Now that Obama has 4 more years. Black Community discussion....

[Outlaw]

What type of legislation can Obama push for that will help out the black community and put it on the right track,

A jobs program for inner city youth?
Prison Reform?
Ending the War on Drugs??

 

[MostReal]

I honestly dont know, but I would like for him to speak on some of these ills & bring them to light for the country to see

 

[Jello Biafra]

I still don't foresee him doing anything specifically for the Black community that addresses problems specific to this demographic.
We damn sure won't be seeing prison reform or an end to the war on drugs.

Ending the war on drugs would sadly lead to more kids selling drugs and maybe more of them dying as well.

I'll say this. He was the first President since 1948 to not mention the word Poor or Poverty in his last State of the Union address. He also spoke about race less than any Democrat since the 60s'.

In his acceptance speech, he covered both areas.

It's different now. He's no longer a slave to political handlers looking at the next campaign. All he has now to look forward to is shaping his legacy, and I think we'll see "community organizer" Obama going forward and tackling more of our unique issues.

He'll stop sending his wife to black functions on his behalf.

 

[FAH1223]

don't see him tackling any of that

I hope so

Cuz I love what dude represents but I will shyt on him in 4 years if he don't speak on race and poverty.

There's nothing he can do to help the black Community. There's nothing anyone can do.

I think it's better to just tranquilized the black community with "social services", basically just do the social welfare thing and increase spending. Looking at the statistics, and there historical trends, I just don't see anything changing for them. They've basically ran out of weapons to try and fix the Alarming socioeconomic status of Black America. There's 40% of all black Americans on welfare and they make up 12% of the population. I think whites are at 5% on welfare. Just going to have to keep them sedated unfortunately. Pay the cost to have lower crime, and less violence. That's all there is to it.

Instead of all these stupid-ass programs that aren't going to work. This teaching a man how to fish crap (school programs, entrepreneurial initiatives) . Just give them the money, or be prepared for consequences.

I'm a fiscal conservative, and I don't like it, but we are just going to have to pay for civility. If you don't want detriot, you're just going to have to pay the cost and give them money. That's it. No programs, no school programs, no war on drugs, no community outreach. Just increase social welfare spending. That's the only viable option.

You are trolling with this i hope, what could be and should be done is a limit on social services, i am sick of hearing people say i been at this project for for 20 years and so on, the best thing to do is this, 4 years of service if you single with a kid, if you can't improve your life in that time span well to hell with you, 6 for a family, if you and your wife can't improve also, you go to the bushes, people got to look in the mirror and go farther, this working in retail and security has to stop, old blacks have to embrace the digital age and education more. No more coddling, people need to spoken to in a truthful manner, stop having kids you can't support, avoid crime, being poor is no reason to commit dumb crimes and get records that will prevent you from improving yourself. Stop hating on others who made it, and the people who made it should help others who want out also, if you on that i love being in the hood stupidity, then there is no hope for you, you lost, there is no glamour in being broke, hungry and uneducated.

He won't do any of that. He already has the support of the black community. It's hispanics and whites that he has to work for.

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

The assumption that just because he's black he cares about the black community is false.

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

Ending the war on drugs would sadly lead to more kids selling drugs and maybe more of them dying as well.

ending the war on drugs would be like ending prohibition of alcohol.
most drugs would be legalized, regulated and taxed.

this would have the exact opposite effect of what you proposed.
who is gonna sling rocks on the corner when you could get pure coke at the local drug store?

Well I was speaking more so on stopping the harsh prosecution of drug dealers. If they legalize everything than their will be a lot more addicts but less people going to prison. Well not exactly because drug dependency leads to crimes committed in order to maintain the addiction. So more addiction in this country and easier access will not do much good sir.

 

[Sampson]

Historic moment. If you're black, and you voted for Romney or just didn't vote, shame on you.

When your kids ask you about this historic moment in history, tell them that you sat it out or voted for the other guy.

Tell them the truth no matter how much they'll be ashamed of you.
