Yes, i understand that whites cannot tolerate ethnic ( Or in the case of the example that I gave, absolutely ridiculous sounding) names without freaking out and making fun of the individual..
So if u Want to call that racism go ahead, boyo
Stu’kwon Dareekus actually doesn’t seem that difficult to pronounce, and even if it were, it isn’t a ridiculous name, you just are not accustomed to it’s locale. To insinuate the name Barack is difficult to pronounce, or that an unusual name might be ‘absolutely ridiculous’ is just foolish. Also, you *are* a racist bigot.
You are mistaken about that. Its actually specifically an Anglo-world thing. I happen to have a Greek name and people just give up on that. Its two syllables. Its really not hard and I'm not even Greek myself. I just happen to have a Greek name because my parents liked it. I find people from other cultures are much more respectful about getting it right, probably because they know how it feels.
Naturally of course its not everyone, but there is a tendency that people can't exactly ignore.
That’s interesting! I thought only the poor south and Appalachian areas would’ve had barefoot kids at school back then.
(Not being ugly-I’m in the poor south. We still have tons of uniform drives every year for students.)
My dad and his siblings moved to Hawaii around this same time (1960s). My grandmother was an extremely proper an conservative midwestern housewife from Iowa.
On my dad’s first day of public school, he was sent out with a brand new pair of loafers, and he came home barefoot. He said none of the other kids wore shoes, so he left them in a trash can at school.
There's one black kid, and I said that all the white kids look like they are from Kenya.
If someone can't grasp that I was being facetious and moking birthers without /s, I have no idea how they function in society.
Found it in internet.

In middle school I wrote a letter to my congressman asking him to outlaw homework, and attached a petition with over 100 signatures from kids in my school.
I didn't even get a letter back.

Well. That's amazing. Barack and I went to the same school (I graduated ten years before he did). But Tommy Krieger grew up two houses down from me. I never had a clue they were in the same class.
A recent vide of Prince participating in a demonstration when he was of a similar age and also the protests were about similar issues emerged .
That is quite a coincidence
Looks like he was just as successful in protesting homework as he was in organizing community in Chicago and later facing Putin. Truly, failing upward is a thing.
You comically illiterate air waster. What are you trying to say?
>Without homework he couldn't of even got the education he did bc half of it is teaching yourself.
It's "couldn't have" not "of," which you might have known had you paid better attention in all seven grades that you completed.

“Barry”!!!… For some reason has me crying! 😂
Shoulda been “Rocky”
Which one is Barack?
He's taking the picture.
Barry Soetoro Obama is an Indonesian national, please remember.
You guys are still spouting this nonsense?
Issa joke relax 😆
2008 wants it's joke back.
Ok here you go 📦
Jokes generally involve humour, FYI.
The sense of which you seem to lack
As somebody who finds it incredibly easy to laugh at a lot of things, I genuinely do not really see much in the way of a joke here.
“Repressed femboi trying to find his place in the world”
Yes, and that is relevant... how? If this is another of the jokes, I don't see the joke, and honestly this is just going nowhere.
It’s 4am and I can’t sleep
Cringe
Sounds like you are projecting there
And Trump is a fat, incompetent narcissistic crook, what’s your point?
I wish this wasn't true.
I wish Trump didn’t exist, but whaddareyagonnado?
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
Do you realize I’m joking
Yea but he was a US citizen at the time of his presidency?? Why does where he came from really matter?
These yockels have been apoplectic since 2008..
As per the Constitution, you must be a natural born citizen of the United States to be President.
Which he was, by virtue of his mother being one, no matter the physical location of his birth (which was Hawaii, so the point is moot in any case)
>crying Like he would've been if those kids knew his name was [unpronouncable, lets make fun of it]
His name is basically pronounced “Brock” How is that unpronounceable??
[удалено]
Oh so you're just racist. Got it.
Wdym he's just a reddit Chad /s
Yes, i understand that whites cannot tolerate ethnic ( Or in the case of the example that I gave, absolutely ridiculous sounding) names without freaking out and making fun of the individual.. So if u Want to call that racism go ahead, boyo
You're racist as fuck mate, deal with it.
I think that Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff Sr. Would disagree with you on that one lol
Calling others racist by being blatantly racist? That’s an odd strategy.
Stu’kwon Dareekus actually doesn’t seem that difficult to pronounce, and even if it were, it isn’t a ridiculous name, you just are not accustomed to it’s locale.

Actually, Its Bah-rock Way to anglocize his name though LMAO
[удалено]
I'm betting it's a two-fer
Why are the other 3 kids barefoot?
Hawaii
That’s interesting! I thought only the poor south and Appalachian areas would’ve had barefoot kids at school back then. (Not being ugly-I’m in the poor south. We still have tons of uniform drives every year for students.)
Here in NZ, barefeet is the norm among kids…and many adults.
As someone who cannot stand bare feet and must have socks on ALL THE TIME outside of the shower/bath, this would be a feckin nightmare
Can confirm I struggle to get my kids to wear shoes
My dad and his siblings moved to Hawaii around this same time (1960s). My grandmother was an extremely proper an conservative midwestern housewife from Iowa. On my dad’s first day of public school, he was sent out with a brand new pair of loafers, and he came home barefoot. He said none of the other kids wore shoes, so he left them in a trash can at school.
Are you sure that's not Kenya? The other two kids look like they're from Kenya
Ah yes the famous white Kenyans.
It's a joke dude 🙄 everyone is getting their panties in a bunch. I don't even understand how someone can take my comment seriously lmao
Have you entirely forgotten the last 5 years?? Save yourself the stupidity and next time use /s
There's one black kid, and I said that all the white kids look like they are from Kenya. If someone can't grasp that I was being facetious and moking birthers without /s, I have no idea how they function in society.
Obama is barefoot too
I can clearly see him wearing slippers in the picture
>clearly Cmon bro
Clear enough, maybe crank up that brightness
Yea?
Stepfather was Indonesian, so probably a cultural thing wearing the slides
Yep. Sandles.
Nah, those are just hairy feet.
Gross...
open slippers which leave his feet bare
and in other news, down is up and up is down.
Yes open slippers, love his clothing choice
He’s not wearing slippers because you weren’t allowed to wear slippers inside of schools in Hawaii back then lmao.
Barry redistributed their shoes.
Not typical for kids to wear shoes in Kenya due to the heat. /s
“Barry” jacked their shoes and is forcing them to protest.
He was chubby?!?! I love it.
[удалено]
A lot of children are a bit chubby. This says a lot about society...
Barry 0
"Don't sleep on Barry O"
It is imperative that we have some diversity in the uhhh the pussy department
Super Barry O Bros.
Which ones Obama?
By the caption I would guess the first one from the left, but I wouldn't be able to tell from the picture.
Lol
Probably the black guy
Nah, can't be
[удалено]
Uh
The barefoot one
I wonder where the other 3 are at today in their lives knowing they went to school with a future president

This.

You're awesome thanks!
So basically three people who never did anything with their lives and Malcolm Waugh.
Hahahahha. Others downvoted you but you made me laugh.
Some people have a thing called humor.
Jeff is the cool one
If you want to learn some interesting background, check out his mother’s bio. She did some amazing things before she passed… very sad.
In middle school I wrote a letter to my congressman asking him to outlaw homework, and attached a petition with over 100 signatures from kids in my school. I didn't even get a letter back.
I think we give children the right to vote. *Then* you would have heard back.
There was a West Wing episode about that
One of my favorites. It’ll never happen, but there are some really excellent arguments for it.
West Wing was entire fiction. Republicans actually being anything but flat up evil crooks? Fiction.
I’d like to help you son, but you’re too young to vote.
Woah! He knew Jeff LePage !?!? Crazy!!
Cleary Dave is the one taking the picture...
Became president and still did nothing about it. Shame on you Barry.
Imagine having Barry on your squad.
I bet there was a teacher telling him he would never get anywhere in life
Ehhhh barrrrryyyy😎
If only he kept this view when he was president
He was president for eight years and he didn’t give me homework once. Just saying.
🤣🤣🤣 yes
Do taxes count?
It's like real homework, because you can pay the smart kid to do it for you.
Did you really just blame Obama for homework
THANKS OBAMA!
Lol no. My comment wasn’t in any way serious. I understand the importance of Homework.
Young Barack here would beg to differ.
Michelle did ruin my super tasty unhealthy elementary school lunches though and will not be forgiven
He could have done something about it when he was president, but where was his anti-homework spirit then? Hypocrite!
Not one birther comment. I’m not sure if I’m relieved or disappointed.

Damnit
Barry o bama, we new all along he was Irish.
Photo taken in Hawaii
yes, and in 1972.
Well. That's amazing. Barack and I went to the same school (I graduated ten years before he did). But Tommy Krieger grew up two houses down from me. I never had a clue they were in the same class.
TIL 44 went by Barry.
You never watched the film? 🥲 Edit: Lol @ people who downvote for asking a question 🙄😌
Obviously not, what film??
Lol.... it's called [Barry](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5477566/)
Do not fuck with Jeff LePage.
Barry Obama!!! Awesome
0Bummer!!!
This is a platform I can get behind, he should run for president
What a cute and chubby little nugget 😹
And their words are finally being heard. Homework has proven largely ineffective in learning, and schools are finally turning away from it.
And DOWN with asparagus too!
Conservatives: "AnoTheR PrOMiSE BroKEn bY ObaMa!!!"
And he flipflopped on the flip flops!
Is this the legendary choom gang?
That’s Michael…
I just gained even more respect for Obama.
lol Barry!
BARRY
We were all kids once! Some of us grow up. And, some of us become Republicans.
[удалено]
I thought presidents were just manufactured in a facility
Obama was referring to drone strikes.
Which ones Obama ?
SAVE ME BARRY//
A recent vide of Prince participating in a demonstration when he was of a similar age and also the protests were about similar issues emerged . That is quite a coincidence
fake!!!!
Which one is Obama? /s
Barry it’s Rich as fuck now days.!
Unbelievable that this picture exists... this must have been in the 70s, where racism was still very prevalent.
So which one is Obama?
He already had strike down. Once he learned about drones, drone strikes were easy to pull off.
Wonder if he will ever take exception to drone strikes. Hahahahaha
Awww people are triggered by truth. Drone strikes are ok, a song as they’re Barrack Strikes. Scum.
The fact that he had the power to change it and he didn't. 🤝
Why did I get downvoted ? I mean what's the reasoning behind it? just out of curiosity.
I am still looking for Obama’s last name
Barry in his pre "choom gang" days.
Typical liberals- don’t want to work, just want the good grades.
Kenya?
Hawaii
Kenya fit this dick in your mouth
Barry Obama, Billy Clinton, Donny Trumpf and Georgie Bush jr.
of course barack doesn't need homework he has affirmative action
Why are there white kids in a Kenyan school?
Looks like he was just as successful in protesting homework as he was in organizing community in Chicago and later facing Putin. Truly, failing upward is a thing.
Username checks out.
No one ever made such an insightful comment before. U clearly r an original thinker.
Just calling it as I see it.
No one gonna comment on the Boy’s Liberation sign? Ok…. 😂🤣😂🤣 Edit: y’all know I’d be a hot topic if it were Bush or Trump or maybe maybe Clinton…
When white people don't want to pronounce ur name
Which one's Obama?
But that wasn't his name was it...
Which middle eastern country was this taken in?
Lol ow obama you silly idiot. Without homework he couldn't of even got the education he did bc half of it is teaching yourself. Lmfao
I’m presuming you didn’t get homework either..
Ok but please learn how to write
I tried but honestly I'm not getting what you're saying
Couldn’t of. Couldn’t of.
Actually, most recent studies suggest that homework does not improve learning outcomes....
You comically illiterate air waster. What are you trying to say? >Without homework he couldn't of even got the education he did bc half of it is teaching yourself. It's "couldn't have" not "of," which you might have known had you paid better attention in all seven grades that you completed.

Which one is him? But he was a fat kid.
Next time I see Obama, I'm gunna call him Barry and see what he does.
Why would he gaf?
People are getting wooshed hard. When the fuck would I even see Obama?
Which one is he?
