Obama on the breakfast club ct tha god ask him why he didnt do more for black folk

[The Minister Of Culture]

You really think these cacs won’t go crazy if they see their “tax dollers” given directly to black folk? You don’t think Obama and his family have had death threats while in office just because he’s black? During those two terms he wasn’t able to do anything drastic enough to make them go totally crazy and attempt to take his life. The threat was probably always there.

I know they will but at this point fukk em

& if they have a problem with it & try to attack us im sure black people are ready to defend what is theirs. We shouldnt live life tryna stay on their good side and not upset them for paying a debt thats been owed to black people for YEARS.

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

A lot of it is uneducated people with desires for what they wanted him to do; but they don't understand our political setup. They think the President is a king who gives an order and its carried out. They don't understand what it would take from cacs in the senate and congress (and Supreme Court when its challenged) to get Reparations approved and issued.

The problems are deep as fukk. Its a shame more people don't know any better.

Some of the blame is on the peoples part as well when he was running i dont remember us pressin him on issues like we did Biden. Most of us heard "My President" by Young jeezy & saw the brothers selling obama gear & t shirts and was sold on him. Like you said we didnt set a standard that we wanted him to achieve until like midway. through his 2nd term when the cops were killing black ppl left and right but it was too late by that time.

 

[Doobie Doo]

Tell me exactly the policies he put in place for only white people ? I will wait

I stated it in an earlier reply.

They know what you said is the reality but to them reality doesn't matter it's all about capitalizing on anything that can be used to back up their talking points against Obama.

Y'all certainly focus on somebody doing something for you

Its nice when that happens

But if you're living from hook up to hook up then I bet you are in need of help

Doing for self should be the main focus. As an individual, as a household, and as a community

Black people will rise when we find it within to do so. All the help in the world can't help that. But once you are capable of helping yourself than you don't need anyone to give you anything

They are in there to do something for us. What part of that are you missing? Wanting political favors has nothing to do with being lazy and unmotivated.

Barack did his best. It's a lot more to politics than y'all think. It's not a dictatorship.

 

[director_of_bands]

That nikka Obama is too smooth...those Democrat talking points rolled off his lips so smoothly he almost had me fooled.

Obama: African American boats lifted X% during my administration.




Charlamagne: But what did you do for Black people specifically since we were targeted specifically. We're not interested in the rising tides lift all boats theory because our boat has a hole in it.




Obama: People ask that and I get it, African American boats lifted X%, we didn't brag about it but we lifted y'all boats up specifically. We just had to lift everyone's else boats up too to make sure they were invested.

lol

I am sick and tired of this question being asked and always a round and round about what was done and not done, if it was enough, it was enough for some people but others want more, etc. The problem is the goalpost always moves on this convo. There is no benchmark that would satisfy everyone, so there will always be a gripe. One issue is we dont have a consensus of what we want done in general, so we cant focus on those issues to be taken care of and addressed.

To the question at hand, I still dont understand how people ask what HE himself did for black folk as if he makes all the laws by himself. The president is a figurehead (just like in most cities with all this violence going down, the police chief is Black, thats done on purpose to have people say we cant get anything done. Those police chiefs have no power and are put there as the scapegoat) and they still have to go through the House and Senate to have laws passed. Guess who are the people in the House/Senate? Mostly old/white men who arent gonna pass anything for Black people for us to prosper.

So the question is: if any bills that Obama put up for a vote got rejected in the Senate, what is/was he suppose to do? What were you looking for him to do then?

Whatever they usually do in Washington DC in those situations.

He did a lot for gays and immigrants

I didn't think he'd have an answer for this question either. so I too heard some juelzing.

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

For his people that voted for him, he was a placebo, but he actually helped the people in his inner circle. He rolled back regulations to help his rich friends out and put unqualified people like Betsy Devoe and Ben Carson in positions of authority. Sure he losses his job but without any convictions all he has to deal with is negative public feedback.

obama did this too. every president does it. the difference is obamas inner circle were political people to begin with because he was actually a politician. like axelrod, holder, jarrett. trump just had a bunch of unqualified rich friends

Tbh the issues we are asking for help & rectification with arent things we did to ourself it was done to us since we landed here & for many years since then those issues have compounded. So you can with that bootstrapism shyt that dont really apply in our case.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Obama did a lot for black people and deserves credit. That being said I think perhaps the biggest failure was the stimulus. As a bill it was a success: it’s undeniable that it helped end the recession. But there was an opportunity to use it to help black people directly.

One of the very first reparation on dots ever proposed was to basically use infrastructure spending to rebuild African American communities and funnel money directly to them. A 2009 stimulus would have been a perfect excuse to do it without anyone noticing, which would be key. They didn’t even funnel money into Chicago like you would have expected, given where Obama is from. They were so obsessed with doing it perfect and having no fraud that they missed the opportunity.

It's called having a republican Senate with a Republican President you dumb fukk.

Again, its about nikkas being uneducated and not understanding the shyt so you throw out a quote from a song on the radio to mask your inadequate intellect. If we had supermajorities in the Senate and House Trump wouldnt be nearly as dangerous as he was as we would have been able to stonewall him and limit him to executive orders which have limited reach.

So the answer is that its neither "ochie wally" nor "one mic" nikka, its called the fukking Legislative Branch. Learn its functions then join the rest of us at the grown up table.
