So while former President Barack Obama told his “brothers” to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris because she is a black woman, women “kept having our backs.” They're pushing me.''
obama said: “My understanding, based on reports from campaigns and communities, is that the energy and turnout that we saw when I was campaigning is still not being seen in all aspects of our neighborhoods and communities. It means that it is not. [This lack of enthusiasm] It seems to be more pronounced in siblings. ”
he also said,”[Black] The women involved in our lives have always supported us. ” Perhaps this does not apply to his devoted person. (Related: Josh Hammer: The fall of Kamala Harris)
Is this what President Obama tells his “brethren” at his Martha's Vineyard barbershop? Of course, he wouldn't be begging his “brethren” to vote for, say, Republican Condoleezza Rice if he were the Republican presidential candidate. If people had voted based on race, Obama would never have been elected as a state senator, U.S. senator, or president.
President Obama also told his “brethren” to vote for Harris. because “There are people who grew up just like you.”
That's quite a statement from someone who grew up unlike anyone most voters know.
obama was born in Hawaii. His mother earned a PhD in anthropology and his father earned a degree in economics from Harvard University. Mr. Obama's mother remarried an oil company executive, and Mr. Obama lived for several years in Indonesia, where he attended a private school established by his stepfather's oil company for the children of executives. obama's mother sent him back She wanted her son to get a better education, so she went to Hawaii. There he lived with his white maternal grandparents. His grandmother became a bank executive and his grandfather was a successful salesman.
at obama, hawaii attended authoritative Punahou Where is the preparatory school? tuition fee The fee for the 2023-24 academic year is $30,480, which does not include student activity fees. He spent his first two years of college at an elite school in Los Angeles, then get his stuff He earned a bachelor's degree from Columbia University and a law degree from Harvard University.
If, according to Obama, people should vote for people who were “raised just like you,” then why not “brothers” or, for that matter, most other people, given the way he was “raised”? Should people vote for Obama? So much for the content of the characters, not the color of their skin. President Obama wants Jim Crow 2.0.
In addition to this, consider how black people have fared under preacher Obama. As for me Written in 2015:
“When President Obama took office in 2009, the black poverty rate was 25.8 percent. In 2014, the black poverty rate was 27.2 percent, according to the Pew Research Center.
“CNNMoney says that 'median income for minority households fell by 9 per cent between 2010 and 2013, while median income for white households fell by just 1 per cent.'” Financial Times The paper (October 2014) states, “Since 2009, the median income of nonwhite households has fallen by nearly a tenth, to $33,000 a year, according to the Federal Reserve's Consumer Finance Survey. '', he wrote.
“What about net worth and the black-white “wealth gap”? According to the Financial Times, “The median net worth of non-white families today is just $18,100, almost a fifth less than when Mr. Obama took office.” Reported. Meanwhile, median wealth for whites increased by 1% to $142,000. …Blacks have fared worse under Obama, both in relative and absolute terms.
“According to the Federal Reserve, from 2010 to 2013, median wealth for white households increased by just 2.4%, while wealth for Hispanic households decreased by 14%, to $13,700. 's net worth fell from $16,600 to $11,000, a staggering 34% decline in three years…the black-white 'wealth gap' reached its highest level in 25 years. ”
What about unemployment? By 2014, black people labor participation rate The proportion of black people working or seeking employment is the lowest since figures were recorded.
What about home ownership? Harvard University Center for Collaborative Housing Research I wrote“The homeownership rate for black households has fallen by 6 percentage points, and is twice as high as for white households.” Given Obama's dismal economic performance, why are “brothers” voting by race and gender? Do we need to listen to election card hustlers who say?
