Barack Obama laced into Jared Kushner, the son-in-law and senior adviser of President Trump, after Kushner invoked a racist trope by implying that the lack of racial equality in the U.S. is due in part to a lack of motivation among Black Americans

Former President Barack Obama speaks at a rally as he campaigns for Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2020, in Orlando, Fla. | AP Photo/John RaouxFormer President Barack Obama laced into Jared Kushner, the son-in-law and senior adviser of President Donald Trump, after Kushner invoked a racist trope by implying that the lack of racial equality in the U.S. is due in part to a lack of motivation among Black Americans.

At a drive-in campaign rally in Orlando for former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday, Obama tore into Kushner and his father-in-law for their insistence that Trump is a better president for Black voters. “Now his advisers are out there saying, including his son-in-law, his son-in-law says, Black folks have to want to be successful, that's the problem,” he continued, sounding incredulous. “Who are these folks? What history books do they read?”

Blows my mind. How stupid can he be. A black man who was president of the united states of America, saying the country has a racist problem. Maybe it's time to let the race issue go. I never got a penny for being white. I have been attacked for being white before.

Seems about right to me they walk around acting like they’re fucking victims poor pitiful me and as soon as somebody crazy gets killed by the cops what do they do to prove how decent a community they are. run amok and loot everything in sight. classy

I actually like Obama but this was no trope. The culture of lament and BLM etc is unhelpful to them as a race. Get on with life. There’s lots of opportunity. The gangta rap lyrics or gun violence that’s prevalent in black community - who’s accountable?

How could any human being sit back in silence as Israel is allowed to commit genocide against Palestine using Covid 19.The conditions that are forced upon them during a pandemic is inhumane and evil.

🔥🔥🔥

smartdissent Kushner is a privileged slumlord who thinks he’s better than everyone else. He’s a criminal just like his father and father in law.

Since Kushner thinks black Americans are lucky to have Donald helping and only if they do something for themselves, their life would be better. Here’s the thing to do now: VOTE for BIDEN, oust the racists in the White House

Crooked Rs trying to sell us that the Bidens supposedly profit from their family political connections, while a slimy no-talent crime family jackoff like Jared sits in the West Wing as the Influence Peddler In Chief

Not every Trump supporter is a conspiracy theorist, racist, fascist, Xenophobe, misogynist, &/or religious bigot. But almost every a conspiracy theorist, racist, fascist, Xenophobe, misogynist, &/or religious bigot is a Trump supporter. Correlation is not causation, but?

As usual......Obama plays the race card........see nothings changed in four years with him.

It's a good feeling listening a well spoken and mature politician

OBAMABOY, THE 1ST STEP TO REAL POSITIVE CHANGE BEGINS WITH FACING THE TRUTH WHERE IT APPLIES TO THE PROBLEM. NOT ATTACKING THE PERSON THAT POINTS IT OUT! TRUTH HURTS. IF THE SHOE FITS WEAR IT! STOP BLAMING EVERYBODY ELSE. STOP KILLING, ROBBING, LOOTING, BURNING CITIES!

I DROPPED SOMETHING IN THE COMMODE THIS MORNING THAT LOOKED JUST LIKE YOU!

Thank you Mr. President ! Loved your speech today! Love ❤️ you! & Michelle. Oh , Mamala called and said she needs 12 dollars ! I said ok 👍 what ever you need girl ! Fired up ready to go!

BarackObama KamalaHarris JoeBiden Democrats Black Unemployment AP MSNBC ABC NABJ Democrats are better for the economy. Black unemployment fell from 17% to 7.5% during Obama years. Fell to 5.5% & now back up to 13.1% during Trump years.

Obama is a blowhard politician, he’s full of bull. An Unimpressive and underwhelming person. Elected ONLY because he is black. That’s all. He was a newbie lifted up by the left and media. Give me strength and character WHO cares about skin color.

MaxBoot Could listen to Obama forever. Intelligent, decent, honest, trustworthy. Respected all over the world. Self-less, always do things for others. Start of the great economy. Great integrity - respected statesmen. One of the great presidents of modern times.

soledadobrien But what about 'cousin Pookie' and 'stop grumbling, stop complaining'?

Trump wasn't called racists before being president. Joe's been consistently racists.

I am agnostic ignostic Jew. I do infer that Jar head is Jesus Jew. Most things Trump, Kushner are burglar ignorami, from an hallucination of Philadelpiha kneading spellcheck.

I sure do miss Obama!

soledadobrien But Jared read 25 books! I love a President who actually reads. Just check out Obama's massive book suggestion list every year.

Vote Biden. Fire Trump

I'm surprised no one has come up with Jared Kushner Halloween costumes because that thing is frighteningly scary. I mean, boo.

The Biden campaign has Obama working full-time now because they are worried. What happened to that 10 point lead?

soledadobrien Right he said they have to want to take advantage of investments in their community. What is wrong with this? You can not force a horse to drink, you can only lead it to water. Stop dividing us again Obama.

soledadobrien So Barry is doing Joe's job for him while he's in the basement?

Barack was on 🔥! Love HIM!

jonfavs Remember having a President who knew how to speak? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

soledadobrien Kushner's racist comments are motivating me to work harder to end this nightmare.

More riots in Philly

TVietor08 Right on ! Kushner born into a rich family can shut the hell up.

Hate to say it, but Jared Kushner is right .

Yawn

There was nothing racist about Jared Kushner‘s comments. Success doesn’t get handed to any of us on silver platter. We have to take the keys to success that are available and open the locks to our own success. Dream. Plan. Work hard. Be honest. Succeed. Nothing racist about it.

Obama is a lethal campaign weapon.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

We need more of this; otherwise we may have to resort to war kitties

Laced into him? New phrase? I guess laying into him no longer works ...

Watch Jared & listen to these words in particular: • George Floyd situation • complaining • virtue signaling • need to want to be successful

jonfavs speak for himself, DA, he is born with a silver spoon in his mouth & married the most imbecile AH's daughter. I guess he cant make it on his own merits, had to marry the most disgusting man's brat

NO OBAMA, NOT QUITE!!! YOU TRIED TO MAKE AFRICAN AMERICANS ACCEPT YOUR JOB PLAN “ LIVE OFF THE GOVERNMENT “ FREE OBAMA PHONES, FREE WELFARE HEALTHCARE, FREE FOOD- INCREASED FOOD STAMPS, “ ALL GOVERNMENT GARAGE HANDOUTS “ THATS NOT AN INCENTIVE TO WORK’! USE YOUR BRAIN

TVietor08 Kushner also said 'the George Floyd situation'. The 'situation' was that George Floyd was murdered in slow motion, by the police, in broad daylight, in front of a crowd, on video, for being accused of trying to pass a fake $20 bill. That 'situation' was an extrajudicial murder.

Big Tech works with the DEMONCRATS blocking what you can read blocking what you see seeing everything you do on you DEVICES DATA INFORMATION

Those 6 people are interested, certainly...

White House BRAIN Initiative, is a collaborative, public-private research initiative announced by the Obama administration on April 2, 2013 with the goal of supporting the development application of innovative technologies that can create a dynamic understanding of brain function

Obama the great divider who failed as president.

It’s despicable, a Jew w ancestors who suffered Holocaust bc of bigotry & racism says African-US who built US w blood & tears during slavery & beyond r lazy. JK’s corrupt FIL hired him w our $$ 4 a job he is unqualified 4. BlacksForTrump VoteBlue

its always your own people who persecute they people he's black and he's white he don't unite he divides even at a FUNERAL in the house of God he DIVIDES MABUS BarackObama NWO

Jared Kushner will never get a Nobel or even a Noble.

Kushner made the comments on “Fox & Friends” yesterday, saying Trump's policies 'can help [black] people break out of the problems that they're complaining about, but he can't want them to be successful more than they want to be successful'

Obama was in Orlando saying lots of anti-white shit like a classless race hustler POS. Democrats hate America. They hate the Constitution. They hate religion, hate marriage and families, hate the unborn, hate the sick. and today Obama's trying to get Americans to hate each other.

The same thing they say about us not wanting to vote, after they placed a Mount Kilimanjaro in front of every elections. A white dude can be on planet Mars, but will still be able to vote. For a black dude, it’s like taking a final exam for the school of medicine

Oh,JKushner has plenty of company, all of whom are so ignorant that they repeat the same-old same-old. They've got nothing else! To ignorant people in power,their very ignorance signifies privilege & status, which is why they boast about it--something that decent people never do.

Biased. Politico another fake news media.

Kushner is implementing a successful plan for peace in the Middle East. Barack is jealous.

Yawwwn Barrack sucked

VP Biden and President Obama both gave incredible speeches. Everyone should have voted by now but if not today is the day! right now is the time! Nothing is more important! 40% of Americans will not vote, let them all be Trumplicans! Only Trumplicans should be in line on Nov 3rd

Jared was not talking about lack of motivation, he was talking about these cities where the dems don't even try to teach kids to read anymore

You mean the same thing the NAACP said?

This!!!

Jared has already accomplished more to advance the cause of peace in the Middle East than Obama/Biden did in 8 years!

RobinMCouch I didn't heat 'in part' due to unmotivated black people, I heard Trump has leveled the playing field if you are not successful, it us because you prefer to be lazy. There are NO obstacles, no inequality in schools or opportunity. No need to deal with fake racism, discrimination.

oreo is what I think the brothers call black men who were raised as white and privileged.

The KKK's Guide to Black History

Politico should be regulated as political speech. Im

Well what's wrong with saying that? Everyone has to have a desire to succeed in order to succeed ... Race is irrelevant ... There was nothing racist about that ... If you want to do something in particular then you have to have the desire to make it happen ... Logic ...

Are you sure you're using 'laced' correctly? You guys need to hire a copyeditor, maybe?

Good but kushner too dumb to understand.

If anyone would know about being shiftless, it's Jared Kushner, who's done nothing that wasn't financed by daddy -- and managed to fail at that, too.

This is more than motivation, it’s determination.

Obama said the same thing a few years ago and he was called an UT. Guess Obama gave up!

Strange how Jared is an expert on Black america.

It’s refreshing to hear a real president speak 👍

Yes because they held down by the Democratic Party ! They aren’t aloud

About time someone took Kushner to task
