So Barak Obama signed the "Blue Alert" law to protect police

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Great points on everything dap + rep.

However I do disagree about the next black president. History has shown that often times black folks get that one shot (black governor or mayor) and that shot never happens again. Or the first black elected candidate comes in and helps black folks and following black elected officials do less and less and less.

Black folks missed the boat on Obama IMO. They should have kept the heat on him.....but this is an issue we have with all these politrickians. We vote them in they clap our hands thinking the job is done. Nope we need to keep our foot on their necks to make sure they give us what we need.....or threaten to remove votes and donation dollars for the next election.

nikkas forgot but during reconstruction we HAD black senators and representatives. Whites wiped ALL of that out for almost another century.

Huh?!? You’re introducing an entirely new discussion (deflecting) in the middle of my point. You’re essentially saying I’m right, but let’s talk about the TYPES of democrats they were

Clearly my statement is true and you know this - BUT, I’m supposed to always add the footnotes to protect Obama!

You all are proving my point over and over again and don’t even realize it.

You hate Obama more than incumbents who actually make laws. Sad.

You’re purposely misleading and you know it.

If you weren’t trying to mislead, you would have never argued from that flawed position.

If you weren’t trying to mislead the black people on this site, you would have explained to them that although “technically” Democrats had a majority, they really didn’t because a simple majority can be stopped by a filibuster thus forcing the democrats to need 60 votes to override the filibuster. Furthermore, many of the democrats in power during Obama’s first term were more like republicans than democrats, which is why they were called conservadems.

And what is this..are you African American?

Get your goofy suspect ass Outta here. The bigger question is the one you avoided, which is why you’re purposely trying to mislead people on this site?

Just like I posted yesterday in the thread that banned the undercover st0rmfr0nt/reddit poster, some of these undercover racist white posters are doing more than just trolling for laughs, they’re actually trying to change the mindset and ideology of young black brothers and sisters by misleading them with shyt that makes them vote republican, waste their vote on 3rd party candidates, or simply don’t vote at all.

That’s what has led to Trump being elected, the racist ass republicans controlling everything, and racist Supreme Court judges being put in place to fukk us and our kids/grandkids for the next 50 years.

more mental gymnastics...so because i'm not discussing the 111th congress the way that YOU want me to

this means that i'm trying to steer black people down the path of voting for republicans

again, the lengths that you weirdos will go to to defend Obama is mind boggling...there is no doubt in my mind that you'd die for the obama's if need be, tell me I'm lying

also I'm african american and will definitely ban bet you over that - I've never used the term "THE BLACKS" in my life when referring to my own people

"damn he is whooping my a---I'll say he hates obama...yeah, that'll get me some daps!"

All I’ve said is that you’re misguided and uninformed.

I ask you what you would have wanted and I hear nothing.

I hope you’re happy with trump endorsing police brutality.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Not all policemen are bad. I am for the police but of course on the other hand police that are not ethical should be rooted out. The fact you don't have to walk around with a pistol or worried someone may break in your shyt while you're gone that's thanks mostly for the police.

Only good police are the ones that are too new to know better, were fired or quit because they werent with the human rights violations against black people. fukk all that other shyt you talking about. The fact is I DONT WALK around and its got nothing to do with the community and everything to do with my life expectancy dropping dramatically the moment im engaged by an officer. I can walk around the worst neighborhoods in Chicago unarmed and not feel threatened. But the people I cross the street for isnt a teenage black kid with dreads and a hoodie...its the police. They'd kill me way before shorty had a reason to.

you called me a "dolt" earlier too while you're trying to cloak yourself in victimhood

you never asked me what I would have wanted

and more police terrorism/brutality happened under Obama than any president i've ever seen; to which he responded by signing a bill that protects police

my bad, your lord and savior Obama

 

[DPresidential]

So Obama was a fukkboy because he passed a bill that established a warning system is there are legitimate threats against a police officer?

I'm going to assume anyone who shares this opinion believes that this was an affront to black people?

That's so extreme, it's crazy...

 

[panopticon]

This is a damn good post. Props.



Like the poster that called you into the thread, I would also point out that his “majority” consisted of conservaDems in the Senate and Blue Dog Democrats in the House. They were basically moderate Republicans.

Appreciate the compliment breh

What you wrote is 100% facts.

There's only a small group of populist / progressive Democrats in Congress. It's extremely tough to raise the funds necessary to secure a seat in the House or Senate if you're campaigning on one of those platforms. You're reliant on wealthy people who are traitors to their class (FDR style) and tiny, individual donations - no Big Pharma, FIRE, or corporate money is coming your way. You're also considered persona non grata by lobbyists - and the dirty little secret of Congress is that much of the bill-writing is done by lobbyists themselves - the budgets for individual Congressmen don't provide them enough resources to hire the staff necessary to properly write & vet legislation.

Getting anything passed that has broad-based benefits to the American public is an uphill battle off rip. If this country wasn't in the midst of an unprecedented economic depression and facing the real threat of a Communist revolution back in the 30s, there's no way we would have Social Security.

It takes a real catastrophe to bring economic & political elites to their knees - we had that, briefly, for about 1.5-2 years in the '09-'10 timeframe - and then it was gone. It will take another economic or national security crisis of similar proportions for us to have another shot at making some of the changes I mentioned.

Top Obama aide Ben Rhodes says Obama was way more aware of race than people realized

Dude is too real ... he just knew white people would overreact

He knew he couldn't just say cops were on some bullshyt because of the backlash

The Skip Gates thing changed his perception on white people being reasonable...

He knew he had to work twice as hard to not fukk it up for everyone else

He knew he was the Jackie Robinson of this shyt

He already knew white people were on some bullshyt...

From 35:50 to 41:30

Also 54:20 to 56:30

Bookmarked for later viewing - gotta get myself some uninterrupted time to watch that video.

for the link.

 

[Koba St]

The president is only a figurehead. He is more like the CEO of a company. nikkas be overrating the amount of power the president has. Also anyone who thought Obama was really going to "help" the black community fight racism and injustice is foolish.

That’s why Trump hasn’t done shyt since he came to power huh? Try telling the migrants and Muslims who can no longer enter the country.

I hear you breh, loud and clear. And I can't argue with anything you wrote, because its all 100% facts.

But I have to remain hopeful. There's something about the Presidency that holds a special power over the minds of people in this country - beyond just the power of the office itself.

I have to hope that the fact that a black man held the position for 8 years will have a significant influence on the willingness of upcoming generations of voters to vote for one again.

Right now, I'm just worried that the Democratic Party seems to have done very little to develop a bench of young black men capable of holding the position 10-20 years from now.

The only reason that his executive order is still in
Place is because the Republican majority Supreme Court ruled in his favor.

Elections have consequences. That shyt would have been struck down if people would have come out to vote in Democrats for the senate and House in 2010, 2012, and 2014 to support Obama. He would have pushed through his Supreme Court picks instead of being blocked by the Republican led senate.

Because of that, Trump made the Supreme Court picks.

Yes, elections have consequences.
