Mr Trump said that African-American youth had reached "a point where they've just about never done more poorly, there's no spirit, there’s killings on an hourly basis virtually in places like Baltimore and Chicago and many other places.

"There’s no spirit. I thought that President Obama would be a great cheerleader for the country. And he’s really become very divisive."
:comeon: I'm confused. Is this what yall feel is racist or that a white person said it so it's racist, or the a Republican said it so it's racist, or that Trump said it so it's racist?

This is basically the samething anyone with the ability to see and hear should be saying. But I'm sure the coli will interpret this as him saying all black people are dirty thugs that need more beating by police.:rudy:

#habitualvictim blame a man talking about the killings instead of the people doing the killings.


"I hope and trust all will come out right in the end, but the immediate future looks dark and troubled. I cannot shut my eyes to the ugly facts before me." -Fredrick Douglass

Dude is openly racist and a moron. A lot of young brothers spirits are broken though, probably for different reasons. People blame Barack for everything though
how can you say someone is openly racist then agree with his statement in the very next sentence.?:patrice:

Also Obama hasn't done much to alter the affects of white supremacy in this country. Crazy how yall are upset with republicans but back a man that supposed to be making a true change and break the hold of white supremacy this country is under.

A ******-ized black person is a black person who is afraid and scared and intimidated when it comes to putting a spotlight on white supremacy and fighting against white supremacy. So when many of us said we have to fight against racism, what were we told? “No, he can’t deal with racism because he has other issues, political calculations. He’s the president of all America, not just black America.” We know he’s president of all America but white supremacy is American as cherry pie.

We’re talking about moral issues, spiritual issues, emotional issues. White supremacy has nothing to do with just skin pigmentation, it has to be what kind of person you want to be, what kind of nation we want to be. Democrats and Republicans play on both of those parties in terms of running away from the vicious legacy of white supremacy until it hits us hard. Thank God for Ferguson. Thank God for the young folk of all colors. Thank God for Staten Island and fighting there. Thank God in Baltimore, now the precious folk in Charlesto

A lot of brothers spirits are broken. I said for different reasons though. I know PLENTY of young black men who have no hope. A lot of black folk have been saying that for YEARS and before this dude said it. It seems shyt like this only catches attention when someone non black says it. Also, i don't place blame on the president. Tell me you dont know ONE young brother who has given up.

I agree with you 100% I just don't think it's a racist statement and people have been saying this since the 70s breh their have been million dollar studies, 100s of documentaries, even government reform. It's comes a point in time where we have to take responsibility on the issues we can change. Obama was suppose to change the systematic racism while we were going to change on the local level. I don't want to here this" he's only president not king" shyt either. Lincoln, LBJ, Grant changed the landscape of America for black folks. Obama did it for fags. He's the Gay president not the Black president. He was our chance to get that push over this white system.

it's hard to explain
but consider on a very simple level
He counters the single story
we have had 8 years of black and white children seeing a very black woman, her very black children and their very black grandma in the white house. Why do you think fox and its crazies have worked so hard to make its own noise around the narrative of these people, no matter how ridiculous they sound? they don't want that generation to hear and see this association in a positive or even neutral normative light.
The crazies are trying to so hard to reaffirm the status quo of white supremacy because Obama changes the game just by his mere existence.
My only regret is that he did not knock Michele up with a son while in the white house, the boost to the self image of black boys to see a mirror of themselves in the white house :banderas:

You can't measure these things (some will try and may even come close) but the common sense of it is affirmed by the media machine and a whole history of public relation.

I get you on the local level, but obama was single handily supposed to change systematic racism. :dahell:
The ability to discriminate and prey on other groups of people is in the DNA of this country.
Look at this bs loophole where white dudes can rape native american women with no remorse.

I guess native americans are #habitualvictims as well because they keep crying for help, after literally getting fukked over.....

meanwhile, white insurgents had quickly arisen in the South after the war, organizing first as secret vigilante groups, including theKu Klux Klan. Armed insurgency took different forms. Powerful paramilitary groups included the White League and the Red Shirts, both active during the 1870s in the Deep South. They operated as "the military arm of the Democratic Party", turning out Republican officeholders and disrupting elections.[65]More than 10 years after the end of the war, Democrats regained political power in every state of the former Confederacy and began to reassert white supremacy. They enforced this by a combination of violence, late 19th-century laws imposing segregation and a concerted effort to disfranchise African Americans. New labor and criminal laws also limited their freedom.[66]
This systematic racism



this is a president that honours his word to the people that helped elect him
In an effort to combat these efforts, Douglass supported the presidential campaign ofUlysses S. Grant in 1868. In 1870, Douglass started his last newspaper, the New National Era, attempting to hold his country to its commitment to equality.[25] President Grant sent a Congressionally sponsored commission, accompanied by Douglass, on a mission to the West Indies to investigate if the annexation of Santo Domingo would be good for the United States. Grant believed annexation would help relieve the violent situation in the South allowing African Americans their own state. Douglass and the commission favored annexation, however, Congress remained opposed to annexation. Douglass criticized Senator Charles Sumner, who opposed annexation, stating if Sumner continued to oppose annexation he would "regard him as the worst foe the colored race has on this continent." [67]

After the midterm elections, Grant signed theCivil Rights Act of 1871 (also known as the Klan Act), and the second and thirdEnforcement Acts. Grant used their provisions vigorously, suspending habeas corpus in South Carolina and sending troops there and into other states. Under his leadership over 5,000 arrests were made. Grant's vigor in disrupting the Klan made him unpopular among many whites, but earned Douglass's praise. An associate of Douglass wrote of Grant that African Americans "will ever cherish a grateful remembrance of his name, fame and great services."

Show you are sheltered and lack knowledge of self, breh.

Nah that's all you breh.

Black people's biggest problem is the lack of self respect, lack of confidence, drug abuse and flat out stupidity being the standard. We ain't doing anything because we don't believe in our selves, it's always God or White Man or Mommy but never Ourselves. White people are going to keep using their tactics because they play to fukkING WIN. We are just too under-equipped to deal with them right now.

For Now, we need to focus on getting skill and moral up so people can accomplish more, that means more resources which means better communities, which means better people, which means people won't switch sides, which means more skill and resources.

You can't do anything if your only focus is drugs, blaming the white man/system(don't ignore this however), or hyping up lifestyles that destroy communities. Half of our problems are in areas we have control over, which means we can fix it:obama:...... but nah right:stopitslime:
