Over 700,000 jobs a month were being lost when Obama took office. It is ridiculous to say that he could have turned that around quickly when the whole world was going through a recession. Please tell me what exactly Cornel West has done for anyone black, I do not see it. Jimmy Carter was not senile and during his one term he tried hard on both the domestic and foreign policies to spread equality. Black students, black farmers, black business people, black soldiers, black homeowners have benefitted from Obamas policies Black farmers were awarded 1.2 billion dollars in compensation. President Obama signed an executive order increasing funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to $850 million over the next 10 years. Black women are now graduating in their highest numbers. Passed Health Care Reform (Affordable Care Act)-More than 19 percent of African Americans do not have health care, according to TheRoot. When the highly debated health care reform bill was signed into law in March of 2010, millions of African Americans benefited. Black business-Obama has said it himself that no President has passed more bills to help black business to get government contracts.CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT OF INCLUSION.In his first term, Obama continued to support programs such as the SBA’s 8(a), New Markets Initiatives, and HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) Zone that directly benefit black and minority firms. African-American businesses and minority-owned businesses gained access to more than $7 billion in contracts and financing." Created The Civil Rights Division Of The Justice Department The U.S. Justice Department is leading one of the most aggressive defenses of civil rights in recent memory. Whether it is clamping down on Arizona for its bias against immigrants or fighting unjust state voter ID laws, this Justice Department has been fully engaged in fighting for the rights of all minorities. Black women disproportionately serve in our armed forces, Obama has ended the war in Iraq and is bringing our troops back from Afghanistan. |

Black folks downfall is loyalty to stupidity, just because someone is Black does not mean they are good at that job and can never be a failure at their job! Like anyone else of any race whom black folks attack for being incompetent the president is not above reproach nor correction but sadly Black folks are so eggar to go down with the sinking ship. HE not anyone else is president HE wanted the job so HE gets ALL the blame for failure that HE took on! This blaming someone else is the excuse Black folks have worn out, Obama made terrible decisions he LIED to millions of black folks jumping up and down over him like Zulus over his Blackness and promise of a better future for them concerning JOBS FROM DAY ONE! IF he was lying he should of keep his lying mouth closed period! Blaming some white man want cut it anymore you wanted the job either do it or get out of the way period! |

The main problem is, Negroes still continue to FOLLOW the WHITE MAN'S "ONE DROP RULE"! Negroes still obey the ODR rule like it's still in existence. You whine daily about supposed "racism", but still attempt to make people that are NOT of the Pure Negroid race, Negro! There is no such thing as a "part Negro". Stop calling President Obama "Black" , because he's not! Bi-racial people have always been in the forefront, from Jean Baptiste Point du Sable who was a Mulatto, to Tiger Woods. Most pure and nearly pure Blacks CANNOT accept this fact, but one only has to look around even today! Face facts folks, pure Blacks in this country are fast disappearing at a fast rate, due to inter-racial marriages,and within the next 100 years, the Negro race,(as we know it), will be gone in this country for good! It's a sure bet that by then, the mulatto race will be recognized as a specific race, which will be good.

First and foremost he need to get on his crusty rusty lying knees and stay there until he hears from god personally. See my problem as a Christian is another man lying as he did saying he evolved into his thinking about gay marriage furthering the confusion of young black kids who see to faggots kissing openly and as that child granddad I got to explain to him its not natural but this lying president said it is! Secondly he either keeps his mouth close when he knows he is specifically speaking to black America and over promising them, yea I said them, because I exclude myself from this mans policies simply because they are collectively ungodly and yoked up! God never would tell any black man to (redistribute ) anyone wealth knowing poor people need the rich to crate the jobs they are not going to college or anywhere else to achieve because that’s the jobs we have taken the most, factories and plants. As far as black folks murdering one another that’s a Spiritual problem not secular one! As far as taking care of their kids then the welfare laws need to change that allows the father to be in the house with the mother! As far as Education lets be real not every black person is inspired to go to college when trade schools pay more right off the bat. As far as moral behavior goes he is not someone to look to for those things you suggest after all he lies alot! |

I quite agree that blacks shouldn't be using white definitions as it pertains to race ie the 1 drop rule nonsense. There is still that residue of slave mentality that is persistent. As for the demise of pure or nearly pure blacks, interesting. |

Cornell West needs to STFU. WASNT IT MLK BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY? WTF IS THE PROBLEM. MLK WOULD HAVE APPROVED OF OBAMA DOING THAT. HE WAS SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT (A BLACK MAN) ON HIS DAY OF CELEBRATION. THAT IS WHAT HE DIED FOR. I WISH SOME OF YOU BLACK FOLKS QUIT ACTING LIKE WHITE RACIST REPUBLICANS. I DON'T APPROVE 100% OF OBAMA BUT HE DESERVES THE SAME CHANCE 46 OTHER (WHITE) PRESIDENTS HAD. |

Rick, Rick, Rick my friend, MLK said "we as a people will get to the promised land." It wasn't about one half white guy becoming president who is; dropping bombs left and right; overseeing the largest transfer of wealth in this nation's history from poor to rich; overseeing black wealth drop to nothing; indifferent to sky high unemployment and poverty, etc. These were the very things MLK opposed publicly in his final years. To be critical of those of us like Cornell West, is to say you advocate for the very things MLK opposed all cause there's a half white guy in the White House. As I said in another post about MLK, this is the sad state of black culture! Edited by Snidely Whiplash, Jan 22 2013, 12:22 PM.

MLK is/was many things but what he has never been is the President of the United States of America. West and Smiley need to come to terms with the fact that; President Barack Hussein Obama is All That plus a bag of chips! |

Half of all black folks are "half white", including some of the pussy you get. Every black family got some half's in them. They are considered black. The world has changed since MLK died. |
