Stats please

Idk if he's talking from an income perspective or overall wealth but either way ...
Black Spending Power to Hit $1T by 2015, But Black Wealth is Dropping | Politic365

 

[MajorVitaman]

In MN the income for black people dropped 14% from 2013 to 2014

I don't know if this has anything to do with Obama tho b/c we gotta understand that Obama winning in '08 ushered in a wave of right wing and tea-party politicians at the local and state levels and ultimately that has a bigger effect on our day to day lives than the federall government.

TRUTH!

This is VERY important to understand. Nation wide us black folks might rally behind one politician during the presidential elections but we ignore all the local elections and wonder why we have police brutality, gentrification & bullshyt "pants sagging" laws getting passed left & right.

As long as we keep spending our money on nikka trinkets & playing madden on election days we'll be forever getting okie doked and making hash tags about how evil white folks are. Of course they're evil its in their DNA... But are we gonna actually do something to stop it?...

Great points. But the key is to buy these politicians.... We must pull our money together.

Trust you go further buying these kats then voting for them. And you must and I mean must hold them accountable once they reach office. If they ain't doing what they said they will put heat on they ass. No we gonna wait and see what they do they last year is office or when they get a second term.

Bruh, I'm good. Speak for yourself.

Actually, I made good money under both presidents Obama as well as Bush, however, I'm speaking in terms of the majority of black people.

Yes very good points. We all know these politicians are scumbags.

Imagine how much progress we'd have if we converted the money black folks trick off at the club & on J's towards politicians

Yup, Dr.Claude Anderson said it best.

Here's a better article from a black publisher since you guys feel the one posted in the OP is inaccurate
Is Black America Better Off Under Obama?

The Black/White Wealth Gap. The wealth gap between Blacks and Whites in America is at a 24-year high. A December study by PEW Research Center revealed the average White household is worth $141,900, and the average Black household is worth $11,000. From 2010 to 2013, the median income for Black households plunged 9 percent.

Word though , we've been taking alot of shyt at face value and have been under the impression that shyt is improving , but when you dissect our overall situation it's gradually getting worse
