BREAKING:Obama Denies Permit to Drill at DAPL!

[Birnin Zana]

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.

My overall stance on MBK is best summarized by this segment of the following article.

Obama’s Battle for Black Boys: My Brother’s Keeper, 2 Years Later

The biggest criticism of President Obama and his initiative is that it’s not a federal program that addresses the systemic issues across a range of policies that cause young men of color to face such daunting odds. As Columbia University professor Fredrick Harris wrote in a recent report for the Brookings Institution (pdf), “[E]xisting laws and practices that perpetuate the conditions that poor and working-class minority youth face will end up counteracting the good works that the My Brother’s Keeper initiative is trying to accomplish.”

As a result, there is only so much of an impact that this initiative can have. Not only are the root causes of the issue left unaddressed, but MBK has been in place for just two years, and that’s much too short a time frame to make a dent in a problem that was literally centuries in the making.

The president also appears to champion the respectability politics for which he occasionally takes heat. A significant part of the My Brother’s Keeper message to boys of color is to study hard, pull up their pants, and be twice as good because they cannot expect anyone to have any sympathy for them and their circumstances. On this score, he is not necessarily wrong, but the assessment is clearly incomplete. Again, without significant policy-reform proposals to accompany such guidance, this initiative seems to address only the margins of a much deeper problem.

What reform though? What policy? I read it, but he needs to be more specific.

Here comes our black leaders showing their asses to people who only wAnts to use them for their agenda but will be a ghost when it comes to our agend

 

[AlwaysLurkin]

Whenever I hear this people always say free blah blah from jail.I never hear no one say anything realistic

 

[Momentum]

Black people still waiting like when Will's Dad never came

IM STILL GOING TO MARRY ME A FLY HUNNY! TO HELL WITH HIM!

Why Obama don't want us mayne?

 

[Piff Perkins]

None of this is specifically for black people. try again

oh so we're back to this stupid shyt again. lmao

Reducing crack cocaine sentence disparity doesn't specifically target criminal justice biases that impact black people? Protecting the VRA and CRA doesn't specifically protect black people, considering both laws were passed specifically targeting black people? My Brothers Keeper is not directly about young black men? Obamacare wasn't targeted at lower income people, many of whom happen to be black?

I'm pretty sure no one reached out to him. He went out there on his own like a real leader.

I know he's suppose to be all for equality and all that shyt, but let's get real, when has Native leaders ever stuck their necks out for black people? They want us to be sensitive to their issues like the Redskin name but is quiet as a mouse when a unarmed black person is shot like a dog

Of course he's suppose to show up because that was his people in dire need....

Sohh Obama stans, he said that the Standing Rock protesters are "making their voices heard"



But yet called the Baltimore protesters thugs and criminals


"That is not a protest. It is not a statement. It's people, a handful of people, taking advantage of a situation for their own purposes — and they need to be treated as criminals,”


He made it seem like the Natives are protesting something noble (which they are) yet when referring to black people, they are just no good thugs and he stands by that statement.
