"I want to speak directly to the young men and women of color in this country," he said."I want you to know that you matter. I want you to know that your lives matter. That your dreams matter."
For instance, the former president said he rejected comparisons to the 1960s when the nation was at war overseas while the Civil Rights Movement was happening domestically amid police violence and the assassinations of political and community leaders. He added, “That’s a direct result of the activities and organizing and mobilization and engagement of so many young people across the country who put themselves out on the line to make a difference.”
Why didn’t he fix the problem during his two full presidential terms? 🤔
Thank you, Mr. President.
Just politics
Systemic Police Reform-VOTE
Loser.
Brb throwing up
MORE 👏 BEER 👏 SUMMITS!!
Same BS he said when in office and never got anything done but more division. All talk, just like Biden... Hopefully people wake up and realize its a power grab by Politicians, Entertainers and the Media. They DO NOT care about you or it would have been fixed already
Oh Dear, maybe not so Chic!!!
so go out in the community and talk to them. we are not interested in anything you have to say
7-2014 one man Eric Garner, 9-2014 Michael Brown. 4-2015 Fredie Gray, 13-8-2016 a man 23 yearly all were African Americans dead by police officers during Obama's term. what comments Obama about the deceased?
AllieGirl49 Obama missed his opportunity to make laws that could have been implemented. But he didn’t, so why would anyone want to hear from you now? Move aside, you didn’t accomplish anything in 8 years for any race
but funny somehow his name always comes up now. comparing obama to this n to that he did this n he didnt do that. 45 now has his own legacy to fulfill. he should concentrate on that...if MAGA is so important...show n prove forward not backward. we needed healing from somewhere
He did more to destroy and divide the US then anyone before him!!
what is appreciated: to break businesses, create public disorder, looting of store, all this is appreciated. Protects is a right as long as the protester does it civically!
Obama is using minorities to promote riots
In a normal society Obama should be making this fake talks from JAIL...obamagate
Only brain washed Americans will give attention to a man who had 8years of power and choose to do nothing about racism.obamagate
8 years of nothing he did
Guess who was president in 2012 and allowed this to take place
Pretty lame and uninspiring speech honestly.
who benefits from this
“and to the white people, just feel bad”
he got big talk not but he did not do any thing about it when he was in office when it was happening when he was in office this is all for show of the TV news
And all the footage of looters across cities in 20 states show 90% of them are Black, most under the age of 30. Not a good image for a segment of our society that says they're unfairly labeled as having a propensity for committing crime. Where is Black pride?
So what did he do when he had the chance for eight (!) years? He extended the number and length of wars in foreign countries, he droned more bombs than any other president, he had more whistleblowers detained than Bush. Change we can believe in.
Obamagate
Is white a color?
GOD I KNOW THIS IS LUCIFER SON THE ANTI-CHRIST PLEASE COME TAKE YOUR PEOPLE AWAY AND GIVE THE PEOPLE LEFT BEHIND OVER TO SATAN AMEN
Hit the News of the World.
Sure he did zero for the black community
Why did Obama give all that money to Iran?
The teleprompter man!
STEP DOWN YOU CROOKED LOW LIFE FROM KENYA

The world would have been much better with leaders of Calibre of BarackObama . Indeed this message build optimism among the hopeless.
They do matter yes ..but not for you ..stop your bla bla bla ...u were a president and they were suffering ender your reing..so pls stp ur bullshit!!
WHO set to resume hydroxychloroquine trial So looks like President Trump is Right
Well what have you done during your EIGHT years to support the black community? as a person he's really nice and charismatic, but that's not enough. The stuff he ordered in the middle east is forgotten by the whole left wing. Obama was a joke of a president, a very nice guy tho
Obama, u had 8 years,,, nice try.. you are NOT POTUS
Did their lives matter when he was president? Tell me about facts not populist/lefty rethoric. What Obama actually did to improve the lives of black people at least in Chicago being a senator from Illinois? He did nothing for blacks neither for the rest of USA
Mr Floyd should not have been killed by the police, but he is no Martyr either. Have you looked at his criminal record. He is no Saint..
Wasn’t this guy just in office for 8 years ?
BarackObama, Crayola says White is a color...... get rid of 'Race' identification on all forms....
He should have apologized for his failure as the first Black President for a full 8 years, who had every chance to actually make a difference and only made it worse. Whatever he says now is to little to late.
I lost what little respect I had for that man when he cited the insular cases to deny citizenship to American Samoans. Fuck Obama.
spy gate
How about something a little different?
These empty platitudes won’t work anymore.
Imagine if this man was still leader today
BlueLivesMatter
Only 9 black men and 1 women died in 2019 from police officers. 5 were unarmed and 4 attacked a cop. That’s it. Media and politicians brainwashed you. Caucasian rates are higher. Sorry
He did nothing lasting for any American from any background. He spoke to you for 8 years from the most powerful office in America. What good did he do for you then?
You’re not the president, you dropped a bomb EVERY 20 FUCKING MINUTES during your entire term, If anyone should have no place to speak on irrational violence, it’s you.
NBC “News” aiding and abetting a master manipulator
Mr Solution after he leaves the White House!!
If MSM would stop refusing to air Trump unedited, they would already know that they matter
Mr President Obama Thank you
Should have been more concerned as President for 8 years!!!
It matters how many bricks I can throw and businesses I can burn. What you want to bet most of these thugs voted for you. Who's the real thug you sold out to our enemies and they used it against us who's the thug?
This guy's Sec of State is to answer some questions about emails. Where is the news?
Where was obama for 8 years as potus to deal with racism? He shit the shits completely.
Thank you for stepping forth as a Peacemaker!
2,362 babies were killed in abortions today. But no one publicly protested for them.
America misses a real President BarackObama. You were not racist, you didn't bring hatred, you had calmness. And compassion and empathy for America. Something it's been lacking for 3 years VoteJoeBiden2020
And why did Chicago black on black murders escalate during his presidency?
Gotta love all the twisted, angry white people who never liked him anyway and - shocker - are responding negatively to his speech. Move on, it wasn't meant for you.
He forgot to mention that Black Americans kill 7,000 fellow Black Americans every year.......The too powerful Police Unions overly protect bad Cops...Inferring that Systemic Racism is responsible for Mr Floyd’s death is pure Horse Doo.
I don't have no dreams... Maybe I do, but I usually don't...
Thank you to say to people.
I can’t even watch this.
He is incapable of non-platitudinous talk
