BREAKING:Obama Denies Permit to Drill at DAPL!

[Birnin Zana]

A few things actually. Did you hear of my Brother's Keeper? Probably not. A bunch of idiots here make swallow statement 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 success 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.

My Brother's Keeper

Few things...

1. My Brother's Keeper is for "boys and young men of color." Not specifically black people. This includes latinos, native americans, asians etc.

2. In addition, My Brother's Keeper is also a non-profit now: My Brother's Keeper Alliance.

Unfortunately, it isn't policy. It will face the same disadvantages that most non-profits face when trying to achieve its mission, such as fundraising and its fate/direction being determined by the board of the non-profit, not necessarily Obama himself. This is especially so once he is no longer president.

From a nonprofit sector perspective, there are issues. As Bloomberg News and others have reported (and as many foundation people at the Council on Foundations annual meeting hinted prior to this week’s announcement), the My Brother’s Keeper initiative may be the philanthropic vehicle that President Obama will ride as he leaves the White House. It is sort of his social mission, comparable to the international humanitarian agenda of former President Clinton.

However, like the Clinton Foundation, there is some dimension of fundraising problems on the horizon: “The Obama administration will have no role in deciding how donations are screened and what criteria they will set at the alliance,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters while traveling on Air Force One on their way to New York City. In other words, while closely associated with the sitting president, the Alliance’s board will determine whether it will accept donations from foreign governments, corporate lobbyists, and others. Moreover, the board will determine the extent of disclosure beyond what is required for 501(c)(3) nonprofits the Alliance will pursue.

Given the serial problems uncovered by observers about the Clinton Foundation and its relations with foreign governments and private corporations, the hands-off approach of the administration to these basic issues in a nonprofit associated with the most powerful political leader in the world is a decision that the administration might regret down the road.

In short, exactly how impactful this is in the grand scheme of things remains to be seen. More importantly, its at best a band-aid, and not necessarily a big one either. As well-intentioned as Obama may have been with this move, black people needed policy from him as president, not a non-profit initiative.

I hope my native brothers don't believe shyt those b*stards say

They can celebrate but this shyt ain't over. Hell just looks like Obama wants to end his term as the good guy.

 

[Malt-O-Meal]

You don't believe that?

Problem with black people is you give them Earth and they want Mars. That's why black people complaining all the time. I'm not talking about you. Just saying something I've noticed.

I don't see how people can say that's not how you turn the community around.

I guess you're including yourself in that ratio of dumb people because this was a stupid, ignorant, and untrue comment. What earth were black people given that we were not content with? And of course other idiots dapped and agreed

They real ones. Unlike BLM who are begging race soldiers to recognize our humanity.

I hate to veer off topic but what should BLM be doing in order to address the issue of police brutality.

I mean the natives in that area staged protest, which is essentially the same thing, though I could be wrong/misinformed.

I hope my native brothers don't believe shyt those b*stards say

I'm sure they see it as a starting place.

He will never have a problem with fundraising due to his popularity and the loyalty of black celebrities aligned with the program. Once he's out of office it's obvious he will be more involved in the decision making. There's nothing to discredit here and people have already benefited from the program.

What policy did you want? To stop the police from killing black folks? That's never going to happen. He doesn't have mind control over white people. What policy? Affirmative action is already in place but it won't stop white people from not hiring black people. Even though the unemployment rate for black people is currently 8.1%. It was 12.7% when he took office and continued to rise as the effects of the recession continued to hit.

That's not entirely true, I like Obama as a human being, he seems like a cool funny guy... But as a president he directly hasn't done much for black people as a whole. let's face facts I thought the major thing him being in office would do is him spearheading reparations through congress or someshyt. But that never happened. And everyone know I'm black here Obama has fallen short of all the things he promised and the ideal he represented... Sad to say. Fact matters is he didn't even TRY... That's what irks me the most...
