WATCH: Was Obama's Presidency A Betrayal To The Black Community?

Written by Published

In 2008, the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States was heralded as a momentous occasion for the black community, symbolizing hope and progress.

Yet, as his presidency unfolded, some critics argue that his administration prioritized the LGBTQ agenda over the needs of black Americans. Dr. Umar Johnson, a prominent voice in this discourse, has been vocal in his criticism of Obama's legacy.

During an appearance on "The Sy Ari Not Sorry Show," Johnson asserted, "One of the reasons Barack Obama was made president is so he could normalize the LGBTQ agenda in the black community." He elaborated on this point by suggesting that if previous presidents like George Bush or Donald Trump had attempted to promote homosexuality within the black community, they would have faced rejection.

"Obama was made president to make it normal," Johnson continued, emphasizing that before Obama's tenure, homosexuality was neither a mainstream issue nor accepted as an alternative to the traditional family structure.

According to The Blaze, Johnson further lamented the impact of Obama's presidency on his own career, noting that by the end of Obama's term, the LGBTQ community had gained significant influence. He recounted being "canceled" from delivering commencement speeches due to his disagreement with LGBTQ messaging, questioning, "What does LGBT have to do with my 10-minute speech motivating these 12th graders?" Johnson's experience highlights the perceived consequences of not aligning with the LGBTQ agenda, as he observed, "not agreeing with the lifestyle could limit your opportunities in life."

Echoing Johnson's sentiments, Jason Whitlock of "Fearless" expressed his agreement, describing Obama as a "plant for the LGBTQIA+ silent p crowd." Whitlock praised Johnson for addressing the repercussions of opposing the LGBTQIA+ agenda, stating, "thats what no one ever wants to talk about." He acknowledged the personal cost of maintaining a stance against this agenda, noting, "Im as toxic and as nuclear as you could possibly be, and it does cost you opportunities."

Whitlock further commented on the motivations of public figures who support the LGBTQ agenda, suggesting that financial incentives play a significant role. "They know thats the only way to keep the money flowing," he remarked, alluding to the pressures faced by individuals in the public eye to conform to prevailing social narratives.
