It's different, it's not real.
"Where the confederate flag still flies, we have built a powerful coalition of African Americans and white Americans” -- Barack Obama
better reorder your Obama Kneepads
The quote is real, although truncated. The pin is not.
LOL.
Whatever helps the Fluffing go down easier
"Where the confederate flag still flies, we have built a powerful coalition of African Americans and white Americans” -- Barack Obama
But but but ...
context!
Your wish is my command!
The full quote:
Throughout the first year of this campaign, against all predictions to the contrary, we saw how hungry the American people were for this message of unity. Despite the temptation to view my candidacy through a purely racial lens, we won commanding victories in states with some of the whitest populations in the country. In South Carolina, where the Confederate Flag still flies, we built a powerful coalition of African Americans and white Americans.
Wow, so the rest of the quote shows him to be a bigger racist scumbag than we ever imagined.
Can you imagine A Republican talking about winning in some of the blackest populations?
Just ******* wow
They do it all the time, so by your own standards, Republicans are the "biggest racist scumbags we ever imagined."
Rand Paul Says He Can Get 30 Percent of the Black Vote in 2016 Here s How He ll Do It Dr. Jason Johnson
Rand Paul, who fashions himself as a new wave African American friendly Republican has lifted his bat and pointed to the right field of 2016 with his recent interview in Politico
released last Friday:
"If Republicans have a clue and do this and go out and ask every African-American for their vote, I think we can transform an election in one cycle," Paul said.
Paul acknowledges that there will be plenty of black voters not willing to embrace a Republican at the national level, but that doesn't stop him from making his claim.
Paul: "But I think there is fully a third of the African-American vote that is open to much of the message, because much of what the Democrats has offered hasn't worked."

Last March, in its “
autopsy” examining why Mitt Romney lost, the RNC presented a 10-point plan for winning more black votes. None of the 10 involved policy. Five of them involved recruiting more African-American staffers, spokespeople, and candidates.
There’s an irony here. When bashing Democrats, Republicans often decry identity politics. They deride liberals for treating people as members of racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual groups rather as individuals. “I am sick and tired of hyphenated Americans,”
declared Rush Limbaugh a few years ago. “It's bullshit. We all want the same things.” But when it comes to winning the votes of African Americans, that goes out the window and the GOP decides that what really matters to black people is not the ideas Republicans espouse but the skin color of the Republicans espousing them.
That’s empirically false. As Nia-Malika Henderson recently
pointed out, the biggest factor determining whether African Americans vote Republican isn’t a candidate’s race. It’s his or her views. In 2006, for instance, conservative black Republican Ken Blackwell won 20 percent of the African-American vote in his campaign for governor of Ohio. In 1994, by contrast, a white Republican candidate for the same office, George Voinovich, won 42 percent of the black vote, largely because as mayor of Cleveland he had pursued policies—like desegregating the city’s police force—that African Americans liked.
