At the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama said: “There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America — there’s the United States of America… We are one people…”
After announcing his candidacy for president, Sen. Obama appeared on “60 Minutes”:
“60 Minutes”: “You think the country’s ready for a black president?”
Obama: “Yes.”
“60 Minutes”: “You don’t think it’s going to hold you back?”
Obama: “No. I think if I don’t win this race, it will be because of other factors. It will be because I have not shown the American people a vision for where the country needs to go that they can embrace.”
Polls offered support for Obama’s optimism. The 2008 principal primary candidates for the Republicans were Arizona Sen. John McCain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. For Democrats, the candidates were Obama and Hillary Clinton. A 2007 Gallup poll found that 42% of Americans said they would not vote for someone of McCain’s age. Twenty-four percent said they would not vote for a Mormon, Romney’s religion. As for Clinton, 11% said they would not vote for a woman. Just 5% said they would not vote for a black person.
Shortly after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an optimistic Rev. Martin Luther King said, “Frankly, I have seen certain changes in the United States over the last two years that have surprised me.” He said, “We might be able to get a Negro president in less than forty years.”
Fast forward to 2008. Even those who voted against Obama nevertheless felt his victory made a profound statement about the country. Polls showed both blacks and whites expected “race relations” to improve. But after Obama’s eight years in office, both blacks and whites thought race relations got worse. What happened?
From the beginning of Obama’s presidency until its end, the man America’s considered a unifier played one race card after another. He enraged American law enforcement by falsely accusing a white Cambridge police officer of “acting stupidly.” He implied the officer was racially motivated when he gave to a reasonable and lawful order to a black Harvard professor, who resisted it. When black Florida teenager Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a self-appointed neighborhood watchman, Obama said, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” The jury found the defendant not guilty, and the jurors said race played no role in the encounter. But Obama, who later embraced Black Lives Matter, again advanced the false narrative of anti-black “systemic racism.” Never mind studies showing cops more reluctant, more hesitant to pull the trigger on a black suspect than a white suspect.
In an interview, the man who said he would not blame race if he lost the election said: “The legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives — you know, that casts a long shadow, and that’s still part of our DNA that’s passed on. We’re not cured of it. … Racism — we are not cured of it.” Obama invited the race-hustling Al Sharpton to the White House over 70 times.
Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder complained of America’s “pernicious racism,” giving as an example voter ID. In Obama’s second term, a black man motivated by the Obama-promoted police anti-black narrative murdered two NYPD cops as they sat in their squad car. In Baton Rouge, another black man driven by the same narrative ambushed and murdered three police officers. In Dallas, another black man influenced by this narrative ambushed and murdered five police officers.
There is a straight line between Obama’s rhetoric and the months of the deadly, costly 2020 Black Lives Matter/George Floyd protests. Never mind that the lead prosecutor, a black man, never argued the officer-defendant was racially motivated, and the officer was not charged with a hate crime.
Obama, post-presidency, still fans the flames of race and identity division. Less than two years ago, the man America hired as a uniter said: “I have little sympathy for reactionaries who cynically condemn identity politics or cancel culture when really all they’re doing is trying to preserve existing privilege or excuse entrenched injustice, or bigotry.”
Thanks, Obama.
In Australia, when a politician declared that ‘all lives matter,” he was pilloried by white left wing politicians and journalists (OK that’s a tautology – ALL journos are left wing) who said he was ‘beyond disgusting”. and to say ‘all lives’ diminished the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement. If someone was to physically attack those critics and say they did it because white lives don’t matter, only black lives, those same folk would be outraged!
Broadcaster for Sacramento Kings Basketball Team was also fired for saying “All Lives Matter”
Keep up the good work Larry, the world needs more honesty.
The Great Narcissist has a racial chip on his shoulder the size of Mount Rushmore. He also no doubt thinks his image should be on that monument along with Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, fellow Marxist Angela Davis and Louis Farrakhan.
Marxist divide and conquer strategy. Social harmony does not benefit them.
And the rest is history. Obama made good on his pledge to “fundamentally transform America,” as we continue to buckle under its oppressive weight. It would seem that we’ve become like camels, obediently going to our knees, accepting whatever load some bureaucrat decides to throw on our backs. But somewhere, somehow, there’s got to be a limit. Even a camel will occasionally spit at its master.
Barry Soetoro fulfilled his goal via JB.
Marxist communicators, like Islamist communicators, rely on obfuscation, and prize it highly as the way forward to attain their goals, which ultimately, is dominion over everyone else.
From his fake “moderate” entry into the political scene to his reveal after the election, Obama was a race-focused destroyer who would do more to divide America than any prior president.
It was telling that he walked off a plane during the campaign carrying a book titled “The Post-America World” by Fareed Zakaria. He still is working toward that goal.
Mr Obama is the only muslim that converted to Christianity by changing his Christian name to a full on islamic name once he embraced Jesus as his Lord and Savoir and was not called out in a Fatwa from the various muslim leaders as being an apostate.
This has to be THE biggest scam ever played on the American people.
Never forget what this manipulator did to our once great country.
Many blacks are very racist. Unfortunately..when crimes are committed by blacks…like the smash and grab by black teens seen on video.. nothing is said by BLM. Same for the murder of Ashli Babbit..an unarmed white soldier shot by a black man..why?
Sharpton blames blackness as to why Claudine Gray was fired.. nothing said about her own irresponsible behavior. Often race is used as an excuse for irresponsible behavior, laziness, & poor choices, ..God knows we all know right from wrong
