Presidential candidate Barack Obama returned to Selma, Alabama, the site where the civil rights movement began 47 years ago. He spoke at the same church where black leaders first organized to push back against the oppressive forces that were behind the intolerance in the south just two generations ago.

This excerpt of Obama's speech was a slap in the face to those who claim the Illinois Senator is "not black enough." He preached that had it not been for the civil rights movement in Selma, Alabama, he would not be alive today.

  • what's with the faux accent. he's such an IDIOT.

  • Big Dummy was already four years old when he claims he was conceived in Selma. Is he that stupid, or does he think his audience is that stupid, or can he just not stop himself from lying?

  • Wow, so much hate here. Obama never said his parents met in during the marches in Selma Alabama. Snopes says it best:

    snopes com/politics/obama/saywhat.asp

    "That movement did not start with the 1965 marches in Selma; it was a process that began and grew across the years, including among its landmark events the 1955-56 bus boycott in Montgomery (which occurred several years before Barack Obama was born, and before his father left Africa for the U.S.)"

  • Affirmative action employee ... Why doesn;the talk like this when he gives national addresses? What an actor .. POS was never ready to be the POTUS

  • Obama was born in 1961.bloody sunday marches took place in 1965.go figure.

    Use the search feature at the bottom to find words on this document.

    Negro gets how many hits? Seven.

    African gets how many hits? Zero.

    (Black gets two hits but not in context.)

    There's your clue, the C.O.L.B. is a stupid test.

    Time moves forward, that means if they didn't use "African" in 1961, using it today in your faked document doesn't cut it.

    Stupid test. Are you stupid? Yes or no?

    Frank Marshall Davis was born in 1905, old enough to serve in WW2.

    Obama's a love child. In any case, there are two or more strong reasons to impeach him, one involves his ability to conduct assassinations. What's the other one? Ah, get that noggin' churnin'

  • Is this the same pc of chit who claims his father fought in WW2 - when his father was FIVE YEARS OLD?

  • Barry Soetoro was a 4 year old living half a world away in Indonesia when these events happened in Selma, Alabama.

  • I love Obama's FAKE American Black accent.

  • Turns out his parents met BEFORE Selma. Selma had nothing to do with it. His parents had nothing to do with Selma. He is a FUCKING liar.

  • Well, for all you know he subcounciously changed his accent when speaking to black people. Black people do that all the time. Politicians do that all the time, changing their speech and whatnot to fit their audience
