Barack Obama is urging Black men to step up their support for Kamala Harris, a sign that her campaign is worried about what is typically a reliable demographic for Democrats.
Referencing reports that support for Harris is lagging among Black males, the former president gave what amounted to a scolding as he made an unscheduled stop at a campaign field office in Pittsburgh.
“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I’ve got a problem with that,” he said. “Because part of it makes me think— and I’m speaking to men directly— part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”
Reverse way of saying “Vote DEI”.

yeah, they are getting VERY desperate right now. holy **** . things must be a lot worse than they are letting on.
Obama was sent out by White liberals to “Blackman-splain” to get Black men to vote for Harris.
Wait, his mother and Kamala’s mother are both “WHITE.”
Obama doesn’t even have Black neighbors, and 99% of his handlers are White.
I don’t have anything in common with Kamala.
No Thanks BO, Blacks had enough of you and
Obama leaves his mansions in Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard, where billionaire white people hang out with him, to act like he is oppressed by the Man. Democrat race hustlers are in panic.

These black guys have so much more in common with donald trump.

Those mansions sit mere yards from the ocean, I guess the climate ruse is exactly that and the "Rising seas" BHO spouted off about isn't really real..Huh?
What exactly did he do for the black community in Chicago and this country? Nothing they are still suffering and poorer thanks to inflation. He came in as middle class and came out a millionaire. Truly a Divider/Deceiver in Chief. A grifter.
@QuaintDeerDemocrat4wks4W
Obama's people are still pulling the strings in the Biden administration, and will likely do so, if Harris wins. Obama's way of fundamentally changing the US.

Best assessment of this situation yet. This is all soft bigotry. It's racism. As usual, identity politics is used by the oligarchs to divide and distract so that they can continue to maintain control, and do whatever they will with our money.

The black community should vote for whoever they believe can benefit their daily lives, and their family better - no different than any other voter.
As a woman, I don’t need to vote for Kamala bc some women a hundred years ago fought for my ability to vote.
I vote for which party will contribute the most to my wellbeing.
I wonder if the Dems will ever wake up to how their thinking is exactly what is causing them to lose ground.
He’s trying to schoolmarm guilt a bunch of black men into voting for a female cop. Little does he know, black men seldom listen to teachers.
Everyone should vote for who they believe benefit the country more. Obama shouldn't shame others for having different views.
@9VTQWWX4wks4W
People are entitled to vote for whoever, but I understand Obama's perspective. Not saying it was the best approach but I am saying I get it.
