Damn, I ain't seen this many niggas mad when Bush talked the other day

i sincerely don't know how anyone with knowledge of the horrors he enacted on the middle east can even want to listen to a word coming out of his mouth right now

That was the least specific thing I’ve ever heard, he literally just played both sides again the same way he did his entire presidency

wait bush talked??

The voting in local elections s*** is pointless if theres no good candidates lmao

s*** is so stressful now, listening to obama talk is like taking 2 aspirin, even if it doesnt stop the bleeding

How did he play both sides?

you can still get some type of position of power at SOME place where you live that will give you a larger platform. and who said the president had to be radical? he was the FIRST black president meaning he barely even broke through. everyone isn't gonna be a huge shifter for the country. i think we should expect more from the next black president. i get y'all but he was the very first and there were a lot of people in there against him and he had to fight through that

released a statement

one of the few public figures to outright say George was murdered

Niggas letting their hate blind them.

then why are you here?

He said something along the lines of "there are some police who also recognize that change needs to be made" (not exactly but that idea) and it just doesn't do anything

to support real change

I think people just needed a powerful figure to provide some type of togetherness and optimism rather than someone who thrives off division and exclusion. If it doesn’t mean anything to you just appreciate that it will most def lift up morale.

this isn't a barack obama thread

wait seriously? that's actually good (even if it doesn't excuse the heaps of s*** he did)

bet most of em didn't even vote

why was there no protests when the us was causing terror on the middle east?

He brought up all the cops kneeling as if that s*** isn’t completely performative. What this country needs is a leader who will stand for justice even if it’s controversial. That speech felt like he was just trying to piss off as little people as possible. That isn’t what we need right now

Would any of you be interested in running for public office? I’m curious

i mean why were they listening to it and engagin in that conversation instead of other things that the thread is about? no need for more negativity.

Ok what else
