President Obama’s statement on Iran this morning.
Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

Black Iran: The Forgotten Legacy of Enslaved Africans in Persia Is Being Resurrected
January 16, 2016 | Posted by David Love
Although Iran receives attention these days for a number of things, including the nuclear deal it reached with the U.S. and other nations, there are other aspects to the nation and its history that have remained elusive. Take, for instance, the history of Africans in Iran. Slavery had existed in the country for hundreds of years, and yet Iranians have not come to terms with their past, if they understand it at all.
One scholar has amassed a collection of photographs and texts that provide a narrative of the story of Black people in Persia, as the Guardian reports. Anthropologist Pedram Khosronejad, who is the Farzaneh Family Scholar for Iranian and Persian Gulf Studies at Oklahoma State University, has devoted his attention to the issue of slavery in Iran since the late 1990s, after studying the traditional clothing of Afro-Iranians.

I love President Obama.
Because, he always tries to hold out the very BEST in each of us. When the forces of negativity are on the field to push war, destruction, chaos, hate, and greed.
OMG!!!! This man is amazing! He is so far ahead of his time and those dingbats!
Good Morning, vitaminlover. You speak TRUTH.
This is why the negative forces have ramped up their energy. Love wins out, ALWAYS, if their are enough of us willing to be a warrior for LOVE.
Like Reverend Sharpton just said, President Obama speaks like a man who has just accomplished something. So spot on!
That is God’s truth. Wow, this is what diplomacy looks like at the highest level. This is what is possible without the warmongers and war profiteers. This is what its like to have a visionary leader.
Well, I choose to leave it here and I refuse to allow any right wing nonsense to enter my head on this. I refuse to listen to them.
Spot on, Liza. Shut that noise down.
SHUT.IT.DOWN.
President Obama SHUTS DOWN the RIGHT WING LIES, every time.
so American citizens, who are you going to believe, the POTUS, who has access to INFORMATION, INTEL, and the capacity to lead with a LEVEL HEAD-AND HEART, or HATEFUL, FEARFUL, RADICAL RACISTS?
President Obama:
1. Nuclear deal implemented
2. Prisons released -American families united
3. SANCTIONS LIFTED-Iran will be returned its own funds-USA saves billions
So it is that when one becomes POTUS, they have access to intel that presidential candidates, Repubs or Dems have access to.
Soi It’s easy to roam the countryside spewing what they would do, or what this sitting POTUS should do to handle Iran.
I can’t wait to hear PBO’s staement. The bobleheads in the lying, disugting media are trying to dictate what he SHOULD say.
