so according to dung, since black people are doing a full point worse than when obama started....they are not worse under obama
tff
tff
So, according to Yurt, not accurately quoting somone is not misquoting someone.
LOL.
The fact of the matter, Yurt, is that you don't know whether Ben Jealous thinks black people are "worse off under Obama." If you want to say black people are doing worse under Obama because unemployment among blacks is a point higher, than say so. But you can't use Ben Jealous to support your argument.

i didn't misquote him, the times did, which you already admitted...do keep up dung
their unemployment is worse...how you can possibly argue that is not worse under obama is truly mind boggling. i'm surprised you haven't drowned under all the water you carry for obama mr. apologist.

The Washington Times did. And you did.
I'm not arguing anything. I'm just telling you that Ben Jealous didn't say what you said he said and that if you want to argue that black people are doing worse under Obama you can't cite to Ben Jealous in support of your argument. You're on your own.

1. i quoted the times, not him
2. he did say their unemployment is worse under obama. yet, in your apologist world, that means they are better off under obama
once again...TFF

(1) No, you purported to quote him.
(2) You should have just titled the thread "Random White Guy Thinks Blacks Are Worse Off Under Obama." That's all this thread seems to be about. It sure as shit isn't about anything Ben Jealous actually said.

Black scholar: African Americans worse off under Obama
Hailed upon his election as the final nail in racism's coffin, Barack Obama has not delivered the hoped-for renaissance in African American communities where life on multiple fronts has turned worse as the president has moved on to other pressing issues, according to a leading scholar on race.
"Racial inequality continues to be an ugly sore festering in the heart of 21st century America, despite claims that it has become a post-racial society," according to Northwestern University professor Aldon Morris. "Social conditions for poor and working-class blacks have actually worsened since Obama took office," he wrote in the authoritative Contemporary Sociology.
Reviewing a book on race, "State of White Supremacy: Racism, Governance, and the United States," Morris provided this depressing list:
"The black/white wealth gap has widened; the black unemployment rate has risen to alarming proportions, especially in inner cities; the home foreclosure crisis has hit the black community with fiercely disproportionate consequences; poor black and brown communities continue to be devastated by crime. The murder of black and brown youth is commonplace, even just blocks from Obama's Chicago mansion and his new home in the stately White House. At the same time, public education for blacks has deteriorated drastically."
And, he added, "Above all, the massive incarceration of black and brown people during the first decade of the twenty-first century has been so crippling for those communities that it has been diagnosed as the New Jim Crow."
Morris told Secrets that blacks and liberals are disappointed with Obama, though, he added, life wouldn't be better if Mitt Romney wins the election.
"There can be no doubt that many black people are disappointed with Obama because of his avoidance of issue of race inequality," he told us. "Then too, many liberal and progressive Americans also feel that Obama has avoided addressing poverty in this country. Yet blacks and whites are clear that these conditions will worsen if Republicans are elected to the White House."
Obama continues to have the overwhelming support of African Americans, though their enthusiasm has waned. Morris noted that black criticism of the president is both complex and sensitive. "Blacks worry that any of their criticisms of Obama will be used by the right and racists in their attempts to destroy his presidency," he said.

Obama did little to nothing about the mortgage crisis .. while bailing out the banks and Wall Street.
He's done nothing but make the rate of incarceration even worse and won't even speak to the so-called "war on drugs" which is nothing more than a war on people and affects us disproportionately.
Without question we're doing worse under Obama.

NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous said Sunday, perhaps unwittingly, that black Americans “are doing far worse” than when President Obama first took office.
“The country’s back to pretty much where it was when this president started,” Mr. Jealous told MSNBC host David Gregory on “Meet the Press.” “White people in this country are doing a bit better. Black people are doing far worse.

It doesn't matter how you slice it .. blacks are doing far worse under Obama.
Jealous isn't the only black person saying it .. LOTS of blacks are saying that Obama disregards the plight of black people.
