Barack Obama Shares That Both His Daughters Participated in BLM Protests This Summer
Bianca Betancourt ^ | 11/25/2020 | Harper's Bazaar

Barack Obama has been sharing more insight into life with his family while promoting his newest memoir, A Promised Land. In a new cover story for People, the former president revealed that his daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama, both participated in racial justice demonstrations earlier this year.

According to President Obama, they "felt the need to participate" in the nationwide protests that took place following the unjust murders of Black Americans including George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, and wanted to be part of the resounding call for justice.

"I didn't have to give them a lot of advice because they had a very clear sense of what was right and what was wrong and [of] their own agency and the power of their voice and the need to participate," he said of his daughters. "Malia and Sasha found their own ways to get involved with the demonstrations and activism that you saw with young people this summer, without any prompting from Michelle and myself, on their own initiative."

He continued, "They didn't do it in a way where they were looking for limelight. They were very much in organizer mode," adding, "I could not have been prouder of them."

The former president also shared that though his girls, who are now both in college, have seemingly inherited a bit of his organizing spirit, he doesn't envision them branching out into politics in the near future but rather sees them being "active citizens."

"They're reflective of their generation in the sense they want to make a difference and they think about their careers in terms of: How do I have a positive impact? How do I make the world better?" he said. "What particular paths they take in doing that, I think are going to change and vary between

Black Lives Matter is a marxist group with a catchy phrase. It promotes a violent color revolution that ignores facts and celebrates criminal behavior in the black community.

“...have seemingly inherited a bit of his organizing spirit,”

Hate to tell you this, but Barack hasn’t organized anything in his sorry life. He’s been told what to do by his puppet masters since Kenya.

Somebody get those girls into therapy NOW!. They may be salvageable.

The nightmare is that these two highly privileged children of riches and power are going to try to convince us that they are downtrodden and oppressed as they enter a world of politics in a few years.

Forgive me for what I’m about to say, but in all honesty,
That photo is a cute picture. This is how typical siblings like to ‘play tough’ here and there.

That said, I hope their Dad is directly implicated in coming Voter Fraud disclosures. This may get Obama to go back under his rock and stay there for a few more years.
Right now, he’s doing what amounts to a Socialist’s Victory Lap, assuming Biden will be sworn in.

Huh, you’d think with his money they would not have to loot electronics stores or other private businesses.

I disagree. I think the younger one is attractive. Of course, she doesn’t look like Barack, not sure the rumors that he is not her real father.

There are American black ladies and gentlemen. Many have bought into the idea of getting educated and fitting in; some who have willingly fought and died for the American freedom, liberty and rights value set.... and then there are common un-American trash.

Here we see that the fruit doesn’t fall far from the obamain, marxist-muslim, death to America tree.

Did we, the taxpayers, have to pay for Secret Service protection for these two little commie brats while they participated in domestic terrorism? Is that legal? We all know that Odungos could care less about little trivial things like legalities.

They will be loved by MSNBC and the View.
