    If you were serious about meeting the person in the painting you could have parked the chewing gum, Barry.

    that picture is so powerful. I don’t judge people regardless of anything, even those these white internet racists make it very hard for me to do, but I don’t judge. they shouldn’t either. at the end of the day it’s only various amounts of pigmentation, nothing more.

    Is this another: “obama gonna make race a non-issue” video?

  5. memama2 says:

    bsharker Another day obama holds blacks (and illegal hispanics) Up as MO BETTA! And makes videos about “color” being his foremost topic. Over jobs or unemployment or oil drilling or food costs going up (because of LACK of oil drilling)….sad

    FuckTheDrugWar – Want to apply for a White House job? Obama can be found at night stumblin around the rose garden with a couple sneaked smokes and yelling = “Baaaaayyynneerrrrr”!!! = at the moon :) Line forms to the LEFT

  7. memama2 says:

    MsNatualTee202 – that old portrait was about all being equal and all allowed to do their best and compete as equals. Without over regulations or ridiculous rules ruining people’s freedom. “Race” being taken out in all situations. Obama is the opposite of that portrait

    Wow

  9. memama2 says:

    Where are the cops and judges and teachers who helped this happen? Not 1 left? And the other students who accepted and were friends with this girl?

    Why would you dislike this video???? WTF

  17. envanje says:

    US should be ashamed to behave like the worst war criminal on earth by its president proudly announcing the war on a poorly armed and sparsely populated (6 million) Libya did not cost even one American life.

    As though US drones and bombs which are killing and crippling for life Libyan men, women, children and elderly do not matter for Libyans are considered as subhumans by the US president !

    VOTE THE WARLORD OUT OF OFFICE ! RON PAUL 2012 !!!!

  18. OonaCanute says:

    @koeme Great comment–no matter what your political beliefs are, you should appreciate this video!

  19. NeoBuddhist says:

    @envanje You’re taking a systems malfunction that sent a missile off-course as a justification of a claim that Obama’s out to kill Libyan citizens? Don’t be the kind of person that under-evaluates our intelligence and collective conscious. Propaganda isn’t necessary, especially on a video like this.

  20. envanje says:

    @NeoBuddhist The life of just one Libyan child is more important as Obama’s reelection and the President and yourself should be the first to admit that !

  21. NeoBuddhist says:

    @envanje So, an accident that is in no way directly related to Obama is the reason why he shouldn’t be re-elected? Have to do better than that.

  22. envanje says:

    @NeoBuddhist Obama ordered the drones and bombs killing Libyan children you child hater !

  23. NeoBuddhist says:

    @envanje Child hater? Is that your way of demonizing people who don’t hate the same people you do? As much as you dislike Obama, he’s not a madman sitting behind a desk, ordering the deaths of women and children. Reality is not partisan, nor does it cater to your interests. If you need anger management, there’s plenty of therapists out there, but don’t be sending irrational accusations my way.

  24. envanje says:

    @NeoBuddhist So you approve Obama ordering drones and bombs to kill and cripple for life Libyan men, women, children and elderly.
