Actually Obama is Mulatto not Black. He was raised by his biological White mother.

As I said earlier, Obama earned his global ridicule and it's not because of the over used and tired excuse "they are doing it only because he's Black". If he was a strong leader it would not be happening, and comparisons to Bush, another idiot buffoon, doesn't change this.

It's funny that you're begging for intelligent conversation but you get what you give, and we're not seeing too much from yours.

Having said that, I would have voted for "Hollywood and the writer" and "(North) Korea for Crying about a Movie", if it had been a joint answer. Because by making such a big deal about it, North Korea probably will make more people see the movie.

I do not blame Obama for this.
It looks like the OP made it multiple choice so you can vote for more than one.

Wait a minute.. a minute ago it was because he's black.. now it's not. Which one is it?? Talk about contradictions. As I remind you of your very first post... you being the very first person to bring the African American race into this . Which I posted was completely off topic to this thread.

If the African American subculture in the USA wants some respect then they need to stop, take some responsibility for their actions, and realize the videos don't stop at the borders. Anyone from the USA watching news coverage outside the county of events in Ferguson, Chicago, NY, etc would be quite dismayed at how this is viewed by the common person in those places. These kinds of comments are not uncommon outside the USA.

Finally, Respect is Earned, not Given.

At one time Obama had enough of it to win a Nobel Prize. Today, by taking the low road, he's left with being compared to monkeys. Sad indeed.

oops.

So, you see blatant racism by a foreign power hostile to the United States, directed at the American President, and you naturally figure this is a perfect segue for you to launch into criticism at those - and only those - Americans of African descent. Duly noted.

So, it's President Obama's fault that he's the target of racist vitriol?


That says volumes about your perception of racism - to you, the targets of racism are to blame. But then, the paragraph I quoted above made that abundantly clear in the first place.
I'm still waiting to see his reply to this one. I'm guessing he can't think up anything "intelligent" enough to do it.

When you are ready to hold one, beyond "they called him a monkey because he's black" then I'm willing. But so far I haven't seen it.

You didn't ask a question. I'll be glad to address whatever you want.

Note that cut & pasting a bunch of sentences out of context isn't a discussion. Nether are discussions of others in the 3rd person. It's just more of the let's attack the messenger.
