False claim: Obama rejected democratic ideals by saying that “ordinary men and women are too small minded to govern their own affairs”

A video shared hundreds of thousands of times on Facebook is edited to falsely depict former president Barack Obama rejecting democratic ideals and calling for individuals to submit to totalitarianism. The clip shows Obama making a speech in which he says, “…and for the international order that we have worked for generations to build. Ordinary men and women are too small minded to govern their own affairs. That order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign.” The excerpt lacks context and is misleading.
Example posts sharing the excerpt can be found here , here , and here .
The video is extracted from a speech made by President Obama on March 26, 2014 at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, Belgium, while traveling for meetings with European Union and NATO allies. Obama expressed the need for NATO to boost its presence in eastern European countries that felt vulnerable to Russia after its annexation of Crimea ( here ).
The full transcript of the speech, visible on C-SPAN here , shows that Obama said, “Leaders and dignitaries of the European Union, representatives of our NATO alliance, distinguished guests, we meet here at a moment of testing for Europe and the United States and for the international order that we have worked for generations to build.”
Later in his remarks, he contrasted “the belief that through conscience and free will, each of us has the right to live as we choose, the belief that power is derived from the consent of the governed and that laws and institutions should be established to protect that understanding” with what he described as “the alternative vision” propagated by countries like Russia. This alternative vision,” he said, “argues that ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs, that order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign.”
VERDICT
False. Former president Barack Obama’s words were cropped and taken out of context.

Me personally.. nothing because the job doesn't allow for you to do good for black people. America is ran on white supremacy. It's like expecting someone who is a DA or attorney general and happens to be black to be on your side. You don't get to that high of a position by actively helping black people.
I know people expected him to do stuff for us because he looks black but that's unrealistic
Ok here's a better question. What specifically do you think he should have done for black people?
If I had the guts.......you must think Igive a damn about social status. I have posted many times that I have worked a Facebook and dont have an account at facebook,linkedin , twitter ,tiktok , instagram .your tweet is lie..its on youtube...search it...
give you a hint: President Obama on March 26, 2014 at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, Belgium
put that in the search and see what you get and we'll see if you have the guts to post the original video here..
what did he do for them that you can't do???
His first term he couldn't have said anything because he would have been a 1 term president. Him being the first he just couldn't speak on issues like a white guy could have. Same goes with Jordan, no way he's as rich as he is now if he would have spoke up. Guarantee you if Ali wouldn't have said shit, he would have made a lot more money. Today it's easier to speak up but 10, 20, 30 years ago, you paid hefty consequences for speaking out. Remember what happened to Chris Jackson? Aka Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf.. 
Goes down as he act militant and they come after him.
Y'all as in all those who said he should've done......
NPR: left-leaning website had no problem picking it up and running it.
Published about Warren G. Harding -
“William Chancellor, a professor of economics and politics at Wooster College in Ohio, wrote a book on the Harding family genealogy. Evidently, Harding had Black ancestors between both sets of parents. Chancellor also said that Harding attended Iberia College, a school founded to educate fugitive slaves.”
too easy to debunk anything you pro-whites say because you are lazy and don’t like to put work in to research and study. That’s the last I’m posting because a grown man should be able to read and comprehend and you obviously only know what you were taught and not what you have learned on your own. Try to fight the truth and facts all you want and you will continue racking up more L’s like the Biden administration which is trending worse than the previous one and that is damn near unfathomable.Thomas Jefferson got called racial epithets in news print, far worse than Obama was ever called (Including the n-word) but you claim it wasn’t legitimate
- how many kids he have with Sally Hemings again? 
DUDE...WHAT. THE. FUCK. IS. THE. POINT?NPR: left-leaning website had no problem picking it up and running it.

You're just rambling now....make sense just ONCE in this thread...can you do that?
welcome to amerikkka
So you think he'd be impeached for speaking against police killing Black men?
if your talking about Obama...you forgot that he said the police acted stupidly in arresting skip gates....what happened after that?
the dude had to have a BEER SUMMIT because of the backlash of the Black President saying a BEAT COP acted stupidly....
Yes nothing solves racism like sitting together and having a beer.if your talking about Obama...you forgot that he said the police acted stupidly in arresting skip gates....what happened after that?
the dude had to have a BEER SUMMIT because of the backlash of the Black President saying a BEAT COP acted stupidly....
Then when you actually had the “beer summit,”3 did President Obama say anything helpful, or was that whole thing pro forma?
Oh, that’s interesting. I was at Martha’s Vineyard, and I had been getting instructions from the White House, through Glenn Hutchins.4 They told me not to wear a bespoke suit. “We don’t want it to be about class.” All of the sudden I was the upper-class black person against the working class. I go, “I’m the victim!” They go, “No, don’t wear one of those suits.” I go: “These are the only suits I have. I’m not going out to Sears and Roebuck and buying a suit.” Then they go, “Do not fly down in a private plane.”5 Glenn Hutchins owns a private plane. Glenn’s a billionaire. He’s one of my best friends.
The only way we could get to Washington was on Glenn’s plane, because there was fog. Anyway, we got to the White House, and we and Sgt. Crowley’s family all got to the library at the same time. I walked over to Sgt. Crowley. He had his kids there, and I said to them: “Hi, I’m Professor Gates. Hope you come to Harvard one day. Maybe you’ll take one of my classes.” Then I said to him, “Can I have a word with you?” He and I went off and did the beer summit ourselves. I said, “Look, I don’t know about you, man, but I just want this to go away.”
He goes, “This is a nightmare.” I said to him: “The president has come under attack. Racism’s coming out of the floor. I’m sure you’re a decent person. I forgive you. Let’s move on.” He goes, “That would be the best thing that could happen.” I said, “Maybe we could find a way to lecture about it.” He laughed and said, “Anything I can do to get off the beat.” I realized he was funny. I think that gay people have a sense of who’s homophobic. I think that Jewish people have a sense of who’s anti-Semitic. I definitely think black people — I could walk out there and tell you, “That [expletive] is a racist.”
Thats not impeachment tho lolif your talking about Obama...you forgot that he said the police acted stupidly in arresting skip gates....what happened after that?
the dude had to have a BEER SUMMIT because of the backlash of the Black President saying a BEAT COP acted stupidly....
thats was one cop in a non lethal situation.... imagine if Obama said the cops that arrested eric garner acted stupidly during that investigation...
Well Obama definitely made sure to never piss white daddy off ever again. Fuck being, checks notes, the leader of the free world huh lol.
For sure...he said that killed his approval ratings with whitey so he made sure never to do it again
He woke up one day a realized his name is mud in these streets. That's why he trying to protect what little legacy he has amongst the people.
@gene cisco alert!
Then in 2012 Obama said:
"If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon"
That didn't piss off cacs?
How about:
In 2016 when Obama sent his deepest condolences to Michael Browns family and the Justice Department began investigating the situation?
Everything Obama did, including just being the president upset cacs.
These sellouts are so afraid of the Neanderthal, they don’t even question them. They even believe the Neanderthals over the word of the so-called black man, directly out of his own mouth. Shit is insanity.
again trump was impeached twice, is a one termer and is being criminally prosecuted as we type....
whats your point again?
These cacs love a docile scary negro. One day hopefully the scary negro will get up off his knees and stand up and look the cac he's afraid of in the eye like a man!
Yup they were. Yet like the examples I provided and that counter your argument about Obama and his approval ratings. Those things certainly didn't boost his approval rating with cacs.
It's hard being a black man in America, lol.
