      You first! The next time an unarmed Black man is murdered by cops, speak up against the next White person who tries to justify it.
      Or better yet. Look at Trump's character and judge likewise instead of supporting and saying "Well, I know he's a jerk but...".

That there will never be a female of color elected to President because the lessons that should have been learned since the founding of this country have been dismissed in the name of toxic masculinity and racist rhetoric. I sure hope those prayers don’t get answered..

      @@leewuanti4327Disagree. Obama cheapened his legacy with that speech. Using skin color and gender in an attempt to guilt black men in to voting for a candidate many find completely unfit. He did not argue on the merits of her character, but on the fabricated story that Kamala “grew up like us” and understands us. That is BS and everyone knows it. His speech was shameless and reads as utter desperation. I doubt it will convince those who have true discernment and wisdom.

      Slavery has existed in many cultures and forms throughout history, and its origins are lost to history. However, here are some factors that contributed to the development of slavery:
      African elites
      African rulers and merchants had been trading enslaved people for goods since the seventh century.
      European demand
      Europeans saw slavery as a vital source of labor for their settlements in the Americas.
      European trade
      Europeans traded goods like firearms and manufactured goods for enslaved people in Africa.
      African collaboration
      African leaders often exchanged enslaved people for goods like alcohol, beads, and cloth.
      Triangular trade
      The trans-Atlantic slave trade was part of a three-part system called the triangular trade.
      Native American enslavement
      Native peoples in North and South America were also enslaved by European settlers.
      The development of slavery was a gradual process, and the status of Black people in the colonies was not clear until the Virginia Slave Codes of 1705 were passed

      The black race has been "chained" to the Democrat Party for over 200 years and Obama's speech clearly clarified this once more as to the degrading of a black man for not voting for a democrat and if so because the candidate is a female.

      I’ll tell when people started to vote based on one’s identity, I can’t speak for local or state elections but nationally it started in 2008. I know of plenty of people who voted for Obama solely based on skin color. The Democrats have been very effective at using identity politics to turn elections into popularity contests. I believe had Trump not won the nomination in 2016 , Hillary would’ve been president based solely on her gender.

My cherished partner, the love of my life, made the difficult decision to part ways, leaving me consumed by thoughts of him. Despite my earnest attempts to win him back, I find myself facing frustration and an overwhelming sense of emptiness , unable to envision a life without his presence.

Because you are a man, especially a Black man should understand the history of voting in the USA and what took place in 2021.
      We have just heard our Haitian brothers and sisters accused falsely eating dogs and cats. He is treating to do mass deportation of immigrants. When do we start caring for our neighbors.
      You speak of private booth voting... but do you care about all the black and brown people whose right to vote is being challenged?
      I have heard many brothers say they are voting for Trump, "because he gave them a cheque"
      We have women dying as they can not receive the lufe saving health care that they need.
      What does it take for our men to get the big picture? Our future would be in the hands of Trump, a man who called for the lynching of young black men. I wish that the safe streets you live on were available to every person in the USA. However, the reality is not so.

In an ideal world, appeals like those which sound tribal in nature would not be a thing. The truth is both parties have their core constituencies to whom they reach out for support. For Trump and the Republican Party it's white evangelicals and for Obama and the Democratic, it's African Americans.

Just as Trump would go to rallies in small towns in ruby red districts, Obama was speaking to the base of the Democratic Party. I think people are demanding more from Obama than they do from Trump who would name-call opponents and disparage black run cities.
      In the instance under discussion, Obama was speaking to an audience of supporters who happened to be black. His comments about black men was him addressing the problem of black men not being seen as standing by their women. Anyone who wants strong family structures in country as a whole need to consider that implication also, although the candidate happened to be a black person. Bear in mind, during the Hilary Clinton campaign, Obama made similar outreach in many places around the country.

    Thank you. As a Christian and an adoptive father of 3 African American children your words are so refreshing. Thank you. God and the people who will really matter and bless you in your life will care a whole lot more about the “content of your character” than the skin that covers our souls. Thank you, my friend.

    Im white, raised 4 white kids and 3 black kids. We’re transparent in our home and as MLK said character is what counts. I’m actually going through a class now on what it means to be in the image of God.
