    Sounds kind of racist to me  ,  It just reminds me though that racism plays a huge part FROM  the positions  minorities too .   90 percent of Black voters voted for Obama , proving racism exists  in the black community ,   now he says this ,  I wonder when the media will call out racism where  racism TRULY exists ?   

    The utter simplicity of racism and hypocrisy is that they dwell especially IN the minority ?

      That's pretty low of him. Not surprised. It will take low talk and dirty tactics to keep the voters in the dark until November.

      Well, that's good news really, because the Democratic party must be in a panic about losing the Black Voters.  There are far less willing to support Hillary than any other Democrat running for president from what I read.   More and more people are waking up and deciding to support Trump, because they are researching and thinking for themselves. 

      Last I saw a couple weeks ago:
      Clinton 70%  (shrinking)
      Trump  30%  (growing)

      Cmon, horse, lets not banter over the ridiculous. Obama was referring to his policy initiatives and who would be most likely to continue them. Yes, we are pro Obama, better have an disagreement between friends than to embrace a mortal enemy, yes?

      I think Republicans suck and so believes much of the Black community, I don't need to test the winds to tell you that. Trump will be lucky to get 5 percent of the Black vote, and I don't care what infowars says

      How many times do I have to tell conservatives? Blacks vote constantly Democrat, because the other party dismisses them in its entirety. That has been true in large part since the sixties. So what rock have you been hiding under for over 50 years? So, Einstein, it is about the association with Democratic Party not Obama and Black, get it?

      But you have to wonder on what plantation do Jews and Asians live on, they are traditionally heavy Democratic voters? Trump's theme of xenophobia will certainly play well with them?

        What you REALLY mean is conservatives fail to recognize Blacks ONLY  ;first and foremost like Obama  . Just can't get by being equal to everyone else  can they ?

        And Hillary has delivered SO much for blacks in America ? Yes ?  Oh , promises -only don't count ?

        Watch what happens , in spite of your wishes black voters are on the Trump train .

      How does 90 percent of Black voters voting for Obama prove racism exists  in the black community?

      It sounds like you are saying a Black voting for a Black, because he is black is racist. Is that your intention? I just think it is dumb, I don't get the racism part. And since you said it was simplicity itself, now I have to worry about what I missed. Or who is missing what.

          You both are off, if I selected Obama solely due to fact that he was a Black Man, I would be guilty of bias. But, let me tell you that I would never vote for Herman Cain or Alan Keyes, as it has nothing to do with the candidate being Black. If the candidate does not mesh with my ideological and political stance, it doesn't matter what color you are, he or she will not get my vote.

          Why do you assume that they voted purely for his black skin? Clinton is projected to receive an even higher percentage of votes from blacks than Obama did. I'm thinking they view Democratic policies more favorably than Republican policies.

                  Trump has proposed bringing back the concept of "stop and frisk", which did not pass Constitutional muster when taken to court. The idea that extra legal attempts to violate 4th amendment protections guranteed to us all can have an exception apply to the inner city will not stand. I think Clinton is smart enough not to get on board with this as a continued source of harrassment within the Black community.

                  Mayor Rudy Giuliani cracked down on crime in New York, and one tactic used by officers was stop and frisk.  It worked fast!  It would work in Chicago, Detroit, wherever the crime rate is high.  I don't think that's racist, its a smart tactic. I think law abiding citizens would welcome it in high crime areas.  Its not based on skin color, but race baiters would try to make it about that.  If it saves lives and stops crime!

As far as --O-- changes go, where have you been? Illegals now get free everything even though the rest of us get penalized for not buying something those illegals get for free...health insurance, the police, who've always been partial to killing blacks, now seem to have license to do it at will without provocation while leaving no recourse for their victims families  etc. etc.. There's been more change in america over the last 8yrs at the hands of obama than I care to think about. At least with trump what you see is what you get, no surprises. clinton, on the other hand is very suspect in her credibility and intentions, but at least at her age we won't have to worry about a PMS driven nuclear world war.

                  You didn't even address the main point of my comment, which is that it is erroneous to assume blacks voted for Obama simply because he is black.  Clinton is polling an even greater percentage of black voters than did Obama.  Is it because she has pretty pink cheeks?

                  I suppose since women support her in greater numbers you think it's because she's a woman?

                    I remember the first election Obama won. I go to the polls early before work. It's usually a quick in and out. On this particular occasion the line to vote was a good 1/8 mile long. The sea of faces were definitely, completely, black.

                    Blacks didn't elect Obama alone but anyone who says blacks didn't vote for him because he is black is ill informed. These people at my polling station were there for a reason. Which is certainly their right, but let's be honest please.

          How do you equate the power of choice with a lack of choice?  While your bus seating example certainly seems a racist act to me, voting based on skin color seems at worst to be a dumb decision. There are several descriptors that I think might apply; biased, prejudiced, or maybe even arrogant... but I don't think racist fits the slot.

          So yes, I think the two are different.

      Obama has done more to move america towards socialism than any president before him, and I kinda like my democratic republic, and now he wants us to keep america moving in that direction by electing what's-her'-name clinton! Even if one is partial to a socialist government run by someone with so much too prove, clinton is a security risk and a fabricator of contrivences the first being that she made claim to being a "New Yorker" only a few days after buying property in westchester county. The reason being that she needed to establish residency to run for senatorship. More importantly is her disregard for security procedures. If she's gonna lie about things she could at least make a reasonable attemp at plausibility.

      According to a September 2015 Rasmussen survey, 85 percent black voters oppose Clinton’s refugee agenda to admit more than 100,000 Middle Eastern refugees—with less than one percent of black voters (.56 percent) in favor of her refugee plan.

      I read that the Obama Administration has spent $770 million to renovate Mosques overseas.

    Farrakhan Tells Obama, “Let Trump Do Want He Wants, You Failed Inner City Blacks”

    Sunday at the Men’s Day program hosted at Union Temple Baptist Church in Washington, DC, Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan said to President Barack Obama, “Your people are suffering and dying in the streets,” of Chicago, so “you failed to do what should have been done.”

    Farrakhan continued  by saying it is time to let Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump do “what he wants to because he is not destroying your legacy.”

    Farrakhan said, “So you Democrats, you been in their party a long time. Answer me, what did you get? You got a president. He is worried about his legacy. You want Hillary to get in to protect your legacy because Trump said the minute he gets in, he is going to reverse the Affordable Care Act. Because that is your signature achievement. To show you how hateful the enemy is, he hates that you achieve what you did achieve. So he said I’m going to tear it up when I get in. So he don’t want his legacy destroyed. Mr President, let the man do, if he get in, what he wants to because he is not destroying your legacy. If your legacy is bound up in an Affordable Care Act that only effects a few million people and they are trying to make it really difficult for those of us who signed up, that’s not your legacy.

    He continued, “But I just want to tell you, Mr President, you’re  from Chicago and so am I. I go out in the streets with the people. I visited the worst neighborhoods. I talked to the gangs. And while I was out there talking to them they said ‘You know, Farrakhan, the president ain’t never come. Could you get him to come and look after us?’  There’s your legacy, Mr. President, it’s in the streets with your suffering people, Mr. President. And If you can’t go and see about them, then don’t worry about your legacy. Cause the white people that you served so well, they’ll preserve your legacy. The hell they will. But you didn’t earn your legacy with us. We put you there. You fought for the rights of gay people. You fought for the rights of this people and that people. You fight for Israel. Your people are suffering and dying in the streets! That’s where you legacy is. Now you failed to do what should have been done.”

    You set Obama straight, Mr. Farrakhan, because his legacy isn't worth saving.

    Stop and Frisk? More Police involvement? At this point in time, there isn't very many Blacks that will vote for this, For the same Police that consistently have questionable run ins with Black men that end up losing their life. As a Black man, I'm not going to vote for any one based on the color of their skin. In my opinion Hillary is an idiot, and Trump is an even bigger idiot. Either way you look at it, America is spiraling down out of control, and it's not Obama's fault, although he has done some bonehead moves. These issues started way before Obama's term.

      I agree.  But if Trump wins, you will have someone in office much like my loud-mouthed, racist governor of Maine, Paul LePage.  He has claimed that 90% of drug dealers in Maine impregnate Maine's white women and are all responsible for the drugs.  He has been pressured to resign, but he is a stubborn a-hole.  Trump is just like him:  stubborn, vain (thinking they are smarter than everyone else) loud-mouthed, sarcastic, and only caters to those with money.

        LePage says the 90% of drug dealers are black or hispanic and come from other states.  Meanwhile, the FBI checked out his erroneous statements about this.  There were only 40% of blacks and/or hispanics, compared to 60% of white people.
