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

[Everythingg]

I wish Obama had more interviews like this that were explicitly challenging and forced him to speak to us. This was a step in the right direction and it reveals that Obama is just as aware of being black as people realize.

It’s so hard for me to criticize him knowing that he has a responsibility to keep a tone that’s respectful insightful and alludes to what we all know to secretly be true.

You mean besides him saying that black men, who voted democrat more so than ANY demographic besides black women, voted from trump because of bling and hip hop? Of course this being after he used hip hop to elevate his own status during his presidential years...

Obama has no respect for black men.

Obama didn't do anything that had MEANINGFUL impact on the black community at large. IIRC the black community was hit the hardest during the 2008 economic crisis and benefitted the least on the rebound as the wealthy snatched up assets at a discounted price. [1]
Why he couldn't do anything is another , valid, discussion but I think people are wary of digging too deep into that cause then it would undermine the importance of the black community voting as a bloc. The whole system needs to be torn down and built up equitably from the ground

1. The Recession Was Much Worse for Black Americans

This is where Tariq bothers me.



Obama wouldn’t be President if he listened to Tariq.

Tariq is my dude but when Obama got in office in 2008 he was lusting for hulk Hogan’s daughter and chasing white women in South America.

he knows the majority of his fans can’t think for themselves so he panders to keep them angry afraid.

thank god he didn't listen to Tariq, America was racism free from 2009-2016

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Obama really wanted to say "You nikkas didn't donate enough money to my campaign."


Trump exposed the true power of what a president can really do for his chosen people and unless he gets convicted for any of his shyt out of office then what was the point of Obeezy playing it so straight?

wait what?

What did Trump do for his chosen ppl?

All he did was offer MAGA folks hard dikk and bubblegum and encouraged them to take out the frustration for their worthless lives on black folks.

Besides that, what did he do for MAGA cacs?

Well if you know this about him, then why is he your dude?

 

[skylove4]

That Jackie Robinson analogy was good too. One of the things Obama did was exhibit competent, steady leadership on the biggest stage in the world. It will be another black president cuz he was who he was.

Exactly if we had a bruh like let’s say kwame kilpatrick had been the one to get in and do some shady shyt, it would be a while before we got back in the Oval Office.

 

[Peter Parker]

What kind of a$$hole do you have to be to interrupt and talk over Obama smh

Seemed like Yee was the only one with some sense

 

[OnFleekTing]

Obama getting grilled now because Trump did so much damage in just 4 years and its apparent only because Obama did so little with his 8 years in office

 

[larsattack]

Well if you know this about him, then why is he your dude?

Because that’s not a deal breaker for me if he’s debating and spreading news about white supremacist. I also like hidden colors. His trump grift is far more egregious to me than him wondering where the white women at

 

[TallMan_J]

"There is no way in 8 years, to make up for 200 years" ...

Walked away having more respect for him

I haven't watched it yet.


I honestly respect that response. It's more like 400+ years, but I get the point. I don't fukk with Obama, but that's an excellent response. He's still full of shyt, but I get it.

That wasn't the part I was talking about. I'm talking about the fact that he falsely panders to his audience to keep them angry and afraid.

 

[King_Sage]

Obama said it best.. Vote.

Check the score board 200+ Years of anti-black vs 8 years of problack policy...

if yal want systemic change, focus on the 192+ year deficit and get more pro-blacks in the Whitehouse and Congress/House

stop blaming one blk person for not fixing centuries of hate against our folks

 

[ShaneTheRogue]

Smh this thread title is such BS... You should've had it as

"Obama explains what he did for black people on Breakfast Club"

The Coli still trying to stick to this narrative that he didn't do anything.


Cliff notes for people:

- Said he was confident he did a lot for black people cuz he has the statistics to prove it (peep my sig). Prison records dropped, juvenile records dropped, changed sentencing to more reasonable accounts, crime rates dropped, black poverty dropped to it's lowest level. Black businesses and black income rose to it's highest. Black unemployment reached it's lowest. And these numbers rose higher than with any other race.

-Republicans and State Governors blocked him from doing all that he wanted to do with Obamacare. Some governors wouldn't accept funding/medicaid dollars even though it wouldn't cost them a dime cuz they simply just wanted to oppose him.

- He doesn't break the laws like Trump does in order to get things done and knows the constitution and the consequences of said actions.

- Didn't go around advertising everything he did like Trump does cuz he didn't want to make others feel like they weren't getting anything.

- Says there's no way to change in 8 years what's been broken for 200 years.

- Says the presidency is like a relay race and unless the following President's stick to the same policies that are working, it's always gonna be a back and forth in regards to progress.

People who say he did nothing for Black people aren't worthy of respect.

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.

How long you been waiting?

All of will likely be dead before justice is served

I AGREE that we were wronged

But I also have eyes

So that's on YOU to wait

I'm gone eat whether or not they get a conscience
