A Message to Obama: “Being Black Isn’t Your Problem… The Problem Is You Suck!” *Video* - Intellihub News

This week Bob at Drinking with Bob takes aim at President Obama’s recent comments in an interview with The New Yorker in
which he made the claim that one of the main reasons his popularity is
sinking is because he is black and some Americans haven’t gotten over
that.

Here is the excerpt of the interview to which Bob responds in the following video:

Obama’s election was one of the great markers in the
black freedom struggle. In the electoral realm, ironically, the country
may be more racially divided than it has been in a generation. Obama
lost among white voters in 2012 by a margin greater than any victor in
American history.

The popular opposition to the Administration comes largely from older
whites who feel threatened, underemployed, overlooked, and disdained in
a globalized economy and in an increasingly diverse country. Obama’s
drop in the polls in 2013 was especially grave among white voters. “There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black President,” Obama said.

…

“There is a historic connection between some of the arguments that we
have politically and the history of race in our country, and sometimes
it’s hard to disentangle those issues.”
