  1. Son of perdition Rapture then your role is the actual Antichrist.

    1. Jani mosa what’s wrong with you people… maybe check the so called “facts” you get out of dodgy YouTube videos and conspiracy blogs as carefully as you check the information from traditional media outlets…

    2. @Louisa536 said without self awareness as 4 years of obama’s deep state goons all became very quiet under oath unable to repeat all the nonsense they had spewed on tv.
      How’s that virus pandemic narrative going for ya, suddenly forgotten, how convenient.

    3. @Louisa536 The conspiracy theory brainworms are out in force. Betcha he thinks bigfoot is real too.

    4. @wooo weee >deep state

      What other conspiracy theories do you believe in? Do you think Area 51 has aliens in it?

    1. That’s a bold statement, considering that the biggest egomaniac is in the White House right now …

    2. @Louisa536 said without any self awareness as the ex pres who started the black cities burning decides to chime in against all historical protocol.

    3. …but this was all normalized 20 years ago, so I posted at a mediamonarchy.com December 19th 2007: police brutality and torture are normal after 9/11, and who helped to normalize all that? our previous puppet presidents, who, oh man wouldn’t you know it, they’re on the scene right now!

      George W. Bush says George Floyd’s death reveals America’s tragic failures. bold words for a skull and boner war criminal and the guy who executed 152 people as governor of Texas

      Oh, Obama, hosts town hall discussion of re-imagining policing after George Floyd’s death, which is a really great way to get black folks to chill out, vote Biden and of course distract from your own record of brutalizing protesters at Standing Rock and Occupy, not to mention bombing so many countries, five, remember five more than Bush, that he ran out of bombs!!!!

  2. โœŠโœŠ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅโ›ˆ๏ธโ›ˆ๏ธโ›ˆ๏ธโ›ˆ๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ

  3. Mr. President, your bookshelf ainโ€™t โ€œBecomingโ€? Donโ€™t see it ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜€

  4. Just a reminder – When we lose to Trump in 2020, please dont riot or try to undermine our country to get back at Trump. It hurts the lower income minorities the most.

    1. When Trump loses against biden, tell Trump’s white supremacist followers to not start a war…

    2. @Good Father Hahaha Obama & Biden had 8 years and did nothing for the black communities. You’re delusional. Look up how many black people were killed by cops under his leadership. They did nothing!

  5. Deleting my comments now youtube. You don’t want people to know the truth about militant atheist communism, hiding behind the facade of the DNC.

  6. C’est triste, รฉmouvant, choquant, ca donne de la frison dans nos corps. Dieu sauve nous les noirs, nous n avons pas de force sauf toi seul Dieu.

  7. Thanking the good police for there service. Calling all police bad is like calling all protesters rioters.

    1. Agree and whatโ€™s happening is a failure of all previous presidents, every single one of them has been a failure including Obama

    2. He NEVER led on the issue of race relations in 8 full years – just encouraged Americans to *talk amongst ourselves* about race. The lamest stance he could possibly take. And did *nothing* to empower minorities, the middle class or the poor. He DID militarize the police force. And here we are today.

  8. He had 8 years to fix this and same stuff was happening, he called the same people who looted and rioted in Freddie Grays murder in 2015 Baltimore โ€œLooters and Thugsโ€. No one is perfect we must all educate ourselves.

  9. Those African Americans voted you but what did you do to resolve the issue in 8 years term?

  10. Nothing changed under Obama, these are some hollow words from a man that had an opportunity to CHANGE the status quo.
