"For millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House," writes Barack Obama in his new memoir, A Promised Land, "Donald Trump promised an elixir for their racial anxiety."
Rather than speak for the millions of Americans whom Barack Obama casually defamed, I am going to speak for the 130,000 or so residents of Chautauqua County, New York, a semi-rural "rust belt" county tucked away in the far southwest corner of western New York.
I know the county well. I spend a good chunk of each year there and set my first published novel, 2006: A Chautauqua Rising, therein.

He is, and always has been, a racist and a fraud.

Pompous and Dumb as a Doorknob Arrogance. I'll buy his memoir and use the pages to pick up the neighbor's dog poops.

After I read that excerpt, I got boiling mad. How dare he! He has never met me and to call me a racist......Argh!!! My parish priest told us to beware of the sin of wrath (not righteous anger), and I fear I have slipped into it. I utterly loathe that man - I can't even say his name anymore.

If millions are racists, you never would have been elected.

I think that I have decoded the newest version of the race card. Obama calls Americans racist in the same way BLM defines "anti-racism", which is to say that if you believe in MLK's version of race relations (don't see race, just people), then you are racist. In this view, you must actively promote or affirm the position of minorities over whites, the (temporary) majority, in society. Unfortunately, too often the actual real-life practice of this affirmation leads to "building some up by tearing others down". Obama seems fine with equation.

This is what we have to look forward to, if Biden gets away with his scam.

Obama is a hater. Thats why he set race relations back decades in this country. Politicians didn't throw around the Nazi and racist descriptions for their political enemies until he came around. And did he really write the book himself or was it his domestic terrorist buddy Bill Ayers?

What a bloody joke both Barack and Michelle are: suddenly multi millionaires with multiple homes et al. grousing about race when he was elected TWICE by a majority of America, most of them white. (Why the Black vote remains semi solid is beyond me, particularly since Obama did virtually nothing for them in 8 years whereas Trump did plenty in four----do they not read or THINK?) I have friends, white of course, who actually canvassed for the man twice when he was running and was always tempted to ask specifically why, beyond their virtue signaling, they thought he was worthy. But then again they voted for the mentally challenged, ME TOO accused and wildly corrupt Joe Biden.......there is obviously no answer beyond they don't LIKE Trump's personality.

A well-written article, exposing how many of us felt before and after Obama. I was living in L.I., New York, and Sean Hannity stressed nightly how Obama was a Marxist. It opened my eyes to his policies, even though I had been impressed with his speech at the Democrat convention as an articulate young politician. In New York, we were used to every race under the sun, so race did not play a role in my vote for a president. But Marxist policies turned me off the minute I saw them! He embarrassed me time and time again when he would speak disparagingly of our country to other nations. The change we wanted most was economical success and that wasn’t even on his mind!
I was open to his fresh young face, although I didn’t vote for him, but after 4 years, I realized we had been tricked and deceived big time!

I hate to admit this but I will. I grew up in the Deep South in the 50’s and was never the least bit racist until 0bama came along. He turned me into one before his second election and neither he, his “wife” nor BLM and all of their cohorts have done anything but fan that flame ever since.
My future son in law is half black and I love him and his family, but they live conservative lives, have never been on any sort of assistance, go to church and are positive members of society.

The power of their accusation "you are a racist!" comes from their anticipation of your struggle to prove you are not a racist. Once you assert, "I am NOT a racist!" and try to prove it (which is impossible)-- they've got you! I'm at the point of frustration and anger where if someone says I'm a racist, my response will be: "Right. I am a racist. I think every black person is inferior. You got me."
End of discussion.

Why the hell did you read it? You knew it was just another Hate America First diatribe. Michelle told him to do it (or to sign his name to it).

So far, the memoir sounds like a self-pitying, finger-pointing, responsibility-avoiding exercise, a typical leftist psychology.

I did not vote for Obama. It was not because of his color but because of his character. He is a Socialist/Communist who lies easily. He was never for America and it showed. The only reason he won was because of the fiction the MSM spun about him. He says in his book that he did not give up smoking. I have seen pictures of his daughter Malia smoking up a storm. Bet she does drugs too just like Daddy. Hopefully this is his last book. How much can he write about golf or jetting around the world? I just wish Democrats like Hillary and Barry would get off of the stage.

I'm a bald white guy living in a suburb of Chicago. I work with lots of blacks in the steel mills, chemical plants, etc...there is NO racism at all, we all get along great, with lots of pats on the back.
If I say there are more drive by shootings in Englewood (all black area south side of Chicago) ten there are in Elmhurst (99% white where I live) am I a Racist? If I say there is more violent crime and jar jackings in Englewood than Elmhurst, am I a Racist??
No, I'm an OBSERVATIONIST!! Don't shoot the messenger. Oh, and for all you BLM out there, I'd like to make up hats and t shirts with 13-60 on them. Know what that is? Blacks make up 13% of the population but commit 60% of the rapes, murders, robberies, etc... I'm just the "OBSERVATIONIST" (never heard anyone use that word before...feel free to use it!)

I'm just another white guy who was born and raised in northern Illinois (and yes, I'm still a dyed in the wool Cubs fan to this day after having moved to Colorado 50 years ago) and was among black people and many other minorities in school, at the store, at sporting events, everywhere. I never resented them and they didn't resent me. Not surprisingly at all, I found the black population to be great to be with and very sociable folks.
But, Obie is different. When he was running for president in 2006-07, he came across as having a real axe to grind with anyone who didn't have his ethnicity. Yes, IMO, he was the racist of all racists.

0 has never written anything. He has Marxist ghost writers (spooks) for that
He has acknowledged that he is lazy so does anyone believe he could compose 700+ pages. And he doesn't have many "accomplishments" so it has to be padded with ideology, propaganda.

If Obama had his way, the USA would have been transformed into a socialist utopia based upon identity and race policies during his presidency. That did not happen, but Obama has said that it will through mass changing demographics through key areas of the USA, which Obama has said that he would have taken advantage of if he was elected President thirty years or so in the future.
Biden has said that he intends to nominate Obama to a seat on the US Supreme Court, if that happens do you think that Obama will support, defend, and follow the US Constitution and the law in his court decisions if it comes to that? Give us a break!

With the august Fauxbama neck and neck with Jimmuh Carter in the race to the bottom of all American presidents, Fauxbama is making Jimmuh happier and happier. This book may just be the clincher.

Obama was a despicable president who was the source of most of the racial divide we see today. He emerges now from his multimillion dollar cave to tout his screed upon the lower class whom he despises. I suspect he despises the blacks who support him and repeat his mantra.

Black folks across America should remember when Obama and Biden were offering them something called “Hope and Change” in return for their votes, twice, and then once elected only delivered crumbs including some so-called “Obama phones” that are now obsolete. With a bucket full of “Hope and Change” you could not buy a chicken sandwich. In contrast Trump offered everybody, including Black folks, good jobs and greatly expanded job opportunities, with pay with which they could provide for their families, and buy as many chicken sandwiches as they wished. It does not take a genius to figure out which President was better for Black folks!

I remember he was calling us all racists if we didn't elect him back in 2008. Politely of course, and in many inventive ways, but the intent was there. This nation is not afraid of electing a minority, it just wants one who isn't racist, and has actual character. Somebody like a Herman Cain is someone I would have gladly voted for if he hadn't been forced to drop out.

As a Black Conservative Navy Veteran I have to say that I despise this so called man. For 8 very long years he had done everything in his power to set race relations back to the 50s and 60s. Even now with this 3 ghost written screed he continues to do that. I will not buy his book even when it eventually winds up in the Walmart dollar bin.

Obama, like Joe Biden and so many other democrat politicians, has lied so often and for so long that he is no longer able to distinguish truth from fiction. He is a demonstrable LIAR of the first order, so I am puzzled why anyone gives a rip what he says or thinks.
Full disclosure...I am a WASP...white, anglo-saxon protestant...but guess what...that in no way disqualifies me from pointing out that Obama, having lied his way through life to progress his own personal interests, is lying yet again. For example:
- Obama himself claimed to be born in Kenya, for all of the years prior to being elected to the US Senate;
- Has hidden all of his private records under EO, most likely to hide his college registrations as a foreign student;
- Has assumed the SSN of a dead former citizen of the state of Connecticut;
- has never revoked or rescinded his Indonesian citizenship;
- has yet to produce a birth certificate that uses only the fonts that actually existed on the day he was born;
- said he was a Christian on national TV, only to then cancel the White House Christmas dinner, and celebrate Ramadan instead;
- said he supported only same-sex marriage, until he was POTUS, when he did a 180 deg about face;
- said his admin was the most scandal-free in history, without any mention of IRS-gate, Iran-gate, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and most famously, Russia-gate.

Watched Law and Order SVU last night. Hollywood has decided to narrate what happened this summer as "All white people are racist. They can't help it. It's in their DNA as white people. Things have to change."
I guess I don't have to watch that show anymore if that's the kind of knee-jerk Hollywood response we're going to get. This Is Us season premiere also centered on George Floyd. It also featured Hollywood puking it's liberal guts out over our national, endemic racism.
