I remember the day after the 2016 Election, a friend of mine who happens to be white, remarked on social media that he "finally wasn't embarrassed of America and our President."
I sprained my eyes rolling them and they have never fully recovered.
Since then I've heard this sentiment echoed by more white folks than I can count, especially in recent months; supposed relief at once again having a leader who instills pride.
I don't have the time to ask each of the individually, I'll ask here:
So, you were embarrassed for the past 8 years, huh?
Really?
What exactly were you embarrassed by?
Were you embarrassed by his lone and enduring twenty-five year marriage to a strong woman he's never ceased to publicly praise, respect, or cherish?
Were you embarrassed by the way he lovingly and sweetly parented and protected his daughters?
Were you embarrassed by his Columbia University degree in Political Science or his graduating magna cum laude from Harvard Law School?
Maybe you were embarrassed by his white American and Black Kenyan parents, or the diversity he was raised in as normal?
Were you embarrassed by his eloquence, his quick wit, his easy humor, his seeming comfort meeting with both world leaders and street cleaners; by his bright smile or his sense of empathy or his steadiness — perhaps by his lack of personal scandals or verbal gaffes or impulsive tirades?
No. Of course you weren't.
Honestly, I don't believe you were ever embarrassed. That word implies an association that brings ridicule, one that makes you ashamed by association, and if that's something you claim to have experienced over the past eight years by having Barack Obama representing you in the world — I'm going to suggest you rethink your word choice.
You weren't "embarrassed" by Barack Obama.
You were threatened by him. You were offended by him. You were challenged by him. You were enraged by him.
But I don't believe it had anything to do with his resume or his experience or his character or his conduct in office — because you seem fully proud right now to be associated with a three-time married, serial adulterer and confessed predator; a man whose election and business dealings and relationships are riddled with controversy and malfeasance. You're perfectly fine being represented by a bullying, obnoxious, genitalia-grabbing, Tweet-ranting, Prime Minister-shoving charlatan who's managed to offend all our allies in a few short months. And you're okay with him putting on religious faith like a rented, dusty, ill-fitting tuxedo and immediately tossing it in the garbage when he's finished with it.
None of that you're embarrassed of? I wonder how that works.
Actually, I'm afraid I have an idea. I hope I'm wrong.
Listen, you're perfectly within your rights to have disagreed with Barack Obama's policies or to have taken issue with his tactics. No one's claiming he was a flawless politician or a perfect human being. But somehow I don't think that's what we're talking about here. I think the thing President Obama did that really upset you, white friend — was having a complexion that was far darker than you were ever comfortable with. I think the President we have now feels much better.
Because objectively speaking, if what's happening in our country right now doesn't cause you great shame and doesn't induce the continual meeting of your palm to your face — I don't believe embarrassment is ever something you struggle with.
No, if you claimed to be "embarrassed" by Barack Obama but you're not embarrassed by Donald Trump — I'm going to strongly suggest it was largely a pigmentation issue.
What Obama has done globally is far more damaging that Carter.... Carter’s incompetence gave us a radical IRAN... and we’re still dealing with that... Obama’s incompetence gave us ISIS and several failed states in the middle east... His foreign Policy will be something that the US is going to have to deal with for generations...
I love to told what I think by some religious-left assclown, how about you?
“You were threatened by him. You were offended by him. You were challenged by him. You were enraged by him. “
Yep
Yep
Yep
and Yep....
He’s over now sohhhhh...moving on...

"The Twitter Gated Community For Blue-Check Jernalists" lays their twisted black souls open to the world.
And 98% of them don't even realize it, because the Twitter moderators/compound guards protect them 24/7.
Since I am on Twitter with an ID, I can look at their "replies", where they keep most of their day-to-day filth:

If you're not signed up, you can only look at their tweets/retweets, which will give you a pretty good idea of their vileness.
Today, Pavlofilth is proud that he got himself "blocked" by @jerryfalwelljr - probably for spewing slime all over Mr. Falwell.
Looking at Pavlofilth’s twitter feed, I suspect that Johnnie & Barry had a few bathhouse encounters of the Rump Ranger variety...
Were you embarrassed by the way he lovingly and sweetly parented and protected his daughters?
I don’t think either of them are doing much parenting of Malia now, and the future will show it.
Having a foreigner tell me this is who we are.
So to summarize, here is yet another ad hominem attack against a white person by a liberal calling that white person racist.

WOW!! The Drug problem is worse than I thought.
I don't get it. If these guys are "friends" why drag the rest of us into it? And if they're both White, why make it all about race?
Nowadays, people are always "embarrassed" by presidents they didn't vote for. It's not hard to find things to be embarrassed about or things to praise in politicians (or anybody else). Nobody is going to be irredeemable or praiseworthy to everyone. Why any of this is worth an op-ed and posting is beyond me.
To your analysis I would add - Lois Lerner and the IRS; Benghazi, and the fact that he sent an Austrian speaking corpseman on a 57 state tour of the United States (amalgamated gaffes, just like his girlfriends in his books were amalgamations).
