Why do you ignore my posts about what Obama has done for Black students, Black farmers, Black business people, Black troops, black colleges, black homeowners and black people without healthcare.

1-Black business-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.


2-The Fair Pay Act
It is most commonly used in a context of sexual discrimination, as equal pay for women. Equal pay does not simply relate to basic salary but also to the full range of benefits, non salary payments, bonuses and allowances that are paid. Many Black women are the sole providers in the home and have benfitted from this act.

3-Auto industry bailout-the stimulus helped thousands of black men who work in blue collar jobs in Michigan, Ohio and Penn keep their jobs. M,any black businesses that supply the car industry were also kept afloat due to the stimulus package. Unemployment remains high in the black community especially for young black men, bu with cuts in education, grants, welfare that the GOP will bring things will not be better under them.

4-)Awarded $1.2 Billion To Black Farmers
President Obama’s administration oversaw the $1.2 billion settlement awarded to Black farmers who have been denied loans and assistance by the Agricultural Dept. for decades. This is the second round of settlements in a case filed in 1997, which alleged that thousands of black farmers had been discriminated against between 1983 and 1997. This round is directed at farmers who were not awarded payment because of missed filing deadlines. The judge said payments would likely be dispersed in a year or so, after neutral parties reviewed the individual claims.
This agreement will provide overdue relief and justice to African American farmers, and bring us closer to the ideals of freedom and equality that this country was founded on,” Obama said in a statement.

5-Expanded Funding For HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES and Universities.
President Obama signed an executive order increasing funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to $850 million over the next 10 years. The funding is being administered through the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This has ensured that thousands of black students graduate. Black women are graduating in record numbers and the percentage of black people with degrees has increased.

6- Signed Fair Sentencing Act
The criminal justice system has unfaily penalised young black men especially Crack users who are disproportionately sentenced to longer jail terms than those who use powder. This unfair sentencing practice punished African Americans more severely than their white counterparts. With the signing of the Fair Sentencing Act, though, President Obama narrowed that disparity significantly. Obama signed the Fair Sentencing Act, which narrows the huge disparity in punishment given to those convicted of possessing crack cocaine versus those found with the drug in powder form.
The gap has been of particular concern to the African-American community. Crack users tend to be poorer than those who use powder – and disproportionately African-American.Under the old law, someone convicted of possessing five grams of crack cocaine received a mandatory five years in prison. Those convicted of possessing powder cocaine had to be holding 100 times that amount to get the same mandatory sentence.

7-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.
As reported by the blog “Jack and Jill Politics,” Blacks will enjoy a number of benefits that the bill provides:
The Affordable Care Act expands insurance coverage by a number of mechanisms the some examples include establishing the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, which is working to make health insurance coverage available to individuals who have been uninsured for at least six months and have been denied health insurance because they have a pre-existing condition. By 2014, this program will end and will be replaced by new health insurance exchanges.
Also by 2014 Medicaid will be expanded to cover individuals under age 65 with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level. In 2014, using 2010 federal poverty guidelines, 4.1 million African Americans making less than $14,403.90 and a family of four making less than $29,326.50 will be eligible for Medicaid. In addition, individuals without dependent children or who are not pregnant will now be eligible for Medicaid once this provision is enforced beginning in 2014.
Coverage for preventative conditions many of which disproportion ally impact African Americans. As of September 23, 2010, requires health plans to cover certain preventive and immunization services without charging a deductible, co-pay or coinsurance. This applies only to care delivered by in network health professionals. Specifically, new health plans will have to offer consumers 45 free screenings and other preventive services, similar changes will affect Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries Seniors enrolled in Medicare will no longer have to pay for preventive services starting January 1, 2011.
Additionally, the health reform law provides new funding to state Medicaid programs that choose to cover preventive services for patients at little or no cost starting January 1, 2013. These include (note from Jill, I’ve bolded the ones that impact African-Americans especially):
• Blood pressure testing
• Cardiovascular screening
• Cervical cancer screening
• Cholesterol measurement
• Colorectal cancer screening
• Depression
• Diabetes screening
• HIV testing
• Immunizations and vaccines
• Mammograms
• Obesity screening and counseling
• Screening newborns for sickle cell disease
Already in 2010, adults enrolled in Medicare Part D received a tax-free, one-time rebate check of $250 when they reached the Medicare drug coverage gap or “donut hole.” The donut hole refers to the gap in coverage enrollees face between the initial coverage limit and the yearly, out-of-pocket limit known as the catastrophic coverage threshold during which beneficiaries have to pay for the entire cost of their prescription drugs.
Beginning in 2011, enrollees with high prescription drug costs that put them in the donut hole will get a 50% discount on covered brand-name drugs and reductions in the cost of generic drugs while they are in the hole. Between 2010 and 2020, Part D enrollees will get increasing, continuous Medicare coverage for their prescription drugs; by 2020, they will pay only 25% out of pocket for the total cost of their drugs and the donut hole will be eliminated.

5) 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 Latinos or fighting unjust state voter ID laws, this Justice Department has been fully engaged in fighting for the rights of all minorities. When President Obama chose Eric Holder to lead the department, he picked a true champion of civil rights. For a rundown of how powerful the Civil Rights Division has become, check out this article by TheRoot.

8-The foreclosure crisis
The Justice Department announced a $21 million agreement to settle a lawsuit brought by DOJ. Between 2005 and 2009, the suit alleged, the mortgage lender “engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination that increased loan prices for many of the qualified African-American and Hispanic borrowers who obtained loans.” According to DOJ, SunTrust’s discriminatory policy affected more than 20,000 black and Latino borrowers who were hit with higher fees and interest rates than non-Hispanic white borrowers, “not based on borrowers risk, but because of their race or national origin.”
DOJ announced a record $335 million settlement with Countrywide Financial Corp. The department alleged that “Countrywide discriminated by charging more than 200,000 African-American and Hispanic borrowers higher fees and interest rates than non-Hispanic white borrowers in both its retail and wholesale lending.” In addition, “Countrywide discriminated by steering thousands of African-American and Hispanic borrowers into subprime mortgages when non-Hispanic white borrowers with similar credit profiles received prime loans. All the borrowers who were discriminated against were qualified for Countrywide mortgage loans according to Countrywide’s own underwriting criteria.”

9-That said, a few job creation and training programs have been aimed directly at communities of color. The Recovery Act, for instance, provided $150 million for Pathways out of Poverty grants, which offered green job training to low-income youth and adults in underserved communities (read: minorities).

10-The president has also enacted the Stakeholder Outreach Initiative, which consists of teams established to assist small businesses with obtaining federal grants. According to a policy explanation sent from the White House, the teams "will focus on women, minorities, veterans and businesses based in underserved communities."

The only thing Obama needs to do is take care of Michelle before I run up in there and take care of her for him.
Shut that shit up, you can't handle Michelle.
I'd handle you and her at the same damn time. Say something else.
I don't think so boo, you have a bad heart.. :D
My heart and back are just fine. I'd throw my back out and suffer a minor heart attack just to watch to have you and Michelle explain the next morning about why you're having a hard time walking straight.

What did Obama do for Jews and Hispanics? Where was I?

Black folks don't need no damn handouts. If we stop committing crimes, stay in school and take education serious, get rid of the ghetto/hip hop mentality, present yourself like people with some sense, pull your damn pants up, raise your damn kids, get off the fucking drugs and quit killing each other, things will get better. Obama can't do none of that shit for black people. I don't need Obama because before i even heard of him, I was already doing the right things.
Rick1 you said it all. This is the formula. There is nothing else needed.
Although that's true.

It's not that simple because if it was, then there would be no such adverse conditions to begin with.

So the conditions are not gonna change until the causes are first found, and then the people as individuals are willing to change their behavior.

So something more is needed Whosethat.

Growth is needed.
