He was right. Voting for Harris IS voting for ourselves. Voting for trump is voting for what YOU want. Now you racists can quit trying to create a division in the blac community.

Never.
I think it's a mental condition with him....can not let go of "the topic".
Without the word "race" he wouldn't be able to post anything.

Well your boy Obama is on the record in Pittsburgh lecturing your Brotha's as why they need to support Harris and its all about voting, not for their choices, but because they're black and have to support 'their kind'.....
Obama created quite a fire storm...................unbelievable he made those comments, insulting blacks who think for themselves and don't need lecturing on who to vote for. The Bitch is in trouble with the black vote.

TLDR.How is it that members here on the right only think things are about race when blacks talk about it?
When they complained about CRT wasn't that whites making an issue of race? Wasn't that white racist demagoguery? And what about Trumps rise? He rose using white grievance that started during Reagan. White grievance is all about race. How many untalented, uneducated whites have become wealthy and famous by pushing white grievance? Why isn't that considered a race hustle? Why isn't white grievance called an industry? Why aren't the whites whining about how hard it is to be white dissed as having a victim mentality? Why aren't whites in this grievance industry told how they are using race as a crutch to cover for their personal failings? Why didn't whites on the right consider Trump picking 3 white justices as picking justices only because of race? There were black conservative justices with better qualifications than Gorsuch, Kavanaugh or Coney -Barrett. And why wasn't Coney Barrett considerd a DEI choice because Trump was told he had to pick a woman?
White people have a race — but everyone flips out when we talk about it
As far as Lee Bebout was concerned, his Arizona State University course, US Race Theory and the Problem of Whiteness, was off to a good start. A multiracial, politically diverse group of undergraduates was enrolled. He’d prepared a syllabus and was ready to lead them in seminar-style discussions, assigning basic readings and weekly papers on the history of race in America and other topics.
But the class had met exactly once in the beginning of the 2015 spring semester, when news of it — or its title, at least — spread past campus. Bebout was at lunch with his wife in January when a producer for a conservative radio show reached out to book an interview about the course. Next, Fox News wanted to talk.
"I thought, ‘Oh god, this might not be a good thing,'" Bebout, who tends to talk about the controversy in bemused understatements, remembers.
Then came the hate mail. Lots of it. More than one message commanded the 38-year-old professor, who is white, to "go live in Africa." The outrage reached a fever pitch that transcended the everyday internet trolling that goes hand in hand with just about any news that relates to race.
"Things got obviously weird," he says, "when white supremacist groups came to my neighborhood."
It was more than weird — it was scary. He received death threats. All for daring to talk about whiteness.
The people campaigning against the course were incensed at what they understood to be an entire semester dedicated to slamming white people. But the Problem of Whiteness wasn't designed to convince students that white people are a problem. The negative language in the course's title was simply a nod to how tough it can be to talk (or even think) about what it means to be white, when white is so deeply etched in the minds of many Americans as a synonym for "raceless" or "neutral." The reaction to the course seemed to prove this thesis.
Bebout, then an assistant professor of English (the school stood behind him, and he's since received tenure and is a full professor) had previously taught courses like Transborder Chicano Literature and American Ethnic Literature. He says he created the Problem of Whiteness for practical reasons: "I can study Chicano studies, I can do critical race theory to some degree, but without understanding whiteness, it felt like there was this big gap that I wasn't able to understand in the field."
In other words, you really have to understand the idea of whiteness to even begin to talk about race in America. As Columbia University historian Barbara J. Fields told the producers of PBS's series Race: The Power of An Illusion, it was self-identified white Americans of European descent who "invented race during the era of the American Revolution as a way of resolving the contradiction between a natural right to freedom and the fact of slavery." Slavery is over, but whiteness remains the identity against which ethnic groups are compared and the identity that racism protects.

"it was self-identified white Americans of European descent who invented race during the era of the American Revolution as a way of resolving the contradiction between a natural right to freedom and the fact of slavery."
Whites invented race in this country. Therefore whites are responsible for the problems caused by what they created. This means that riht wing whites need to stop asking everybody else how they can fix the problem. All whites must take steps to eliminate the problem they created. Not just some while others sit on their asses criticizing those who try making an effort to end racism. This is not about who owed slaves during the Jurassic era or what Africans did; and don't try that tired lie about Anthony Johnson or how some blacks owned slaves too. Stop lying about how it's all in the past, because this forum shows that it is not. Take some of that responsibiity you tell everybody else to take and do your part.
You might be clinical.

He's not on record doing squat. From where I sit as a black man, Obama spoke truth. From where you sit as a racist white male trump supporter, Obama lectured. Now your opinon has no credibiity as for how back men should vote in this election. Your desire to see trump in power and return America back to total white supremacy colors your opinon. As a black man who has watched trump diss us in every way, a brother with Obamas standing speaking to other black men is right on time. It's called an endorsement when the white boy ex presideent talks to white men. So concern yoursef with the white community and stay out of black folks business.

I keep hoping that someday you will wise up. Americans, other than racists like you, want equality. The vast majority of us don’t give a tinker’s damn what color someone’s skin, or what god they believe in. You have had over sixty years of preferential treatment because of the color of your skin. It’s time for you to man up and compete on a level playing field with the rest of us who have been sacrificing to support your advancement for those sixty years.
Your constant refrain that any black who doesn’t slavishly agree with you isn’t really black gets old. Blacks are like everyone else, some are racist, some are criminals, some are fools and some are wise men.

Someone once told me there are heroes and zeroes in every group. Sounds corny, but I said it anyway.

And whites who practice and deny racism are the zeroes in the white community.

Telling me that it's thinking for ourslves to vote for someone who wants to take away everything we have gained just isn't going to work.
