What are you doing for your community? My Brother's Keeper and many other mentor programs are making a difference in many kids' lives.
Every time someone makes a post like this I list all the things Obama has done that benefit black people, but a few weeks later one of you makes the exact same posts again lol. Obama far from perfect but I'll give him dap for getting some big things done.

President Obama Discusses "My Brother's Keeper" Initiative
Coinciding with President Obama’s unveiling of his new “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative today, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America is announcing its plan to publish a white paper titled, “Mentoring Makes a Difference in the Lives of Young Minority Men: A Review of the Empirical Evidence.”
The paper examines a growing body of empirical evidence that concludes that volunteer mentoring serves as a valuable prevention and intervention strategy that has proven effective at “making a difference” in the lives of at-risk, high-risk and underserved youth.
In general, the extant body of research supports the claim that strong mentoring relationships reduce a variety of problem behaviors among vulnerable youth including young minority men. Specifically, mentoring serves as an effective mode of intervention for young people and favorable research findings are consistent across a range of populations, settings, modalities, and outcomes.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of America will publish its white paper in March. During his announcement later today, President Obama will share details about his “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative, which calls on foundations, businesses, and faith and other community leaders to join the White House in taking action to create opportunities for young men of color who work hard to reach their full potential.
The president will invite foundation leaders, corporate executives, and faith and other community leaders to participate in the program.
“Big Brothers Big Sisters of America applauds President Obama for recognizing and addressing the unique challenges faced by America’s young men of color,” Lowell Perry, chief diversity officer, senior vice president, Corporate & Community Engagement said. “A large number of the children we serve are minorities, so the president’s initiative will complement our work to help children facing adversity through mentoring.”

Like I said before your response to what I'm posting is alarming. I never claimed Obama's program was going to solve the decriminalization issue
It's going to work wonders for the young black men who get the opportunity to participate in it.

Cause he hasn't done shyt to help black people except for Obamacare which I do praise him for.
These mentor programs will do virtually nothing to address generational poverty, the war on drugs, and a racist legal system. I'm not saying they're completely meaningless but it won't have a huge impact

But my point is the impact will be minor. The black community is the way it is because of generational poverty.
What policy, dikkhead?I just talked about all the policy that he failed to address. I keep forgetting that you're a Clinton supporter

Here we go again. nikka i never rounded up people to get me voted in somewhere,speaking of change etc,only to make it better for homos. GTFOH.
OBAMA did not change the game for black people at all.
Bro, a program started by the first black president aimed at helping young black men better themselves is a major win. Even when you play the context I added.. None of the last three presidents have created anything aimed solely at black men
Your point isn't for me..
@Lord_Chief_Rocka is out here acting like Michelle Obama telling kids to eat healthy isn't enough, she should be handing out gift cards to whole foods
