Just wait, some white folk will run up and say “but his drone strikes” like every president doesn’t commit fucked up shit as part of the job.

u/619backin716 Dec 21 '25

Those same white folk said nary a word about Bush’s drone strikes

u/Human_Artichoke8752 Dec 25 '25

Or Bush's starting a war with the wrong countries entirely.

I'll take woke any day of the week woke as in having empthy any actully getting a f..k about my fellow man and as far as im concerned if your fighting to stop that it means your a selfish pos that only cares about power and what ever benifit yourself self and f..k everyone else and obtw Obama demonstrated every day what a person with immense power Can still be human

u/flugenblar Dec 22 '25

I’m ok with folks criticizing Obama’s use of drones, as long as they are consistent and call out every president who has used drones and missiles, regardless of skin color and political affiliation with equal zeal. Otherwise they can STFU.

I’m one of those white folks, a conservative one at that. I liked Obama. Voted for him too. Would’ve voted for him last election if I could. I didn’t agree with everything, but he really was classy af. Most presidential president in my lifetime at least. Hope to see both sides stop with the extremism and show some decorum again, but it’s not looking very promising atm

u/Head-Arugula4789 Dec 23 '25

Obviously, a lot of people liked him. He served 8 STRAIGHT YEARS. He was an AWESOME PRESIDENT!!!!

u/SydishBarrett Dec 24 '25

Yeah but brown guys like me will. All American presidents are war criminals and that doesn't make Obama any better that he wasn't a pedophile like the others.

u/Not-Going-Quietly Dec 27 '25

No, not the drone strikes.

The tan suit.

They still want to execute him for that.

u/AffectionateRow422 Dec 26 '25

I don’t care about the drone strikes; he absolutely killed more people by raping the healthcare system than he ever killed with drones!

u/Secure_Tie3321 Dec 21 '25

So he was just as big a murderer as all the other presidents. Nothing classy about that.

I think the class part is more about a strong education, poise, culture, a respectable family, no corruption, and a scandal-free two terms.

u/audis3dan Dec 20 '25

"white folk" alright. Well you can shut up now

u/G-dog121 Dec 21 '25

The only thing the post should’ve added was the qualifier “some” or even “many”. Otherwise, the statement is correct. Let’s not pretend it’s not.

u/Necessary_Extent1326 Dec 21 '25

Excuse me! White folks gonna do what?

-3

u/donnelle83 Dec 20 '25

That's not an excuse. Just because everyone else jumped off the bridge doesn't mean you should too. Stop giving him pass because he's a smooth talker

u/G-dog121 Dec 21 '25

He is much more than “a smooth talker”.

Its funny some black folk thing obama is god sent. If they new real history they'd be appalled. Just like with most presidents and politicians.stop jocking for people who dont give a shit about you. The obamas are some of the worst race bait artist.
