As Obama Presidential Center comes closer to reality, tensions on race (Black Opp.=racist!)
Chicago Tribune ^ | Feb. 22, 2019 | Lolly Bowen

When Bronwyn Nichols Lodato began pushing to prevent a portion of Chicago’s Midway Plaisance from being developed into a parking garage by the Obama Foundation, she never expected to be criticized as anti-black.

After all, she is an African-American woman who has lived in Hyde Park for more than a decade and is sensitive to both the city’s racial tensions and the needs of her neighbors.

Meanwhile, white Hyde Park residents have been accused of being silent about displacement, affordable housing and unemployment — while using their voices to save birds, butterflies and nature sanctuaries, or to object to longer commute times. And when black residents have voiced their desire to preserve park and green space, they have been told that with all the inequities African-Americans have to deal with, parkland should be the least of their worries.

Heh - when you don't have whitey to demonize, don't hesitate to go after other blacks who don't line up behind you in adoration of The One.

When all is said and done..
Obama was mostly a pest.
A very expensive grade C pest.
Who did more damage to the country than good.
But I guess that was the plan all along.

No, wealthy white liberals hate,hate, hate n*****s.

They use blacks as political props but they don’t want them in THEIR neighborhoods.

Now who is racist?

The whole Plaisance thing is a little silly after 125 years.

Agreed. Like he is even FROM Chicago! I'll never forget how he rode into town and was "elected" due to the incompetence of the Illinois Republican Party. (I'm still mad about it if you couldn't tell ;-)

Obamas center is just going to be a shrine to. Obama. I can’t wait for the TRUMP CENTER. I Hope they purchase the land the DC Newseum is currently vacating. the irony of that would be so rich.

The Obama Center should be in DC, since that’s where he has chosen to live. Perhaps it could lease space from the Islamic Center on Massachusetts Avenue, just a short hop from his Kalorama digs.

I think it should be right in the middle of the country. Maybe Kansas................ Leavenworth would be a good place.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation deserves no monument.

Our entire political class flushed the protections of the natural born citizen clause down the toilet along with the rest of the Constitution.
