Obama says 'institutional constraints' kept him from commenting on killings of Black Americans

[largebillsonlyplease]

Yeah, okay... Like I said, some people have simplistic views and unrealistic solutions for every problem. I'd just ask you to rethink your comment that "A president can do what they want when they're in office; especially one who's secured his 2nd term". Nixon thought so too and had to resign even after winning re-election a landside.

Don't do the simplistic view thing hosss.
I just watched a dude do whatever he want and try to commit treason and he is at home waiting on justice to be served.

Saying stop killing black people ain't that hard of a leap

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Hell Trump is the product of Obama
Man ill never forget those first 2 years when those niggas had all power in the world
and yet they were still trying to please the repigs

mofos created a whole tea party...basically i hate black people party and youre still reaching out
that ninja needs to enjoy retirement
like amajor said, my favorite potus of all time but im disliking him more by the day

They hated him and he sent love back to them lol.

I'll never get it

But like I said the last straw was the urgency he showed in saving white people from horse

shit he was quick to jump on black fathers tho as if the system he was running wasnt responsible for that mess
but white folks od'ing
dude put an S on his chest....ill save you

 

[ronmch20]

Trump did whatever he wanted so the argument is moot
and nixon resigned over something called watergate
stop simplifying shit because youre a fanboy

I shouldn't engage but I will, you said a President can do whatever he wants especially in his second term and I showed you by way of Nixon having to give it up in his second term that statement simply is just not true. Nixon with with every power at his disposal tried to quash Watergate and he failed. No need to go with the personal attacks simply because you assertion proved to be incorrect.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Why??? Because he didn't advocate killing whitey at every opportunity. I suggest you google Obama administration accomplishments and perhaps you "liking him less and less" will result in you liking him "more and more:.

You're his advocate and find my post objectionable. Post his accomplishments that you think will change my opinion. Start with the black specific ones. Then transition to the ones that help blacks disproportionately. Then conclude with the ones that have a collateral positive impact on blacks. School me. Thanks in advance.

Nixon didnt have shit when he got exposed. Hell he tried to extinguish the heat but it only grew worse. again, all your views are simplistic as fuck, bro. you have to learn to see past the fanboyism.

hell obama told us to our faces that he would help the black community when he was out of office(my brothers keeper bs)

WTF

Wow, I hoped you'd come back with a rational retort. All you did was try to defend your position with inaccuracies, mindless drivel and personal attacks.
I'm going to take to heart the admonition not to suffer fools, so I won't any further.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

He did speak on the killings of Tamir Rice and Trayvon Martin, even going so far as to publicly say that that Trayvon could have been his son. He did speak on the killing of Michael Brown and Alton Sterling. I would just like to know what more his detractors believe he could have done in addition to referring all three to the Justice Department for investigation. People forget in these cases a President is constrained by states jurisdictional authority and able to do only so much, and a black President facing a backlash from whites thinking he's pro black and blacks thinking he's not black enough even more so.

People react simplistically to complex situations and become angry when what they feel should happen doesn't and instead put a face to their disappointment and in this case blame Obama with no regard for the real machinations at play .

He spoke as much as 40 acres and a mule.

 

[sorcererforemost]

I say all the time black people set themselves up for disappointment.

Why did anyone think that we'd be looking like Black Wallstreet when he came into office? That line of thinking that he'd push black people to the front was always a pipe dream.

Also, he is only half black, enough said.

Nope, not gonna do that my brother. You shouldn't expect me to spoon feed you. If you're really interested do as I suggested and simply google his administration's accomplishments which unbeknownst to many directly benefit the black community. You will be surprised and enlightened.

Every single policy mentioned resulted in collateral benefit at best. Where are the ones that specifically or even disproportionately address black issues or redress black suffering resulting from systemic racism and government oppression? Say, kinda like we can do for the homosexuals.

 

[MistaPhantastic]

Its a big jump to claim he did nothing but its entirely wrong to say that he couldn't have done more.
For instance, he could have ended both wars during his tenure as President and he didn't.
He let his advisors talk him into not pulling out. We never should have gone to war with Iraq and we should have pulled out of Afghanistan. Before you jump to grand generalizations, YES I am aware of the ramifications and YES, I believe we still should have left and Biden and the rest of Congress agrees. Biden is going to attempt to GTFO of Afghanistan by September and its long overdue. Obama should have and could have done this.
As to why he was so silent to the black plight during his presidency, well, even white folks have questioned this. What's that saying about excuses? "If you don’t want to do something, one excuse is as good as another."

 

[Megatron X]

Damn, most of you all learning what I and others been telling you about Obama since day 1. Now, you're learning the hard way.

 

[D24OHA]

I always felt it was a risky road(to a degree) especially when you and your family have protection around the clock

But when you touch on other subjects, this language don’t add up

Yeah at this point I'd rather he just not say anything...

It's not a good look now

 

[Supersav]

That's one of my biggest gripes
caring more about what white people think than what we actually going through
And we can say he did because he didn't say fuck it.

He's just idk.

They lost their minds the same way when he wore a tan suit

so in my opinion if they gonna lose their minds no matter what might as well make it worth it.

He's white tho..he said when he looks in the mirror he sees his white grandma. He never even dated black chicks till Michelle and that was for political reasons

 

[Don Coreleone]

The best thing he can do at this point is shut the fuck up and keep his opinions to himself. Unless he's setting Michelle or Sasha out I personally don't want to hear from him.

He only speaks when it's time to derail any sort of black movement...they trot his ass out there...like they did when the NBA players were going to strike

 

[Spectrum]

They treated him like nigga scum his entire tenure. In years 7 and 8 he should have given them a reason to.

Obama took the "high road" way too much. The CACs were yelling during his fucking SOTU speeches.

He does speak out about pretty much everything. There are times where he probably should withhold his opinion.. especially being critical of the black community WITHOUT providing the context of how whatever situation was created in some sort by white supremacy. Let's not pretend he didn't say anything though.

And you'll never have a U.S. president do what you want as long as white people have a majority of the votes. That's not what politics is. That's why you have activists. That's their lane.

Wheewwwww Chile


I remember the BGOL member that woke me up in Nov ‘12 and tell me to do my job and vote.


I was extra cool.

He waved his finger. LMAOOO

 

[Spectrum]

He will always be my favorite POTUS of all time for several reasons including the obvious ones.. But i find myself liking him less and less as time goes on.

You what the real problem is? He actually does believe whites as a group can be "good". That's his fatal flaw. Whites as a group only care about protecting white supremacy. That's it. They'll sacrifice even themselves for it.

That's why he never saw Trump coming... until it was too late (two weeks left).

He didn't think whites were capable of voting that idiot in... that's why he was even joking about it on Late-Night TV. He even talked about "not understanding the country" when the election was over and doing some soul-searching. "HE TRUSTED THEM"

 

[34real]

OBAMA IS FULL OF SHIT AND MOST OF HIS STANS WERE DUKEDc,HE'S NOT WHO YOU BELIEVE HE REALLY IS PERSONALLY,HE WAS FED TO YOU.
-MICHELE IS BLACK AND MORE INLINE WITH BLACK PEOPLE THAN HE IS AND EVER WAS.
-ONCE THEY GET A DIVORCE HE'LL SLOWLY OPEN UP AND START LETTING PEOPLE KNOW HOW HE REALLY FEELS BUT HE'S SHAKING HANDS,TAKING PHOTOS,KISSING BABIES AND MAKING MONEY RIGHT NOW TO SAY SOMETHING AND FUCK THAT OFF.

I voted for him to have a first black president,that was the only reason other than that fuck him and I didn't trust him no way cause he came outta nowhere and they kept force feeding him to us.

Reading this, it made me think of my mother. What I miss most, now that I’m older & seeing it, is her common wisdom.

I remember my moms used to tell me that she can tell whenever I told a lie. Decades later, reminiscing, I asked her how she always knew. She said:

The truth stands in its own. A person’s that lying will give you 100 reasons why they did or doing something but if it was true, it would simply be one.

Obama is not being wholly truthful here. And then to add the audacity of saying what can he as the president do, when his successor basically blackballed a man for kneeling down in a private organization.

Y’all can fall for it if y’all wanna, but I won’t.

Then again, reflecting on my mother’s wisdom yet again...”Between a rock & hard place is a tough place to hoe.”

Trump didn't do that. Whites did. I hope yall aren't simple-minded enough to think that Obama could even remotely get away with the shit that Trump did. Biden can't even get away with the shit that Trump did. CACs have a special reverence for someone who boldly and explicitly protects white supremacy and that was the extension of credit that Trump got.

 

[king reckless]

If you honestly think that the black man's hands weren't tied in any way, despite being leader of the First World, you have to be insane. Especially when a white Kennedy caught a bullet in his head for attempting to do the first thing. You must want to see a fallen leader dead. And that would have shook future people of color to try a position as commander in chief.

You must have forgotten what had happened when he spoke against Gates getting arrested at his own house.

I wonder what he would do to satisfy his critics. Biden is busy trying to reinstall policies the narcissistic Trump reversed.

I never expected him to undo any wrongs in the black community as we aren't as committed as our ancestors. The cop killing won't take an Obama. It could've taken a league of black athletes in solidarity to end the nonsense.

Us out of those sports arena could have ended the killer cops, it's not like athletes haven't taken a stand but separately, nah. They hushed LeBron for speaking up against China's strong arm tactics on Hong Kong.

Shit wasn't going to happen regardless. And you can't do that shit by executive order. The reality is that whites aren't going to support anything that explicitly realigns power away from whites to blacks. Obama understood that and even discussed it..which I was surprised he did (while in office). The problem is that he failed to use the bully pulpit to explicitly reveal the extent to which white supremacy permeates U.S. society.

The irony is that Whites used Obama himself to negate the existence of that structure.

Honestly, I have mixed feelings about the shit... because even though he took the easiest road... i'm not sure he could have done much anyway because you gotta have the votes in Congress to pass the laws and even white Democrats are loyal to white surpremcay.

This is the thing. You always have to look at the full context.

CACs were literally on tv saying it was an impeachable offense to wear a fucking tan suit. Like that's not a joke. Fox News was having "serious" debate for weeks at a time over that shit.

That is why the watermelon stigma lands today. That shit is 100 years old at least. He should kept with the suits. Take it back to the nineties. Got enough problems as it is.
