Why does Barack Obama scold black boys?

[Easy-E]

It's been a while since I've sat and watched him speak and my goodness I hate that "Uncle Barack" act.

This was always his job--police the negroes.



And we give him a pass because he gets a shape-up at the barber.

Those people are bathing in bottle water and this dude...mannn....

 

[DUCKED_OFF]

He should talk more about his racist ass grandma

 

[Starman]

This sort of thing is cringe inducing enough coming from one of our own, but coming from a non #ADOS, it's just unacceptable.

 

[I Really Mean It]

This was always his job--police the negroes.

This is the job of every black man and women given a microphone and granted a few minutes on the world stage. Any one who goes off the script is pegged as crazy, difficult, or railroaded with trumped up charges. We are prisoners in a global system of white supremacy. The idea that a "black" man would be allowed to occupy the highest office on the planet and lecture white people about their evil system is comedy.

He is a white man with a Kenyan father. Ya'll can think blackness comes in your DNA and you will be disappointed.

Again, not a "ADOS versus The World" statement--so, don't try it.

The man was raised by white people all over the world.

His claim to blackness in and of it's self is paternalistic ("charity" in Chicago inner cities).

No one should be surprised.

He went to a fukking college graduation and talked to a bunch of graduates like he was speaking at a juvenile dentition center.

He doesn't respect black men.

It’s get tiring to keep having to break out of these societal/matrixes.

We are the only group of people who can see when the world is trying to brainwash us and then gaslight it

 

[Serious]

Black men are the scapegoats of everything wrong in the world and the narrative is the same across racial, gender, and political lines. That's why I do what's in my and men who think and look like me's best interest, fukk what anyone else thinks about it.

i find myself bumping this classic shyt:

It's exhausting. We're the moral majority, the core of what's decent and right in this world. White supremacy is a global evil and we're the only ones willing to stand up to it. It becomes doubly painful when someone who is supposedly black lectures us about how to deal with being black in this society. fukk Obama.

The amount of shyt obama got away with justjbecause he was the first black American president and "charismatic" was

They world hates black people for standing for human rights. Cacs have always worshipped people like cincinnatus (which Cincinnati is named after) who violently opposed working class rights.

If they get rid of us, the world will plunge into straight feudalism.. the movie elysium.

I know you don't mean to, but, that comes off as an excuse. If he gave a fukk, he'd go kamikaze for those four years and said fukk eight. But, he didn't. He did everything that bankers told him.

It wasn't global white supremacy or The Man.

EVERY EASY "Pro-black" take, he took 'Travyvon could've been my son' (then said absolutely nothing about the media demonizing him for being murdered).

When it comes with backing that rhetoric with the power of the Executive Office, he never wanted to. He never wanted to.

Barack Obama's Morehouse Moment | HuffPost

President Barack Obama visited Morehouse College on a rainy Sunday afternoon to give a refrain on the responsibility of Morehouse Men and black America to find dignity and progress in self-reliance, a refrain that has simultaneously proven exciting and excruciating for African Americans over the last four years.

"We’ve got no time for excuses — not because the bitter legacies of slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they haven’t. Not because racism and discrimination no longer exist; that’s still out there. It’s just that in today’s hyperconnected, hypercompetitive world, with a billion young people from China and India and Brazil entering the global workforce alongside you, nobody is going to give you anything you haven’t earned. And whatever hardships you may experience because of your race, they pale in comparison to the hardships previous generations endured — and overcame."
​

Again, this guy said all this and still believed we never deserved any direct action to address this.

For instance; HBCU's are languishing (Bennett College for example), Black unemployment is still bad, Black Homeownership (our primary source of wealth) is at a 55 year low.

"Nobody cares how tough your upbringing was. Nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination. And moreover, you have to remember that whatever you've gone through, it pales in comparison to the hardships previous generations endured -- and they overcame them. And if they overcame them, you can overcome them, too," he said.

Obama to new grads: "No time for excuses" - CNNPolitics

Again, he said this to the most prestigious HBCUs and men's college graduates.

A lot of you suffer from black victimization which creates a fake outrage complex. The centuries of slavery, discrimination, and oppression has created a victimization complex in some of you where you take offense to the slightest "criticism" (or simply pointing out flaws in the culture) and attack the person out of defense and fragility. Otherwise known as the black defense wall. It may sound like a hurtful thing to say, but it's true unfortunately.

Part of mentoring youth is telling them what they shouldn't do. And that involves pointing out flaws in the culture to steer someone away from those flaws. My father use to say similar things to a black youth child he mentored and to other black youth he mentored. Because either they were embracing those flaws, or they had friends who embraced those flaws, or simply to give knowledge on what to do and what not to do. A lot of the people in My Brother's Keeper came from environments where issues like this needs to be addressed.

But hey, it's just insults and scolding and blah blah blah.

 

[Easy-E]

Very sad how Feminism has hijacked Black male plight and turn it on its head. Obama comes from a different era where men didn't necessarily need to flaunt their prowess..."Strong and silent"...

But anything in the realm of positivity is seen as "Scolding and talking down to"....

Ok, I’ve been “scolded” by black elders that aren’t related to me. I needed that as well. I’ve been “scolded” by teachers too. I guess it all depends on how you are raised honestly and that depends on who your parents are. Some kids are born into very unfortunate circumstances. If elders don’t scold them the system will.

Any of those elders the former President of the United States?

I bet those elders actually didn't something for the advancement of your life. Something tangible.

Because, Barack may as well be your drunk uncle getting at you about your grades and always asking you for money.

The fact of the matter is he's doing this shallow ass look at black men and boys and passing it off as deep.

It's 2019, you think you should help black boys deal with "Black Men Are Trash" rhetoric constantly spewed?

Any thing about the rise in black male suicide?

The unemployment rate for young black men, in 2016, for 40% in 35 major cities. Anything on how that may reflect in our expression of masculinity?

Hell, over the last 30 years, polls have show black men are more progressive than white women---the same white women that value power of white men over "supporting" over white women and have had supreme influence of this country. NOBODY is trying to make white women less racist or power hungry.

But, no, I fukking Harvard Law grad boils it down to stop being flashy, it isn't all about getting bytches, stay in school, etc.

And he has the power to normalize black engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc., in a real way, but, he did not, because he doesn't care to do much but talk...like ya'll mad at.

Homework; name any kids, men actually in college or employed with the help of MBK. It's gonna be hard because the program isn't funded and mostly a vanity program for boys "of color."

Agree but I think what people are annoyed is Obama’s overtly paternalistic approach given hus upbringing and background. Which comes as condescension from AADOS given he is not AADOS.

However, even AADOS leaders who speak out even with the best intentions are quickly labelled as c00ns.

Bill Cosby has more support after he was found guilty of sexual assault than when he was criticizing certain aspects of the black American community.

So this makes me think that Obama not being AADOS is just an excuse for some people to dig their heels.

I personally feel that black women need to take a step back on the conversation about boys and have more men speak up. There is already an undercurrent feeling that BW monopolize the conversation too much in respect to black boys.

So I personal more male leaders need to take a more lead on this subject. I suspect women feel more comfortable doing it because often they are the ones raising them alone.

But I do think black men taking that lead is needed and better the image of the absentee black father that is already very prevalent.

What does scolded even mean. What does "shaming" mean in this context? At what point do we talk about personal responsibility and what we as a community can do...which, yes, includes making good financial decisions (not buying jewelry/Jordans/etc if you can't afford them)? This isn't a Bill Cosby moment, where someone is being disrespectful and downright antagonistic towards blacks while criticizing them.

Save your breath. People only listen to speeches to rip them apart. If they don't agree with everything they agree with nothing. It's the internet
