In a commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, President Barack Obama recalls Jim Crow laws and racism of the 40s and 50s. Morehouse College is a historically black college.
"Dr. King was just 15 years old when he enrolled here at Morehouse. He was an unknown, undersized, unassuming young freshman who lived at home with his parents. I think it’s fair to say he wasn’t the coolest kid on campus; for the suits he wore, his classmates called him 'Tweed.' But his education at Morehouse helped to forge the intellect, the soul force, the disciple and compassion that would transform America. It was here that he was introduced to the writings of Gandhi, and Thoreau, and the theory of civil disobedience. It was here that professors encouraged him to look past the world as it was and fight for the world as it should be," Obama will say, according to text provided by the White House.

Obama skipped the DNC's latest voter participation suppression: the IRS laws of 2012.
Add that to the DNC's party of the Confedracy, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, thier Fillibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Liberals control blacks by continually reminding of he past and convincing them that nothing has changed.

Dr. King apparently didn’t obtain sufficient academic training while at Maorehouse College, as he later committed blatant acts of plaigarism as part of his thesis for Boston U.

Nothing has changed. In the past, the Dems used the law — Jim Crow — to control the black vote. Now they use other laws to control the black vote. The Democratic Party always has been and always will be about race.

It’s starting. Deploying the nuclear defense against impeachment.. the specter of a race war. “Take ten!” as the 1960s black power racists used to shout.

Yeah, I know, Nixon's middle name was Millhouse, but I thought this photo fits.
Or did the person who took this photo do it as a photo ops or did Obama or his staff have them take this photo to stick it in the eye of Republicans, Conservatives ?
To: American Constitutionalist
It's amazing how many arrogant photos there are of this guy. If you Google "Bush arrogant" "Clinton arrogant" or "Reagan arrogant" not one photo pops up that looks arrogant. But type in "Obama arrogant" and the photos seem to be endless.

Lil Barry is just following the Community Organizer handbook.
“Keep em agitated”. “Fan the flames of resentment”. “Demonize the Crackers”.
He needs these young stupid college kids to think they are poor oppressed blacks, all downtrodden by the evil white man, to help keep him in power now that his tit is caught in the wringer. Probably not too hard to do since most if not all majored in things like "Black Studies", "Black Women Studies", Social Work 101, "Poor Oppressed Blackman Studies. and such. Once he gets his tit out, he will screw them just like the others.
