Obama’s "A Promised Land" Book Discussion Thread

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Yeah it's a great book so far and I would suggest getting the audible version. You can tell Obama is coming from an authentic place but he ultimately comes across as idealistic.

Idealism has always been his gift and his curse. His story is so unique and many people have helped him, all shades of the rainbow. That's his blind spot though. Occam's razor type shyt with these racists. They show us, time and time again. Believe what your eyes are telling you and not beneath the surface at times.

I’m about to cop the audio but I already know what to expect. Obama is a great campaigner, but he is out of touch. Especially when it relates to Black issues.

Obama's interpretation of the Reverend Wright thing really highlights the fact that he is mixed raced and that he is not ADOS. You can tell that he believes in the inherent "goodness" of white people for the lack of a better word. It's almost as if he thinks racist whites could can be reasoned with.

I’m an “ADOS” but believing a race is inherently anything is ignorant and flat out wrong. Every person regardless of race is capable of making their own decisions.

I love how Obama is like “Well, look...” when he gets pressed.

Anyone that read the early chapters about Barack and Michelle's marriage. He mention he started coming home more. Low-key is dude hinting at an affair at some point like on some reas between lines shyt.

Chapter 11 Obama on the stimulus is telling. Why didn't he just end the filibuster

I wish Obama said that shid in 2010 after the BP Oil spill.

If he had that energy his whole term, probably don't get the fascistic idiot in 2016

bro I mean seriously! I've been beating the drum like a wild man for years and he just drops this gem in our laps.

It's the most useful guidebook ever to illustrate how terrible his upbringing and presidency were.

I can just quote his memoir now instead of quoting a "political aide" in an obscure 2012 politico article.
