Obama’s Words Being Used To Deface Confederate Monuments In The South

Racial division largely created by the Obama White House continues to fester throughout the nation. Over the weekend the latest example was the vandalizing of a Confederate soldier memorial near Fort Sumter in South Carolina – a location historians often point to as the beginning of the Civil War.

 

The above is a quote by President Barack Obama during the eulogy he gave to slain South Carolina pastor and state senator, Clementa Pinckney. The words were among the president’s most divisive of that eulogy, ones that were largely ignored by a media that focused instead on the president’s singing.


Even those with a cursory understanding of the causes of the Civil War know slavery was but one of many issues involved and was likely a secondary one at that. It should also be noted too that Clementa Pinckney himself gave a far more appropriate and historically honest speech on the sacrifices of all soldiers who fought in the Civil War, both North and South just weeks before his tragic death. 


Pinckney did not call out one side as wrong, or demean an entire region in order to further his own political standing – that kind of thing is the realm of politicians like Barack Obama.
