It mean he didn't get your daughter pregnant...again
What would the Republicans done if Obama would have said this?
They were furious that Obama said he would be open to talking to North Korea and here we are a few years later and the tune has really changed, hasn't it?
Obama once said...........?
Marx said it first and no it won't fix America.
Should I let my son play football?
My son is 16 and has been playing football for a while. He's had 2 concussions and a broken collarbone and wrist. But he loves playing football and he's very good at it. Football has ended for him this school year and he's already training for next year. I feel like if I keep letting him play I'm being a bad mom and just letting him get hurt. But it's his favorite thing to do.
What did Obama do or say that conservatives claim was race baiting?
He made it impossible for white Americans to ignore race as an issue.White racists — as I’m sure you’ve noticed if you’ve been on Quora for any amount of time — are infuriated that anyone would want to discuss racial issues in the USA at all. In their minds, the topic should end at “There’s no problem” and that’s that. And it didn’t help that President Obama was brilliant, mature, wise, a good leader and a dedicated family man. All those black stereotypes exploding in front them were a terrible shock. And everyone else could see it happening! Damn! Racists had to do something. Being not as bright as President Obama, they resorted to making shit up. Wasn’t even very good shit.They even resurrected the term “race-baiting” from its original meaning and stuck a new one on it (they’re good at that; look at how they changed the definition of“fake news” from “entirely fabricated news” to “news I don’t like”).I expand a bit in this answer from a couple of months ago:Katherine Bailey's answer to Why do conservatives hold Obama responsible for the racial divide?In sum — he didn’t ‘race bait’ in either the original or new ‘improved’ sense.
Why Did Obama Tell 200,000 People in Germany His Father was a Sheep Herder?
Obama lied in 2004 at the Democratic Convention when he said his father was a Sheep Herder. Now he said the same lie to 200,000. people in Europe. Obama's father came from a wealthy ans was highly educated. For Obama to say he was a sheep herder is a straight out lie and exaggeration -- a fairytale if you will. Why does Obama get away with such out and out lies on an international scope?
Why did Barack Obama say “No child is born racist” but also said “Racism is in our DNA”?
Doesn’t seem to be an exact quote but:Children aren’t born racist. If you let children (like me) grow up in an environment where black, white, brown, etc. play together and nobody is discriminated against, we grow up looking at those colors as nothing more than ways to tell the difference between Jimmy and Ahmed.Racism, however, is in the DNA of American culture. Too many white kids grow up being taught to fear people of other cultures. Just listen to the speeches at a Trump rally where people cheer at promises to keep ‘them’ out. Listen to people bristle at how much coverage there is of police killings of unarmed black kids, but none of killings of unarmed white kids… (the reason being that unarmed white kids almost never get shot).White kids often get raised being told to fear black kids. Black kids grow up being told to move really slowly around cops, or risk being killed. On a per-interaction basis, a cop is more likely to be killed by a white suspect than a black one — but cops (are taught to) treat blacks as much more dangerous.White kids are slightly more likely to be drug users than black kids, but black kids make up something like 75% of the people in jail for drug offenses, despite being about 15% of the population.That is America’s DNA of racism. It’s why kids are born without prejudice, but often have it learned thoroughly by the time they graduate from high school.I grew up as a black kid in Canada. We thought that racism was dead in the 70s. I grew up in mostly white neighbourhoods with mostly white friends. I never thought anything of the fact that my first 3 lovers were all redheads. (statistically unlikely, given how rare natural redheads are). (white) friends who spent time in the US would come back and ask me if I noticed racism in Canada (no), because they were shocked to experience it in the US.I currently live in Vancouver, Canada — a city so multicultural that, when I joke that it’s same-race couples that get strange looks, people barely blink.But if I drive 140 miles south to Seattle, I’ll find functional racial segregation. … and the further south I drive, the more obvious it gets.The racist DNA is in the culture, not the people.
Did Obama really say "the Constitution is outdated and flawed"?
Yes he did.. Can you imagine the press coverage is a Republican candidate said these things. Libs.. here are bunches of links, including a video of the King himself. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=79225 http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/obama_constitution/2008/10/27/144675.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11OhmY1obS4 http://www.propeller.com/story/2008/10/27/obama-constitution-reflects-fundamental-flaw-in-this-country/ http://www.google.com/search?q=Obama+%2B+constution+%2B+flawed&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Oh.. and there's several hundred more links. Here's what he said .. in context In the 2001 interview, Obama said: If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, so that now I would have the right to vote. I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order and as long as I could pay for it I’d be OK But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf. And that hasn't shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court-focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that.
