Obama expressed concern over lower \u200cvoter turnout among Black \u200bmales and \u2062suggested that \u2064their reluctance to vote for a woman might be \u200ba factor. \u2064He noted, &#8220;we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout&#8230; Now, \u200cI also want to say that that seems to be \u200dmore pronounced with the brothers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Responses on \u2063social media were predominantly \u2064negative,\u200c with critics accusing him of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/derek-chauvins-attorney-files-motion-for-new-trial\/\" title=\"Derek Chauvin\u2019s Attorney Files Motion For New Trial\">race-based pressure<\/a> and questioning \u2062his relevance. Notable figures like former Georgia state Rep.\u2064 Vernon Jones\u200b and conservative \u200cactivist CJ Pearson \u2063condemned Obama&#8217;s \u2064remarks,\u200d arguing that he was\u200b out of touch with the\u2064 Black community. Jones asserted that Obama, \u2062who he claimed has distanced himself \u200bfrom his\u2062 roots, should not dictate how Black men should \u200cvote. Pearson stated that\u2063 he and others would be \u2063voting for Donald Trump, dismissing\u2063 Obama&#8217;s influence.\u200d <\/p>\n<p>Obama&#8217;s comments sparked a backlash, highlighting \u200dtensions within \u2062the Black community regarding political allegiance and\u2063 representation in \u2062leadership\u200c roles.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Former President Barack Obama&rsquo;s attempt to shame &ldquo;brothers&rdquo; into voting for Vice President Kamala Harris hasn&rsquo;t sat well with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/education-group-reveres-black-panther-party-in-new-lesson-plan\/\" title=\"Education Group Reveres Black Panther Party In New Lesson Plan\">black men<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Obama was at a campaign rally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/obama-goes-attack-black-brothers-arent-sure-kamala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in Pennsylvania Thursday<\/a>, lecturing a group of blacks on their lack of turnout for Harris, particularly males.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,&rdquo; Obama said.&nbsp;&ldquo;Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Sickening.
