Obama knows the truth. The only way to stop gang violence is to end the drug war, I mean 21st century slavery.

Violence isn't a black thing, no one is saying that. But violence impacts blacks more than any race in the US, that's a fact.

I'm not saying the crack laws have changed things, but they certainly made that issue less of a discriminatory problem.

Exactly and jobs.

The main problem is poverty. When most black people start have a living wage jobs, you will see decline of violence and the so call broken family.

When the all factories started to close down in the inner city and out source in 60's & 70's. Is when we started to see the rise of the broken black family and violence. Because it left a lot of black families poor and this is when they start pumping drugs and police in the black community.


The broken family and violence is a result of poverty. You can even see this in poor white areas also.

Also, laws that targets blacks more than other races are a problem too.

some of yall need to listen the speech before you go making diatribes and wild comments, obama connected violence to poverty and he suggested a bunch of ideas to help the economy in those neighborhoods

the only valid criticism of the speech is that it was too centered

lol so many on this board speaking nonsense talking about obama is doing empty rhetoric and shyt, he is one man. He can't fix the black community with a magic wand nor does he have the power to do so.

You people complain that he never was going to visit the crime riddled streets of chicago because he doesn't care but when does you say he is just talking just to talk. Just pitiful..

This is probably the biggest issue with the black community today, the black community is reliant on one black man who is president to fix all it's ills when they should be taking the matter into their own hands and it's not empty rhetoric because it's fukking true. No one man can fix that type of violence unless you want marshall law or some shyt.
Obama can't solve all the problems and nobody is expecting him to. But he's not making any inroads on shyt he does have influence over (prison industrial complex for example), and he has distanced himself from the black community.

You are screaming he's only one man, but he's one man who is pushing immigration reform to help Latinos, and at least hinting at federalizing gay marriage. He passed Obamacare and some other huge reforms. So why can't he do anything for us? He can, but he won't, because it's not politically convenient or necessary. Its true that we have weakened ourselves in the political arena, but like someone in here said he is America's president- not just Latinos' president, or the unemployed's president, or the gay's president, so to only take direct action for politically convenient special interest groups and ignore everyone else isn't right.

He made no mention of how the legal system is skewed against us even when you remove factors unique to our community/culture

With or Without Sentencing Guidelines, Black Men Get Screwed

And again he + his party are going out of their way to help Latinos specifically, but in this speech he just threw out a bunch of vague suggestions + ideas that would help the country at large, and not necessarily address the unique problems of the black community. Latinos have unique problems they get unique govt help to solve them. Gays have unique problems they get unique govt help to solve them. Blacks have unique problems, we get vague allusions to basically fix our shyt ourselves... even though many of the issues we face interfacing with the govt are the same category of issues the other groups face- institutional discrimination & violations of civil rights :yeshrug:

What did they disagree on? I thought Rev Wright was the homie.

And as much as Obama has changed his mind on what I thought were his fundamental policies/beliefs over the last 5 years, I don't think anyone besides Fox News would cry about Obama suddenly taking an interest in the black community. They complain when dude "talks slang".

Barack Obama Repudiates Rev. Jeremiah Wright - YouTube
He could agree with and implement Rev Wright's suggestions w/o explicitly citing Rev Wright as his motivator

If Farakkhan said the govt needs to invest more into education, should Obama not push to do so out of fear with being "controlled by" Farakkhan? I'll go further and say Obama is in his second term... what does he have to fear period?

He should but he's worried about what "they" say so much that he falls back. Remember when that racist cop made him lean back when they arrested ol buddy for breaking into his own house? Barry had to invite him to the white house for a beer. I bet Rev Wright aint had a beer at the white house.

Man fukk Obama. :shaq2:

Can't believe I voted for this nikka twice and the rest of the Black Democrats that have sold out their own people.

All these nikkaz are bank roll puppets. Career politicians that are only worried about getting re-elected instead of voting to benefit their own people.
What are we to do when every single candidate is bought and paid for... is it even POSSIBLE to get into that position without? Is it possible to make any decisions in office that go against those forces?

Well first of all there is no reason for the Democratic Party to address black issues becuase black people are guaranteed to vote for democrats no matter what, if anybody dares to challenge that orthodoxy they are called a sellout, you were the one arguing that anybody that votes for a republican is a sellout

Second as far as the prison industrial complex, the architect of the prism industrial complex is joe Biden first of all, and half of you fuks are already takin out poms poms for him in 2016

It's a pretty simple sutio if black people want more attention from democrats, declare independence from the democratic party, vote for other parties and exercise full intellectual freedom and explore other ideologies and other solutions to black problems

I don't need to defend Obama and the democrats becuase I'm not a democrat but Obama has done some changes Drug Sentencing Reforms Halt Decades Of Prison Population Growth

But overall the way to get rid of the prison industrial complex is for people to stop participating in it in the first place
