PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life as an African American you have to work twice as hard as anyone else if you want to get by.

And now he’s President of the USA, talking all this guff. Whether he realizes it or not, he is directly accountable to the Being that put him in that position more than any other human in the USA is so accountable.
How inspiring. The POTUS is giving college grads an excuse for failing. “You just wasted a couple of hundred grand because America is still racist.”
What a racist...
The other day he told that little girl in Baltimore “subtraction is hard.” Seems he’s not so good at percentages and fractions either because he’s clearly confusing “twice” with “half.”
His allegation is an insult to every American citizen.
That ass is getting by pretty well knowing and doing nothing.
Apparently you have to work twice as hard if you are a conservative.....
Obummer: “as an African American you have to work twice as hard as anyone else if you want to get by”
Hilarious, coming from a shiftless, lazy stooge like JugEars.
What is he doing speaking at a school that his daughters won’t be able to attend, no matter how hard they work or how well they do?
How tired can tired be? That statement was true when my grandfathers were young men, but by the end of the sixties, much had changed in America.
My father didn't have it nearly as tough as his dad did, and I experienced virtually no resistance to advancement in the workplace in my young adulthood, because of my race.
Obama is a shameless race pimp.
“(2) Blacks don’t have to work twice as hard. They’re landing all the do-nothing government jobs. Very few whites get these opportunities when black candidates are available. It doesn’t matter who’s more qualified.”
That’s right; they don’t have to do anything to get into college (except for “be black”). Our government’s policies, which are forced on businesses and educational institutions under threat of lawsuits, reinforce that outdated notion that blacks are inferior. I’ve never met blacks that are insulted by this; they accept it as a birthright.
Does 0bama claim to be an African-American?
Someone name one thing that Obama has actually had to work for in life?
Lighten up Barry! You big goof. You haven’t done a damn thing in your life and look at how well you’ve made out. I don’t have a mansion on the beach in Hawaii and I’m white. Give it a break and stop all the pissin’ and moanin’. It’s getting tired and old.
I don’t doubt that black people had to work harder in the past to be recognized or advance in careers, etc.
But, discrimination in employment and areas of public life has been illegal for almost 50 years now. Policies such as affirmative action have been ingrained in the public and private sectors for decades now. I question how correct it is, for someone in the year 2013 so say that “blacks have to work twice as hard”. That may have been true decades ago but not in recent years.
Obama spreading the hate again. He thrives on division and conflict. The more he sets Americans at one another, the more he prospers.
