Obama's "Controversial" Speech on Education

Yesterday, President Barack Obama was at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia giving a speech on our education. Nothing to it right? Well, many people thought it was a very controversial speech. Many parents didn't feel comfortable with the fact that our president was talking to the kids of America. They claimed that the Head of State was instilling "socialist" ideals upon them.


Here's the deal behind this so-called controversy. It ain't about Obama being a socialist (and it's clear that he isn't one), it's about him being black. Yes, I pulled out the race card because this is the underline issue here. It's about racist parents feeling threatened at the fact that a black man is telling their dim witted kids what to do. His speech wasn't offensive whatsoever. If anything, it serves as a rallying cry for these kids to do something with their lives for their benefit and for the benefit of our country.


Now as much as I love bashing people for no reason, I have a very good reason to bash the following sad excuse of a person. Shanneen Barron (Nazi last name, oh yeah), a suburban mother in Colorado said the following in regards to the speech: "Thinking about my kids in school having to listen to that just really upsets me. I'm an American. They are Americans, and I don't feel that's OK. I feel very scared to be in this country with our leadership right now." Keep in mind that she said this before the text or the actual speech itself was released for the public.


First: What the fuck is she talking about? She's either the most ignorant person in her neighborhood or she's just a racist bitch. Did she even see the speech after that filth came out of her mouth? He's doing what she should probably be doing at home with her kids. He's telling them the truth: Go to school, or we're all screwed. And what's with "I'm American. They are Americans" bullshit? President Obama is an American too. She definitely needs to get her shit straight! Hell, this speech should apply to people like her. Educate yourself before you open your ignorant trap!


Or maybe she should really express what's really bothering her. What's the matter? You don't like the black man telling your white kid what to do? It's not like he showed his dick on TV (you'd probably need 2 TVs to see it if he did). Deal with it, he's our president and he's got about three more years left in office.


Now guys, personally I don't see any issue with this speech. In fact, I found it to be quite inspirational with great rhetoric and eloquence. My colleagues and I agree that the best line of his speech was: "So I expect you to get serious this year." It's a very powerful sentence and it is the truth in all its essence. We have to get serious about our education. A lot of people put fun in front of education and it ain't right. Now I ain't tellin' y'all to not have fun. Hell I'm an advocate of fun (or party animal) myself. All I'm saying is, this is our future, the future of our country. Lets get serious about the important things in life. It ain't just about education, it's also about our jobs, our relationships, our spiritual lives. If we do get serious about the fundamental aspects of our lives, I guarantee you we'll be living a very satisfying life.
