How about showing up at a funeral for a kid killed in a drive-by shooting? I guess that would not be an occasion for a photo-op.

[@rubencohen2936]

@p1ounce The Obama's need to spend more time in the city. Maybe they could teach young black males not to kill other young black males. The parents aren't teaching the young males right from wrong.

As an Englishman I saw obama as the best president you had for many years. I couldn't see Trump doing half of what he did. No doubt there is some haters out there

He is wonderful to dumb people. Obama fooled so many of y'all into thinking he actually did something when he was president. 😂

[@F.U.B.A.H.O.R]

More stereotype of AAs. Music, sports, or crime. Can we influence and educate AAs to pursue a career in any field besides the ones i mentioned. Im not agaisnt music. But if we focus on music, can we speak on illegalizing music that glamorize drugs, gang, ho*ng etc ? Why is the second amendment the enemy ? How will law abiding citizens protect themselves from imminent danger ? Are we going to be given a magic device like zeno gave goku to instantly summon by magic a police officer or something ???

He should have dropped in on the migrants! He's the one who started the crisis.

[@JohnSmith-pg9ns]

Bro he left office many moons ago why are you so angry at him? What did he do to you? Migration problems has been going on for decades and decades

[@hanaj]

Right… or maybe it was the former Republican Presidents who destabilized Central and South America meddling in our countries politics. As per usual Republicans cause crisis and wait until Democrats are in power to blame them.

Idk maybe coding isn’t as life fulfilling as a career in music for some. But I also love that negative connotation you put on being a rapper. Pretty shtty mindset I’d say. Rap is music. They’re musicians. Just another one of those comments that people don’t realize is kind of racist.
