I see OP's points however President is a figurehead it's Congress,local politicians who should get some blame.I knew we were in for some stuff when Obama let that congressman call him a liar and he didn't check him.




Could've fought against the war on drugsStill waiting for some examples of what POTUS can do for black people that are:
1. Legal
and
2. Something he could actually get through Congress.
what difference does a national holiday make to people who think voting is for suckers. a lot of these tlr idiots and young people in our community have that mindset.No one votes in midterms. Obama decided to disband Obama for America for no reason and Dems failed to make voting day a national holiday. Dems are to blame too. Most people give up on the process if they are not engaged.
Black community lost half of its wealth after the recession and still hasn't gotten it backEvery member of my family is doing better during Obama's years than Bush's years. STFU Crybaby Fakkit
So much this. Voter turnout is pathetic in the midterm elections. If we did something to get Republicans out of Congress in 2010, 2012, and 2014, perhaps President Obama wouldn't have to play games. That bipartisanship BS that both parties tried to sell us just fukked Obama over.Breh the president can't do anything he wants. Maybe if black people and millennials in general cared about voting outside of the presidential election something could happen. Obama tries to do shyt for felons, black youth and a police reform but there is only so much he can do. That's assuming they wouldn't JFK his ass for trying.
I agree, he could have done more, especially fought harder for the legalization of marijuana. BUT, I'm sure you know how many inmates in federal prison have been released by him that were serving extremely long sentences or LIFE for drug crimes and he has commuted their sentences. We don't need to discuss what race likely made up the majority of these prisoners he gave freedom to do we? He's commuted more than the past SIX Presidents combined. And we still gonna talk about what he hasn't done for blacks? I bet the people who were looking at spending the rest of their lives in a box but are now home with their families feel different.Could've fought against the war on drugs
he didCould've fought against the war on drugs
TS.... you do know....... there are black trannies and fakkits too right?

How do people who make up less than 1% of the population have so much power?
Yep.. ..This should show they don't respect our votes. I was watching CNN and they had a chart where they focused more on how many Latinos gonna vote for Trump, How many white women gonna support Hillary, How white men could swing the election, Nothing about the black vote. We literally have no pull and sadly we allow it because they come through and do the dab or make a good feel good speech.
What do Blacks gain from sitting out of the election?These Black People Are Making a Political Statement by Not Voting in the 2016 Election
We have options....
I really hope more blacks sit out this upcoming election.
