by J.D. Durkin | 12:36 pm, October 9th, 2016
Amid the revelation that Republican party nominee Donald Trump was caught on leaked audio discussing grabbing packs of Tic Tacs and some other unmentionables that certainly dont belong to him, many of his supporters in the Twitterverse and elsewhere have been quick to try to deflect attention elsewhere. But now, in response, a video has reemerged from 1995 of a then-young Barack Obama on tape saying the sentence, Gotta have them ribs. And pussy too.
-snip-
It is however, from a book that Obama is reading, and certainly not a wild claim by the man that he enjoys BBQ and felines in his spare time. The text he is reading is from his own popular Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, and the clip in question comes from a scene where he is discussing the belief structure of Malcolm X with someone.
You guys talking about Malcolm? Malcolm tells it like it is. No doubt about it.
Yeah, another guy said. But Ill tell you what. You wont moving to no African jungle anytime soon. Or some goddamn desert somewhere sitting on a carpet. With a bunch of Arabs. No sir. You wont stop me eating no ribs, either. Gotta have them ribs. And pussy too. Dont Malcolm talk about no pussy. Now you know that aint gonna work.
