Obama Uses Commencement Address to Recall Jim Crow

• I loves me some post racialness under 0bama.

• I watched some of it, and the people behind him look like they were thinking they needed Jim Beam with this guy

• Well the race baiter has come out again. It is always racism when president quagmire is not getting his way or has been caught in yet another lie.

  Yes racism existed in the 40s, 50s, and even today. There is no amount of laws being passed that will ever remove it from this earth. Many minorities are some of the biggest racist I've ever meet. Many feel entitled to be that way. When pressed they don't really have a reason except that their ancestors were discriminated against. Hell mine were treated worse, they came to this country as indentured servants during the potatoe famine in Ireland, others came here from Germany after WWI and were not trusted. Yet I rose above. My parents did not tolearte any signs of discrimination and self pitty.

• I see Quagmire is rewriting history again. The part that sucks is his followers are too stupid to know the difference.

• And which political party passed and enforced Jim Crow laws and attacked blacks or prevented them from voting? Damn Democrats love to forget history.

  • Yeah, exactly - I sorta wish he'd remembered to mention that Jim Crow was the invention of the Democrat Party: http://jpattitude.com/CrookedDemocrats_Timeline.php#JimCrow

    Jim Crow was the Democrat Party's method of grabbing and holding power, and bears remarkable resemblance to what Obama was doing with the IRS. Because they can't win in the arena of ideas, Democrats will always try to regulate their political opponents away.

  • beat me to it. Like the KKK, a complete and total concept of the democrat party.

    • "My fellow americans, I would like to add that the reason I am recalling the Jim Crow laws is because KKK membership have soared tremedously in the last few years.
      Since January 2010, the diverse KKK groups in the US have gained more members than they have from 2009 to the foundation of the original KKK in 1865.
      If we are to stem the hooded menace, we obviously have no other choices but to accelerate America´s inevitable transformation."

      • Don't forget to throw in the completely fake and shocking statistics.

        "Since January 2010, the diverse KKK groups in the US have gained an estimated 832,978 more members."

        Then make sure that these numbers are distributed to every new organization out there, and repeated so often that everyone believes them to be true. THAT's what these commies have been doing for years to push through their damaging legislation. They did it with abortion, and they have done it with the number of "hungry children in America", uninsured people and even the number of unemployed people. And they will do it any time they want something that the majority of Americans are against.

    • That's right, but since the leftists control the education system, those they "educate" will never know the truth. Unless they find out by accident.

  • ... not to mention giving implicit approval to the cold blooded murder of blacks who had the temerity to stand up for their rights- that approval coming in the form of all white juries that again and again acquitted offenders that had been caught red handed and those Democratic political establishments refused to speak out against such blatant injustices... yes, we know all bout Jim Crow and the role your party had in it Mr. Tresodent...

    Yep- the progressives do ignore any history they cannot rewrite.

    • Republicans tried to pass anti-lynching laws four times and the Democrats filibustered it every time. Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act and Johnson signed it. LBJ - on tape - said, "That will have the ni***** voting for us for the next 200 years." The tape is at the LBJ library.
      Oh wait, I forgot. Michelle said they were going to rewrite history. Never mind.

• Gee- I thought his presidency would usher in a post racial era... ah well- yet another LIE....

  Demagogue...

• Here's irony for you: Obama: "As An African American You Have To Work Twice As Hard As Anyone Else If You Want To Get By"

  How would YOU know, Obozo?

  • well, one line kind of explains everything: "But if you stay hungry, if you keep hustling, if you keep on your grind and get other folks to do the same, nobody can stop you."

    Hustling. What exactly does that mean in "street" language? It means "doing anything for a buck". Legal or illegal, moral or immoral - you do anything to take other people's money. Anything except WORK for it, of course. And that is the chicago way, in a nutshell.

• I wonder if he'll break out in tears again when he actually delivers the address.

  • Only if his teleprompter tells him to.

• Read between the lines...

  "I am black like you. If they try to impeach me it's because I am black. It's like they are impeaching YOU. For being black. And yeah, I had more advantages than most white kids do, but I still LOOK like you, so it's like I AM you. Black. Never forget that Whitey hates us. because we are black."

  • LOLOL

  • Excellent point Karmaa. If only those in the black community would wake up and realize that president quagmire is only black when it is to his advantage. Look at his cabinet and his inner circle. Case closed.

    • Oh please! They know the deal and are perfectly comfortable being non racist racists, but talk to one privately, away from the distractions of other blacks and they'll tell you it's just good Kabuki Theatre.

      • Yep. The ones who are not really angry at all white people will tell you that they do it because they can. And who can really blame them? One of my good friends is a black Microbiologist PhD. He most decidedly does not hate white people, having a beautiful white wife and a white mother. But he sure as hell took advantage of ever benefit he was offered for being a "minority". He would have been a fool not to.

        Now he also agrees that maybe all of these things are not good for minorities and should be stopped or scaled back, but as long as they are/were it would put one at a severe DISADVANTAGE to not take them. The same way that white men are at a severe disadvantage because of their so-called "privilege".
