How the hell does this privileged character "Hafrican" know anything about "Jim Crow"?! - Obama Uses Commencement Address to Recall Jim Crow, Racism

Lest we forget, "Jim Crow" was from the Democrats!
As Mr. "Black Like Me," - He grew up in Hawaii after being abandoned by his commie-African scammer father, then live in Indonesia as a Muslim with his white mother and Indonesian step-father, came back to the U.S. to be raised by his White Grandmother, went to private colleges and Ivy Leave Universities and lived off the Chicago machine government suing the government as a 'community organizer. Not bad for channelling his "Jim Crow" mystical recall. m/r

Obama Uses Commencement Address to Recall Jim Crow, Racism | The Weekly Standard

MAY 19, 2013   • BY DANIEL HALPER

'...as a black man like you...'


In a commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, President Barack Obama recalls Jim Crow laws and racism of the 40s and 50s. Morehouse College is a historically black college.
"Dr. King was just 15 years old when he enrolled here at Morehouse.  He was an unknown, undersized, unassuming young freshman who lived at home with his parents.  I think it’s fair to say he wasn’t the coolest kid on campus; for the suits he wore, his classmates called him 'Tweed.'  But his education at Morehouse helped to forge the intellect, the soul force, the disciple and compassion that would transform America.  It was here that he was introduced to the writings of Gandhi, and Thoreau, and the theory of civil disobedience.  It was here that professors encouraged him to look past the world as it was and fight for the world as it should be," Obama will say, according to text provided by the White House.
And it was here, at Morehouse, as Dr. King later wrote, where “I realized that nobody…was afraid.”  ...
Whatever success I achieved, whatever positions of leadership I’ve held, have depended less on Ivy League degrees or SAT scores or GPAs, and have instead been due to that sense of empathy and connection – the special obligation I felt, as a black man like you, to help those who needed it most; people who didn’t have the opportunities that I had, because but for the grace of God, I might be in their shoes.  So it’s up to you to widen your circle of your concern – to create greater justice both in your own community, but also across our country.

Didn't Obama say something close to this about Trevon Martin?
