What was Obama supposed to do for black people?

[Hov]

As we close out the presidency, one big thing I see on message boards, social media and celebrities like Diddy is that Obama didn't do anything for black people even though we got him elected.

He did stuff for cultures across the world, really changed the game for LGTB communities with the equality stuff, but ignored blacks.

Please, can someone, seriously without trolling make me smarter on this? What is it that we want or need or are asking for?

I know that gays couldn't marry. What rights or needs do we not have, outside of systematic racism and prejudice, which you can't wipe away with law...or can you?

Someone help with this...even if I don't agree I've never heard what we are looking for...

Nothing. The only reason jews, gays, white women get special laws passed for them and reparations is because they already have power and money; so they can buy over politicans and judges. Blacks have 0 power and an extremely small amount of money so of course Obama and other politicans wouldnt give af about our problems.

He should have searched for similar threads... If he did, he would have found hundreds of threads on this same topic.... Merry Christmas puto

-Raise the black power fist at the end of every speech.
-Replace secret service with random dudes from the hood.

-Threaten to send the goons out on random politicians and international leaders that disrespected him.

Not a damn thing


This is obvious in hindsight, but we didn't create any platform with a financial investment that held him accountable for any of our issues

It was solely an emotional relationship centered around symbolism

A bunch of fukking false equivalencies

Dont forget we have fakkits like Charlamagne who are extremely vocal to undermine the cause, he really says white privilege is not a thing

hundreds of studies have been done at Ivy league institutions that PROVE that shyt yet this loudmouth feels he can dismiss all that because hes afraid of confrontation and conflict

look at the Jews, look at @Sccit how he capes for Israel even when they are flat out steamrolling Palestinians homes and completely wrong morally and legally, he still maintans his stance and 99% of me at his stance but 1% of me him for being loyal to his cause

this picture sums it all up (dude on the floor is KKK)

Black Americans have really been beaten mentally into submission.

Only group on this planet to not receive reperations.
Underrepresented in over 80% of careers.
Overrepresented in the prison industrial complex.
The median black household wealth is not even $5,000. For whites it's over $100k.

And you really want nothing even though collectively we are behind every group in this country in terms of wealth?

Damn that's sad. If you want nothing expect....nothing but don't complain if you get....nothing. cause it seems like we're expected to get nothing and just deal with the consequences on our own.

It's like yall addicted to getting fukked over for getting fukked over for so long.

I'm so sick of this fukking country man...shyt be giving me migraines.

I hate to say it but people like
@Slang Dussain Ali
@DrX @Poitier And @Matt504 were right.

You dont want equality....you want acceptance.
You dont want to build your own institutions...you want to get involved and invited into others where you're obviously not wanted.
You dont want to fight white supremacy...you just want a better seat at the table.
You dont want to fight racism...you just want to feel good.
You want others to do the work and then reap the benefits when it's all said and done.
And yall want to play both sides of the fence when it's literally impossible.

if you have to ask then maybe you should reevaluate. What I will say is that I personally can never turn my back on us. Even though we're dysfunctional and underrepresented in every way, it a game of us vs them. Whoever don't want to align can curve.

nikkas just wanted a black savior instead of a white savior.... really tho.... they just want a savior...doesn't matter who it is... they don't wanna start no businesses to stack paper.... they don't wanna put no money up...they don't wanna invest in the community... they don't wanna support bubbling black businesses... they just wanted a smooth talking black man to wave his magic wand and save the day while they sit on their ass....

Nothing hes a mixed race man who was raised by white grandparents . I remember having a conversation with my fam, they all hyping him up as the new black messiah but I'm like, " hes not even black" .

He was never one of us.
