Barack Obama Tweets Poignant Message About Racism in Wake of Charlottesville Tragedy
The Wrap, Aug 12, 2017, Tim Kenneally

Former chief executive takes a page from Nelson Mandela to offer a message about the nature of hate and love

Following a violent day of protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, former president Barack Obama offered a poignant message about racism on social media Saturday night.

Obama took to Twitter to offer a reflection on the nature of hatred and love, courtesy of Nelson Mandela.

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion…,” the president tweeted in a series of messages. “People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love...for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.’- Nelson Mandela,” Obama concluded.”

Exactly.  Interesting that he would have something to say when the tragedy might have been caused by some white supremacist/alt right adherent, but he is silent when some Black Lives Matter fan shoots a police officer for the hell of it.

When Obama urged his stooges to 'get up in their faces' he never considered that somebody else's stooges might reciprocate.

Either you believe we should all get along or you don't.

I hate to admit this, but Obama was quite clever quoting Nelson Mandela.

Silent?  He openly sides with BLM.

Barry learned all his hate - and who knows what else - from his daddy figure Frank M. Davis.

Yes, I guess you're right.  I do know that  he doesn't care about black on black crime -- such as those murders in his home city of Chicago.  It's sad that he bamboozled so many blacks into voting for him, but in the end he really never cared about them.  Yet, if given a chance to run for president again, they would vote for him.

In every incident involving a white cop/person and a black,  Obama always blamed the white person. He could have done a lot to diminish the racial hatred in the country. Instead, he fanned the flames and used race-baiting scoundrels, like Al Sharpton, to be his advisors on race matters.
Obama's sole intent during his terms was to blame whites for all black problems. This was picked up by his idolators many whom were inspired by Obama to kill cops and whites.
