Condemnation of Racist Video

In a significant move, several Black conservative organizations and allies of the president have publicly condemned a racist video shared on his social media platform. The animated video, which depicted former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama with ape-like features, drew swift and strong rebukes. The Black Conservative Federation was among the voices calling the imagery “unacceptable, offensive, and indefensible.” This rare public dissent from the president’s own supporters highlights a clear line against blatant racism that cannot be ignored.
