'Pet peeve of mine: People who have been successful and don't realize they've been lucky.'

Speaking at the Howard University graduation ceremony in Washington, D.C., President Obama told the graduates of the historically black college to "be confident in your heritage. Be confident in your blackness."

Obama also criticized people who are "successful and don’t realize they've been lucky."

“Obama also criticized people who are “successful and don’t realize they’ve been lucky.”

In Obama’s case, it’s absolutely true. The timing and ethnicity of his birth made him everything he is. Like being born into a royal family, or a Rockefeller or a Kennedy.

Both Bey (who wears blonde hairpieces) and Bo (who had a nose job) are halfness—not blackness—

I admire T. E. Lawrence and a friend of mine once pointed out that he was a homosexual. My response was that I admired him for what he had accomplished, not his sexual proclivities. To today’s Democrats, not only is being black or gay enough, in their society it’s all you’ll ever be. It really shouldn’t be a vocation. My sex and race are fortuities of my birth and when I am gone, I hope my life amounted to something more than that.

blackness ...also criticized people who are “successful and don’t realize they’ve been lucky.”
This message brings to you another
“You d’dent bield that” smack from dear cheer leader misleader.
In promotion of promoting,
It’s all about me us mus
it’s all about I, I
wanna to talk about number 1
Oh my me mine..
News Flash:
Luck is 90+% knowledge, skills, ability and get up and go.

I don’t think so. The Obama’s are staying in DC for a while. You know damn well he won’t know enough to shut his mouth.

[Trod Upon]

It’s not luck. It’s IQ and work ethic.

Be confident in your whiteness.

After all, we all know skin color is everything...it is what makes us human and holds all our thought, preferences, rights, talent and intelligence and our souls, too./s/

[SaraJohnson]

I knew you were a bigot, you Christian, you!

[lightman]

Hey, Obammy....

[hal ogen]

Is this degenerate narcissistic a** “proud” of his whiteness? Is he proud that his purported black father abandoned him and that he was raised by white commies?

[Trillian]

He hates his half whiteness so much.

[GOPJ]

"be confident in your heritage. Be confident in your blackness."

Chuck Todd and Chris Matthews would get the vapors if Trump went to an historically white college and said, " "be confident in your heritage. Be confident in your whiteness."

[Vision]

Obama is so racist no one criticizes him on it. It’s pathetic. No it’s evil. Well I will.

[Crucial]

So Obama is really engaging in Transference when he says many successful people are successful because of luck. Liberals do that a lot.

[Baynative]

That is the photo equivalent of ipecac.

[Lazamataz]

I’m of the opinion that the Weakly Substandard should be banned from Free Republic. Bill Kristol is the editor, and he is such a liberal establishment republican that I won’t ever read their shit again.
