Obama was blessed with great oratory and charisma skills that overcame the arguments about his skin color. Plus he benefited from the failing economy. Half of congress refused to work with him. Does that disqualify any future African American from being president? Most likely not. (603)

The media worshiped him, crazy to claim they destroyed him. (39)

America is ready for a competent president; skin color doesn't matter. (2901)

This is what I'd love to say, as a person of color. Did you know, despite there being plenty of true white allies, it's been decades since a presidential candidate won both the majority of the white vote and the majority of the black vote? There is enough subconscious racism that a majority of whites bought into narratives with origins of โ€œit's unconstitutional to specifically target blacks so we will target the poorโ€ like the following (which now hurt all Americans):- the idea that you've got to work a minimum amount to deserve healthcare. Or why we don't have national healthcare, loads of people in medical debt, and Medicaid has a work requirement. This still hurts black people disproportionately, as they are less likely to be hired when equally qualified for jobs, but there is no question it hurts all non-rich Americans to have your insurance be tied to your job.- the idea that we need a war on drugs. Despite explicitly being started to hurt two groups, hippies and African Americ... (0)

The question is if we're ready for a black president. The whole process of getting a president into office is not the question. And if a president takes the seat, as long as that person is competent, it does not matter what this person looks like. The question poses as if a president is already in place, and if we're ready for the person to be black.And since Obama was president for 8 years, I think we can conclude that a black president is certainly possible again.And extreme neo-nazis are an extremely small group. And while slavery was most certainly evil, it was certainly mostly oppurtunism (cheap labor, money, ease of access, the normality of it in society at the time, and it being legal) that made people do it. Not everyone, and certainly not in this modern era, has hate in the heart for other groups. (-4)

This is an extremely inaccurate attempt at a retelling of history. Racism was embedded in colonial laws, continued into the Dred Scott decision, where the Supreme Court held blacks had no rights a white man was bound to respect, continued into homicidal voter suppression, like the Colfax massacre, continued into Jim Crow, lynchings and segregation under Plessy v Ferguson. The best argument you possibly could have is that racism ended in 1954 when Brown v. Board of education desegregated schools, but to make that case you'd have to ignore a number of facts. School desegregation continued into the 80s. Blacks are disproportionately stopped, searched, arrested and sentenced today. Black marijuana smokers are 400% more likely to be arrested than white marijuana smokers. So the concept that slavery had little to do with race, and the implicit concept that slavery was the only racist institution in America is just completely ahistorical. (6)

The main reason why Obama was โ€œ controversial โ€œ was because white Americans, Latinx Americans, and Asian Americans haven't done the work in their collective communities to deal with bigotry and jealousy against others. Obama didn't do a single specific thing for black Americans yet at every chance conservatives before the election and even after kept saying things like Obama was going to put white Americans into slavery. They think black Americans hate them as much if not more because they know how messed up and straight criminal actions many white Americans have committed towards blacks. From individual Americans to government officials, white supremacy has lead to a worse America for all Americans. From things like 90% of all public pools closing because they couldn't keep them segregated to the government not allowing black Americans to get land through the homestead act, red lining, and Jim Crow. The main reason why America still doesn't have universal healthcare is because... (2)

He was below average. He was incredibly weak on the international stage, and was middling on the domestic matters until he threw that molotov cocktail of a "Mike Brown could have been my son" statement without waiting for any details to come like the fact the idiot tried to grab the cops fricking gun and cursed the country with racial bullshit.

I'll give him a pass on the Fast and Furious ATF thing because ATF is just so incompetent its not fair to fully blame that on Obama.

The media worshiped him, crazy to claim they destroyed him.

When people on the left talk about the media, they mean Fox News. When people on the right talk about the media, they mean everything else.

Fox has by far the largest ratings and they certainly aren't the only right wing network. Liberals in general are just a lot less likely to watch cable news for starters

If ๆพณๅคงๅˆฉไบš (Australia) were to wage war against China, the Chinese people would win. Australia has a weaker military than China and would get absolutely demolished. ๆพณๅคงๅˆฉไบš is for the Chinese, all the whTe angoids will go extinct or get deported back to Engand where they belong and suck some Arab/Paki peepee.

Can ๆพณๅคงๅˆฉไบš really stand up to this? Austraians would get killed off one by one in a war and a mass genocide happening will occur with the scum whTe angoids. The result? The result would be a worse outcome for the Austraians than Gallipoli. All the whTe angoids will suffer a much worse fate than Gallipoli. This is the grim reality of ozcrackers. The Chinese will finish the job the Turks started. It's already happening, we are just waiting for the first bullet to be fired and you Austraians are done for. You either stay and get killed by Chang, or get deported and set sail back to Engand. Your choice.

ๆพณๅคงๅˆฉไบš rightfully belongs to the Chinese. ๆพณๅคงๅˆฉไบš is located in the Asian sphere of influence, it is rightfully ours for the taking. You are many, many miles away from your Motherland. I suggest you go back to your cave in Engand where you all belong. ๆพณๅคงๅˆฉไบš was illegally taken from the natives that you took advantage of and manipulated like the scheming jws you are. There's a reason why the Austraian and Bng shitposter meme image has a hook nose similar to a jw. Give back ๆพณๅคงๅˆฉไบš to the superior Chinese
