President Barack Obama had a tough-love message for fellow African-Americans urging black parents to push their children to think beyond dreams of being sports stars or rap music performers. Speaking during the 100th anniversary celebration of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or NAACP, America's oldest civil rights group, Obama urged blacks to take greater responsibility for themselves and move away from reliance on government programs.

  • Empower themselves to do what? Be a sock puppet for elilte White Ruling Class?

    If this son of a bitch meant what he said, he wouldn't have re-appointed the same financial terrorists that created the biggest global economic collapse of all time.

    This Negro is the Poster child for House niggaz of all races, colors and creeds.

    If you like sucking elite white ass, vote for Obama.

  • I have question for anyone if I may ask.

    If black people voted for Obama because he was black, would that be OK?

    If white people voted for McCain because he was white, would that be OK?

    This double-standard of hypocrisy is fucking mind blowing and I see / read / hear / experience it every day.

    Anyone ever notice...any white person praising their race is racist, but any other race doing the same, that's empowering.

    It's so cool!

  • Obama is the new Thomas Sankara !

  • one the greatest men of our times!!!!!!!!

    wake up black people, wake up and shine!

    not just in sports but in academics, you couldnt put it better mr president!

  • One troubling provision of the House bill compels seniors to submit to a counseling session every five years (and more often if they become sick or go into a nursing home) about alternatives for end-of-life care (House bill, p. 425-430). The sessions cover highly sensitive matters such as whether to receive antibiotics and the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration."

    This Bill is hideous, indeed evil whether intentionally evil, or evil-guided and directed.
