Racism has kept his wife and daughters from realizing their dreams… somehow.
Speaking before the Congressional Black Caucus at the latter’s Foundation Phoenix Awards, Obama recycled the same old “America is unfair to black people” narrative:
“We’re not here just to celebrate; we’re here to keep going, because with the unemployment rate for African Americans still more than double than whites, with millions of families still working hard waiting to feel the recovery in their own lives, we know that the promise of this nation – where every single American regardless of the circumstances in which they were born, regardless of what they look like, where they come from – has the chance to succeed, that promise is not yet fulfilled,” said Obama in one hell of a run-on sentence. Funny, he never asked who has been in charge of the country for the last seven years.

Keep in mind that just prior to that statement he was bragging how he, and he alone, created millions of jobs and cut the unemployment rate. And don’t forget, it was the valiant Obama, all by his lonesome, with guns blazing, that singlehandedly killed Osama bin Laden! If he is the one driving job creation (and he isn’t) then it’s his fault for being a racist and not managing to create any jobs for blacks. He should blame himself.
“And then there are some of the challenges that are harder to see and to talk about. All though Michelle, our outstanding beautiful First Lady talks about these struggles. Michelle will tell stories about how when she was younger people telling her she shouldn’t aspire to go to the very best universities. And she found herself thinking sometimes maybe they’re right. Even after she earned two degrees from some of the best universities in America, she still faced the doubts that are rooted in deep social prejudice and stereotypes.”
“And those stereotypes – social pressures – still effect our girls,” said Obama with a frowny face.
Seriously! Obama’s daughters are two of the most privileged teenagers, of any color, on the planet. Racism, sexism, or whatever else Barack is still imaging that doors are closed to them? In fact, they will both have amazing opportunities most people of any color or social status can only dream of. They will be paid enormously to do nothing, just like Hillary Clinton’s daughter, simply because of their last name.
Yes, racism that has kept Michelle and Barack Obama from succeeding. It’s not like they are the First Lady and President of the United States respectively. Oh wait, they are.
He’s the most racist, and caused mor racism than all other presidents!!!!!
????????? You were President you cry baby. Get over it. Race relations were set back 60 years since you took office. That is your biggest failure.
Bull. If racism held him back he would have been impeached.
B******t alert!…
This article is clearly written by a white person who has spent absolutely no time considering, much less studying, what structural racism means and how it impacts nonwhite persons of color in our country. White privilege is alive and well, notwithstanding the U. S. having had a President of Color for 8 years. Please refrain from jumping on the bandwagon of continued hate speech and begin the hard process of taking a look at what structural racism is; how it impacts all of us, white and nonwhite alike; and how we can work toward being a more unified country upholding the principle that “All men (and women) are created equal.” As a white person, I have learned from my friends of Color what it is like to walk in their shoes, with daily slights from white people simply because the color of their skin differs from the white norm. As a white person, I am confronting the many ways, conscious and unconscious, in which I participate in perpetuating white supremacy. It is our task to do the same and to commit toward a country where people are treated with respect regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, country of origin, or sexual orientation and identity. I reject this article as blatantly racist. I am disturbed by the comments of other readers which perpetuate the same attitude. Anyone who is Christian is called upon to chip away at the underpinnings of racism, which is alive and well, unfortunately, in our country.
