Barack Obama doesn’t seem to have many fans these days. Despite spending his entire presidency pandering to Islam and the African American community — among many others — he doesn’t seem to have much to show for either.
Take Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, for example. In 2008, Farrakhan was so enthusiastic about Obama that he called the then-candidate “the messiah.” He described his feelings toward Obama as “glowing” and “beautiful” and even claimed that Obama was doing “the work of God.”
Now, eight years later, the story is very different.
This week, Farrakhan blasted the president for ignoring the black community for much of his presidency. As it turns out, constant pandering doesn’t actually accomplish much in the inner-city. While Obama focuses on his legacy, young black men in Chicago are being murdered on the streets at an alarming rate.
See Farrakhan use this point in a forceful condemnation of the president on the next page:
he is a fraud
Kat Delgado I’m sure your right about this
FARAKHAN IS A SCUMBAG. AND LOOK AFTER WHO. PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO BE LOOKED AFTER. THE PLANTATION IS CLOSED. THEY WANT WHAT TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT. JOBS, INTEGRITY, EXCELLENT EDUCATION, NOT COMMON CORE. THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT. OBAMA IS A LIE ALWAYS HAS BEEN. BLACK AMERICANS ARE NOT “HIS PEOPLE” THEY ARE OUR PEOPLE.
Donald Trump For President
I don’t understand how the critique of POTUS is justified? I adore the Minister, and am appreciative of his commitment toward promoting Black manhood with unrelenting defense of liberation for our people! But I respectfully disagree with his position in regards to President Obamas legacy. And in the same manner that he has examined the truth , emphasizing actual facts. We should examine this issue accordingly. What did the Black community request from Obama when he was running for office? What promises were made that were not realized? What specific initiatives did the Black community outline as a expectation of his administration? And how could those issues be addressed within the framework of a unsupportive congress and implemented effectively over a 8 Yr period. Why aren’t the Black churches, Urban league, NAACP and the NOI held accountable for the stagnant progression of the issues we face in the Black community in the same way? It’s misguided to feel the gains made for the GLBT community as a slight against us. But I admire the POTUS even more for his work on those issues. Because he is a leader for everyone. And they were organized, unified and clear as to what the wanted from his administration.
