In four minutes, President Barack Obama gave his daughters a living history lesson on the civil rights movement.
Obama paid tribute Saturday to civil rights legends sung and unsung by leading a symbolic march across an Alabama bridge where throngs who protested their lack of voting rights 50 years ago were beaten by police on what is known as "Bloody Sunday."

Obama is history for his daughters; historically the worst president ever!
I tried. I really tried. Today’s anniversary is important. So I tried to play a bit of his speech on tape. at first, the words sounded good. Then he broke into that irritating, preachifying way of speaking of his...with drawn out s’sss and too many pauses within a statement, the fake fake fake accent. I lasted 3 minutes. I couldn’t do it any more. I tried.
A history lesson - on the democrat Jim Crow laws?
The lesson is that we will never have another black president again, not even a half black one.
What is the "unfinished business"? Pull out your wallet. . .anything in it? There's the "unfinished business!!"
The lesson being just how sick Western Society has become. The West is totally unable to mount an effective resistance against Third World assaults.
“What? If my ancestors hadn’t sold slaves to the slave-traders and ship masters, Selma would never had happened? That sort of lesson?”
The labor demands of North America would have required that slaves be sourced from somewhere and the necessary transactions of supplying humans would have taken place.
Those who procured slaves not only elected to buy human beings and force them, their children, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, great great great grandchildren and so on perpetuated the act of selling human beings into slavery for hundreds of years.
Yeah, like I said. His ancestors (on both sides). Mine were Friends, they didn’t trade in slaves, as I’m sure you know.
Where do we go from here?
For one the US can forgive Al Sharpton’s tax debt - I’m sure he’d consider that a down payment on the miserable suffering he has had to endure. /s
I am sick to death of these people pushing their racism - and here Obama is using his daughters - Obama who, AFAIK, has only benefited from the color of his skin.
They’ll never let it go as long as they can use it for money and power.
How ridiculous is all this? Why was Bush there?
Since the race hustlers have taken over, it is political correctness not history.
They mean whitey still has a lot more money than we do, and WHY IS THAT???? Here we have a black president, and he doesn't have the guts to just take most of whitey's dough and give it us thieves er black citizens.
We elected a black president to even things up, and what do have to show for it?....they still expect us to work for a living? What's up with that?
That's what the race vultures mean by unfinished business.
By accident I heard a snippet of his speech on the radio news. Dang if he di’int get out his blackest accent. It sounded like Hillary’s “ah ain’t no ways tarrrd” speech. Really?? Do people buy that? He has zero african American background and he ain’t nevah talked like dat in his life. Black Americans give him a pass for sounding suddenly like Mammy out of Gone With The Wind??
For Jeb.
Obama should teach his daughters the unaltered truth of the party of slavery, the KKK, the segregation and abortion.
KKK, A Hundred Years of Terror
THE REAL HISTORY OF THE PARTY OF SLAVERY, THE KKK AND THE ABORTION OF BLACK BABIES
KKK Terrorist Arm of the Democratic Party
“Those who ignore history are damned to repeat it” George Santayana
An Open Letter to the Democratic Party (From Black Republican Woman)
Lincoln Heritage Institute ^ | 3-18-08 | Lt. Colonel Frances Rice,
“We, African American citizens of the United States, declare and assert:
Whereas in the early 1600’s 20 African men and women were landed in Virginia from a Dutch ship as slaves and from that tiny seed grew the poisoned fruit of plantation slavery which shaped the course of American development,
Whereas reconciliation and healing always begin with an apology and an effort to repay those who have been wronged,
Whereas the Democratic Party has never apologized for their horrific atrocities and racist practices committed against African Americans during the past two hundred years, nor for the residual impact that those atrocities and practices and current soft bigotry of low expectations are having on us today,
Whereas the Democratic Party fought to expand slavery and, after the Civil War, established Jim Crow Laws, Black Codes and other repressive legislation that were designed to disenfranchise African Americans,
Whereas the Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, and their primary goal was to intimidate and terrorize African American voters, Republicans who moved South to protect African Americans and any other whites who supported them,
Whereas, according to leading historians (both black and white), the horrific atrocities committed against African Americans during slavery and Reconstruction were financed, sponsored, and promoted by the Democratic Party and their Ku Klux Klan supporters,
Whereas from 1870 to 1930, in an effort to deny African Americans their civil rights and to keep African Americans from voting Republican, thousands of African Americans were shot, beaten, lynched, mutilated, and burned to death by Ku Klux Klan terrorists from the Democratic Party,
Whereas Democratic Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman rejected anti-lynching laws and efforts to establish a permanent Civil Rights Commission,
Whereas the Democratic party has used racist demagoguery to deceive African Americans about the history of the Republican Party that:
(a) started as the anti-slavery party in 1854,
(b) fought to free African Americans from slavery,
(c) designed Reconstruction, a ten-year period of unprecedented political power for African Americans,
(d) passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution granting African Americans freedom, citizenship, and the right to vote,
(e) passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875 granting African Americans protection from the Black Codes and prohibiting racial discrimination in public accommodations,
(f) passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 granting African Americans protection from the Jim Crow laws,
(g) established Affirmative Action programs to help African Americans proper with Republican President Richard Nixon’s 1969 Philadelphia Plan that set the first goals and timetables and his 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act that made Affirmative Action Programs the law of our nation, and
(h) never sponsored or launched a program, passed laws, or engaged in practices that resulted in the death of millions of African Americans,
Whereas Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka (a 1954 decision by Chief Justice Earl Warren who was appointed by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower) was a landmark civil rights case that was designed to overturn the racist practices that were established by the Democratic Party,
Whereas after Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt received the vote of African Americans, he banned African American newspapers from the military shortly after taking office because he was convinced the newspapers were communists,
Whereas Democratic President John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Law, opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and was later criticized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for ignoring civil rights issues.
Whereas Democratic President John F. Kennedy authorized the FBI (supervised by his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy) to investigate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on suspicion of being a communist,
Whereas Democratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, made a 14-hour filibuster speech in the Senate in June 1964 in an unsuccessful effort to block passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and was heralded in April 2004 by Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd as a senator who would have been a great leader during the Civil War, Whereas when the 1964 Civil Rights Act came up for vote, Senator Al Gore, Sr. and the rest of the Southern Democrats voted against the bill,
Whereas Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act as compared to 80 percent of Republicans, and in the Senate only 69 percent of the Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, compared to 82 percent of the Republicans,
Whereas Democratic President Bill Clinton sent troops to Europe to protect the citizens of Bosnia and Kosovo while allowing an estimated 800,000 black Rwandans to be massacred in Africa, vetoed the welfare reform law twice before signing it, and refused to comply with a court order to have shipping companies develop an Affirmative Action Plan,
Whereas Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore created harmful racial division when he falsely claimed that the 2000 presidential election was “stolen” from him and that African Americans in Florida were disenfranchised, even though a second recount of Florida votes by the “Miami Herald” and a consortium of major news organizations confirmed that he lost the election, and a ruling by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission declared that African Americans were not denied the right to vote,
Whereas the Democratic Party’s soft bigotry of low expectations and social promotions have consigned African Americans to economic bondage and created a culture of dependency on government social programs,
Whereas the Democratic Party’s use of deception and fear to block welfare reform, the faith-based initiative and school choice that would help African Americans prosper is consistent with the Democratic Party’s heritage of racism that included sanctioning of slavery and kukluxery, a perversion of moral sentiment among leaders of the Democratic Party whose racist legacy bode ill until this generation of African Americans,
Now, therefore, for the above and other documented atrocities and accumulated wrongs inflicted upon African Americans, we demand a formal written apology and other appropriate remuneration from the leadership of the Democratic party.
Neither have I, am I am old enough to well remember it.
Gee, Bush does have little bat like ears.
Obamas smile is so smug.
Was such a great moment in American history. Not.
