Obama visits Door of No Return

President Obama visited Senegal on the first leg of his 7-day African tour and stopped by the Door of No Return, a threshold crossed by African slaves as they were shipped off to the Americas in the 18th century. The first family's next stop will be Tanzania. SUBSCRIBE to the CBS NEWS Channel here: bit.ly/WKcQhX

This was the threshold crossed by HUMAN BEINGS who would then be enslaved to build wealthy nations for free.

PRESIDENT Obama..not Mr. Did people say Mr. Bush? or Mr. Reagan?

[@pinkglitterbae]

His ancestors not being slaves has nothing to do with showing respect.

[@jerrypeters2095]

Yes sometimes Bush and Reagan were referred to as Mr Bush or Mr Reagan. The difference is you were not sniffing around looking for something to complain about when they were President's.

You can see The low brain activity of american people in these comments :)

[@Lemondoor]

Yes they were. There are specific ways you address the President in public, to him directly and in the written.

[@nancycosta2448]

The news starts their story with President Obama and then switches to Mr. Obama. This was probably the middle of a report. However I certainly understand your concern, this was done with previous Presidents. No disrespect was intended.

[@MrRobotGuyHD]

I fr thought they were gonna say my name in the beginning.

[@jimmyleeahojr]

powerful image?

[@courtneythomas7226]

Why did he call him Mr Obama vs president Obama ? They call every president mr president just another form of disrespect

[@monicadriver18]

See how they would not call him president

[@northside3701]

That's the AmeriKKKa talking.

[@jeffreyevans7297]

No it’s President Obama correct yourself. And from this point forward you were always address him as president Obama I believe he earned it

More class in these few seconds than Trump has had in 3 years.

It's mind-boggling to learn that with all the schooling you have you're neither a Billionaire nor President of the U.S.

[@vanessahernandez8819]

I wonder if can use the same door to ship him back....any ideas? Hello? Anyone out there?

That’s a good one!

Mr. OBAMA?!? instant thumbs down

[@numberedntmhsarmy7178]

Yet he was against reparations for slavery. Dont believe the hype

[@Jerry-qb9qg]

It wasn’t his fight. barrack is a descendant of enslaved people. Michelle is, but she didn’t seem to press the issue.

[@tlinville65]

You should All Start Looking at the Unfolding Future,Instead of Constantly Blaming Some Person Today...for the Sins,and Mistakes of Ancestors.400 Years from Now,History will Teach of the Empire that Disappeared for Never Mastering Forgiveness.

[@Davidplex]

they literally didnt blame anyone.

[@arielajoy122]

The BIBLE says to REMEMBER the days of old: it also says to prepare slaughter for their children-so you see YOU have to pay for the sins of YOUR ancestors!! YOU thought no one would have to pay for what they did to GOD"s CHILDREN? HE hasn't forgotten and neither should we-sorry!

[@sandresmarsaw3144]

Had there been change, you could say this. You always want forgiveness from people of color, yet continue to benefit from those 400yrs. How, tell me how can you think you deserve forgiveness? Privilege affords you everything denied to others.

[@UnfilteredAmerica]

We don’t forgive you
