Obama calls out black men for thinking for themselves

[Hey Yo]

Former US President Barack Obama has made an impassioned plea to black men to get behind the Democratic nominee.

In an unannounced stop at a Harris campaign field office in the swing state of Pennsylvania, he chided male voters "coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses" not to support a woman for president.

Obama, the nation's first black president, suggested that sexism was at play for why hesitation “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers”.


I’ve got a problem with that,” he said. “Because part of it makes me think - and I’m speaking to men directly - part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

But Democrat Nina Turner, a former Bernie Sanders surrogate, questioned why black men were "being lectured to" and "belittled in ways that no other voting group is".

"Now, a lot of love for former President Obama, but for him to single out black men is wrong," Turner told CNN.

Pretty sad Obama has to take the path of shaming black men who are thinking for themselves and see Kamalluh for what she really is... a hack who won't make their lives better while running this country

At this rate, with the rise of social media where everyone across the country can get the information they need to make informed decisions, I don't see how the Democrat Party survives and stays relevant in the next 10-20 years. The Democrat Party time and time again prove to the world that they think that minorities, especially Blacks, are too stupid to think for themselves. They think that Blacks are a monolith and should vote a certain way. And as Joe Biden said, they'll even question your Blackness if you don't vote for them. The Democrats think they own the Black vote. Well, not anymore.

I'm not a big fan of his and not weighing in on what parts I think he's right or wrong on but you have to give Barry credit. He's never been hesitant on calling out the black community. At least in a way no white liberal would ever think of doing in a million years :oldlol:

Sure there is. There’s also completely inaccurate information on sites like Twitter.

At the end of the day you’re still only going to intake information that you want.
