Trump's disrespect for President Obama
By Etan Thomas
(CNN) -- Donald Trump's most recent challenge to President Barack Obama took me back to my collegiate years at Syracuse University. I had studied for two weeks straight for a calculus class, harder than I had ever studied in my life. After I completed my exam, I was confident that all my hard work had paid off.
But the next day, my professor greeted me with accusations of cheating, saying three-fourths of the class had flunked. How could I possibly have managed to get a B minus without cheating? Thankfully, not all of my professors were cut from this same cloth, but I had my share of run-ins. One professor asked me on the first day what I was doing in his classroom, and shouldn't I be in remedial English or Rocks for Jocks?
Why did I have to prove myself worthy of being in their classrooms? The vast majority of professors at Syracuse University were not like this, but the sting of disrespect from those encounters has resonated with me till this day.
Donald Trump questioning the president's educational background took me back to those unfortunate memories.

A long rant which had no point. Next time study harder and perhaps you will be able to make a point...
One can only guess you support the corrup socialist POS in the WH... Love him while you can, his time is short...!!

The Donald has little respect for Obama because he hasn't earned it since becoming President.
Obama wants to spread the weath which does nothing to make people earn things in life.
Obama to me is like OJ, because he is killing us with the way he handles this economy.
Problem here is that too many folks get backed up about what racist folks have to say. It's almost like we take their word as some kind of law, and that their claims carry more weight than anyone else's. Let's just call a racist a racist and move on...until they bring out their pitch forks and white hooded robes and start lynching people.
The fact that this man had to write an article, claiming that Obama doesn't have to prove anything is kinda silly IMO. To me, it's like he was trying to prove that Obama has nothing to prove...see what I'm trying to get at?

I don't know...maybe I'm trippin...

You're definitely trippin if you think yet another racist thread will generate much in the way of support.

OP, there will always be a certain segment of the population that has a deep sense of racial superiority. Always. And every professional Black American can recount at least one (but usually many) stories of a certain kind of person who checked their credential twice (even thrice), gave extra scrutiny to an overachieving background or questioned how somthing or other had been obtained by said Black person.
These indiginities are annoying and far too many of us have had to suffer through them on a fairly regular basis. We must use the ignorance of others to keep pushing us forward. Reach higher. Live better. Have more. President Obama did what many of us do in similar situations, he let the idiots embarrass themselves with their foolishness while staying above the fray.
Donald Trump is like a pig in a pigpen who is at his happiest when rolling around in mud and hsit.
