Obama clashes with Kenyan president over ? rights
Barack Obama says “bad things happen” when countries don’t accept their citizens’ right to be homosexual
Barack Obama, the US president, has directly challenged his host Uhuru Kenyatta, the Kenyan president, on the issue of ? rights, suggesting that “bad things happen” when countries don’t accept their citizens’ right to be homosexual.
Mr Obama said that as an African-American, he was “painfully aware” of what it was like to be treated as a lesser citizen in law in his own country and that such discriminatory policies ended up on the wrong side of history.
"When you start treating people differently, not because of any harm they’re doing anybody but because they’re doing different, that’s the path whereby freedoms begin to erode, and bad things happen,” Mr Obama told reporters at State House in Nairobi.
“And when government gets in the habit of treating people differently, those habits start to spread. I am unequivocal on this. The idea they are going to be treated differently or abused because of who they love is wrong, full stop.”
But Mr Kenyatta, who was warned by senior members of his party not to comment on the issue in the run-up to Mr Obama’s historic visit, insisted ? rights in conservative Kenya was a “non-issue”.
“We share so many values, our common love for democracy, entrepreneurship, value for families. But there are some things we must admit we don't share, our culture, our societies don't accept,” he told a frowning Mr Obama.
“It’s very difficult to impose that on people that which they themselves do not accept. For Kenyans today the issue of ? rights is really a non-issue. We want to focus on other areas that are day-to-day living for people.”

"that stuff?"
you do realize there are millions of ? Africans in Africa right... -
This muthafucka. Instead of wanting to partner with the Kenyan government on how to combat terrorism, (which is a bigger problem thyere than it is here considering that they have terrorists openly operating within their border, dude is now pushing the ? agenda worldwide. How another country wants to deal with it's ? is an internal issue that the U.S. needs to stay out of.
It's clear to me that despite being an African American of Kenyan heritage and along with identifying himself as a black man that black people are not a part of the Pres. Obama's constituency. He'll do this pandering ? .
But then it comes to law enforcement disrespecting, brutalizing, and murdering the very same people that he himself identifies with, not only will he not do anything about it, but he's strangely mute on the subject. -
Obama excellence.Clever. Get a "black face" in office to promote that stuff to Africans.......
Ending anti-? violence and all legal and social discrimination against homosexuals isn't promoting homosexuality. In fact, you can be for ? rights and not 'agree' with homosexuality.For Kenyans today the issue of ? rights is really a non-issue.
It's not a non-issue for the Kenyans who are ? or care about them. Those Kenyans are just as African as the ones who aren't or don't.

Out of billions of African.... -
Obama is correct. Africa is an African problem, that's part of being an independent nation. Its not anyone else's job to help you persecute people.

Hopefully one day mankind can conclusively discover what causes homosexuality and eradicate it.

That activity didn't originate from us nor is a part of our history, that's taught from them nasty Europeans. Cr@ck3s......
I like how you skipped over the threat Obozo gave them about "bad things happening" too for not submitting (which I know you gonna try and deny as a threat, but it sounds like one to me).....
-
Too much Fox News bs trickling down,that many of us continue to fall for.
NEVER reporting the full story or all the facts
Obama didn't go over there solely to speak about how badly Kenya treats it's ? .
Obama Brings $1B in Investments to KenyaPresident Obama kicked off a busy weekend at Kenya on Saturday, his first visit to his father’s homeland since becoming president. After arriving Friday evening and having dinner with extended family, Obama dove into a schedule that included addressing economic development, counter-terrorism and human rights, beginning with Nairobi's Global Entrepreneurship Summit.
He brought $1 billion in new investments to the country, half of which he said would go to young and female entrepreneurs. “This is personal for me,” Obama said. “There’s a reason why my name’s Barack Hussein Obama. My father comes from these parts.”

Can't say I agree 100% with Obama's personal stance,but if you bringing a billion dollars to a country....TO HELP THEM....you have a right voice your opinion
-
I agree with the non-? in this thread.

Word, ? all that ? ? MFs talmbout. That comes dead last to the ? Black people are (and been) going through. MFs worrying about ? ? while our situation is getting exponentially worse. Priorities bruh. -
Of course.......
His stay would only last 20 mins (if that) if they were solely discussing ? rights. There's gonna be what they put on the media and what they also have behind closed doors nor for the public. Thing is he was warned/politely asked (however you wanna call it) to not bring up that stuff weeks before he actually got there. Of course he still went through w/ it.

What Obama has said about police brutality is a drop in the ? ' bucket compared to ? like this:
He basically hasn't done ? . -
What I'll never understand is if Obama is soooooo bad
why do people constantly have to lie,twist, and misrepresent things he has said and done???
It's a lie to say he only went to Kenya to speak on ? rights.
It's lie to say he NEVER has spoken on police brutality here in the US.
It's a lie to say he NEVER addressed terrorism in not just Kenya but the rest of Eastern Africa
so on and so fore.
Just one easily disproved lie after another.

Obama had the audacity to state this
When you start treating people differently, not because of any harm they’re doing anybody but because they’re doing different, that’s the path whereby freedoms begin to erode, and bad things happen...
“And when government gets in the habit of treating people differently, those habits start to spread. I am unequivocal on this. The idea they are going to be treated differently or abused ....”
Really ? ?
U the first African American president, and is the symbol of progress for AA , yet every week, the world is seeing news stories that sound like it's from the 50's. While u sitting all shy n mute, with ya loose bowels.
But u wanna fly over seas and tell other ? what it do? Gtfoh cheif.

Again that is a lie
Obama actually never did anything for the ? people other than say they shouldn't be prosecuted and should be given the same rights as straight couples.
What he did to combat police brutality ....on the Federal level(as President that is all he directly can address) was the that cops wear body cams and more importantly curve the militarization of police across the board by working with state & local departments . (Surprisingly not..... his haters and naysayers were not content with even this)

Again that very disingenuous to say Obama only went there to speak on how Kenya treats it ? .
Actually it's a lie.
For some odd reason THAT part of his trip resonate and keeping the attention of certain people more than the other very important and significant reasons of his trip.

NAIROBI — President Obama on Saturday committed the United States to an intensified fight against terrorists in East Africa, announcing here that his administration would expand support for counterterrorism operations in Kenya and Somalia, including increased training and funding for Kenya’s security forces.
“We have to keep that pressure going even as we’re strengthening the Somali government,” he said at a joint news conference with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Word cuz those body cams and lack of grenade launchers are really changing the game.
I voted for the MF the first time too but I'd be a fool to be satisfied with the weak ? way he's addressing the brutality situation.
