He's done nothing for straight Black folk.
Prove me wrong.
Look at the demographic of the country. Ditka probably feels like Trump is speaking to/for him. And based on polls, so do a lot of other people who are in the majority of the population. Very interesting to watch play out.
just a few things..
- President Obama’s administration oversaw the $1.2 billion settlement awarded to Black farmers who have been denied loans and assistance by the Agricultural Dept. for decades.
- In February of this year, President Obama signed an executive order increasing funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to $850 million over the next 10 years. The funding is being administered through the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities that was, ironically, started by the late Ronald Reagan
- Crack users are disproportionately sentenced to longer jail terms than those who use powder. This unfair sentencing practice punished African Americans more severely than their white counterparts. With the signing of the Fair Sentencing Act, though, President Obama narrowed that disparity significantly.
- More than 19 percent of African Americans do not have health care, according to TheRoot. When the highly debated health care reform bill was signed into law in March of 2010, millions of African Americans benefited.
- Created The Civil Rights Division Of The Justice Department - Hired the first black Attorney General (Twice: Holder and Lynch)
Black women that work under Obama's administration. ranging from Education Department, Finance, Community Finance, etc..
- The Obama administration handed out over $950M to Inner City communities under the "My Brother's Keeper" act that went to benefit education, community centers, tutors, and financial advisers for black youth at risk.
