no, she did not. these speeches are designed around soundbites. all the other shyt was just leading up to the soundbite. and the soundbite was that she criticized black youth for playing video games all day and looking up to rappers and athletes. with that soundbite she invalidated all she said before and turned the whole speech into an insult. and if she didn't know that this would be the soundbite, than she is extremely bad at her job and should fire all her advisors.

where is the scientific evidence for her claims? can she prove that black youth has lost its hunger for education? is it true that all they do is play videogames. do they really all want to become either a rapper or an athlete? are there numbers that support the claim that there are more young blacks that look up to jay-z or lil' wayne or whoever their favorite rapper is than there were young blacks looking up to whoever the popular entertainers were in the decades before? i never read a single study that supported these claims, so if there is none, why did she put this bullshyt into her speech?

If you don't believe her statemnets true you ain't black and from the inner city. These nikkas don't want to be shyt but rappers, drug dealers and athletes. And their parents condone and push for this fukkery.

I remember watching Season 3 of the Boondocks, thinking Aaron McGruder was out of line with his views of Obama.

Now, I look back and think like damn Aaron McGruder was 100% right on in his views of Obama. :ohhh:

This c00n has been a gigantic disappointment and I'm likely finished voting because of him.

Definitely not standing out in the cold for Hillary in 2016....:patrice:

:beli:

where is the scientific evidence for her claims?

Is she supposed to print a list of citations for everyone in the audience?

is it true that all they do is play videogames.

Provide the sentence where she says all black kids do is play videogames. :kobe:

She said

If you don’t like the video games they’re playing, take them away.

How is that equal to all black kids do is play videogames?

do they really all want to become either a rapper or an athlete?

Where does she say all?

Breh we see eye to eye.:salute:

I have always been fukk the Republicans, Conservatives, and Tea Party aka the Party of Jefferson Davis.

Now, I'm like fukk the Democrats, these soft liberals, and all the c00n nikkaz in the Congressional Black Caucus that have soldout all of the black people they represent.

I really don't see myself voting in the next election.

I hope this will finally show black people to not let any political party take our vote for granted.

This thread just illustrates that american blacks are habitual excuse makers

Michelle spoke 100% truth... but as usual blacks point the finger and say "but... but... white people this... white people that..."

Pathetic! It's no wonder why we continue to fall behind... Look at your local college class... the proportion of successful professionals on linkedin... Every other race (particularly Asians) are killing us.

Well said I been thinking this since I saw the thread a couple days ago... She calls a spade a spade..excuses don't correct a problem, the same bs happened to bill Cosby when he spoke about the black society.. Everyone lashed out on him and called him coin this and that and siding with whites. These are just powerful people that had enough guts to speak the truth on blacks. Many of the people who are mad dont see the full scope of the constructive criticism so cycle will never change blacks will still be killing doing senseless killing filling jails in the next 20, 30 and even 50 years because things are getting worse not better.

I was an applicant for the "Deferred Action" program and was approved last month after a long wait....

But just recently when my mother was talking on the phone about something Obama related, I muttered something about how Obama is too weak and I got a dirty look from her and she went back to talking :fire:

Even without her saying anything, I already know she probably has the mindset that he helped me out tremendously with that. Which is true and I appreciate that from him...

But I would guarantee that she expects me to be complacent and to be incapable of criticizing him forever because of it....

My point is that we as black people in general seem to be having that same mindset in every case...

For people who are not able to sympathize with my case of Deferred action.....the alternative would probably be for "ObamaCare". The people who do benefit from that....they would probably also get that same dirty look like I got as if to say that is enough and they are incapable forever of criticizing Obama for anything else...

Like you said I am tremendously disappointed in this man....

And unless he makes some drastic changes, I do not see anything changing.....



Never in my short life have I ever seen a person with so much potential, especially in terms of Executive Orders, throw it to waste.

You remember all that trolling he was doing months ago about "universal Pre-K" :troll:

I will never understand why does this guy not realize that if you have everything you want to do constantly being stalled, just to make as much executive orders as you can


its because of men like Obama who waste potential that this "All Presidents are puppets" mentality and belief continues to be believed

I am glad you mentioned Hillary because it annoys me how people are fiends who never learn their lesson and got this mindset that when____random person comes in it is going to be better. Look at all hyperbole that was being thrown around on here about Elizabeth Warren when she is even more conservative than Obama about things besides Wall Street.

I'm glad the comment sections from media outlets that covered this are going in.


Michelle Obama say "Don't strive to be athlete or entertainer"? What type of asinine comment? Entertainment and Sports placed so many Black Americans into Middle and Upper Class income brackets, almost more than any other field of business. I want to create 1,000,000 more FLOYD MAYWEATHER JRS and LEBRON JAMES

That's our STRONGHOLD

that is the whole point people see it as a way out of the hood and it should not be...for every athlete living in the top not neighborhoods you better believe there are wealthier people next door to them that have wealth for generations in so many different lines of work..investment bankers, ceo's, business owners, executives etc why arent the black people not paying attention to these people? Thats why there is a big class diparity, you are saying u want us to keep being a product of "entertainment " industry thats is a easy way out. yeah do your thing as an athlete but if it fails and you are not the 1/1000000 person to make it to the league at least you can have a backup on making the $$$..

It should not be a way out the hood? :mindblown:

Are you crazy? Newsflash, Sports and Entertainment are American as Apple Pie. There is a Black upper class population across this country, Are you not aware of that? Yes We should produce and nurture 1,000,000 players as talented as Randy Moss and 1,000,000 entertainers that have the talent that the late Bernie Mack had and entertainers like Will Smith possess.

That is a lane out of the inner city but at the same time, we have a developing middle class and upper structure in America that are OFTEN NEVER TALKED ABOUT because we don't own the MEDIA to PORTRAY OUR SUCCESS.

By having a million Spike Lee's that at least HELPS close the gap of major income inequality that exist in this country.

Often Athletes have degrees or some obtain them after they finish their career. It is A way out of the hood, There are hundreds of thousands of examples, check pro sports from just Football and Basketball alone.

No one is knocking education at all, Michael Jordan has BLACK WEALTH which stemmed from Basketball and he ventured into many other arenas. The point is that these are lanes, You should never down talk a LANE that has created hundreds of thousands of SUCCESS STORIES

No you just have a hard time comprehending. Entertainment and Sports are just two LANES that can be used to enter the middle and upper class structure. There are millions of lanes and Black Americans are involved in many of them all across the country.

But at the same time, I WILL NOT DOWN TALK A LANE that has created SUCCESS STORIES FROM BLACK AMERICANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY

F'OH

You let me know when Mitt Romney or former President Clinton say to White America
let's stop making Bill Gates too much technology crap let's stop making Mark Mcguire's too much baseball

You can't have a million more Floyds and LeBrons. That's the problem. There are only 450 roster spots in the NBA, but we need to create 1M more :gladbron: ?

Even in the entertainment and sports realm there are plenty of jobs that require some sort of education.

There are marketing and ad guys that think of the commercials, people that crunch numbers, the doctors and nutritionist to keep these guys in top shape....

Ignoring that and focusing only on actors/singers/athletes isn't the right route.

this is what people are outraged about :laugh:

Apparently she isn't allowed to comment on the black community because of her response to a fluff question in a People magazine article.
