PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life as an African American you have to work twice as hard as anyone else if you want to get by.

Interesting statement considering Obama just drifted through lift, grifting off the government and liberal guilt and never worked a job in his life except at Baskin Robbins.

So, Mr. Obama, why are you making so many blacks unemployed with your idiotic anti-business policies?

Our thin skinned mulatto posing as President has never worked hard in his life.

I know some fine black people who have, but he is not one of them.

Obama: "As An African American You Have To Work Twice As Hard As Anyone Else If You Want To Get By At Golf."

"For example, I've had to golf twice as much as my predecessor before me."

I posted a political cartoon from 1866 here and it got pulled by the mods. Basically it was showing that the Freeman’s Bureau of 1866 was taking government money to keep former slaves not working, but living on the sweat of the brow of the white man.

It was brutal!

Obama is basically saying, give up...skate. Take welfare.

Why work twice as hard for nothing when you can rig the system and skate.

So says the first Affirmative Action Resident. All you have to do is show up, let the white folks put you in, and give you someone behind the scenes who will pull all the strings. All you’ll have to do is golf and vacation.

...says the affirmative action president.

I have no doubts that a lot of African American folks have had to work harder for the same over the years..

But Bronco Bama wasn’t one of them.

He acts like he’s still running for office.

(1) He didn’t work twice as hard. He was given the red carpet all his life by liberals because he’s 1/2 black and has an islamic name.

(2) Blacks don’t have to work twice as hard. They’re landing all the do-nothing government jobs. Very few whites get these opportunities when black candidates are available. It doesn’t matter who’s more qualified.

“As An African American You Have To Work Twice As Hard As Anyone Else If You Want To Get By.”

You produce in proportion to your effort and to your thought. I prefer to think twice as hard as anyone else, to get by.

Why do we NEVER see a statistic that shows what percentage of the black population is on public assistance? (or worse, working for the government)

You always hear about that there are more white people than black people but NEVER a figure of what percentage OF white people (or black, or Mexican, etc.)
