Racism coping includes being harshly judged about every little thing...
Oh you poor little babies. So you, along with the rest of the human population gets "judged". Welcome to the harsh reality of life, where performance is measured and success or failure (ideally) depends upon performance.
I could be wrong, but perhaps the good doctor is confused and thinks Barack’s glutei are brain hemispheres.
“Ancient Africans used both sides of there brain as a team to do critical, rational, poetic, creative, and visionary thinking.”
And he knows this to be true, to be the case, because????
OMG! That is the funniest thing I have ever read.
Obama? the king of Media Manipulating Emotional Pablum and Tear Jerking Hope, ran a no drama campaign!
Who were the Ancient Africans ? How long have the 'black' Africans lived in Africa?
“and overcoming the large numbers of racists”
Obama only had the Dim’s nomination because the vast majority of Black Dim’s were racist in their primary voting - voting, racially, for Obama BECAUSE he is “Black”.
That was not a feat of “overcoming” racists; it played into racism, on the part of Black Democrats.
With so few policy differences between Hillary and Obama, if Black Dim’s had not voted in the hugely, racially polarized manner that they did, dividing their votes more rationally between Hillary and Obama, Obama would never have achieved the Dim nomination.
“In it he summarized his basic plan for dealing with an out of control economy by means of the written and the spoken word while showing a connection to all segments of the USA populationWhite, Black, and Hispanicin a manner that saw the best within them, as opposed to their faults and differences.”
I do not know of any statement or set of statements from Obama that demonstrates the above claim of the author, from anytime in the campaign.
Total number of slaves who died over several centuries during the Middle Passage and were tossed overboard is probably about a million.

Something like three Africans total died for every two who entered slavery in the New World, but most died in Africa or after arrival.
Interestingly, immigrant ships crossing the Atlantic usually had a higher death rate than slave ships. Immigrants had already paid for their passage. The shipowners actually made more money if they died. The only way slavers could get paid was if semi-healthy slaves survived to be sold on the other side of the pond.
Another almost unknown fact about African slavery: less than 5% of slaves shipped across the Atlantic were brought to what is now the US. Yet somehow the US bears primary responsibility for the practice in the eyes of the world. Nobody ever demands reparations from Brazil or Cuba.
Lord Obama is all things to all people, and you take what you want to hear from any and all statements he might or might not make. Just like Chauncey Gardner in Being There.
Not a particularly funny one!
If ancient Africans thought such noble thoughts, they certainly left behind them no evidence of it.
He heard it on National Geographic.
Of course, the Eskimos did too, but since they are white, that wouldn't help the good Dr.'s argument.
The Indians as well.
Matter of fact, it seems that using both sides of the brain was a component of early civilization, and has been all but lost by all modern men, including the good Doctor.
It’s time to end the whining. It’s growing old, very, very old.
Probably, just my opinion, but I think the reason for that is America took a civil war and about a couple of decades to caught up with the rest of the world in outlawing slavery
Nobody ever demands reparations from Brazil or Cuba.
Yeah, I'm waiting for the call for reparation from the African countries where tribal leaders sold their own people into slavery
Slavery is not illegal in 'the rest of the world'.
I still expect a racial "crisis" at some point, that will be "too good to waste." Reparations are on the far horizon.

True, let me clarify: "The rest of the civilized world"
Sounds like "Afrocentric Studies 101." People who can think like Ancient Africans don't need no steenkin' data.
