The Thrill Is Gone: Barack Obama's Scolding Of Black Men Torched By Prominent African Americans

Posted • October 12, 2024: Former president Barack Obama, the man who salvaged Joe Biden from the ash heap of political history (an unfortunate move which in turn sadly revived Kamala Harris’ DOA career), continued with his unifying ways Thursday by shaming black men who don't think that Harris is a great choice for commander-in-chief. It reminded me of Joe’s infamous line, if you don’t vote for me, then “you ain’t black.” -- Obama: “And you're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I've got a problem with that. 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… That's not acceptable.” -- Do it my way or hit the highway: He sounds like a mob boss.

Just disgusting, divisive rhetoric from the man who said in his first acceptance speech, “We have never been a collection of red states and blue states; we are, and always will be, the United States of America.” Unless you disagree with him, of course. I’ve always hated the left’s use of the word “community.” The “black community,” the “LGBTQ community.” As if, just because people have one thing in common, they all have the same viewpoints on everything. Is there a “white community?” A “heterosexual community?” Sure enough, it turns out that plenty of blacks were capable of their own thoughts and found the former president’s remarks to be belittling and deeply obnoxious. […] I’m obviously not a Bernie Sanders fan, but his former campaign co-chair and former Democrat Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner nevertheless had it right when she asked, "Why are Black men being belittled?" She absolutely nukes Obama’s race-baiting narrative and stuns the CNN hosts in the process:

“Black woman destroys all the arguments from CNN: Why are our black men being lectured to? Why are our black men being belittled? Nina Turner went off on Obama. • You could see it in some of their eyes; they didn’t expect what she said.” -- The reactions from the CNN crew are some of the most priceless I've ever seen. Truth is being spoken to them, and they absolutely cannot handle it. (…)
