First off Obama isn't even completely black. He is bi-racial. And I have nothing against that as I have bi-racial children myself.

Secondly Obama didn't even grow up in the United States. Neither him nor Kamala Harris's family lineage have any ties to the legacy of slavery.  Their parents didn't suffer through Jim Crow. Obama's mother was white and his father was Kenyan and moved to Indonesia when he was 6 and moved back to Hawaii when he was 10. Kamala Harris's mother is Indian and her Father is Jamaican  was born in Oakland and moved to Montreal Quebec, Canada when she was 12.

Please understand that your most formative years are as a teenager. from birth to 5 you barely know you are even alive. You generally can't remember much of your years from birth to 5. From 5 to 10 you just generally just care about birthdays, Halloween, and Christmas and going to Chuckee Cheese or Peter Pipers. You know little to nothing about politics or current events. Harris spent her formative years in a completely different country and moved back to the United States after high school graduation to attend college.


These politicians don't have ties to the black community. Once they get into politics they proclaim a blackness that was never there and fake it just to get into the good graces of the black community and get our votes. It's pandering at it's best.


Obama said in an interview specifically and not in these exact words but "that America didn't work best by doing anything specific for the black community and that America works best when things are done for all and the black community just happens to benefit some."


Kamala Harris said that "she wasn't going to do anything that specifically benefited black people only."


Obama didn't do anything at all that benefited black people. He had a super majority and could have quite easily pushed legislation making black people a protected class especially given all the police brutality incidents that happened under his watch. He didn't even try though.


So forgive me if I don't give two sh*ts about his legacy. To me he was nothing more than a typical white Democrat dressed in black face. And if you can sit here and act is if he is the best thing since sliced bread just because he has a black phenotype then you are lost sister (if I can even call you that)!
