After a nostalgic trip down memory lane in the last video, F.D takes Obama's legacy to task in this one. In the process, he looks at the many glaring issues with Obama's legacy as a president that are often glossed over due to his sterling reputation and historical significance. In the process, F.D takes to task the lessons often taken from Obama and the impact he's had on the image of black success and whether that image is a good or bad thing.
