He took the risk and it didn't pay off and now he looks like a colossal cuckold and that will be quoted for generations. But he had every reason to believe Trump would not win since every media outlet was claiming that to be the case reportquote

That's not true though, since he made similar comments a few times. Here is the infamous quote: You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago. https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2013/07/19/remarks-president-trayvon-martin Ah. And when you look at the full quote of what he's talking about, it makes perfect sense.  You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago. And when you think about why, in the African American community at least, there’s a lot of pain around what happened here, I think it’s important to recognize that the African American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesn’t go away. There are very few African American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me. There are very few African American men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to me -- at least before I was a senator. There are very few African Americans who haven't had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off. That happens often. And I don't want to exaggerate this, but those sets of experiences inform how the African American community interprets what happened one night in Florida. And it’s inescapable for people to bring those experiences to bear. The African American community is also knowledgeable that there is a history of racial disparities in the application of our criminal laws -- everything from the death penalty to enforcement of our drug laws. And that ends up having an impact in terms of how people interpret the case. Now, this isn't to say that the African American community is naïve about the fact that African American young men are disproportionately involved in the criminal justice system; that they’re disproportionately both victims and perpetrators of violence. It’s not to make excuses for that fact -- although black folks do interpret the reasons for that in a historical context. They understand that some of the violence that takes place in poor black neighborhoods around the country is born out of a very violent past in this country, and that the poverty and dysfunction that we see in those communities can be traced to a very difficult history. http://i.imgur.com/ByKGlJb.gif http://i.imgur.com/nZdaA8D.gif http://i.imgur.com/VBLBILg.jpg reportquote

CableZL 1 week ago#37 And so the fact that sometimes that’s unacknowledged adds to the frustration. And the fact that a lot of African American boys are painted with a broad brush and the excuse is given, well, there are these statistics out there that show that African American boys are more violent -- using that as an excuse to then see sons treated differently causes pain. I think the African American community is also not naïve in understanding that, statistically, somebody like Trayvon Martin was statistically more likely to be shot by a peer than he was by somebody else. So folks understand the challenges that exist for African American boys. But they get frustrated, I think, if they feel that there’s no context for it and that context is being denied. And that all contributes I think to a sense that if a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario, that, from top to bottom, both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different. Now, the question for me at least, and I think for a lot of folks, is where do we take this? How do we learn some lessons from this and move in a positive direction? I think it’s understandable that there have been demonstrations and vigils and protests, and some of that stuff is just going to have to work its way through, as long as it remains nonviolent. If I see any violence, then I will remind folks that that dishonors what happened to Trayvon Martin and his family. But beyond protests or vigils, the question is, are there some concrete things that we might be able to do.  I know that Eric Holder is reviewing what happened down there, but I think it’s important for people to have some clear expectations here. Traditionally, these are issues of state and local government, the criminal code. And law enforcement is traditionally done at the state and local levels, not at the federal levels. http://i.imgur.com/ByKGlJb.gif http://i.imgur.com/nZdaA8D.gif http://i.imgur.com/VBLBILg.jpg reportquote

Maybe Obama should have said there was violence on both sides. :p If Zimmerman had violated any law whatsoever, like Antifa did at Charlottesville by not having an assembly permit, this might have slid. They have to have a permit to assemble? I thought the constitution said that it was our right? In Charlottesville, you need a permit to have a mass assembly like that. The Nazis got it, and legally fought all the way to the state Supreme Court to make sure it was allowed. Antifa did not have one. Ergo, it wasn't a legal protest, meaning that Antifa was literally there in violation of the law. So you think the Nazis were the victims there? just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 reportquote

By itself, no - unless an Antifa member punched a Nazi first (and, let's be completely fair here - we all are reasonably sure that Antifa threw the first punch), the Nazis had no right to be physically violent. They sure as s*** had no right to get in a car and run people over, and I hope that dude gets thrown in prison.

I wonder what it's like to be so lacking in common sense as to mistake defending free speech for condoning said speech this is why that one free speech group always got accused of being racist. they always defended the rights of groups like the KKK and people went insane over that. Because some people can't understand that you can be for free speech without being on the same side as the group. and also, another important lesson: if you don't allow free speech for people you hate, then you don;t allow free speech at all. it's all or nothing with free speech.

There was a documented increase in the amount of white supremacist organizations nationwide as well as recruitment and activity during Obama's presidency. I don't think Obama's responsible for it because how the f*** can you blame somebody for living and only simply doing their f***ing job?

He was wrong literally every time. Even if he was wrong every time (which I don't believe he was but whatever), none of that makes him racist. Claiming violent attempted murderers being killed is racism multiple times isn't a red flag to you? Keep in mind that, on this board, anyone who suggests waiting for the evidence of wrongdoing whenever a cop is implicated is branded as a neo-Nazi.

      That_Happened 6 days ago#129 UnfairRepresent posted... The majority of the population of America disagrees with you. No, the majority of conservatives disagree with me. And their pundits are double-standardy as f*** when it comes to calling someone divisive. Obama wasn't actually more "divisive" than any other president before him. He was a Democrat and conservatives hated him because that's what they're trained to do. That "divisiveness" was standard for the nation..half the country voted for the president, the other half did not, repeat over and over. The actual divisiveness over the last 8 years came from the Republican party: Mitch McConnel immediately telling the conservatives to block anything Obama did, just days after he got elected; congressmen yelling "You lie!" at Obama while he's trying to give a speech; Repubs changing their strategy from actually debating the issues to telling their voters that Obama doesn't love America, and that he was "raised differently from Americans"; and all the bulls*** about his birth certificate. That's what caused the division. Republican lawmakers being little b****es instead of grown men. And that set the precedent for the 2016 election. Trump is the first president that is legitimately divisive, where it's not just about politics anymore but about whether this enormous child can hold onto his OWN people. http://fusionanomaly.net/magnoliabutitdidhappen.jpg (edited 6 days ago)reportquote

Because when Obama took office only 46 percent of the nation thought the country was divided, but just a couple months into his presidency that number had risen to 61 percent. That's way before he had an opportunity to do much of anything.
