“This idea of purity and that you’re never compromised and you’re always politically woke — you should get over that quickly,”

The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids, and share certain things with you.”

I do get a sense sometimes now among certain young people, and this is accelerated by social media — there is this sense sometimes of the way of me making change is to be as judgmental as possible about other people, and that’s enough. If I tweet or hashtag about how you didn’t do something right or used the wrong verb, then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself. Did you see how woke I was, I called you out. Then I’m going to get on my TV and watch my show … That’s not activism. That’s not bringing about change. If all you’re doing is casting stones, you’re probably not going to get that far.”

inb4 obama gets canceled

i agree that cancel culture is counterintuitive, but people should be held accountable for their actions, even if they’ve grown

Ktt Bernie/AOC supporters in shambles

lmao was Obama your favorite babysitter? Lmfao

yeah this Obama tryna clean up his tracks before we all wake up and realize how big a war hawk he was

ye invented cancel culture

also ironic for you to be applauding this when your daddy tweets about anyone he doesn’t like to heat up his base and direct their anger somewhere

Wish he would devote his public speeches to showing some contrition for the lives of the Yemeni children he’s taken rather than going on anti-SJW tirades about twitter dramas

He's right.

But out of all the OPs to make this thread

obummer

"Uhhhhh let me clear. The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. Like I had thousands of innocent brown folks killed via drone strikes. I had Libya bombed and it went from having the #1 Human Development Index Score to literal open-air slave markets in 4 years! Get over it folks. We need to love each other." - Barack Obama

Okay Gay Satan

man what is this 😳

He should've been "canceled" for the f***ery during his time in office.

Obama has done politically what people hate trump for saying

Trump > Obama any day

but obama is a terrost (and so is every us president)

my goat

Calling out slacktivists.

Obama and Arthur Davis at an event.

Obama talks tough on everything except for black issues. Fck him.
