The second to last question highlights another major component that people overlook: judges. I'd have to look this up to be sure but I want to say Obama has now appointed more judges than W Bush. Most of them will be in the court for the rest of their lives and will continue to shape policy. There are still Reagan appointed judges to this day, doing shyt. And just as Reagan and HW Bush judges have spent decades eroding civil rights, Obama's judges will spend decades re-affirming civil rights. Voting rights come to mind. Discriminatory laws come to mind. Hell, drug laws too.

I know not everyone here agrees with gay marriage but a major reason why it has so quickly taken root in the US is because of Obama and Clinton appointed judges striking down laws. This summer the Supreme Court will likely make gay marriage legal in all 50 states. Why? Largely because of Clinton and Obama judges. Likewise in a few years it's very like that the Voting Rights Act will return to the Supreme Court. Which is why it's essential that you vote for a president who is serious about defending voting rights. Because if not we'll see what happened a couple years ago, with republican appointed judges striking down one of the most important pieces of legislation. Because, as Chief Justice Roberts said, racism is dead.

this is why a nutjob republican cannot win the race in 2016. this race is one of the most important ones in decades

scotus is left leaning right now but a few are about to retire/die

that means that if a republican gets into power backed by a republican congress, they can elect people more sympathetic to the far right's outdated and ignorant beliefs

everyone please go and vote so an idiot like scott walker or ted cruz doesnt accidentally end up in the white house

I will leave it at this and I told folks when dude got in office. If you don't hold the dude accountable cause he is one of us we are fukked as a people. Cause when the next white dude gets in office which will be in 2016 they will say hey black folks why are you bytching at me about shyt. You were quiet when Obama was in office.

Trust this is a fear that a lot of black folks have. Even the ones in politics who have played around and been quiet since Obama has been in office.

Also like I told folks when he got in office. While you praying for him you need to pray for us cause we have to deal with all the blow back. Cause folks can't harm him but they can harm us all while he reluctantly says stuff as to not hurt his party after his 8 years are up.

Cause making sure he plays the game the right way has nothing to do with setting this up for the next black president (ain't gonna be one again for along time). This is about setting and not messing it up for the next democrat president (who most likely will be white).

It's a great listen. You really got to listen though to fully comprehend. You can't half ass it.

Of course we'll still get people calling him a sell out c00n that ain't about us, or whatever else on here.
They'll say he sold his souls to be president etc.

The bank bail out and his foreign policy say otherwise. Obama is the face of capitalism and imperialism, at the moment, which are 2 ideologies directly opposed to Blackness. Yes he has enacted a few socially progressive things but it pales in comparison to the things he has done to further the very White supremacy he spoke of in 1995.
You realize...the bank bailouts probably saved the nation?

I mean...yeah, unpopular...but its something that NEVER happened before.

It looks fukked up in retrospect. More so, the terms of the deal, not necessarily the bailout itself
