Mr. President, so since you were — since I was in college, which is when you were elected, I’ve watched everything you’ve had to go through — jumping through hoops, going over hurdles, everything. And there’s been a common notion amongst my peers — peers who were very interested in getting into politics, being politicians, even that — this idea of if Barack Obama can’t say or do what we think he wants to say or do as President, then could any of us ever do that if we get into politics, be it about Ferguson, about gay rights — any of these things where we feel we know what he wants to say, but he can’t really do it at that moment.

Is that a sentiment that you are commonly aware of? And does it at all inform kind of how you want to wrap up your presidency? And I guess if you were trying to advise someone in this climate that wanted to make some change or have an immediate impact, would you advise them into getting into politics?

Of all the problems facing America and Black Americans this guy's big question is can the President speak straight on gay rights? And Ferguson, home of a 40% unemployment rate for Blacks. I bet that 2 weeks of riots will help with economic development.

This next election will be about gay rights, abortion, and all the usual bullshit that the President has nothing to do with and does nothing for the people who need jobs or a job that pays better.

I didn't fight and die in Viet Nam and my Black brothers didn't march in Selma so some half white President could not feel free to talk about gay rights.

For fucks sake
