Tavis, a committed Leftist, appeared on Meet the Press and said the Presidents comments Friday were as weak as watered down pre sweetened Kool-Aid. Ok sonata is is not a fan of the Great One. Immediately Black folks erupted on Twitter calling him some pretty vile names. Various Tavis related hash tags zoomed to the top. While I personally thought his comment was gratuitous why do Black people seem to tolerate no criticism of Obama. Is this some sort of group psychosis or something. I just don't get it.
Obama can't win on the issue of race. He's carefully stayed away from that whole discussion for his entire presidency - until now.
If he even utters the word 'race' - his detractors go INSANE that is starting a race war; only President to black people; fostering division. . . blah, blah, blah.
For others - he is in a unique position and should speak out MORE regarding race issues as the first Black President. They think he should be having MORE conversations about race, etc.
Truth be known...Tavis has done more for black causes than Obama has done in his whole life! Obama grew up off the mainland!!! Very little going on out there smokin' weed.
Black folks get mad when you say we are brainwashed. But when you break off from the hive, you get attacked and shunned just like cultists do to ex-members. It's crazy!! The behavior is the same!!
All of Tavis' work for the black community means NOTHING because he dared criticize the Obama!! Tavis didn't fall for the banana in the tail pipe.
I'm saying this and I do not agree with Tavis on anything! But I do acknowledge his work in the black community.
What are you talking about. What is this hive you speak of?
even more ironically, obama isn't even really black.
Ironically Tavis is way more liberal than Obama is, and the OP is a conservative showing fake outrage.

So that makes him less black? I am from the West Indies and my family did not pick cotton, does that take away from my blackness as well? Do you think that will stop me from getting profiled?

I like Tavis and I don't agree with the president on everything he does. Instead of trying to undervalue African Americans maybe you should look at the reactions as the emotions of individuals. It's not a group psychosis thing at all but individuals expressing their opinions on a particular subject.

His and his follwers opinions are between he and his twitter followers.
If TSmiley was worried what people were gonna say about him, he wouldn't be "on air".
