Question, what promise did Obama make the black community when running?

[GoddamnyamanProf]

People expected Obama to be a Civil Right hero like Malcolm or Martin.Failed to realize he is just another politician.For years we wanted and thought a black president would bring our challenges to the forefront and fix them.4 1/2 years later we in the same place we were in prior to Nov 4,2008. *sings* Yes we cannnn change the world

What exactly were you expecting? What were some challenges and issues that should have been brought to the forefront and fixed?

Yeah I remember that he said he wasn't the president of black America as in that video Ill posted though , and possibly something else along the lines his policies not just help black people but all people and yadayada

 

[Easy-E]

What promise did he make during his campaign that would help only the black community did he lie about? What African American stimulus plan did he promote? What war on black violence in the inner city did he renege on? Just curious.

That's the illest thing about the last 5 years.

And anyone who dared got the: WHAT YOU DOOOOINN? LET THAT MAN GET INTO OFFICE, FIRST! DON'T BE HATIN'! LET ME GET IN THERE, FIRST!

I definitely was caught in the moment, but, I knew black ppl were setting themselves up for failure

Smiley and Dr. West are pariahs for giving expectations.

Dude's only exception was the repair the Black American Image.

I'm reading people talmbout black guys cuttin' their cornrows and dreads off and Obama'n

Or standards were lllooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Nothing he just benefited from Black America Insecurities. I would like to say though when the white presidents returns in office they will not respect blacks even more. We had a Black president in office and we didn't demand change to our problems or anything.

They going to be like gtfoh. You had Black President and didn't do shyt about your problems so why should we.

Why I'm never registered Democrat, again?

I need to forget out how be an Independent...we all need to.

See this is the type of shyt that pisses me off about dudes like you. The only thing you got from the 1:30 minute clip was the 1 line of saying stop complaining. What about him urging people to not give up, to fight, to move forward!!! Do you not get the fukking message??? The fukk does complaining do? You know why gays and Mexicans had hot button issues? Because they fought, they marched, the protested, they formed alliances. I bet you don't like Al Sharpton do you. Let me stop, this is useless. I'm truly mind blown

That dude got me a bit heated lol. Like that is exactly what a Sean Hannity would take from that clip. How could a black man not agree with that message and then find a way to minimize it into an insult. I just don't get it bro.

So in a nutshell Mexicans got what they wanted because they complained right?


And Im certain your ignorant of this, but plenty of black organizations have complained, directly to the white house. Yet for some reason they have fallen on deaf ears. But since CNN doesn't broadcast these movements because its not on the national agenda no longer, no one gives a damn. Remember, according to white folk racism is dead. We have a black president!
