Obama Hasn’t ‘Had the African-American Experience - or Any Other American Experience

Although he excels in the Stalinist Experience. m/r


▶ Megan Kelly Confronts D’Souza for Saying Obama Hasn’t ‘Had the African-American Experience - YouTube

Jan 19, 2015
Dinesh D’Souza appeared with Megyn Kelly tonight to elaborate on his comments about Martin Luther King, Jr. and said something about President Obama that really took Kelly by surprise. D’Souza was on, partially, to address his tweets about Dr. King and drew parallels between King and himself.

He told Kelly that King, unlike Obama, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson, was a tremendous force on the issue of civil rights. Those other people, he said, have a “completely different attitude toward the color-blind ideal, which they reject.”

And then, in an aside, D’Souza said that Obama “hasn’t actually had the African-American experience.” Kelly was taken aback, saying, “He has black skin and he grew up in America as a black man!”

  1. "The African American experience", according to D'Souza: growing up in a ghetto, joining a gang, becoming a drug addict, rioting and looting, and ending up in prison.
