‘We have, by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism’
America is still struggling to overcome its "legacies of slavery, Jim Crow, colonialism, and racism," President Obama told Comedy Central Monday night. Appearing on "The Daily Show," Obama was asked about how he speaks to crowds about race. How does he "skirt that line between speaking your mind and sharing your true opinions on race whilst, at the same time, not being seen to alienate some of the people you are talking to," host Trevor Noah asked. "You know, my general theory is that, if I was clear in my own mind about who I was, comfortable in my own skin, and had clarity about the way in which race continues to be this powerful factor in so many elements of our lives," Obama said. "But that it is not the only factor in so many aspects of our lives, that we have, by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism, but that the progress we've made has been real and extraordinary, if I'm communicating my genuine belief that those who are not subject to racism can sometimes have blind spots or lack of appreciation of what it feels to be on the receiving end of that, but that doesn't mean that they're not open to learning and caring about equality and justice and that I can win them over because there is goodness in the majority of people."

“When Barky and his ilk figure that out, then we can start to repair the divide that exists in this country today.”
The slave doesn’t dream of freedom; he dreams of becoming a master.
It is that which has prevented improvement in race relations. Blacks are not interested in equality and the end of racism; they want their turn on top.
Obama is a divisive disgusting pig and I thank God he is being thrown out on his rump.
Obama is now free to say what he really thinks. He’s just another Liberal with a racial chip on his shoulder.
At least we know Obama hasn’t. He’s like a rich white kid. A bitter clinger to his white stereotypes and left-wing ideology.
In other words, Whitey needs to pay more despite Democrat Jim Crowe laws being repealed, despite a Civil War that killed hundreds of thousands of people, despite affirmative action that takes jobs away from whites and makes it harder for whites to get promoted, despite the fact that hate crime laws are used usually only against whites, despite the fact that black on white violent crime is much, much more common than the reverse, despite ruining of traditionally white neighborhoods due to black crime.
AFTER Obama gets elected TWICE by white America, he turns on whitey and makes race relations in our country FAR WORSE.
We will silence Jim Crow for good. Obama himself was a perpetrator of Jim Crow.
Obama can eff off. It will be several generations before we have another “minority” president, thanks to Obama.And thats a shame.
Obama could have represented all Americans, instead he defined a false down trodden series of communities across the nation, and then stuck it to every institution we have in unAmerican ways, including state and local police.
Then Obama had the unmitigated treason to then use health care and the IRS, and Muslim immigration as means of liberal fascist social engineering? Eff him, the dust bin / crapper of history awaits Obama, wherein he can go, to compost for eternity, taking his now caterwauling supporters with him.
Oh do the Obama crowd ever feel the pain of rejection by America! They are still in denial.
Good riddance to all of them, for good!
Make America GREAT again!
What an @$$
150 years ago the states ratified the 13th amendment to the constitution officially ending slavery. That is roughly 6 generations ago. Responsibility surely accrues to the descendants of those freed slaves to have availed themselves of of the bounty and opportunity present in the United States of America and become integrated and successful in its society.
My ancestors arrived here in the early 20th century from Italy and proceeded to set to work making themselves productive and Americans. Foundry workers and produce jobbers. Soldiers during WW1, WW2, Korea,and Vietnam. Home owners, community members not community organizers.
Mom would always say there is no disgrace in honest work no matter the job. Work was expected not optional.
All was not roses and all were not angels but you had your family. There was right and wrong and very little grey.
Time that they look inward for answers to their plight and quit blaming others.
He kept his own people slaves for the last eight years no jobs no hope only welfare and BS.
Obama will take Jesse Jackson’s mantle as chief race baiter after he’s finished as potus. He will be Jackson on steroids.
The only colonies we ever had we acquired from Spain in the war. They were negligible compared to the English, Dutch, Portugese, France and etc.
Coming from the most racist President ever to sit in the White House.
His actions, once in office, reveal who he really is.
He has pandered to those who attack law enforcement. He has demanded that no one enforce our immigration laws, and demanded that we allow those who wish to harm our Republic, free entrance across our borders. He refuses to ever criticize Islam, but continually denigrates our country's Judah Christian beliefs. And he has brought the Muslim Brotherhood into the highest levels of the US government, and has gutted our military and weakened it significantly.
Wikileaks has revealed how deeply the socialist have infiltrated the institutions of the US, and how nefarious and evil their actions have been. They now scream “Fake News” and Russian collusion to deflect from their defeat.
True to form, the socialist have always accused the Republicans and Conservatives of exactly what they are guilty of, in order to muddy the water and confuse the American electorate.
They are the ones who have created and pushed "Fake News" for decades. They are the ones with socialist sympathies and ties. They are the ones who have fooled the American Public and wish us harm. They are the ones who bow to socialist and Islamic dictators.
People didn't vote for Obama because he is Socialist. They voted for him, because they had been fed a continual stream of "Fake News" about him and his promises of "Hope and Change". Their mask of Socialism and Communism slipped once too often, for them to fool the American public again. It worked the first time in 2008, again in 2012, but not in 2016.
They felt so confident that the MSM would continue the cover up of their evil, that Hilary would be unanimously elected. They failed to see that the American Electorate had been forgotten, the American Electorate's moral base had been attacked once too often, and the MSM is no longer trusted as the gatekeeper of truth.
They scream "Hacking", but what they are bat crazy about, is that the truth about them has been revealed to the American Public. The truth about the collusion between the MSM and their Socialist Democrat machine is on display for all to see. So they attack the messenger, and accuse the boogie man Russia, and say that Trump has not been elected fairly.
Even if they fail in the effort, the MSM will continually beat the drums of illegality, Russian hacking, and slander against Trump, for the foreseeable future.
They are ginning up, and doubling down, in an effort to once again fool those who believe in their MSM fake news stories about "Fake News".
They will never admit that they destroyed themselves, by pursuing what many feel is an immoral and evil agenda.
During the election cycle they may have realized how damaged Hillary was as a candidate. They followed the same old method of slandering all Republicans and Conservatives with the label of racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, Anti-Immigrant, and Sexist.
Now in an effort to keep their base in line, and deflect the anger at losing, they are lying not only to themselves but to the American public, about Hillary's devastating lose.
They want to cover up their evil acts against their own, and against the American public, and refocus their base on the enemy, the United States of America, our Republic.
This is one of the reasons Clinton lost so badly.
We have yet to overcome the legacy of the black greivance culture, black crime, leftist race pimps, and the worst president in U.S. History, but we`re working on it starting January 20th.
If you haven`t overcome the `legacy of slavery`, why do you expect the rest of us to? How did this bitter, self centered clown ever get the idea that he was some moral leader rather than just a cranky, whiney loser? From the left, who invented this empty suit and got him elected.
Jesu Christo— have we heard enough of this useless mack daddy poverty race pimp, who has lined his and his crony’s pockets with literally billions of “shovel ready” money that produced kickback donations to not only the demonrat party but also to the Clinton crime family foundation connex).
What utter narcissistic horse shiite. Hitler’s rant ended with “German people do not deserve to be saved— and they don’t deserve me”. You can hear this attitude reverberating through this asinine screed. Hitler, at least nominally, killed himself and his pervie girlfriend- a proper end to German National Socialism with a monstrous mental status and superego. This deconstructing America hating marxist a@@hole is not done re-writing his OWN history, to cover up the utter crap sandwich he has made. No, he must talk about himself- in a professorial “im the expert” tone, talking down to us..and apologize to the world once more. Jeez, are we not all sick to death of this?
So he returns to “form” to the playbook and, by so doing-states, apparently clueless, unequivocally how he has “FAILED” to fundamentally do anything, except rip off the Treasury for trillions of fiat money, and actually set race relations back 100 years. OK, obamaumao—we’re in now— the playing field has been “leveled” and still it is not enough (because, like LBJ and the “war on poverty” it cannot ever succeed as it would result in NOT needing your apparatchiks and machine thuggery). A public meltdown of the delusional idiot for the last 8 years.
“Jim Crow”?— please name how this is possible, obamaumao.
“Legacies(plural) of slavery”? again give examples that Pigford, the war on poverty, ACLU, NAACP and other subsidized social justice warriors have NOT removed—what “legacies”?
“Colonialism”? please, obamaumao— name the “colonies” that exist in the American Empire. What shiite.
“Racism”— oh yes- you are right about that obamaumao— you
rubbed salt into old healed wounds— to create
a new revived liberation theology black panther
legacy of white(and hispanic) hating domestic
terrorism. Right out of the COMINTERN playbook,
to divide and conquer (but, you will not- we
have your number on multiple levels).
So, now you’re going to stay around, you and your pocket lining pontificating marxist shiite. This will be your legacy, even as you “toot your toot” to whatever has-been “journalist” will listen to your crap. The revealing of what you have done will more than clear the reality up. It can’t happen soon enough.
Only people I see being enslaved are white Christian males.
Apologies, Freepers— don’t know what happened to the formatting of that post— odd paragraph formatting, etc.
the preview didn’t look like that.
