonder if he wants reparations from himself?
If a Dictator says something is unacceptable, you’re headed for big trouble.
That path isn’t in use yet, but it’s being paved.
Obama says that he grew up as an Oakland A’s fan. I doubt he watched much American baseball growing up in Indonesia.
He didn’t grow up in America. He only knows about this country second hand.
“I don’t think you can understand the Confederacy and the Civil War War of Northern Aggression unless you understand the issue of state’s rights.”
There, fixed it some more.
Don’t think this historical moron should be inecting his opinions in to anything having to do with history - particularly American History, a subject he possesses a
macroscopic ignorance of.
hehe
What does Obama know of slavery?
He knows how to create millions of them with a stroke of his pen.
Uh.......no......he plays whist his fellow radicals call the shots and make policy. The only thing missing when I see BO on the TV are the strings.
I’m surprised no one has said the “R” word yet...
just you wait, next in the pipeline...
REPARATIONS
And how to pay for those billions and billions in reparations, even though anyone currently living had NOTHING to do with slavery? Why, it will come out of your retirement accounts, pensions, 401K. Kiss goodbye to your family’s safety and security.
What would you say to someone who continually threatens your family’s safety and security?
Yo, Zero — Omission of “Radical Islam” from the NSA is far more reprehensible, dipsh*t.
I grew up an A’s fan and would like to quiz the little POS about what he really knows about them.
uh uh uh.
Same as the first 3 words out of his mouth when asked about his favorite White Sox.
He stuttered, and then came up with a roundabout talk about liking the Cubs too.
And then he sort of remembered the name of Comisky Park.
But on day one of the CAIR collaborated raid in Michigan and Ohio, the FBI was calling them “Christian” militias.
The Buttinski in Chief!
Obama is a racebaiter, no question about it.
“For certain you can’t understand Democrat Party history without understanding slavery.”
If only someone with enough clout, to even get a sound byte, would drive this point home every single time the Dems start their race baiting.
