Sigh. The man was elected President twice and people still feel compelled to tell him to watch his tone…
I watched the speech. He wasn’t “admonishing” anyone, as these idiotic headlines keep saying. He wasn’t belittling anyone, he wasnt being patronizing, he was just trying to relate a specific position and point out why it would not be in their best interest.
Yeah, I don’t get it. I thought what he had to say was, as usual, extremely prescient. I don’t see how any reasonable person would take offense to it.
Thank you for this. I felt something was off, and now I know why.
You must have watched it through the eyes of a white man. I have yet to see any post from the black community that doesn’t see it as him talking down to black men as if he’s the plantation whipper.

“leftist”
If Obama simply drawing a contrast between the two major candidates, and why one candidate is a terrible choice for a specific group of people causes said group to take offense, we’re well and truly fucked.
He’s a black man who has been at the highest office in American politics, so he sure knows what he’s talking about. Seems like his opinion on the matter should be taken into consideration.
Lecturing people into voting is what the Clinton campaign tried in 2016.
