Ridiculous assertion.

When Barack Obama talks, everyone listens.
That’s why I paid close attention to his remarks about young people and our activism on social media at a Tuesday Obama Foundation event, and why I gasped at what I heard: “This idea of purity and you’re never compromised and you’re always politically ‘woke’ and all that stuff. You should get over that quickly. The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids. And share certain things with you.”
He doubled down on his finger-wagging, criticizing college students in particular who, in his view, think, “The way of me making change is to be as judgmental as possible about other people and that’s enough.”
“That’s not activism,” Mr. Obama said. “That’s not bringing about change. If all you’re doing is casting stones, you’re probably not going to get that far. That’s easy to do.”

Neither the number of critics, the severity of the criticism, nor the extent of the actual fallout from it seem particularly important.”) is misguided. His eagerness to dismiss one part of what happens when young people stand up for what they believe in as “casting stones” is a reminder of a largely generational divide about whether it’s impolite to speak out in favor of the most vulnerable among us and the world we’d like to live in. While there’s some debate about which generation Mr. Obama belongs to, he’s solidly in the older camp.

Indeed
I’m all in with the “Cancel Obama” culture.
Obama has said main reasonable things over the years, the problem is he doesn’t follow his own advice...
The left marched off a cliff in the 90s... Obamas election hid the problem.... and let them continue their delusions
If all you’re doing is casting stones, you’re probably not going to get that far.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Kenyan from Indonesia recognizes that Americans are sick of being pelted with stones.
It means if you say or tweet something that the left finds offensive then they will do everything in their power to get you fired from you job and ostracized from society in every way possible.
Literally out to destroy a persons life if they don’t like their opinions.
Obama realizes the left is in the process of turning into a circular firing squad—and he would be one of the victims.
Ridiculous assertion.
Right as rain....he does NOTHING unless he gets paid.
Moreover, I suspect the $90M figure is Netflix's suck-up to his massive ego rather than an actual payout.
ValJar fed those lines to him, no doubt.
Purpose is to blow smoke up the voters’ shorts.
bkmk
Fake news. Will they ever learn?
