Obama does not have a time machine. He cannot go back to 1985 and tell the sitting Republican president what to do about apartheid South Africa. As usual, "strong conscious" black people have absurd unrealistic expectations of the first black president. Did you think he was going to write you all reparations checks? Standup comic Patrice O'neal mocked this attitude when he jokingly said "Shit I thought Barack was gonna issue me white slaves n shit..." As for Libya, what does West prefer the US to do? Leave the dictator Gaddafi in power and continue to do business with him, as Bush did? I'm glad Obama is bombing Gaddafi's drug-addled, syphilis-carrying ass. |

Cookie Monster he was saying that the U.S. Government was not concerned about the suffering of black people in South Africa, and now the U.S. Government is acting like they are concerned about the people in Libya, that's what I took away from what he was saying. |

I find it interesting that many civil rights leaders are extremely pro- Teacher Unions, but so many studies (as well as recent documentaries) say that they are the number #1 outside variable contributing to the decline in lower income and inner city schools. Obviously job security is important, but at what price to our children?

No Cornel West just like Al Sharpton, Ben Jealous, Jesse Jackson, Cong Black Caucus sold their souls just to put an unknown man in office because of his skin color (Isnt that what racist europeans do, vote based on skin color?). Now the chickens have come home to roost. Unemployment for the nation goes down and black unemploymment goes up (which is twice what european unemployment is). Promises are made directly to gays and lesbians and indians. Obama has secret meetings with blacks which have not shown anything. Obama ignores black farmers for many months but black pressure forced him to act. Obama cuts funding to black colleges (bush gave more under his administration). Very few of so called black leadership is truly for blacks. They are all out for themselves. How could you get a people who are overwhelmingly against sodomy and pro life to vote for the most sodomite friendly and abortion loving president this country has ever seen. The problem is that many blacks view Obama as the Messiah and will follow straight into the pit of Hell just because he has brown skin. peace. |

Even now though, he is still carrying about a 78% approval rating among AAs, according to CNN today. Plus he has announced his candidacy for the next election. So, we shall see.... |

Obama could say publicly he hates black people and we blacks would still vote for him at 98 percent. How? Because we would say Awww man he does not really mean it. Hes just saying that for the white people. like i said straight into the pit of hell peace. |

Keith black leaders support anybody that's a Democrat, they supported Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and many of them were supporting Hillary Clinton as well. It's time for brand new black leadership somebody that's not going to be loyal to any political party. |

You are right, when Obama denounced his black pastor and left his black church I thought that was going to be a wake up call for black people, but black people gave him as pass on that just because they wanted to see a black president. It's not good that you want something so bad that you will do anything to get it. |
