NAACP president: Black people worse off under Obama
- Thread starter Cancel 2018. 3
- Start date
NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous said Sunday, perhaps unwittingly, that black Americans “are doing far worse” than when President Obama first took office.
Hey bac....its this 'high school' level phase that has them in a fluster....you gotta dumb it down for these guys and even then its hit and miss.....
Cornel West: Obama A ‘Republican In Blackface,’ Black MSNBC Hosts Are ‘Selling Their Souls’
During an interview last week with Democracy Now, author and activist Cornel West offered harsh criticism of President Barack Obama, calling him a “Rockefeller Republican in blackface” and not someone who is actually looking out for the best interests of the impoverished. The prominent social critic also lashed out at black MSNBC personalities, accusing them of “selling their souls” in support of a president who has been anything but progressive.
Cornet West has some influence with the black community, so this gotta sting..........and linger.
Of course, our own resident pinheads won't give pay any attention to West's opinions....nor will the dare ridicule him for them....
they'll just make believe he didn't say anything and ignore him on this .....hypocrites to the end.

I don't think he unwittingly said it at all .. I think he meant to say it. Like many other African-Americans, he's waking from his hypnosis.
I don't get it twisted. These are good people. Dung is good people. I believe that he has nothing but good intentions in his heart .. but Obama is not who he thinks he is, he isn't who black people thought he was or should be.
It's the price you pay when lesser evil is all you're looking for.
But he didn't say it, wittingly, unwittingly or otherwise. He was misquoted.

Bush did crash the eocnomy with your blessings.
I disagree with the people who want to blame obama for things that he did not create no matter who they are.
Obama is president to all the American people and All the American people were harmed when the right crashed the world economy for the second time in one lifetime.
those are cols hard facts.

The recession officially ended 4 years ago. Reagan had us out of the recession before his first term ended.

And yet 99.9% of them voted for him again. They deserve all the misery that Obama has brought upon them and all that is to come.
That statistic is incorrect. http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/11/07/14993875-first-thoughts-obamas-demographic-edge?lite
And ~62M voters went to the booths for Obama. Do they deserve "all the misery that Obama has brought upon them and all that is to come"? Or is it just them darky folks that steal all ya'lls welfare money?

Not this crap again, there is no real comparison with Reagan's era.

You disagree when anyone who blames Obama for anything. He must be Jesus.
While I appreciate those rare times when liberals take issue with racism .. history demonstrates that they can never be trusted to stand up for issues of black concern. Your comment demonstrates that perfectly.
I recognize that the plight of black people is not your concern, but damn, how about a bit of honesty?
The FACTS are that African-Americans are doing far worse under Obama. I'm real sure that you're not interested in the statistics.
The FACT is that Obama is a corporatist .. a FACT that liberals like you run away from with the quickness.
Liberals have become teabaggers .. no use for the truth .. partisanship is the only principle they believe in.

The actual FACTS are that it was not the right that crashed the economy. It was the two parties in conjunction. You just ignore everything that points to the left's involvement in it and harp on the problems of the right. You wouldn't know a FACT if it smacked right into you and said 'pardon me, I am a fact'.

Show us any part of his comment that states or implies (in your mind) that Obama was responsible for the crash.

Jill Stein would have been better ..
But that's not the point. Even if one voted for and supported Obama .. how does that prevent them from honest critique of his policies?
.. and therein lies the problem.
Partisanship is the rule of the day and democrats are no better with honesty than are teabaggers.
How does anyone with a shred of honesty in them claim that what has been posted on this issue is not the truth when the statistics stare them in the face?

I wonder what he would be like if he wasn't pulling his punches??

She can't see the forest for the trees my man. That's just how she is politically. (And to be clear it is not something specific only to Desh. There are Republicans that suffer from it as well.)
Jill Stein? How about someone who had a viable shot at winning that would have been better?
Also, too, I don't know that anyone on this thread has claimed that black people are not worse off under Obama. Nevertheless, I'm sure an arguable case could be made that black people are better off under Obama than they would have been had John McCain or Mitt Romeny won.
