Is President Obama Among The Greatest Black Men Ever?

This idea is too stupid to waste disk space.

[Gaffer]

The greatest black man ever will be the SECOND black President of the USA. It is because Barack Hussein Obama has proven to be one big ass mistake that was borne of white guilt, color blind liberal ideology, black racism, and manipulation by outside sources who wish only to destroy this country.

Should we EVER get rid of him, it will take one exceptional American who happens to be black to regain our trust, my trust, the trust of honest people everywhere.

Booker T. Washington belongs in the most honored group of black men.

Greatest flim flam man maybe

No way in Hell is he even close to the greatness of others who have gone before him. Let’s take Crispus Attucks for one, along with Frederick Douglass, as well as all the black men who put on a uniform and fought for their country through all its conflicts and wars. South Carolinian slave Robert Smalls stole the Confederate ship “Planter” that he was piloting, and brought it safely to the Union Navy. Not only did he later serve in both the U.S. Navy and Army, but he was the founder of the Republican Party in S.C., and one of the first black men to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. They might not have been men, but Sojourner Truth has more greatness in her little finger than Obama, and Harriet Tubman’s greatness far surpasses anything Obama could lay claim to. An escaped slave herself, she repeatedly put herself in harms way to help other escape to the North. I highly doubt Barack Obama knows much about black history, or the people who paved the way for him. He’s a classless, clueless dip$hit.

“How do we properly contextualize President Obama in black American history?”

How about we "contextualixe" him in American history, and jettison the racial garbage.

And the context is, he's a Marxist, and an abortionist, and a racist ... and more than half of Americans who could be bothered to vote, voted for the bastard ... knowing full well exactly what he is.

Black?
According to his birth certificate, he’s category 9, and if category 9 then he’s his mother’s race, white.

[GSWarrior]

If he is, I demand a recount.

[jakota]

Pond Scum comes closer to describing this tyrant.

[shotdog]

If we accept the premise that success is conferred through positive accomplishments, then this individual is sorely lacking. The plus column is devoid. sd

Agree.

[org.whodat]

A blackman that I was in the airforce with passed a few months ago, I would put him well ahead of obummer.

[Iron Munro]

He is the most GRATING half-black man around.

[Iron Munro]

I wonder how the media would rate him.

Post intelligent to what? There is not an intelligent word in the headline. I couldn't even read the article, the headline gave me a headache from laughing so hard.

General Daniel "Chappie" James Jr. United States Air Force fighter pilot, became the first black American to reach the rank of four-star general in 1975. And he earned every one of those stars, no affirmative action crap whatsoever. He was a patriot, ditto for his son who followed in his footsteps after his Dad died of a heart attack in '78.

"General James was widely known for his speeches on Americanism and patriotism, for which he was editorialized in numerous national and international publications. He was awarded the George Washington Freedom Foundation Medal in both 1967 and 1968. He received the Arnold Air Society Eugene M. Zuckert Award in 1970 for outstanding contributions to Air Force professionalism."

Rest in Peace General.

He's not even the greatest black man currently in DC.
