Via Washington Post:
President Obama on Sunday summoned the graduates of historically black Morehouse College to “transform the way we think about manhood,” urging the young men to avoid the temptation to make excuses and to take responsibility for their families and their communities.[1]
Delivering a commencement address at the all-male private liberal arts college in Atlanta, Obama spoke in deeply personal terms about the “special obligation” he feels as a black man to help those left behind.
“There but for the grace of God, I might be in their shoes,” Obama said. “I might have been in prison.[2] I might have been unemployed.[3] I might not have been able to support a family [4] — and that motivates me.”
The president also reflected on the absence of his father growing up, noting that he was raised by a “heroic single mother”[5] and urged the young graduates not to shrink from their family responsibilities. [6]
Obama added, “Laws and hearts and minds have been changed to the point where someone who looks just like you can somehow come to serve as president of these United States.” [7]
Yet Obama acknowledged that “the bitter legacies of slavery and segregation” have not vanished, that discrimination still exists. [8]
“As Morehouse men, many of you know what it’s like to be an outsider, to be marginalized, to feel the sting of discrimination. That’s an experience that a lot of Americans share,” Obama said. [9]
Hispanic Americans, Obama lamented, are told to “go back” home [10] while strangers pass judgment on the parenting skills of gay men and lesbians [11] or stare at Muslim Americans with suspicion. [12]

Okay, now let's break this down. . .
[1] Take responsibility of their communities? Does he mean by allowing government to provide, rather than the head of the household? Government dependency kills the drive for self-reliance, and kills innovation, as well as the family unit. It is no accident that blacks, who dominate involvement in government programs, also find themselves the group with the highest number of single-parent families.
[2] Prison? Would he be in prison because he wouldn't have the money and power, like he does now, to keep him out of prison? Though environment can play a part, I believe in the end it is still up to the choices someone makes as an individual. Evil is often inherent, but one can still choose to say, "No." By this statement, Barack Obama is telling us that deep down he is evil enough to be in prison, for only he knows his deepest thoughts. But, because he has been coached and coddled his whole life, he has been primed for where he is, and the part of his core that would land him in prison is being protected by his status, money, and the puppeteers around him, he is not in prison.
[3] Obama is worse than unemployed. He has never worked a job in his life, and yet he lives a plush life. He is a swindler, who has used lies, and agitation, to rise to power, and live off the money of others.
[4] One of the things people pat Obama on the back for is for being a good husband and a good father, yet in this statement he is saying that if it wasn't for all of his money and power, his wife may very well be a single mother because he would not find a way to support his family.
[5] Obama's "heroic single mother" was a loose woman that proudly proclaimed her communist ties. Hardly heroic.
[6] Yet, as President he also urges greater government dependency. A contradiction.
[7] If you ain't a whitey, you can be President, too. As if racism to the degree that he proclaims still exists in this nation. Sure, there will always be a certain level of racism in any society, but for God's sake, who is more racist? The "right-wingers" that call us all "Americans," and want the government to do what's best for the country, not what's best for special interest groups? Or the supporters of Obama who elected him twice because of the color of his skin, rather than the content of his character?
[8] The slavery and segregation that exists has been created by the Democrats, who divides the country into groups and sets those groups against each other so as to hold on to their power. Government programs championed by Democrats enslave the populace, dictating how they may act and what they can consume for the promise of a continuance of dependency on the government programs.
[9] His way of attacking "Whitey," because of his racist tendencies that hates White America, and the founding principles of this nation.
[10] Hispanic Americans are not told to go back home. Hispanic Non-Americans that broke the law and forced their way into our country without being willing to follow the procedures for immigration has been told to go back home. Once they are home, they are welcome to apply, and come here legally.
[11] Strangers that call their sexual perversion a "civil right" are trying to force those that hold to traditional values to accept their "lifestyle", force the gay agenda's belief that homosexuality is a normal lifestyle on the children of those that disagree through the schools, and criminalize any speech that is contrary to their demands, as they work to use their proclaimed "civil right" as a weapon to destroy the family, the institution of marriage, and religious institutions.
[12] Of course we stare at Muslims with suspicion. The Koran commands the death of all non-Muslims, terrorism is dominated by Islamic jihadists, and Muslim leaders constantly call for Islamic terror against Israel and America, and call for the death of America. The Democrats only defend Islam, which is hostile towards all things the liberals support (abortion, gay marriage, etc.), because of all the money being pumped into the Democrat Party by Saudi Arabia, and pro-Muslim groups like CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, etc. It isn't about religious freedom as the Democrats claim, it is all about money.

Damn! not only you prove my point that anyone who hates Obama are racists, you prove Obama's point! The speech was for the audience the black male in America. The black male in America experience is not like the the white male experience in America. I will have my son use some of the things he said in the speech as a daily affirmation for my 2 year old grandson. The things he said in the speeech are the same things my folks drill into their children daily.
ReplyDeleteHe was not telling the audience to steal, cheat, drop bombs on children and families.
it's realistic and true, unfortunately. There is still a lot of institutionalized and silent racism in this country. It used to be socially acceptable for people to be openly racist. It no longer is, but racist people haven't stopped being racist. They just find other ways to be racist.
All you have to do is read the anti Obama comments on the internet, majority of the ones I've read are downright racist, not all but majority. It's disgsuting how you racist hypocrites rush to paint Obama as a liar, even when it was admitted that there is no evidence that President Barack Obama or the White House were involved in the IRS investigation into so-called “patriot” and Tea Party groups.
1. Barack Obama is not a Racist
2. Barack Obama does not hate the United States Of America.
3. Barack Obama is not a communist.
4. Barack Obama is not a Dictator because he does not enforce and or have any totalitarian rules in place.
5. Barack Obama is not a usurper. He has proven over and over again that he is legally able to be President, just like how you've proven over and over again, to be a bunch of racist scumbags!
6. Barack Obama is not a Fraud.
8. Please explain your definition of "Evil".
9. Barack Obama is not a Marxist.
10. Barack Obama is not a Traitor.
11. Barack Obama is not a Patholigocal Liar. THIS is a case of the racists calling the kettle black, considering how you racist hypocritces lie his ideology, religion, family and even his place of birth. No other president in the history of this country has faced such unfounded open hostility and disrespect. No other president has ever been called a liar by a member of congress during a State of the Union, no other president has had to show his birth certificate…repeatedly.
12. Barack Obama is not a Muslim he is in fact a Christian.
14. Barack Obama is not an Anti-American. You are! enough with this hate speech and admit you can’t stand that a black man is President. It’s as pathetic and your disgraceful attempt to deny this fact!
