The Presidential Negro Is On The Throne But Racism Still Exists
I remember the feeling I had after a friend invited me to go see Obama at a local college while he was campaigning for presidential election. I’m not deeply involved in politics and I don’t pretend to be an expert on the subject, but I do remember the energy in the auditorium that day. “A Change We Can Believe In”, that was the slogan and listening to an intelligent, articulate man that looked like me yet spoke so passionately and eloquently just made me proud and happy that I was able to experience a moment like that. My only regret was that I didn’t bring my kids. Looking around the auditorium that day there were people of every race and age, I surely didn’t think South Carolinian’s would get behind a man of his pigment but I was wrong. I met many people that were not only behind his grass roots movement but they were passionate about it, truly it was a great moment that I stumbled upon almost on accident. Truthfully, despite all the enthusiasm I never thought America would elect a black man as president. Obama proved though that he’s much more than just a black man, he created a movement. He used grass roots organization, social media, and his impassioned speeches to propel himself into the White House. I was stunned and pleasantly surprised when he was elected and I remember watching it with my kids, it was a moment that I’ll never forget. I’m not going to debate what it actually meant or means to black people, but I know what it doesn’t mean….
Racism isn’t dead!
Electing President Obama didn’t magically erase all the hatred and racism that some people in America will always have and embrace. President Obama is in a tough spot, he can’t seem too black and he’s not white so he has to try and toe the line and remain in the gray area. Being “too black” and trying to address all the issues of black America will definately hurt his chances of re-election. Every move he makes is scrutinized like no other president in history. I’ve never heard the rapper/actor Common referred to as a gangster rapper until Michelle Obama invited him to the White House for a poetry reading and the President was attacked for him being chosen.President Obama is attacked for the most frivolous things, could you imagine if he would have publicly defended Troy Davis? We seem to expect him to fix and stand up for everything ever done to black people in America and some are just waiting for him to try so they have more ammunition. He hasn’t just been called a bad president, instead he’s been called a terrorist. They don’t just attack his policies, instead they attack him as a person.
There are many people and parties (Republican, Tea, Fox News, and others) that believe they have the right to disrespect our President in a way that has NEVER been seen or tolerated before. We have in my opinion one of the most dynamic, well spoken, educated, articulate, and passionate Presidents in the history of America yet despite all those factors he’s treated like Rodney Dangerfield (no respect). There’s no way this should be tolerated, but it is just because of the color of his skin. I hear rumblings but no outcry for any fair treatment and respect when it comes to the leader of our country which is beyond disappointing. Our own people such as Tavis Smiley and Cornell West have even launched personal attacks as well as attacks on his policies. To me the message is clear, Obama is our president, but he’s still considered just another Negro to some people and they will go out of their way to try and “put him in his place”. Below are some examples of the blatant disrespect that to me shows race relations are no better now with a black President as they were without one:
- Speaker John A. Boehner became what historians say was the first ever to tell a sitting president that no, he could not deliver an address to a joint session of Congress on the date of his choice. On Thursday, Representative Joe Walsh said in a Twitter message that he would fly home to Illinois rather than serve as “a prop of another one of the president’s speeches.”
- Donald Trump continually publically challenged that Obama was even a U.S. citizen.
- MSNBC’s Mark Halperin called Obama “a dick” in an interview on The Morning Joe show.
- Rep. Doug Lamborn went on a local radio show and said that being associated with President Obama was like being stuck to a “tar baby.”
- Rep. Joe Wilson yelled out “You lie!” to Obama during a Congressional speech.
- GOP House, prompted by Tea Party-refuses to raise debt ceiling. (Aug 2011) It had been done 69 times since 1962 without incident. 7 times during Bush II and 18 times during Reagan. Suddenly now a new precedent is set a first in American history.
- One term Congressman Joe Walsh announced on national television that he wouldn’t be attending Obama’s September 8th speech.
- The shouts of the Tea party “We want our country back!”
- Former Fox News host Glen Beck declaring on the air that the president “hates white people” and “the white culture”
- Rush Limbaugh saying he wants to see the president fail.
- Congressman Mitch McConnell boldly proclaimed that he wants to be Senate Majority leader to make sure Obama is a one-term president.
- Newt Gingrich referring to Obama as “the food stamp president” and saying that Obama “knows how to get the whole country to resemble Detroit”
- And then there’s this Colorado billboard that depicts President Obama as a gay terrorist, Mexican gangster devil worshipper.
- Or the Iowa billboard that compares him to Hitler.
- Or maybe Hank Williams Jr. comparing him to Hitler in an interview.
Or maybe this youtube video will make it clearer:
I’m sure these aren’t the only examples of the blatant, racist disrespect President Obama has received, just like I’m sure some would say these things aren’t racist at all but I know better. Regardless of his policies, the state of the economy, or the United States as a whole Presidents in this country have always had a level of respect. These and other attacks aren’t political they’re personal.
There’s other Presidents, then there’s President Obama, the Presidential Negro or at least that’s the way some people will always see and react to him just based on the color of his skin. Welcome to The American Way, the more things change the more they stay the same what a shame. It’s tough being black in America regardless of your status, money, or title but I’m sure some people still don’t believe it.
And now I need a drink, because I realize no matter what I or my kids do or accomplish some ignorant people will still go out of their way to try and show us we’re just negroes too. While pointing out that America elected President Obama, The Presidential Negro or at least that’s how he’s treated….

I’m glad God got his back, because all the other is garbage and he’s way above that!!!!!
Did you even read what I said? Wow. Did anyone? Did you even look at the Executive orders in place? Do you think I don’t know how ridiculous this all sounds? I do. Everything you have told me in response is Media fed information. All you have been saying to me is what the majority are telling you. You can’t rely on the majority and no they are not smarter than in WWII. People have much lower I.Q.’s than ever before! You are parroting pure propaganda and you don’t even realize it. People don’t let all this happen. It happens without people noticing. That is hard to understand as well but it is quite genius how it is done. Study how the Manhattan Project worked. No one who worked on the atomic bomb knew that they were building an atomic bomb. It is because of specialization and compartmentalization that this is possible. Using their vast wealth and connections the Elite have turned the world into something like a giant Manhattan Project. Nobody knows what they are contributing to because they have been taught in a way that promotes tunnel vision and decreases critical thinking skills. Our curriculm in school has been heavily controlled since 1902 when Rockefeller started the GEB. What you need to do Samantha is to start questioning yourself more often. Challenge your own beliefs or what you automatically percieve as logical or illogical. You might be surprised at how much of what you think just is…. isn’t so. You are close to breaking free of mental slavery. Question everything including yourself.

@Jan this is actually the first debate I’ve ever commented on. I read what people say but usually just keep the comments and who I agree and disagree with to myself. I didn’t know that Andrew had always did things like this though. Now @Andrew I’m not trying to win an argument all I’m doing is getting all the details to YOUR theory so that I might be able to understand where you are coming from. Its just far beyond anything I’ve ever heard of. Ever. I mean I heard a lot of different people discuss how the world will end but never that. If what you’re saying is true you would also be considering our goverment as communist at some point in time..which here we go back to Hitler..history does repeat itself. Ill give you that. At the same time like I said we have rights and there are too many people that have the knowledge now that those people back when Hitler was alive didn’t so there isn’t anyway that the goverment can do this to the citizens. That’s my view and honestly only some of what you are saying has a point. I mean really why would the goverment want us all in camps? We already work and pay taxes and the banks got bailed out 4 years ago when Bush ruined our country. That’s something that NOBODY can ever change my opinion on. When Clinton was president we weren’t even in half the debt we are now..not even close. Maybe in debt to other countries but not in our own. He knew what he was doing. A republican gets in there and now look where the world is at..this is off topic I know but I guess now I’m going back to the original topic. Before Bush became president the crime rate drug usage and violence weren’t nearly as high as it is now. Bush is also the cause of that. You can’t feed your family because there is no work so the only option is to sell what you have once that runs out you either steal or kill to protect and provide for your family. Again off topic but its the truth..Andrew I really don’t know what else to say because what your preaching goes against everything that we have ever known and there is no way with the intelligent people in our country today that they would let theirselves be controlled by that. Thanks for sharing though.
Whelp My good friend Prima Donna, we’ll have to agree to disagree!
@Janice Q Brown ~ We Agree On A Lot Of Things On Facebook ~ But, Racism Has Been Here Since Time In Memorial & It Will Continue To Be Here Even To Jesus’ 2nd Coming. I Wish It Would End In100 Years.

I’ve been kicked off of ,or my comments get deleted off of, every comment board I enter that is funded by the Corporatacracy! Wonder why so one sided? Maybe I’m touching on something sensitive? or true?
@ Janice glad you can recognize that! Most probably look at how long my comments are and just skip over or give up on reading them and just skim LML!!! 90% don’t even address anything I said HA!
This Was Transparent BEFORE President Obama Came Into Office & Wil Continue To Be When He Leaves Office.

Here’s a good quote to think about.
“Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from depandece back again to bondage.” – Benjamin Disraeli
People know and they are protesting but the groups are so small they get smothered by the giant. I think the major problem you are having is not having a proper perspective as to how huge the giant is. If you don’t watch the news then why are you so swept up in it’s propaganda? The way you stated what Domestic Terrorist is is the exact way “They” want you to decipher it. People are too busy or too involved with mindless entertainment to pay close enough attention. That is a part of their plan as well. Look into the people who own the vast majority of the entertainment industry. We have been okaying the surrender of our rights rapidly over the last decade ever since the Patriot Act was signed into law. Read the redefinition of “Domestic Terrorist” all the way to the end. The constitution is nothing but a piece of paper. I think you should read all of my comments. Did you read the one about us being batteries. Here I’ll copy and paste it so you don’t have to scroll up.
“We are all simply batteries that power the military industrial complex so it can be used to completely subdue the entire world and eventually enslave it. We are all pawns who are funding this unknowingly. The orators job is to trick people into thinking it is the right thing to do by strategically demonizing the “enemy” and making the U.S. actions seem Altruistic in nature.”
You can’t see that the way our media depicts terrorists is propaganda? Our media has embedded reporters who don’t control what they report. Investigate embedded reporters Samantha. They paint a picture for us that satisfies our conscience so we will continue to back wars. Simply working and cooperating in our country is what is funding the massacre of countless innocent people around the world. Most people wouldn’t cooperate if they new that the wars were designed to shift power and wealth to fewer and fewer hands. It is definitely not for our security that is for damn sure! It has gotten to the point that 1% of the world owns 99% of the wealth. With that kind of money you can do virtually anything.
All I can say to do is make a plan to get out of the city as quick as possible. Try to get off the power grid and find a place that has plenty of clean well water and resources like animals, fish, wood, etc. Learn to grow your own food. If what I am saying happens you won’t have rights to get out of the city. The executive orders will go into effect when a national emergency happens (such as earthquake, storm, bomb, dirty bomb, severe financial crisis etc.) I’m not gonna argue whether the emergency will be real or STAGED. Have you ever read the executive orders that are in place Samantha? Here’s a link. http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/eo/femalist.htm Every president since, I believe, Nixon, has signed these in agreement. Once there is an excuse to implement these orders we will be in a Draconian state so to speak. History shows that once a leaders attain this kind of power over their masses they don’t easily relinquish it. Feel free to message me if you would like. I could type for pages and can’t answer everyone’s questions. I definitely have answers for you guys though. You just have to be willing to take the time to discuss them freely without allowing you emotions to take over the debate. Remember I am wasting my time doing this out of concern, not to pretend to be smart like a lot of people on these comment boards do. Let’s find the truth and stop focusing on just winning the arguement. You Dig?
So apparently the people who supposivly know about all of this really don’t care because they aernt doing a thing to get it changed. So really think about it yourself..take a look at reality..
