President Obama says Donald Trump should visit new African-American museum
Santa Cruz Sentinel ^ | 09/23/16 | Steve Peoples and Jill Colvin

President Barack Obama scolded Donald Trump for his bleak description of the African-American community as recent police shootings of black men — and the violent protests that followed them — inject sensitive questions about race into the presidential contest.

America’s first black president took issue with the Republican nominee’s suggestion this week that “African-American communities are absolutely in the worst shape than they’ve ever been in before, ever, ever, ever.”

“I think even most 8-year-olds would tell you that whole slavery thing wasn’t very good for black people. Jim Crow wasn’t very good for black people,” Obama said in an interview that aired Friday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Even in the worst days of colonial British slavery, blacks did not go around killing each other like they do now on a regular basis.

Obama is a fool.

Perhaps President Sh**head should visit his native Chicago to see the real plight of the black community instead of whistling past the graveyard in a pie in the sky museum.

Sure.
And the other two options after being captured by their fellow African tribesmen: being slaughtered, or sold to Muslims who'd castrate the males, weren't particularly plum options either.

< How about Obummer visiting some Christian churches and Synagogues!!!

Are you kidding? The man would be like a vampire exposed to holy water or light. He would scream out in too much pain.

Really inspiring architecture. Ranks right up there with the Chinese King monument.

Tell your friend that you don’t do historical fiction.

Haley was the biggest con artist of the era.

Or, maybe he should go back to sucking Reggie’s member. Either way, he should just stop flapping his gums and shut the he11 up.

How about that Chicago murder rate? Over 3600 murdered since obama elected. Wonder how many he knew? Wonder if he could name a single name .

As a matter of fact, his great-great-great-great-grandfather George Washington Overall, appears in the 1850 slave schedule with two slaves.

I stopped talking to her after that. The movie comment was the last straw. She kept sending me video after video of racism stuff after one of the riots. I bit my tongue. But, she mistook my silence for approval.

So, by his very own standards, he is a racist by bloodline. Does he take responsibility for “every” action in his family tree?

Does he blame every German citizen for what Hitler and the Germans of that time did to the Jewish people? Of course he doesn’t. He’s just an elite thug, race baiter.

I will NEVER feel guilty or assume blame for what people in America did long before I was born. And no one else should either.

Does the museum tell about the connection between slavery and the Muslim religion. The slave traders in Africa were Muslim.
