Obama I AM NOT THE PRESIDENT OF BLACK AMERICA

[Gravity]

That wasn't no damn dog whistle. I think if the Obama people wanted to aim a dog whistle at working class white people, he would probably choose a better, larger and more accessible forum than a print interview with Black Enterprise magazine.

He was asked directly about whether or not he's done enough for black business and he said he hopes all businesses succeed and he's not the President of black people. Then he went to say that his administration has been trying to get financing for businesses for locked out economically and that would help black businesses.

It was a standard, coached, fluff statement from a politician with very little substance, but it wasn't a dog whistle. You are really fukking stretching with that one.

Yes, because we all became aware of this comment after reading our copy of Black Enterprise magazine. Obama has no idea that anything he says to the media no matter the size of the outlet becomes national news.

I was being sarcastic. Of course he was talking to non black people in that quote, reassuring them that he's not going to do anything special for blacks just because he's supposedly black. Now you can agree or disagree with the "I'm not black people's president" position, but don't deny what he was obviously trying to do. Personally, while I agree with that position and understand why he decided to make his position clear, I think he could've chose a better way to articulate that position. Like another poster said, instead of saying that he's not the president of Black America he could've said that he was the president of blacks and everybody else. I certainly don't think that he says this about Latinos, women, Jews, or any other minority group that he's going to need to be re-elected. I think that it's fair to say that Obama takes the black vote for granted.

What exactly is wrong with this statement:


Wtf is wrong with some of y'all?

It's not so much that something was wrong with the statement as much as it is that he's pandering to paranoid white people. Imagine if Obama had said "I’m not the president of white America. I’m the president of the United States of America".

White folks would be screaming for him to be impeached.

I can see why he needs to do this politically, but it's still kind of depressing and frustrating.

But no one has ever asked "what will you do for white businesses?" to him before. Matter of fact, I don't think that question has been asked EVER to any president.

If he was asked that question, what do you think he would say? What do you think he SHOULD say?

Ya'll nikkas are crazy.

You are the one that is crazy. No one with a career in journalism in the MSM would ever dare ask a question about White America. White America isn't worried about any president but Obama. Period.

 

[OH SOHH TRILL]

i don't know whose worse, over reacting emotional nikkas or dumb racists crackers.

read the interview. he said exactly what he should've said. he's everyone's president.

Your shilling for the prez is so damn pathetic breh. I bet If Obama call your mother a c*nt, you would probably scold her for making the president mad.

He could say "I'm the President of Black America, but I'm also the president of White, Asian, Latino, and Native America. I represent All Americans"

Let's be reality, a lot of white people are paranoid and think that Obama wants to give black people reparations or oppress white folks or something (listen to right wing talk radio if you don't believe me), so Obama tends to throw "black" issues in the bushes (at least in interviews) to placate them.

Like other folk have said, he would never say "I am not the president of white America" or "I am not the president of Latino America". I'm not even that mad, but it's true.

Again, I understand this politically, but I can only hope that he won't feel a need to do this if he gets a 2nd term.

Nothing I said was shilling for the president. It's hilarious that people like you are actually getting emotional over this bullshyt non-issue. He was asked a direct question about what he would do for black businesses and he gave a careful politician's answer, saying he's accountable for for all businesses, not just black businesses but overall his policies and record are good for black businesses.

If there's anything to get upset about, it's the lack of substance and specificity in his answer, not this bullshyt.

Your act is old and tired. You criticize Obama for the most silly, irrelevant cosmetic nonsense like this and not mentioning Michael Jackson's birthday then say anybody pointing out how stupid and emotional that is stanning Obama.

Then you turn out around and dikkride a racist piece of shyt like Ron Paul. Obama doesn't give Michael Jackson a eulogy so he's a c00n, but Ron Paul pals around with neo-Nazis, wants to repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964, takes pictures with grand dragons, accepts donations from storfront, and publishes a racist newsletter for 14 years but that's all fine because he's "principled." fukk outta here b.

Please stop it. Since when have I given Ron Paul a pass for any of that shyt. I think Ron Paul has the most integrity than all the other politicians out there. Integrity trumps all in my book, a foriegn concept to you and the rest of the brain washed liberals im sure.

Secondly half of the shyt you posted is made up bullshyt. If you feel the need to make up "facts" that Ron has repeatedly denied in order to bolster your false premise then have at it hoss. I on the other hand actually like to see facts before jumping to ridiculous conclusions. If you would rather have a "brother" as a president that shoots hoops and shouts out little Wayne, all while expanding imperialism all over Africa, torturing brown folk in the name of fighting terrorism, and lying to the American people repeatedly for votes than you go ahead. Hopefully you can sleep well at night. I on the other hand actually believe is supporting candidates that actually do and believe what they say. Call me crazy.

"I don't care if Ron Paul is a racist, I support him"-you, multiple times, typed an spoken

Yeah, so it doesn't matter what their integrity is about. So if someone says they want to kill, lock up, or deport all Nigerians and you give them props because they have integrity.

Not one thing I said was non-factual or even a stretch. It was all 100% fact. We've been over this a million times. If you keep trying to deny 2 + 2 = 4, there's nothing I can do for you.

If you would rather have a "brother" as a president that shoots hoops and shouts out little Wayne, all while expanding imperialism all over Africa, torturing brown folk in the name of fighting terrorism, and lying to the American people repeatedly for votes than you go ahead. Hopefully you can sleep well at night. I on the other hand actually believe is supporting candidates that actually do and believe what they say. Call me crazy.

Using this logic, if Charles Manson ran for president on a platform of mass cult murder of "undesirable" people, we should vote for him because he believes what he says.

You vote for the candidate who is the closest to your personal views. It's not rocket science. And miss me with that "brother" shyt because if Obama looked like Haley Barbour I would still vote for him.

If Ron Paul is closer to your views and you want to throw away your vote by writing him in, by all means go for it. Just do not assail Obama for frivolous supposed racial sellout shyt like not acknowledging Michael Jackson's death and saying he's not the president of black America while simultaneously dikkriding a white supremacist fossil from the Jim Crow era because you are completely full of shyt and self-contradictory you will be called out for it.

You call Obama a c00n a million times for not giving a statement on Michael Jackson's death, but you support a guy who voted against the renewal of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and wrote a letter explaining why, published a racist newsletter with his name in the title for over a decade, wrote a blurb for a pro-confederacy book, is in pictures with a KKK grand dragon, gave a speech about how the south was right in front a a confederate flag mural, and was caught having meeting with neo-Nazis through hacked e-mails. Seriously, what is wrong with you? How does a sane human being square this blatant hypocrisy in their mind?
