Obamas honor Chadwick Boseman: 'He was blessed'

Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama on Saturday paid tribute to “Black Panther” star Chadwick Boseman after the 43-year-old actor died from cancer.

Barack Obama resurfaced a picture Boseman shared in July 2016 after visiting the White House to work with kids while portraying the MLB’s first Black player Jackie Robinson.

“You could tell right away that he was blessed. To be young, gifted, and Black; to use that power to give them heroes to look up to; to do it all while in pain – what a use of his years” the former president wrote.

  2. He died if cancer. So did my father. After raising 11 kids and not taking a dime from the government to do it. Yet a president pay tribute to him?? GTFOH.

  3. Northwest Woodsman: Total waste of newsprint. The Kenyan fraud and his trans “spouse”, Michael, are totally irrelevant at this point. Let them pass into obscurity like the Clinton crime family.

  5. Boseman died from a terrible sickness. He was an entertainer, we thank him for that...now let's move on. Again, only an entertainer - nothing else.

    1. Perhaps if you took off your doofus hat and actually looked at real info, you would see that thia man has participated in a level of philanthropy that takes him well beyond "just an entertainer". We are not defined by our jobs but by our real contributions to man kind

  6. 559pm you have a right to your opinion just like everyone else. Boseman was in the entertainment industry for his source of income and we all are defined/looked upon/judged by what we do.

    Being kind and contributing mostly isn't taken into consideration - unless you are an entertainer.

    Hmmm - interesting how that happens, eh?
