Michelle and Barack just make up shyt that sounds interesting.

Deep down they know their legacy is tarnished as black people began to wake up. We were supposed to be the ones to catapult them to Malcolm and Martin status as white people try to attack and white wash their history but they fell painfully short. :francis:
Don't let this coli shyt fool you. Most black people love the shyt outta Michelle and Barack.

Breh you already contradicting yourself. You said it's never going to happen then you said itll take 2 centuries.

Whatever the time frame, it will happen. 10 years ago the black community had a mostly positive to apathetic view of the Clintons. Fast forward to now and you have a very large segment of black people who simply don't like them as politicians. Another segment who are acutely aware of their political actions in destabilization of states. And another smaller segment that think they are large scale sex trafficking pedophiles.

As people become more educated and more information comes out about Barack's political dealings behind the scene, black people's opinion will change on the Obama's.

This is not my personal theory, this is history repeating itself.
I disagree.
We see and are seeing W. Bush being portrayed in a more favorable light relative to Donald Trump. This is happening in real time. People forget that Bush was almost run out of the White House and was perhaps the most mocked,hated, and lampooned president up until that point.

History is going to be more kind to W. by virtue of Trump's mishandling of the office and bozo the clown actions and persona. Even the average person who hated Bush back then wouldn't hold that negative perception today to the extent is existed when he was in office.

How does Obama's legacy take a hit among historians or regular people with Trump's buffoonery show running 24/7 for 4 years straight? And his shortcomings as a leader doing irreparable damage to the country?

Serious question

Sounds like she was mad that he won because she did not want to play a supportive role (surprise surprise lol).

Before Barack was the Pres (or State Senator) she was the bread winner. I'm sure she loved holding that over him.
Brothers on the IBMOR game know where I'm going but i'll leave it at this.




Had nothing to do with this. Do yall realize that we just got civil rights 50 years ago? We didn't even have the RIGHT to vote. Then 50 years later, a black man is gonna be elected to the highest office in the land?

A lot of ppl didn't think Obama had a chance during the primaries, whether they supported him or not. They were hopeful but they thought that white folks wouldn't elect him.

You gave me the benefit of a doubt? I always thought that you were a trifling Trump supporting c00n. No benefits of doubts at all :rudy:


You couldn't find a single instance of me supporting anything Republican or Trump related if your mammy's life depended on it, but this goes back to you being corny. Instead of shrugging and simply saying, "fukk you, too," like a grown man, you fabricate a ducktale to comfort you.

Now, for those old enough to remember, Colin Powell's name was being discussed as a serious presidential candidate years earlier.

His wife's reaction was different.

Alma Powell Says She Worried For Husband's Safety
powells.jpg

NEW YORK (AllPolitics, April 11) -- Both the hate mail and random callers were scary during the time her husband contemplated a presidential run, Alma Powell reveals in the May issue of the Ladies Home Journal.

"You think everybody loves (retired general) Colin Powell," She said. "Everybody doesn't like Colin Powell."

On the urging of others, the highly popular Desert Storm hero considered running for president, but decided against it. Making his announcement last November, Powell downplayed the importance of his wife's fears in his decision making. Though she had acknowledged some reservations, her latest comments are the most detailed admission of how deeply those fears run.

"I don't want to describe the hate mail we've gotten," she said. "... One day I got two letters -- one telling me what a wonderful man I was married to and how much the country needed him; the other said Colin Powell is a scum bag and proceeded to list all his evils."

Some people journeyed across the country, discovered where the Powells live, and showed up on their doorstep. That scared her, even when the callers were fans. Her grim conclusion: "A black man running for president is going to be in a dangerous position."

Many Republicans are still hoping the retired general will join Sen. Robert Dole's ticket, though presumably Mrs. Powell's reservations extend to the vice presidency, as well. Powell himself has reaffirmed his intent to remain on the sidelines

===============================================

Years later she revealed the whole truth, and said she threatened to leave him if he decided to run.

“...for President was that deep down, I was like “there’s no way he’s gonna win’...
And we can sorta get this out of the way, and I could be that Supportive Wife going:
‘oh honey, you tried...now let’s go back to our lives as usual.’ That was my whole plan...”

Good to have a woman who's got your back

I don't think what she said warrants negative reactions...because I highly doubt any black person truly believed it either until it actually happened :yeshrug:

This is the coli tho where anti-obama/Trump nut-huggers collide and team up with each other to attack...just check the names of the dappers dapping negative replies :mjpls:

:sas2:
