Black Internet Drags Amanda Seales For What She Said About Barack Obama

Whether she’s criticizing former Vice President Kamala Harris for “talking out of both sides of her neck” or calling out NeNe Leakes’ plastic surgery, Amanda Seales has never held her tongue about anything. Although she announced she was leaving the Meta apps in a January IG post, she’s somehow found her way back on people’s timelines. This time, she has the internet all riled up after breaking what many Black folks believe to be an unwritten rule – coming for the man they claim as their Forever President, Barack Obama.

“I see lots of folks really still loving Obama, and I be like, still?” she said in a video that has since gone viral on social media. “Please tell me what did Obama do specifically for Black people, please!”

In a bold and emotionally charged message, actress and social justice advocate Amanda Seales is once again stirring up critical conversations. This time, she’s questioning why many Black Americans still praise former President Barack Obama despite what she describes as a lack of action on core issues like reparations and police reform during his time in office. Seales, known for her unapologetic commentary, didn’t hold back as she voiced her frustration: “Obama didn’t even try to push for reparations. He ignored police brutality while Black folks were being murdered on camera. What did he really do for us?” Her statements sparked mixed reactions online. Some agree with her, echoing the sentiment that symbolism is not enough without policy. Others defend Obama, citing political gridlock and the barriers he faced in a deeply divided Congress. Amanda’s comments come at a time when conversations about reparations and police accountability have reached new heights. As more celebrities and public figures use their platforms to challenge traditional narratives, Seales is forcing many to reevaluate the legacy of America’s first Black president beyond just hope and history. Is it time to have a serious conversation about Obama’s policies—or lack thereof—when it comes to the Black community? #AmandaSeales #ObamaTruths #BlackCommunityTalk #ReparationsNow #PoliceReform #UnpopularOpinions #TikTokNews #ViralTalks #WakeUpCall #barackobama #fypシ #viralvideo #fyp #foryoupage #hottea #goodmorning #everyone #blacktiktok #blacklivesmatter #talkthetalk #spillthetea #TrendingNow #talkaboutit #michelleobama #viral #trendingtopic #now

We probably don’t have to tell you that most of the comments have not been nice to her as people point out that even with the best intentions, Obama’s hands were tied with a Congress that made it their job to block everything on his agenda.

“I will say this every time this comes up. We elected a black president and then sent him racist and bigoted house and senate reps from both parties to help him. How we expect change but only changing one guy,” wrote someone on TikTok.

An Instagram commenter agreed that the odds were always stacked against the country’s first Black president.

“I say this with love, but also with clarity: it’s deeply irresponsible to get on Beyoncé’s internet and use your platform to diminish the legacy of the only Black president this country has ever had, especially when you know the rules were never the same for him,” they wrote.

Others took the time to remind her that no matter what she thinks about former President Obama’s accomplishments, the current occupant of the White House is doing even less for the Black community.

“Bro, shutttttt uppppppppp…. Why are you discussing ANYTHING negative about Obama when there’s a a sitting Pres terrorizing America right now. This just pissed me off,” wrote someone on Instagram.

Most of the comments came from people who are just plain tired of hearing Seales talk.

“She’s been off my timeline and here yall come bringing her back😒,” they wrote.

But one commenter pointed out that we shouldn’t depend on one person to save the Black community, even if he is the President of the United States.

“The real question is what do we do for ourselves 🤔???” wrote someone on TikTok.
