I believe it is wrong to vote for a candidate because you think he or she is going to single out your group for special treatment. This man is fundamentally trying to change this country, if he can't pass what he wants through Congress, he'll find another way to do it "under the radar". And he's giving illegals special treatment by loosening laws so they can stay hoping he will get more votes, that's all. We need a president who improves our situation here, not worsens it.
I think the highschool drop outs make that percent of unemployment for blk men much higher than most. Without highschool you really have much fewer jobs to get hired for.
i'm so sick of us as blacks always pointing the finger at our presidents, government, our history, and blaming others for our faults, obama isn't failing african americans, african americans are failing african americans, we don't value education, we don't value family, we don't value unity, and by saying this doesn't make me an uncle tom, i am against white supremacy, and it does exist, but we are so used to blaming others for our condition, and we barely blame our selves.
@bran1226 Agreed. Black neighborhoods have been wastelands and no amount of legislation could be passed that would fix it. The question is though, what can the educated of our race do to make a difference? I'll be damned if we haven't tried. I see the problem as those who choose to be ignorant to reality will stay that way. I keep telling people in my family to educate yourselves and realize that the only black race can improve is by doing it internally. At this rate it'll take a very long time.
the segregation of people through superficial differences is a distraction from the issues that we should be focusing on. obama came from nowhere and rose to power by exploiting the peoples desire for change, and essentially the only quantifiable difference was his skin colour; because like almost all of of the politicians that have come before he has lied and reneged on his policies that he voiced in order to gain his current position. obama is a tool.
why do blacks consider it racist when someone uses a word that blacks use all the time? Wake up Blacks. You have had rights for 45 years. This race card crap is getting old. Nothing is holding your kind back from surpassing whites except yourselves. Your ancestors had to work their asses off picking cotton in hot fields getting whipped. If they could do that, then you could do good in school and get a good job. This message is by a Hindu.
Is he failling AFRICAN AMERICANS? Who cares?! He is failling all of America. Just like every preseident has since 1962. Soduim Fluoride is in EVERYONES water. Chem Trails are in all our skies. Mercury shots in everyones babies. Not just one RACES!? All of us. All of GODs children. OBAMA , and the whole government , are failling us all.
What i find appalling is that President Obama is held accountable for issues that previous presidents are not/were not. He's suppose to fulfill all of his promises, not that any other has. He is trying to do work and every opportunity the right can they block it. The right/repubs would much rather this country fall deeper in depression and not get any work done for the people than work with the President of this country because he is bi-racial. Most of humanity fucking sucks.
The race issue/racism existed long before President Obama was a thought in the mind of his parents. The African American community must deal with the issue of racism in this country as a whole and not look to one individual to bring it out to be discussed. It's obsurd to even consider he entertains it. President Obama inherited a myriad of issues/problems facing this country. He had to stabilize this economy and deal with all the other issues before implementing any programs he wanted.
Fuckin idiot!!! Sick and so fuckin tired of black pepole waiting for someone to help them. When will it come a time and realize we have to help ourselves? To stop the black on black crime?, To be better parents to our children? To keep our children in school and off the streets and in jail? when will that time come to take responbility for ourselves.
Blacks shouldn't blame no one but themselves, the latinos, Asians aim for Economic Empowerment not dependence on the govt / welfare. Blacks should owned and run their communities from the houses to the stores.
Don't agree with a lot of what Manning has said in the past, but I SO agree with him here! He is right on the money in what he says about Obama here. Obama came in the door with a lot of support from the African-Americam community, but when he got into office, he hasn't even batted an eye at them, except when he needed their support for his healthcare plan. Other then that, he hasn't looked toward the African-American community at all!
First of all any President regardless first of all is to be a president for All the people regardless of color, at the same time during whatever he can to correct All evils and corruptions of the past on a unbias basis that is right and fair for all.
@shadhom that's not true president's before obama president's did things and policies too exclude blacks.when he was running obama did not want too be seen campaigning with blacks.that was the strategy of david axelrod
Are there any black folks at this blog that feel betrayed by this president?? cause it seems like he hasnt done much to help them out much at all hes all about goverment not people
I love how he says Obama inherited a mess.Let's not forget that Obama VOTED FOR every budget and every expenditure that Bush asked for.And he also VOTED FOR the invasion of Iraq.But of course these things are never mentioned by his black friends or liberals in general.
Why should Obama be more concerned for one race over another?Wouldn't this classify him as a racist?And as far as black people in general,there are alot of them who now know that they were lied to just like everyone else.
Every president since Kennedy was shot has been working against the United States and its citizens. What would make people think someone different would be allowed to be president? He's failing all Americans, just like his white predecessor.
Obama doesnt give a sh*t about any blacks (or americans for that matter) he only cares about his masters, the people that pull the strings - wall street for a start. Kinda perverse that Obama's masters are predominantly jewish and white. Cruel joke on the african americans who got sucked in. (dont believe me, just look at the people who surround him in his administration - gives pretty clear indication where his interests lie)
@firemarshall007 Obama is not a puppet. He is just apart of the capitalist system. Technically, we are all puppets trapped int he matrix of Capitalism but that is a whole different conversation.
@Tougemaster06 Obama was paid off in the form of campaign donations before and during the elections by big wall street banks. Who do you think Obama is working for now? The people who gave him that money. He passes fiscal laws benefitting the elites, and then makes empty gestures to liberals on social issues. He is also extending the police state set up by Bush. By the way, if you dont like capitalism, move to North Korea.
@firemarshall007 Ummm..there are other alternatives to capitalism besides Stalinism. You have never heard of democratic socialism or Social Democracy have you?
After years of being mistreated by the American government, the people finally elected an african american president! This black president wasn´t what the people expected and ended up betraying everyone! Now that a black is in power, I guess payback is a bitch!
I would like to see Obama succeed also, but first he would have to drastically "change" his agenda to actually support the principals that make America great.
Obama is not black. Get over it. He's half black at best and only genetically. His only black connection, his father was a Kenyan (not African-American), left him as a child. He was raised by his white mother, his maternal grandparents, and his Indonesian step-father. If we believe Obama's story, he was raised in Hawaii away from inner city blacks. How far removed from black does one have to be to see that there is no connection?
@harveybirdmannequin Ok I'm a Black man and I have a daughter with a White woman. So is my daughter not Black. I feel she is. She's not considered to be White by the majorities of Whites nor is Obama. If Obama was considered to be as White as the rest of the Whites they wouldnot want to assassinate him.
@harveybirdmannequin: Who really cares whether Obama acts "black," whatever that means. We as a race must rise above all this petty shit. We have no one to blame but ourselves at this point in time for our situation. I see many ghetto blacks who don't care about bettering themselves at all. Obama is no savior to anyone. In fact, he's the typical lying politician. What's new? He duped most of you to vote for him with outlandish promises. Get real and get a life! Peace.
@harveybirdmannequin ...President Obama married an African American woman i definitely see the connection, inspite/dispite the fact that he was raised by his white grandparents/Indonesian step-father. Many parents divorce/separate don't stay together for whatever reason. Many other ethnic groups divorce/separate. LOL
Really? So to be considered a black president you have to come from a ghetto neighborhood? So you have to be pedigree black to be considered any sort of black at all? So black children raised by parents of a different ethnicity get their black cards revoked? Also last time I checked African black people, and this will blow your mind, are still black people. How the bullshit you are spouting made the top comments I will never know.
no such thing as "African-American"... you are either American or you aren't. Just listen to what Morgan Freeman says... too many blacks are suffering because they are STUCK in the slave mentality. They expect handouts. NO ONE (black, white, asian, hispanic) should be that way. Watch the true story of "The Pursuit of Happiness".... a black man that WAS DILLIGENT AND A HARDWORKER... AND HE MADE IT BIG!
I believe it is wrong to vote for a candidate because you think he or she is going to single out your group for special treatment.
