outside of reparations for slavery and jim crow, we dont need specific laws for black people. i'm saying obama should be focused on black communities more than he has during his 2 terms.
nikkas cant name any benefit to having obama outside of feeling giddy over a biracial president. meanwhile, higher unemployment, higher rates of poverty, and we're getting killed in the streets by overzealous cops daily.
None of that is new and one man wasn't going to change it.
Too many people expected him to be President of All nikkas of America and not the United States of America. Meanwhile, under his watch My Brother's Keeper was established, the ACA was established, more minority scholarships than ever before have been given out, as well as an unprecedented amount of dollars in Federal Pell Grants for impoverished (Minority) students, student loan forgiveness as well as basically keeping the economy from going into a total deadspin. Dude spent the first 3 years of his president basically being a custodian cleaning up the 2nd worst food fight in school history.
Don't say the mans done NOTHING for black folks just because shyt wasn't called "The Obama Reaches Out To The Hood, Here's Some Free Money And Low Skilled Jobs, My nikkas, Act".
He helped you (ACA)
He helped you help yourself (Pell Grants, Loan Forgiveness)
and with My Brothers Keeper he is trying to help the future.
Dude is BY NO means a super president his stance on Israel is shaky at BEST, he's been weak against the GOP and his continued support of the War on Drugs blows my fukking mind. But the culture and the operations of the office are different from FDR's time. But you can't expect a president to all of a sudden sit back and basically give money and jobs away to ANY group.
I'd personally like to hear what kind of "help" he was supposed to give. Not being combative...seriously what would you want him to do? Address police protocol and mandate body cams on all police? Impossible, you need the cooperation of congress AND individual states. More Job Training? Nah, gotta have the Ways and Means subcommittee AND the Education subcommittee come eye to eye on that (nigh on impossible). Fix the infrastructure? That's been getting stonewalled by congress for the past 20 years.
The bullshyt that people don't get is that its your shyt for brains mayors, governors and State Legislatures stopping most of these things from having impact on your life. nikkas mad Obama ain't did shyt but won't show up for a local primary/general to protect your own interests
Slow down breh, heaven forbid we as tax paying citizens ask what he is doing for our community. We should never ask a president for anything like every other group/class has. They don't know yet but he's got a whole country to run.
for a politician in the first place is pathetic. A politician's feet should be held to the fire at all times, especially by a group that almost voted for him unanimously.
