Obama: Would be 'personal insult' to legacy if blacks don't vote 4 Hillary(CNN)

[ag]

Funny, how our Trumpista friends here cannot avoid raping the English language. You would think it should not be a Mexican standing up to its defence

[Mallow]

If you actually watched the full speech, you'd know your subject line is crap. He said it would be a 'personal insult' if the African American community didn't turn out to vote.

Bump.

[Hermit For Peace]

It's embarrassing to see the standard of discussion here slowly descend to the level of a Yahoo News comment section.

The only one who is inciting smthg here is you. And that something is hate.

After you just made nasty disturbing post about rape?

Hey, he's just "telling like it is". Aren't you supposed to "refuse to be politically correct"?

That post was completely out of bounds.  

Just like calling Mexicans rapists, right?

Wow, for all of Trump supporters' whining about "political correctness", they often illustrate better than anyone else why it exists in the first place.

LOL!

Well, this is, indeed, my point. PC is what has kept the society civil and at peace. It was only objectionable to the deplorable crowd because it recognised the non-whites as part of that society. Well, they have asked for it.

I believe Obama made one racist speech last night, what if trump said it would be an insult if white people vote for Clinton, the media would blow up against him and it is going to be like the end of his campaign.

Well, and I do not believe you want to know what I believe about you. So, be careful here

Yep, in the world of Trump even the greetings to the forum will now look like this.

[‼realJohnEwards‼]

Actually, "for Clinton" is a lie, so there's that gone. Basically, he wants the empowerment of blacks (a historically, and continuedly, disadvantaged group, unlike whites) to be a part of his legacy, and encouraging them to turn out to vote is a big part of that (increasing their political power).

[DrScholl]

Obama was putting things mildly. If you don't want to end up hanging from a tree, you had better not vote for Trump. There are white supremacists out there who think that if Trump becomes President that they can go out and declare open season on non-whites.

[Antonio the Sixth]

That's an awful way of putting it, but I can see what he was trying to say.

[oriass16]

with all due respect, I believe there are more black supremacists than white and you know what I have a prove on average 94% of black vote goes to Obama in his two elections, while the white vote was almost evenly spitted .

[Virginiá]

Oh for christs sakes, even CNN is pushing misleading titles and stories. Here is the actual quote:

"I will consider it a personal insult -- an insult to my legacy -- if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election. You want to give me a good sendoff? Go vote."

He said GO VOTE, not GO VOTE FOR CLINTON. I'm sure he knows them voting means almost unanimously voting for Clinton, but he never said that explicitly as some people here and in the media seem to think.

The OP is very misleading.

[ProudModerate2]

This thread is somehow even worse than I expected from the awful title!
Things are getting ugly around here, my friends.  A lot of people who believe truly deplorable things have crawled out of the woodwork.  But ultimately, love will win.

Agree.
But what do you expect from the OP ..... it is StatesPoll.

[Lincoln Republican]

Well, the Dems have been taking black voters for granted for generations now, and now that they really need them, Obama gets nervous and pushes the panic button, in a desperation move, using fear mongering.

And trump basically bragging about the recent bombings in NY/NJ is not "fear mongering" at all.
He deeply, deeply cares about all those people/victims.

We´ve had these sort of discussions before, and I would say I summarize the general opinion here well, if I say that we have concluded that anybody making this argument is either an idiot or a congenital liar. Which one of the two you happen to be?

In any case, who cares about abstract white or black supremacists. I prefer particular examples. Clearly, we have a user oriass16 represeting the former here.

Locking this thread because it is already spiraling into just a bunch of attacks and ugliness
