The “Arab” heritage is probably where he gets his work ethic.

“As an African-American you have to work twice as hard”

That cliche is such a fallcy that people midlessly parrot without thinking about it because it’s politically correct and fashionable.

The sad part is that many (if not most) black people really do think that white people have it so easy. They think we all lead these lives free of financial concern, and it was just handed to us because we’re white.

Obama tells Morehouse graduates he has a 'special obligation' to help less-fortunate black people

Does this include his brother that lives in the 10 x 10 hut in his native Kenya?

That is the very truth!

The only thing stopping the average person of color from succeeding is their dereliction and laziness in finding out about the special set-asides, preferences and getting in-the-know from their peers about how to work the system.

Most any university HR department has already been infiltrated by their brethren; they only need show up for an interview with proper attire to get a good job with benefits. I've seen 30 years of this.

Yeah right.
Who benefits from affirmative action in college admissions and scholarships; and in corporate America hiring patterns?
Not the middle income kid from small town Iowa.

There are lot’s of hard working people of every race and ethnicity certainly.
But having the right skin color certainly brings certain advantages.

The “hosts” need to stop funding these parasitical institutions.

Times like this I am reminded of the Little Rock Central High desegregation back in the 1950s, how black students had to run a gauntlet of KKK and various people out to KILL them.

Many years later, in the mid 1990s, a female student came back and gave a speech in the classes on what she went through. She noticed most of the BLACK children had their heads on the desk, not listening.

She then realized...she had put her life on the line, so black students could go to white schools, put their heads on the desk, and refuse to learn.

and how, given different opportunities, he could have ended up in prison

Well given all his current scandals, there's still hope

This man and his wife have set race relations back by 50 years, maybe more.

Then why haven't you, ZerO? Your policies have done nothing but harm "less-fortunate black people".

After, what?... 30 PLUS years of affirmative action, if you don’t have a better car, house, education, medical coverage, favored status at the bank, priority in court, etc. than I do, where the he*# have you BEEN?

Those who DID work twice as hard have done away with the need to “get by”, and are being tax-raped like everyone else.

The people “picking up” at the food bank tend to have newer cars than those “dropping off”.

“... he could have ended up in prison or unemployed...”

Still a likely scenario!!

And “O” certainly does everything he can, every day of his life to QUALIFY for this alternative!
