Why do the anti Obama folk have nothing to say about this issue and what exactly can Obama do about black men killing other black men.
What's with this Anti-Obama thing.. Who have you known in the public eye, that's said they are against Obama, the individual and not Obama, the politician??

You people are obsessed with this... Going crazy over a natural happening..

You have a Few INDIVIDUALS who feel that (a PUBLIC FIGURE whose task it is, to supposedly Govern the U.S.) Obama is not doing enough to raise Awareness of issues affecting primarily blacks, the poor and choose to speak out against that.. They have MADE THEIR STATEMENTS and these INDIVIDUALS have provided supporting points to back their statements...

Gasp.. Did you KNOW ALL PRESIDENTS HAVE GONE THRU THAT and ARE SUPPOSED TO GO thru criticism by the Pundits and public at large?

Why does ANYONE (BLACK) trying to raise Awareness to a cause or what they feel Obama should speak about make you so mad to want to keep disparaging these individuals??

Arent you satisfied with the fact that Obama enjoys the adulation of almost 90+ of the black populace and black media pundits?

That's not to your liking? You want it to be 100% or else??
It's like WTF already... I can see why people refer to ya'll as FanBoys..



And then you casually try to tie this social crime problem to people who speak out against Obama's policies or lack thereof..

Something can be done to solve the issue you brought up.. But you have to go down the rabbit hole to a time it wasnt like that and carefully analyze how this issue came to the point that it has...

My opinion on how to curb this
-Legislation to END WELFARE, CHILD SUPPORT, SECTION 8 as it exist
-Legislation to be able to SUE GUN MANUFACTURERS
-Legislation that ALL GUNS have an internal serial number that cant be tempered with
-Legislation to Privatize Public Schools and still have them be Free
-Legislation to Hold schools responsible for student failure
-Change in the School System and Curriculum
-Legislation to take Kids away from Parents after their kids act up multiple times and send them
-Legislation to Put all kids who are caught with guns or get into certain kinds of trouble into one special school
-Legislation to hold Parents responsible for their Kids up to a certain age..

I havent thought a lot of the above, but all I know is that it's feasible to turn this around..
Research Tim King and see what he has done..


What's the point of bringing up this social problem and you cant even go beyond listing the problems and trying to find solutions..

If you feel there's no solution, why be an opportunist and simply mention this issue as way to deflect away from what others feel Obama could be doing??

From Wikipedia

Tim King is an American educator and non-profIt leader, and the founder and CEO of Urban Prep Academies, a network of all-male charter public high schools in Chicago. King and Urban Prep received nation-wide attention in 2010 and again in 2011 after announcements that 100% of the school's first two graduating classes had been accepted into a four-year college or university.

King was born in Chicago and attended St. Ignatius College Prep, and completed his bachelors and law degrees at Georgetown University. While in law school, King became involved working as a teacher at a nearby Catholic high school, and eventually he determined to pursue teaching as a full-time career.[1] After completing his law degree, King was named President of Hales Franciscan High School in Chicago, an all-male, predominately African-American school on the city's South Side. [2] During King's five-year tenure as President of Hales, 100 percent of the school's graduates were admitted to college.

Two years after departing Hales, King founded a network of all-male public high schools, Urban Prep Academies, in order to address Chicago’s woefully low rate of college graduation for black males. Under King's leadership, Urban Prep Academies received charters from the Chicago Board of Education to open three high schools in neighborhoods throughout the city.

In 2011 and 2012, Urban Prep announced that 100% of the school’s second and third graduating classes had also been accepted to four-year colleges or universities

--------------------------------------------

The problems in the black community stem from more than the "I dont give a fuk about anything" attitude

There's also racism that affects black boys, black kids, bad teachers, legislation that rewards breeders, instead of parents/households being formed, poverty, bad schools, lack of jobs.. extreme high unemployment amongts black teenagers..

And of course in conjunction with what blacks as individuals can do or arent doing to change their plight in the U.S.

Why should politicians do anything?
Did you tell Obama this when he went to Sandy Hook? And took up the cause which he launched on that day?


...or...


Are we once again "moving the goalpost" for Blackfolks?

Since I don't believe Blacks are a hive mind then I have to disagree with your use of "We'. I also do not believe that all Blacks must rise or fall together. However, I do hate to see groups of people fall prey to the "Don't Give a Fuck!" attitude.

The reason why I do not use "We" is because I do not share the attitude of, sadly, most poor people, Black or otherwise, who look out of their windows and see nothing. If I was to use the word "We" to describe them then I would be taking away my individuality and my on strengths and weaknesses, the wars I've won and lost.

You should be careful. I notice you use "We" mainly while speaking about negative aspects that some Black people may have. Since there is no such thing as utopia and bad people will always do bad things you will find out, if you haven't already, that grading yourself and all Blacks based on the negative views of some will cause you to never ever see Blacks as anything other than negative. It's a recipe for disaster.
Negativity is like a contagious disease which infects one person after another, birthing contempt, prejudice, and ridicule which are all various modes of hatred. Infatuation and attachments are serious obstacles because they are subtle as well as powerful. When millions of people are killed during a war, a mortal man does not weep yet he or she weeps when his or her spouse dies! This is because infatuation creates the idea of "Mine". The greater the attachment the greater the pain. When a person speaks of "My Wife, My Son", or "My Home", he or she reveals an attitude of separation from the rest of humanity. So as long as there is identification with the ephemeral physical world little progress can be made on the path of becoming "God-Like".


The We represent a collect consciousness of those like minds. Of course we know and overstand that all blacks are not the same. As a matter of fact it will be your blood line which decide your immediate fate. Don't you know that the lost soul peering out windows and seeing no-thing are like children in our Ancient Ancestors eyes? They are without adequate right knowledge which needs the assistance of a healer. Are your a healer or a destroyer? Even in battle we fight not alone but is being guided by some creative force of will attached to other people just like yourself. There are no such things as bad people. There is only people who have been misguided into doing bad things.
