We didn't hold President Obama as accountable as we might have.

I especially appreciated hearing the President [Barack Obama] affirm that "black lives matter" and that it means that some citizens are feeling more pain, and experiencing more negative effects than others, and he offered up the stats. He also indicated that black lives matter does not negate the fact that blue lives matter. He ably walked the tightrope, here, between affirming both black life and police life.

Lots of African-American people really so adore Barack Obama that they're unwilling to even be mildly critical of him.

I hope his wife feeds him [Clarence Thomas, Justice, U.S. Supreme Court] lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease. . . . He is an absolutely reprehensible person.

African-American people adore President Obama.

African-Americans have rarely been the beneficiaries of Presidential rhetorical excess.

I like to think that life lessons are learned and re-learned every day and take on importance at different times in life.
