:confusedjagfan:
It was a perfect storm...but imagine this picture on the front page of the tabloids
You can't blame Malia only cause everyone in her status is basically white.I don't think so,I can't imagine Malia ever getting that wakeup call like I'm sure Obama eventually got. You could see early Obama before he hit the mainstream scene didn't really like these cacs. I'm sure Farrakhan and Malcolm were heros of his at some point. Just goes to show you how success and money makes the majority of black folks do a 180 on their so called dislike of white supremacy,the words they speak with suddenly become a little less harsh,they become a little more forgiving
This is why you can only take militant words with a grain of salt,you really have to begin to ask so called "militants" when did they ever reject a seat at the white supremacy table. Many blacks speak in anger because they simply want a spot in the club house.
And i gave this guy major props until seeing he was just afraid of Farakhan lol,he still gets props though.
You know damn well Michelle and Barack want her to "snap out of it"
Dude.
Obama LITERALLY gave a prime time speech to address the fact that Rev Wright said something.
Thank about how crazy that is.
In 2007, this was a HUGE issue. Obama had to get off the campaign trail to address Rev. Wright.
That shyt was a HUGE moment and anyone will tell you that.
White media doesn't care about context. Are you stupid motherfukker? My dude...you can't be this fukking naivenah breh
theres absolutely 0 context to this photograph. Its just a picture
he woulda just distanced himself from Farrakhan in some cassic politician manner just like any1 else would if they had to
Its just not that serious
The photographer still a real one. He did good by staying on code like he shouldve
but it aint neary as crazy as yall trying to make it out to be
Stop thinking like a sensible human being and start thinking like a white supremacist.
Thats your problem...its that you're not thinking about this how THEY would think about this.
nikka could have asked for a billion dollars and the koch brothers would have paid that man in euros.

Remember. Obama got with Michelle AFTER the white woman rejected him. A couple of times. I believe 100% Michelle wants Malia and Sasha to date and marry a black man. But I dunno about Barack. He may pretty much be like
or 
So?
His mother was white
His grandparents who raised him was white
You can't blame the dude for trying to find himself.

most ppl with a brain dont take them seriously at all. Its to a point that fox news etc has become a parody of itself
With THIS picture, back in 08 i think Obama was in a place where enough americans had decided they were ok with choosing him as the candidate to go with..as they were disillusioned with bush & republican leadership enough so 1 pic wouldnt be enough to take him down
However in 2016 after 8 years of a black man in a high office visual effect i think enough (white) people were fed up with having to see his impeccable swag and composure that they would take anything white even if it was to their detriment, hence Trump
its the same vicious cycle back and forth complete waste of time of a political process purgatory we been stuck in for decades
why u so mad breh
you mad worked up right now
If its that serious to u take that enegy and go do something constructive with it
making 48 threads a day on the coli and cursing out every poster isnt gonna change america
relax

I was in the NOI at the time and one of my uncles(by marriage) was and is part of Minister Farrakhan's security. This was known about for years but like others said it was kept on the low because everyone knows that the the media would have used this against then Senator Obama during primary and general election in 2008 and throughout his presidency. Obama sought the NOI's support in Chicago during his state Senate run and U.S. Senate run. My uncle was kind of hot at Obama for distancing himself from him in 2008 but Farrakhan checked him and told them that Obama becoming president was bigger than him(Farrakhan) and to look at the bigger picture and to support Obama.
Would it have caused Obama the election? Possibly but we'll never know. Pretty much every black politician or some time of activist in particular in Chicago will come break bread with the Minister. Not because they need permission or or whatever but because Farrakhan is like a OG of sorts.

The photographer talked with Tucker Carlson 
the congressional black caucus are the ones behind the picture being hidden.

WSJ OpEd says this picture would have made Hilary president in 2008. They equate it to republicans meeting David Duke.

Hillary Clinton tried to make Louis Farrakhan an issue when she ran against Barack Obama in 2008. The Nation of Islam leader—infamous for calling Judaism a “gutter religion”—had praised the future president as “the hope of the entire world.” In a February debate, Mrs. Clinton demanded that Mr. Obama reject Mr. Farrakhan’s support, insisting: “There’s a difference between denouncing and rejecting.” Mr. Obama obliged and added: “There’s no formal offer of help from Minister Farrakhan that would involve me rejecting it.”
Three years earlier, Mr. Obama posed for a photo with Mr. Farrakhan at a Congressional Black Caucus gathering. The photographer, journalist Askia Muhammad, told the liberal site Talking Points Memo that a CBC staffer contacted him “sort of in a panic” about the photo. “I promised and made arrangements to give the picture to Leonard Farrakhan, ” Louis Farrakhan’s son-in-law and chief of staff. But he kept a copy, which he released last week.
Mrs. Clinton might have become president had the photo come out a decade earlier. It isn’t clear from the photo to what degree Mr. Obama was associated with Mr. Farrakhan. But the Congressional Black Caucus’s association is scandalous. Its members have met with Mr. Farrakhan on at least one other occasion.
On Jan. 13-14, 2006, the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity held hearings in New Orleans and Gulfport, Miss., on the federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina. After the New Orleans hearing, at least four CBC members headed to St. Augustine Church to meet Mr. Farrakhan, who had attended part of the hearing.
In a video posted to YouTube in 2009, Reps. Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee of California, Al Green of Texas and William Jefferson of Louisiana can been seen exchanging hugs and handshakes with Mr. Farrakhan, then talking with him about coordinating their public responses to Katrina.
After praising the representatives for their performance at the hearings, Mr. Farrakhan says: “Tell me how I can be of service.”
Ms. Waters responds: “I think we need to get together and talk about how we’re going to put New Orleans on the national agenda.” (I emailed Ms. Waters’s press secretary Tuesday to ask if such a meeting ever took place. The press secretary replied that Ms. Waters was traveling and unable to answer.)
Mr. Jefferson, who represented New Orleans, explains to Mr. Farrakhan how difficult it is to get colleagues from elsewhere in the country interested in Katrina relief.
Mr. Farrakhan tells the group that “this is where the battle lines need to be drawn,” but “without a force that makes, that creates the political will,” their efforts would be wasted. The video ends with Mr. Farrakhan describing Katrina as a judgment from God, akin to the biblical plagues.
Mr. Farrakhan went much further in a sermon titled “A People Robbed and Spoiled,” which he delivered that weekend at St. Augustine Church. “Your problem is you are not now nor have ever been a citizen of the United States of America,” he told the congregants. “You are a slave to white America. It bothers me to hear you crying how you’re an American but they treat you like a slave. It bothers me that you are willing to fight and die for something that is not willing to sacrifice nothing for you.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies Mr. Farrakhan as a “black separatist” and the Nation of Islam as a hate group. Alan Dershowitz reacted to the Obama-Farrakhan photo by saying he would not have campaigned for Mr. Obama had he known about it: “There must be zero tolerance for anti-Semites, whether they are David Duke or Louis Farrakhan. No one should associate with either. The suppression of that photo is disgraceful.”
He has a point. If Republican lawmakers were holding strategy sessions with Mr. Duke, their party would rightly be held to account. Why shouldn’t the Democrats and the Congressional Black Caucus be held to the same standard?
