For Cleveland suburbs, Shaker and Parma have little in common other than that, until recently, Democratic presidential candidates could count on their votes. But in 2016, Parma voted for Donald Trump, and Shaker didn’t. To Clevelanders, this split followed a certain logic. Shaker and Parma have long been of different tribes, though the same political party.

It was no accident that “Black Lies Matter” started under the administration of our first “black” president, and also that it started in the waning years of that administration; blacks could see clear as day that in the end they were left with burned neighborhoods and eight more years of immigrants coming in and leaving them behind at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder. They still pay lip service to him, but blacks will privately tell you he was a disaster for them - he ruled for the wealthy whites (including the gay lobby) that installed him.

Most any black will tell you Obama didn’t do nuffin for them, and that’s true. They worship him anyway, in a fit of doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

We need to make American blacks realize that voting is acting white.

You’re right. The worship comes from white, mostly female, leftists.

I dunno; while we were told white women were swooning over Obama, I’ve never met one who had anything positive to say about him (they couldn’t ignore his anti-white hatred). In the end, leftists of all stripes loved his positions (whatever his masters dictated) but nobody seemed to respect the man very much.

Did you see the SNL farewell to Obama? His image was projected to a screen and female cast members sang “To sir with love” to the image.

Yup. The value of the article is that it shows the best and brightest among the libs still wondering what happened and how they can make it go away. They are certain that there is a combination of secret knowledge, curses, and magic words that will put them back in power.

Their expectation was that he'd pay their rent and their gas bill each month.

This would have been in the early 50s. Penske and my cousin were both born in 37.

She married a guy from Britain whose parents sent him to the USA during WW2 to live with relatives because of the bombings of London and he stayed here.

Yeah, it is rather long in the tooth. Guess the writer got paid per word?

How creepy - he really was a dream for white libs. A weak puppet doing his masters’ bidding (while leaving his own people even worse off than before).

In the end, Obama will be remembered solely as the end of excuses (by people of all colors) - we had a “black” president, so what is your excuse now? Contrast that with all of the successful Asians, Hispanics, etc. - and we’ve never had one of them in the White House!
