President Barack Obama teared up watching "Lee Daniels' The Butler," a celluloid depiction of the US civil rights battle as seen by an African-American who served in the White House.
"I teared up just thinking about not just the butlers who have worked here in the White House, but an entire generation of people who were talented and skilled, but because of Jim Crow, because of discrimination, there was only so far they could go," Obama said in an interview with radio host Tom Joyner.
"And yet, with dignity and tenacity, they got up and worked every single day," said Obama, the first African-American US president, noting that those who were discriminated against put up with a lot "because they hoped for something better for their kids."

I cried too because it was too damned long.
.
I bet the reason was because he was pulling out nose hairs, this resident has not had an honest emotion in his entire life.
Just read a blurb in the local paper that a theater owner refuses to show the movie because that traitor plays First Lady Nancy Reagan.
He’s simply a homo.
A racially mixed Muslim opportunist who is always stoking the racial fire to keep this country in chaos.
The girlie man strikes again.
Talk about the world's worst butler (to add to his other world's worst titles)... He'd botch the spittoon cleaning detail.
Hurl is right. If Blacks were “held down”, how did this man become a butler in the WH?
Obama should learn the story of Madame CJ Walker, born as Sarah Breedlove on December 23, 1867 near Delta, Louisiana. She picked cotton, but started a hair and cosmetic company at her kitchen table. That humble start grew into a empire. At her death on May 25, 1919, she was worth over a million dollars. Oh, by-the-way, she was Black. I encourage everyone to look her up. She’s a real inspiration. God bless her.
How about tearing up for the 88 year old veteran and the innocent Australian visitor killed for no other reason than they where White, yet racist you and your racist AG won’t even comment.
How about tears where they belong? In the present?
I honestly don’t think Obama tears up over anything at all.
Well, maybe not getting his way.
Oh, my. The Bushes are so sensitive to blacks...so down with the struggle. It seems they displayed the appropriate degree of white guilt to appease whomever was concerned.
I used to like that old broad. Live and learn.
He’s the first HALF Black American president. And he really is AFRICAN American. But I’m not too sure about the “American” part.
F him .... and Hanoi Jane
Funny I bet he didn’t “tear up” when he was watching Benghazie Live. FUBO!!!
O wait he will tear up if he is separated from Reggie though
Such a racist hatemonger.
The Bush women also approve of it when black and white American women kill their babies in the womb. Like you, I used to admire them... now I see them for their true selves.
At least they waited until the poor guy was dead to drop this slop on his head.
