Crucial for Americans to Resist ‘Hate,’ Obama Says in Rare Address
by Alex Johnson and Associated Press

Americans must have the courage to "stand up to hate" during a time of polarization, former President Barack Obama said Sunday night in accepting an award from the late President John F. Kennedy's family.

"For many Americans, I know that this feels like an uncertain and perilous time," Obama — accompanied by his wife, Michelle Obama, and former Vice President Joe Biden — said in accepting the annual Profile in Courage award at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.

I really miss this President.

Steve Williams Monday, May 8th 2017 at 10:34AM

Will you stand up to hate?

Cue Maher: “Be nice to Ivanka, she’s our only hope—because she seems like she actually knows rationality, but she’s [Trump’s] kid, and she’s the only one who can get to him, and you know he loves her,” said Maher. “If he’s going to do something nutty, we’re going to depend on Ivanka going into that bedroom. Daddy”—cooed Maher, mimicking Ivanka giving Donald a handjob—“Daddy, you have to apologize for that tweet where you called Angela Merkela a ‘****.’ You have to apologize, Daddy!”

Kennedy's family, then I will entertain your opinion, if not, then you are on the wrong topic.

Steve Williams Monday, May 8th 2017 at 11:30AM

The topic is Obama said "stand up to hate." I say OBAMA IS A LIAR.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 8th 2017 at 12:21PM

WOW!!!! So you don't think we need courage to listen to one another, to look inside of self, to have the courage to work on the counties problems together, you say that OBAMA IS A LIAR about that?

How interesting. WOW!!!




Steve Williams Monday, May 8th 2017 at 12:41PM

I say that Obama is encouraging hate, not standing up to it. I also think YOU Ron are encouraging hate.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 8th 2017 at 3:10PM

Why, because President Obama is black?

Steve Williams Monday, May 8th 2017 at 4:05PM

It has nothing to do with Obama's appearance. It has everything to do with what he said during his crusade for Hillary.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 8th 2017 at 6:26PM

What did President Obama say that insight hatred during his crusade for Hillary?

Steve Williams Monday, May 8th 2017 at 7:49PM

You watched him campaign continuously for Hillary for the last month of the campaign and you expect me to believe you don't know? He whipped up racial hatred to a frenzy.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 8th 2017 at 8:54PM

I don't expect you to be a thing, I am asking you to show me show me! What did President Obama say that insight hatred during his crusade for Hillary?

Was it in this speech Steven? Where is this hate speech of Obama's?




Steve Williams Monday, May 8th 2017 at 9:18PM

Now you want me to wade through video archives. He attacked Trump supporters as white supremists, Islam haters, women haters, LGBTQ haters... It shouldn't be hard to find.

Steve Williams Monday, May 8th 2017 at 9:22PM

In this speech he pulled out his old line about tribes, for instance. I call that hate.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 8th 2017 at 9:51PM

You made the accusation of hate, you find it.

What exactly did Obama said about tribes that you call hate?

Steve Williams Monday, May 8th 2017 at 9:54PM

The word itself is a racial slur. Hate speech.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 8th 2017 at 10:04PM

What word are you talking about?

Steve Williams Monday, May 8th 2017 at 11:35PM

Tribes and clans.

Steve Williams Monday, May 8th 2017 at 11:41PM

"Everywhere we see the risk of falling into the refuge of tribe and clan."

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 9th 2017 at 2:30PM

What is your tribe Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 9th 2017 at 3:10PM

The Tribe of Judah, I also identify as an American Steven, glad you asked, Who served this country with honors in this countries Armed Service.

Is this your response of hate speech Steven?

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 9th 2017 at 3:57PM

Do you find this use of "tribe" offensive? That's what I say.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 9th 2017 at 4:52PM

No!!! That is what I said.

Is this your response of hate speech Steven?


Steve Williams Tuesday, May 9th 2017 at 5:17PM

This is the hate word I see Obama used in this speech of his on COURAGE.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 9th 2017 at 7:23PM

The word "Tribe" is the reason why you feel the former President use hatred in his speech of "We Need Courage to Stand Up to Hate."

BOY!!! you are really fishing NOW.

If you reviewed this speech, you would see a man, who is cool, calm, and displaying confidence, using the a clear and direct voice. You will also hear what The Former President Obama was saying, you would have heard that our politics now is filled with division and taking refuge in tribes and clan and anger and those who don't look like us or don't pray the way we do. You would have also noticed that Former President Obama is calling for unity and courage in moments or times like these.

You are really fishing now and hiding behind your own self generated fears and hatred. WOW!!!







Steve Williams Tuesday, May 9th 2017 at 7:41PM

Whom is President Obama calling on? Certainly not himself. Saint Obama?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 9th 2017 at 9:57PM

Former President Obama is calling on all of The American people to come together as one.

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 9th 2017 at 11:40PM

Sure he is.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, May 10th 2017 at 4:17AM

It is right there in front of you.

Steve Williams Wednesday, May 10th 2017 at 8:44AM

He has no credibility to say how to solve hate and division when he's the one who rushed to fan the flames of hate and division.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, May 10th 2017 at 9:50AM

No credibility, you can't proof that! These are just some of his words, find the hate.

If you reviewed this speech, you would see a man, who is cool, calm, and displaying confidence, using the a clear and direct voice. You will also hear what The Former President Obama was saying, you would have heard that our politics now is filled with division and taking refuge in tribes and clan and anger and those who don't look like us or don't pray the way we do. You would have also noticed that Former President Obama is calling for unity and courage in moments or times like these.

This President is calling for unity and courage in moments or times like these.

Where is the hate Steven?



Steve Williams Wednesday, May 10th 2017 at 11:14AM
