Former President Barack Obama was a guest on the Breakfast Club radio show in New York City on Wednesday.
Co-host Charlamagne tha god put Obama on the spot, asking him why he didn’t do more for Black people in his 8 years in office.
Co-host DJ Envy also pressed Obama to explain why he uplifted LGBT+ people while Black people didn’t receive any tangibles.
Obama said, “Look, I’m just trying to sell books.” Just kidding. He didn’t say that. But he may as well have.
Obama said he was confident that he did more for Black people than current President Donald Trump. He said he just didn’t go around bragging about what he did.
He also blamed Republicans for blocking his attempts to do something for Black people. But Democrats held the majority in both the House and the Senate in Obama’s first 2 years in office.
