i said it before and ill say it again. Black people are going to be the downfall of our president. Not because of what he said..but because Niggas always want handouts.

 

[CottonCitySlim]

Nothing wrong with this he is the president not your savior he has multiple people to worry about. People need to evaluate themshelves and try to do for themshelves before asking for free shit.

 

[Dr.Chemix]

Auburn, tho?

 

[texas409]

He's the president of America in GENERAL so I see nothing wrong with his statement.

truuuf

 

[irad4185]

T/S has a point. I would support it regardless but let's not pretend the Dream Act wasn't specifically geared towards reaching out to the Hispanic vote. But on the other hand what exactly can Obama do for Black America? Unemployment and gun laws aren't changing anytime soon.

 

[High Revolutionary]

Racial issues aside, what about him saying he was going to protect medical marijuana? The NDAA? Attacking Libya and Yemen without congressional approval? Expanding executive authority more than nearly any president before him. Introducing drone use over US soil? Impending attacks on Iran and Syria?

 

[Dr.Chemix]

And???? When niggas gonna realize the agenda rolls on with or without the president? president has no power...

 

[High Revolutionary]

So why even respect the Presidency at all?

I mean Obama technically has the power to amend some if not all of the things I listed.

I guess laying down and playing a position is what's hot these days.

 

[IamtheVILLE]

fuck obama. and yes he should pander to niggaZ. hell the other forty something presidents catered to whites. and fuck latinos, hispanics and whoever. niggaZ are the last for everythang. and who the hell is looking for a handout. niggaZ just want an even playing field

Black people need to stop complaining about

Obama on this shit... It's old and tired... stop

beggin for shit (Tavis and Cornell). Does Obama

have a magic wand to fix the hood and

unemployment for niggas that didn't wanna go to

school???

To some degree he does. You don't think his ability to change the discrepancy on the crack cocaine laws show that he has some ability to help people?

Niggas need to realize that its more than just poor black folks that demand some assistance, its poor whites, arabs, latinos etc.

He waves a "magic wand" to help everybody except those that need it most. There's no excuses in his position, he can use the bully pulpit to help if he wanted to, but he doesn't.

i was gonna post this but i wanted the self hating posters to go first.

fact is that issues in the "black community" are actually americas problems too. but so many of yall are so desensitized to these issues and the ppl that suffer from them that you for got this.

if 1000 ppl get murdered in the hood in a year, then 1000 ppl in america got murdered

i love it how ppl on this site who are not even white take white view points etc ... as if the politics of their community help you. you arent white and you wont be accepted into their circles or families. your just a flunky that watches too much tv and picked up some of their mannerisms and you think that mickey mouse small world bullshit is true. LOL we'll see what your views are if another depression hits.

So what exactly is the problem with his statement? He's the President of the UNITED STATES, what he said isn't a problem. Does he owe favors or something? Is there something I'm missing?

so we gone act like there's a black person in america that didnt vote for this man

if a million ppl from a town in america buys your album for example, and then a tragedy or disaster hits them, you cant even do a free show to raise money for the victims??

see what youre doing is mixing personal shit with politics. personally no he doesnt owe anyone any money out of his pocket. but if you have the power or influence to help someone with out even having to put forth much effort, AFTER THESE SAME PPL HELPED YOU ACHIEVE SUCCESS

then got dayum homey

The president is a figure head position the people that are actually in control farther their goals regardless

 

[Mr.Bocario]

Lets just be honest, Obama's part of,the,black elite that look on other blacks. why do people go out of their way prove how detached they are from their own people. we are literally the only race in this country that tries to separate themselves

Obama To Announce New Initiative To Boost Black Educational Outcomes

The Obama administration has launched the first steps of an ambitious plan to dramatically improve academic achievement among African-American students from the “cradle to career.”

President Obama signed an executive order last week, which established the first ever White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African-Americans.

The new initiative will coordinate federal agencies, various partners and communities nationwide. Its charge will include seeking and sharing evidence-based `best practices’ around the critical issue of black student achievement.

The initiative has sweeping goals. They include providing African-American students with greater access to high-level, rigorous course work and support services; developing and retaining greater numbers of top-notch African-American teachers and principals; reducing dropout rates and increasing college access; and expanding access to quality adult education, literacy, and technical programs.

President Obama recently told an audience at the National Urban League convention in New Orleans, he wanted to ensure “every child has greater access to a complete and competitive education from the time they’re born,” with pathways to high school and college graduation, and a productive career.

"oh he only doing that for.......... blah,blah,blah, whine,whine,whine,...........

So what should he had said? I'm a president for only black people? How does that work out for him when he tries to get bills passed? What about the white votes to help him stay in office? He was voted in as President of the United States, not President of the black folks. And if he was, niggas be talking shit about that.

We gotta give him credit somewhere. I don't trust government but at the same time, Obama got my full support. The man stepped into one of the worst situations left by one stupid ass former president. And he did quite well taking the backlash while fighting to get America's economy, health plan and jobs in order.

is he?... is he now??

if he was truly our leader, he wouldn't have traceable blood ties to 6 prior american presidents that include George Bush, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, James Madison, & Sir Winston Churchill, A former British prime minister.. it's painfully obvious that these people are covertly passing the reigns of control back & forth to one another as a way of secretly maintaining power..
