Not sure if you're trolling with the answer about W.

Your opinion about future generations is yours, but I'm trying to figure out what it's based on. Most Black people that I've known place a high priority on education. While in office, Obama helped to increase access to training,education, degrees, and loans and grants for students.

For those who value education, providing additional resources and access for it would have a lasting effect on their families.

I wanna answer your question but may I ask if you're black american just for context?

It makes sense.

It's a role of a lifetime which puts so much pressure on everyone close to the running-mate that on one side you're excited for it and shell shocked at the same time at the prospect of this becoming reality for your family.

I like Michelle but it does seem like she loves the spotlight but the the responsibility. Shes always taking shots at submissive women and stuff like that.

Haitian American.

Thanks for that breh.

Im not trolling about George W but thats neither here nor there.

One thing that stuck out that you said is access to education for those that value it.

Now we know education does not guarantee you economic success. The average white person withOUT an education makes more than the average black person WITH one. That being said that does nothing to attack systemic equality.

The policies he enacted, the average black person (african american, ados, whatever) does not benefit from. It doesn't change their position in society and it doesn't enable us to build and pass down generational wealth DIRECTLY.

You may disagree. You can tell me how a black person CAN benefit from Obama Era policies, but can you tell me a policy he enacted that every single black person will benefit from economically with without caveat or qualifier?

I had an argument in early 2008 with my girl at the time she was trying to convince me that Hillary was going to win the whole thing I said Hillary can't even keep Bill from fukking ugly bytches how she gonna run the country Obama is the one to look at. Of course she said ain't nobody voting for a black man for president but you know what she wasn't the only black person to say this openly.

When Obama won Iowa and then all the people I know who said he didn't have a chance before now turning up wearing Obama shirts just hit them with :stopitslime:

She absolutely embarrassing. I'm glad I never read her damn memoir. She needs to just be quiet and only talk about public health and shyt that's productive.

She didn't need to say this cause it makes her look fake as fukk and basically she is saying she wanted him to fail.

Barack was grass root, he also broke the ceiling for non-standard candidates that all look and think the same to be able to go far. Although we're now back to the usual business with Biden, we were close to getting Bernie. Next time it might be Beto O'Rourke, Stacey Abrams or whoever.

:mjlol:if you believe this bullshyt
The Obama's we're selected:francis:
Nope, Hillary Clinton was the DNC candidate followed by John Edwards and Joe Biden.
Clinton was killing the polls and getting the big money, while Obama became famous for having the most donations but only small ones. It became a movement, he started approaching Hillary in the polls and by the fall 2007 big names like Hollywood people, rappers, Oprah etc. joined the movement.

DNC were nowhere to be found until he left Edwards and Biden in the bushes and started challenging Clinton. People forget how long the DNC kept Hillary in the race when she had a much larger chance of destroying the democrats general election campaign than getting the primary nomination,

The first time I saw or heard of him was in a Jet magazine when I was young. Even as a child I thought to myself there’s no way this racist as America will vote for a black man named Barack Obama:russ: I’m so happy I was wrong :obama:
