President Barack Obama uses the word "N!gger" on Marc Maron podcast

[marcuz]

I really don't think you understand politics in this country or the job of the President.

no, i get it. obama is just a powerless figure head that cant do anything for black people.

but he can make sure israel gets them checks. he can grant amnesty to illegals in mexico and haiti. he can lobby for gays and trannies.

but when it comes to black folks, hey, its all out of his hands; he cant do squat. actually, can ANY of you name 1 positive benefit to obama being president in the last 2 terms? can yall just name 1 way blacks have been positively affected?

Anybody else think this is just fanning the flames of the impending race war?

Issues of citizenship and foreign aid have what to do with racism?

Nobody is saying we shouldn't expect anything from our president but we need to organize, decide what we want and work with him to make it happen. If we had a black lobbyist group in Washington that pushed Obama and Congress to pass legislation we wrote to fix problems in our community we might get somewhere. Coming online bytching about things not being done without being able to verbalize what we want done doesn't help anyone.

actually that's what everyone is saying. black folks have been asking for two terms now "what is obama doing for black americans"

the answer are always the same "he's not the president of black people" or "the president cant do anything"

stop deflecting and answer the question

in what ways have blacks benefited from an obama presidency

 

[BulletProof]

Or he can go on a white podcast where most of the listeners still think he's a closet Muslim from Kenya and hate his guts and vehemently deny everything that he says.

That's not Marc Maron's demographic.

 

[LogicFirst]

Exactly.

 

[Rack4K]

A complete non-story in my opinion.

 

[///Vega+++]

do yall realize that he would never utter a derogative term let's says towards Jews on live radio/TV ?
what does that tell you ?

 

[LogicFirst]

why are some of you fakkits getting your panties in a fukking bunch? God, we gotta make a fukking story about everything these days. Every little thing is analyzed and discussed. Obama went on the Marc Maron podcast, which is a very popular comedy podcast that is listened to by both black, and white people. I think that's cool as fukk as a podcast is such an awesome way to get a glimpse into the personality of the president.

Breh, our panties aren't in a bunch, the media's panties and whites panties are in a bunch. No black person sees what the big deal is

- lower unemployment for blacks
- higher percentage of black home owners
- higher networth
- lower poverty rates

i'm not saying bush sr, clinton and jr were great presidents for blacks. i'm saying all the stats point towards blacks losing more than we've gained in the last 7 years. you can blame policies from the previous presidents, but our current president has done jack shyt to ix those problems

honestly, i believe his presence alone has caused a severe racial backlash. so while we're taking the hit for obama, hes done absolutely nothing for us.



has obama fought for AAs though? it's one thing to try and get blocked, but has obama even tried? seems to me like he's too scared of whites to even address anything beneficial for blacks.

so if the argument is there's no actions or policies obama could make to help blacks, then why are we wasting our time voting in presidential elections?

some of what i would have liked to see obama push for:



would start with

- racial income equality--we hear so much about white women getting paid less, yet they still earn more than black men.
- black unemployment--implement policies that'll help put blacks back to work, earning a livable wage
- police brutality--mandatory body cams, if the cam is turned off or view is obstructed; automatic manslaughter charge for the cop
- underfunded public schools--implement policies that'll insures no prisons are constructed while schools are being shut down.

He has been pushing for increased funding to education in low income areas but gaining no ground.

He pushed to make college and other higher education options more affordable and more available to low income families. Got pushback no real progress.

He tried to start government building and infrastructure repair and improvement projects to create high paying jobs in construction that wouldn't require higher education to get people working right now. It went nowhere.

As for the no prison deal, that would take a law that states would need to go along with and that would never get through Congress due to all the money in the prison system.

He is currently trying to get the body cam idea through but is being fought the whole way.

You're saying Obama has not done shyt to fix the problems of the previous presidencies...I mean that's just straight up not true from the wars in the Middle East to the Global Financial Crisis a few years back to "Obamacare" which is being attacked as we speak.

And again your worldview seems very narrow just based on the suggestions you made at the end there.

Your ideas function on the position that Obama can just wave his hand and make magical shyt that he does not have control over simply take place.

i'm talking specifically about the black community that is suffering disproportionately

i fully understand obama cant wave a magic wand to get shyt pushed into law. but obama could have definitely used his political capital to work towards fixing unfunded black schools, police brutality, unemployment in the black community, and racial income inequality.

It means he's not Jewish.

you can post that pic all you want...cause its not me

He's revamped the SBA for instance and now more minorities have access to start up capital than ever before.

I see a bunch of people really angry in here that he went on a white podcast and a bunch of other stupid shyt, if you don't have your panties in a bunch then I wasn't talking about you.
