Barack Obama, like millions across the world, watched in horror as the US experienced yet more deadly shootings – this time in El Paso and Dayton.
In both instances, the gunman have been linked to racist ideology – more specifically white supremacy.
The result has been mass debate about a hate speech, gun control, and more. Especially with Donald Trump‘s divisive response; a response which opted not to deem the incidents domestic terrorism.
Now, the former President is weighing in and he did not hold back – addressing many aspects of the discourse head-on.
His powerful statement below…
Potent words.
I really don’t understand why y’all are not on the streets protesting. Y’all love bitching but wouldn’t fight for what you believe in. Sad.
Unfortunately, @Jasmine the Real Princess, what we often do in America is use our fear to motivate us to buy MORE guns; manipulate the national conversation and turn the focus on mental health when gun laws should be the MAIN target; and not even touch the fact that OVERWHELMINGLY the perpetrators are white males, which needs SERIOUS attention. BUT there are people who are working everyday to get their voices heard…
Obama mention one thing u did for black people, I will wait.
Girl shut up you’re not even American
Well he never leave us the f*** alone? Damn! Go away! And take Trump, the Clintons, and every Congressman!
With you.*
I can’t add to anything he said, but I believe it’s an accurate summary of what’s happening right now. He correctly identified the problems we’re facing.
All you Trump supporter’s are mad go and suck a d*** b****!
✅ ✅ ✅ ? ?
Right!!
Looks whose back for his 15 minutes. You didn’t do damn s*** for black America. Get lost
The fact that your stupid ass thinks that he was “the President of Black People” tells me that you are clearly uneducated, misinformed, and politically unaware! It is b****** with mindsets like yours that are the reason why we have ol orange face sitting in office now!!!..y’all ignorant street b****** don’t even vote anyway!…Girl Bye!!!
Please when did u come back
And for people who say he didnt do anything for black people
Sorry o

Trump.here he’s the president of white and rich people and we see how things goes around
Speak!!!!…That’s my President!!..Not ol “Orange face” sitting in the White House!!…y’all can have huh!!!!
He*
And get did nothing in office. His policies were equally as damning as Trump’s. Obama was just handsome and more charismatic. Take his foreign policy for instance. His actions in the Middle East were worse than Bush’s. He and Bush both added 10 trillion dollars to the Nation’s debt.
Truth…spoken with class and dignity. Thanks for the word, 44!
