BREAKING:Obama Denies Permit to Drill at DAPL!

[HollowPoints2]

miss the big picture brehs[/ there isn't a bigger picture dealing with these other groups that have their own agenda and their own interests.

Black Americans have been trying to build coalitions damn near for the past 20 years and it's gotten us nowhere.

Only coalition-building will be foreign Africans or black Africans that come from a different country to America.

Muthfukka a coalition especially with Mexicans.

so what about the water in Flint, Michigan?

 

[ORDER_66]

Obama never promised reparations breh he has freed more prisoners than any president all on drug charges also,He made it possible for poor people to get grants to go to college he added more weeks on unemployment until the republicans stop it..

what did u want him to do for black people give all of us 3 cac slaves

Give us cac slaves?!!?

Nah but they got billions for warships that dont work and trillions for jets, that would be a good look in our collective pockets... Also repealing the dredd scott decision and rewriting the 13th amendment...

Releasing the prisoners yeah it's cool but it's NOT ENOUGH...

 

[Paradise50]

I understand fam, yet when he wanted nikkas to go vote for him, or better yet more recently vote for Hillary, he knew who to go to... so i don't care how he was raised, or see himself.... cause at the end of the day, who did his monkey ass ask to preserve or protect his legacy?

he didn't ask Native Americans, Latinos, Jews, Feminist, Middle Class Wht America, LGBT... he spefiically asked African Americas, but he has yet to do a damn thing specifically for African Americans.

exactly....woke up to his jig awhile ago. Hate I gave that nikka my vote in 2008 but I was like 21. In retrospect there's was no way of me knowing what he'd do once in office so I can't blame myself

This is what I'm talking about. You give black people Earth, they want Mars. You do something good, black people criticize instead of appreciating.

Obama could have said fukk it and not did anything about the sentencing difference that targeted black people. Then families of black people strung out on crack would be pissed off at Obama for not doing anything while their loved one rot away for life while white people on cocaine get off lite. You should blame Congress for using its constitutional right to compromise the ratio instead of giving Obama the 1:1 ratio he wanted.

Obama got criticized during his first term for not having enough black people on his staff. Now that he's employed more black people than any President in history, it doesn't mean anything because it doesn't benefit black people as a group.

Don't you nikkas around here preach the word of putting other black people on once you get on?

All I see is nitpicking and misery.

When the fukk were black people given anything even remotely resembling "Earth"? Last time I checked, this is still a white dominated Earth.

You need to watch your fukking mouth with that cac speak.

It's naive to think any president will allocate to blacks what they allocate to jews or any other group with more economic power and less of a target on their backs.

So Obama sending millions to Israel...he aint sending shyt to black neighborhoods. That shyt would get shot down 100% by congress.

This question never gets answered with realistic goals...

Reparations for the victims of slavery and Jim Crow ought be realistic goals. There's nothing principally wrong with reparations. The practicality of the policy be damned!

I'm sure Japanese-Americans thought reparations after being interned during World War II was a politically impossibility.

 

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

read this and correct.
if you voted for Trump don't worry about figuring out what needs correcting.

Can you re-phrase this? It seems nonsensical.

 

[Jammer22]

A few things I would've wanted from Obama that he could have accomplished:

I would've liked him to have not entertained BLM's fake ass leadership. Those frauds make me itch.

I would've wanted him to task Michelle to target black community instead of Obesity (under the guise of at risk "Urban youth" if need be.

He could've used more coded pro-black signing statements on laws that indirectly target blacks.

Lean on more of his pro-black friends, colleagues, and support to do reach out, tip-off, defending, and helping black grassroots orgs trying to help the black community. (Detroit 300 and others come to mind)

Probably more he could've done, but ...

 

[Denzel_Saucegton]

President Obama is going to go down as one of the most loved and most hated Presidents of all time at the same time.

Idk...I remember seeing bush on one of those rock band album covers

 

[Worthless Loser]

Idk...I remember seeing bush on one of those rock band album covers

Idk. Bush left office with an approval rating floating under and slight above 30%. Obama is at 55% right now. On the flip side they always gonna show respect to former Presidents.

 

[Birnin Zana]

nikkas still falling for game. MBK isn't for black people, it's for "people of color'.

Exactly, it even says so on it's website and in the white house website. Latinos, asians, native americans and more are benefiting from this already too.

 

[Birnin Zana]

You dudes love to drop misinformation on Obama. The black farmers were able to get their settlements because of Obama and pardoned hundreds of non-violent black prisoners that were locked up for drug offenses. Obama has been great president thus far. Policies that he helped pass had lifted this nation out of the recession and lowered the black unemployment rate to 8.1 percents from 16 percent.

FYI, that farmer settlement Obama signed wasn't specifically for black farmers. It was part of a much bigger settlement that benefited Native American farmers as well, and in a big way.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/12/08/obama.black.farmers/

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama on Wednesday signed a $1.15 billion measure to fund a settlement initially reached between the Agriculture Department and minority farmers more than a decade ago.

The 1997 Pigford v. Glickman case against the U.S. Agriculture Department over claims of discrimination against black farmers was settled out of court 11 years ago. Under a federal judge's terms dating to 1999, qualified farmers could receive $50,000 each to settle claims of racial bias.

The legislation signed by Obama also funds a separate $3.4 billion settlement reached with the Department of Interior for mishandling Native American trust funds, along with four separate water rights lawsuits brought by Native American tribes.

This is honestly becoming a reoccurring theme with Obama and his administration. Stuff that may help black people along the way also ends up helping several other groups at the same time. And often, other groups end up being the bigger beneficiaries of the deal, like in the farm settlement situation.

Which isn't a bad thing, per se. But when people say that Obama hasn't done things specifically for black people...they have a point. The way the Obama administration operates, it's as if, in their minds, black people don't have unique problems only they face in this country, while every other group--gays, latinos, asians, (white) women, etc--apparently does.

Michael Eric Dyson alluded to that in a breakfast club interview when talking about Obama. I'm paraphrasing here, but according to Dyson's convo's with Obama, Obama believes that improving the nation as a whole will help improve black people's situation simultaneously. I'm starting to believe that convo as it explains a lot of moves Obama has done as far as black people are concerned.

In addition, the other group's "big elephant in the room" issues have been addressed in some way shape or form and in a major way. Black people's "big elephant in the room" issue however has been barely touched, if at all.

Obama has now done more for Native Americans than he has for Black folk.......... ain't that some shyt

and we're ecstatic about it too...nikkas rejoicing over some shyt that doesn't even affect them. again.

 

[Dre Space Age]

A few things actually. Did you hear of my Brother's Keeper? Probably not. A bunch of idiots here make shallow statements when Obama's program is the best way to help black people. The best way for the black community to change is through mentorship. By getting them off the streets, making sure they finish high school and get in college, they will be successful and in turn, they can mentor the next generation after them.

Read it. The first link you should read. It's a lot of detail and it highlights successes.
