Obama reminds black graduates that they are victims because of color in commencement speech
BicPac Review ^ | May 17, 2020 | Tom Tillison

Obama told graduates, “You’re being asked to find your way in a world in the middle of a devastating pandemic and a terrible recession. The timing is not ideal. And let’s be honest: A disease like this just spotlights the underlying inequalities and extra burdens that black communities have historically had to deal with in this country. We see it in the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on our communities, just as we see it when a black man goes for a jog, and some folks feel like they can stop and question and shoot him if he doesn’t submit to their questioning.”

He'll always have that because despite the fact he held the highest office in the nation he still sees himself as a race victim...and his wife equally so.

Always bringing up the victimization dog call.
So tired of hearing this overt reverse racism be completely accepted.

How many of the graduates he was addressing, got into their college because of their skin color?

HEY...BARRY HUSSEIN...

Why didn’t you take care of all these problems while you were in the White House for eight years ? instead of GOLFING, VACATIONING, AND HAVING PARTIES FOR THE HOLLYWOOD GROUP THAT FOLLOWS YOU ?

BARRY HUSSEIN IS NOTHING BUT A LYING FRAUD..HE WILL NEVER CHANGE...
Maybe he needed a smoke and hit before he gave that so call speech...what ever...He is going to be PROFESSIONALLY AND TOTALLY DESTROYED...

HANG ON AMERICANS...

From the words of Malcolm X, even though there was a lot of racism, I came away with the opinion that he at least had a fair amount of intelligence. I don’t get that from Lord Baron I -I-I-I-I me-me-me-me What’s Her Name.

Strange. My final assignment in the Air Force was commander of an engineering unit. A full third of my people were Blacks. All were graduates of reputable schools. They all did good work, and I was able to get several of them awards for their performance. What is wrong with those complaining now? Why don't they shape up and make something of themselves, like my engineers did?

What a disease like this spotlights is that when public officials encourage minorities to blame others entirely for their plight, they completley undermine the idea that personal responsibility is necessary for so much in life, including survival.

I said this about John Podesta, now I see the same resemblance in Obama: He looks like a scolex. Look it up if you aren’t squeamish.

For the last 18 years of my career, I taught engineering subjects and programming in a private high school. We had all the cultures in our classes. Not one student ever flunked who slugged it out and did the work.

The biggest problem we had was incoming freshmen who couldn’t add two numbers without a calculator and couldn’t read 1/16” on a student ruler.

Race relations in the U.S.A. were heading in the right direction until this race baiting a-hole came to power.
Hey Obammy, F-you pal.
