What y'all don't understand is that Obama is not just the black peoples President. He is ALL the people's president. And rather you like it or not without support outside the black community he could not be successful. We as black people are a minority and there is nothing Obama or any other President can do about that. So when making policy decisions he would be failing as a president if he picked any one minority and concentrated on it. He has not "shytted" on anybody. He has really tried to help the lower and middle class, not just black folks. For those of y'all saying fukk the NAACP that is the type of orginization y'all should support if y'all want somebody to concentrate on black people's issues. Why are y'all not going to their events and supporting them?

What's wrong with black people wanting a black president to look out for our interests? We're the only group that gets shyt on for this.

He has done plenty for black people. His policy has been very black people freindly. People just complain cause he's not on tv everyday talking about black folks and what he's going to do for them.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Dog people have definitely been alluding to the fact that he has "done nothing for black folks" in this thread and for the life of me I cannot understand how Obama focusing on the groups that are necessary for him to remain in power in order to accomplish the goals he has set out to accomplish is construed as him disrespecting the NAACAP or black people.

The man is under intense scrutiny by his opposition and they will use any possible means in order to remove him from office including painting him as trying to uproot the white power structure by giving more to blacks.

I can understand if he was shrugging off the NAACP during his 2nd term. Then it would be like yo you have nothing to lose short of getting caught by TMZ getting a blowjob from a white house intern or something. But that's not the case. I'm all for scrutiny of Obama but it's still too soon given the circumstances of his position and the political climate of the country over the past 4 years.

If you don't agree with his policies fine that's cool. But if that's not the case then understand that you cannot defeat your opponents by fighting fair in war where the rules are loose and casual. The right-wing of this country has more or less gone on record saying that they will use any and every possible tactic to get this man out of office.

This is chess...not checkers...

This is the leader of the free world we're talking about here. He is, on paper, the most powerful man in the world and he's walking on eggshells for a bunch of CACs?

If he's worried about scrutiny then he may as well stay in bed all day.

If there is anything we've learn from Obama's first term is the the POTUS doesn't really have much power. A president can't get ANYTHING done without the cooperation of the rest of government. It's not about being scared of scrutiny, but finding a middle road that will give him the most support from the most people.

Nah not just the scrutiny but the power that the scrutiny holds. Come on breh you and I both know the American public will believe any shyt they see on the news. They thought he was a muslim and in the same breath accused him of following the radical teachings of the black church. That's tantamount to calling him a hasidic jew that enjoys pulled pork sandwiches.

Fox News said his wife giving a pound was a "terrorist fist bump"

Had members of congress calling him a LIAR during the motherfukking STATE OF THE UNION. The State of the Union breh.

He's gotta maneuver, at least for now. He can't be as direct as other Presidents. He has people in his own party trying to get as much as they can but at his expense.

2nd Term..2nd term...by year two of the 2nd term if we don't see something...THEN yes it's time to criticize. But not in the first term, when dude is trying to hold the country together with duct tape that we can barely afford because the previous administration smashed the shyt and then spent all the repair money on other shyt

This is a bit off topic but....

So what if Obama was a Muslim?

We can have Christians, Catholics, Jews & Mormons in office but, god forbid the Chief Executive be a Muslim I have no affiliation with Islam & even I'm offended by that shyt.

As you should but this is a post 9/11 USA...anything middle eastern is seen as evil and trying to paint the president as such is counterproductive

how is obama shytting on black people? he helped get rid of those monstrous mandatory crack sentencing guidelines while in office. blacks are suffering from staggeringly high unemployment, and obama has been one of the most vocal proponents of extending unemployment. fukk the naacp. fukk these opportunistic whiners who haven't done jack shyt for the black community but make us look like victims.

The bold is just not true. Historically the naacp have done a massive amount for the Black community. I would hope that you knew that. I agree that the current day naacp leave much to be desired. With that said the quality varies from branch to branch. I volunteered for the naacp when I was in Florida. The Pensacola branch was not well funded but they were active in the community, and was doing things to better the community. The Pan-Handle of Florida is racist as hell. The naacp branch in Pensacola would give free legal advice to people that needed it, and was fighting to stop school rezoning. These were real issues that people in that community were worried about. However when I left Florida and came back home to Buffalo, there was a big difference. I called the branch in Buffalo to see if i could volunteered like I did in Pensacola and they talked to me in a condescending matter. The naacp branch in buffalo does next to nothing. Again this is not even the point but i had to address the last part of your statement.
Now back to the main point of your argument. Have some of Obama policies helped Black people? The answer is yes. I never said that it didn't. Parts of the Affordable Care Act will help many in the Black community. But some of his policies are also hurting the Black community. You mentioned the Rockefeller Drug Laws, and how the Obama Administration supported abolishing it. However the Obama Administration have heighten the war on drugs and cracked down on marijuana even harder than Bush. This hurts everyone but it hurts Black people more, because the cops fukk with us more.

You asked how has Obama shytted on Black people. Let me ask you this. Would Obama skip a AIPAC convention? How about a major Hispanic LGBT convention? I know the naacp don't represent the views of all Black people, but do AIPAC represent the view of all Jewish people? But I forgot. Because we are Black we should stop complaining.

But it is okay for all other groups to complain. And the CBC was trying to do more than complain. They were trying to get the White House to help come up with a strategy to solve long term Black unemployment. I don't fukk with a lot of the members of the CBC, but I have to side with them on this issue.
With that said I still think we should vote for him in 2012 because there is really no other option for us. But we have to find a way to put more pressure on him. We can't just turn a blind eye when he fukks up.
