1) 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.

2) Expanded Funding For HBCUs
President Obama signed an executive order increasing funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to $850 million over the next 10 years.

3) Signed The Fair Sentencing Act - the one that Trump takes credit for, when it was actually Obama that did this

4) Passed Health Care Reform (Affordable Care Act)

5) Created The Civil Rights Division Of The Justice Department
The U.S. Justice Department under Obama led one of the most aggressive defenses of civil rights in recent memory.



I mean, I can keep going if you want me to :jbhmm:

I agree with some of his criticisms, but West comes off as just being mad that Obama didn't pay enough attention to him during his presidency. :yeshrug:

Biden/Harris aren't great, but they (and most Dems) are still a significantly better option than Trump.

Is this the quote?

I agree with him, we can talk about how Biden is trash and not really support him, but still vote for him.

For some people it isn't enough that you're willing to vote for the man, you have to be on the team and defend him too. Dudes be on the coli like it's their mission to protect his honor. :camby:

They be in here like:

"Bidens kingdom come, Bidens will be done..
In Washington, as it is in heaven"

:blessed:

It's more about Congress. Pressuring Biden to do something that would automatically fail in Congress is a waste of time.

I agree with you, but it wasn't my suggestion "try and pressure Biden after I give him my vote" :mjlol:.
We sure as hell not getting M4A by pressuring Biden.

Above the fray.
Oh well criticize away. I don't care about criticism. I do care about folks lying and saying he didn't do anything tho.

For instance one of my gripes with Obama is that he should have done something that Trump does very well...

Which is, toot his own horn every single time he accomplishes something

Trump will even take credit for stuff that other ppl did.

Obama should have got out there and talked about his accomplishments more and then you wouldn't have ignorant coli nikkas that don't know the facts and aren't willing to learn, running around with the MAGA narrative that "Obama didn't do anything when he was president"
People who are engaged in politics and have issues that are important to them, will note and see when the needle moves on those issues .

For example, people who care about access to education can tell you how and when the needle moved under Obama. I can't picture a serious Black person who doesn't prioritize access to education/training.

So people repeating "never did anything for Black people" are exposing themselves and repeating shyt they heard from others. REAL TALK.

That talking point has been beaten to death by people you can't actually debate his points on Obama.

I had to stop once I couldn't debate him.

And, no, they are not.

They are better, but, you way you actually know their records and think it's that much of a upgrade.

It's that they are a 3/10 and Trump is -5 outta 10.

We have to stop that talking point with no proof.

No, they are better. Objectively.

Who would pick a better Supreme Court justice? Biden or Trump? Who would be more likely to do something about climate change? Would would do more about student loans? Who would handle coronavirus better?


The false equivalence has to stop. I have my issues with both Biden and Harris but they're NOT the same as Trump.
