I think this is an example of "Obama derangement syndrome". How is it on one hand you say he fancies himself as the "black savior" when you yourself has noted that metrics for blacks have gone done under his presidency? If Obama ever communicated that he was going to do things particularly for blacks.....he would have never been elected or reelected. I mean, Trump has pledged to do more for blacks than Obama has ever pledged to do for blacks. If Obama had ever made such a statement, while running for President, he would have never been elected. Trump is the one who fancies himself as the black savior, proclaiming that by the next election he will have 90% of the black vote....rothlmao.

Quite simple. He was expected to be the savior of black people, but failed miserably at it. It was all a lie. He has no clue how to solve the black problem because he is black in skin color only. But now he is directing his Department of Black Justice to persecute anyone who can be made to look like racists. I'm surprised he hasn't come to the defense of the black guy who endangered the lives of hundreds (thousands?) by driving around drunk in Eastpointe and who had to be restrained in a chair because he was trying to injure himself.

I am confused on how expectations can be a lie. If any black person expected Obama to take us to the promised land.....then that is called unrealistic expectations.....not a lie.

The unrealistic expectations were based on the lying rhetoric of Obama. "There's no white America and black America." But of course we need a black Eastpointe to balance the white Eastpointe.

By the way, Indentured Servant, I really appreciate you indulging me in civil debate. I'm surprised the Mods have allowed it to go this far, lol.

First off....I did not vote for Obama either time. He did not have my vote because he DID NOT verbalize any commitment to address socioeconomic racial inequality. I felt that because he was black....that he would have to run from such commitments more so than would a white Democrat. It's funny because so many white conservatives seemed to have heard such pronouncements. The best Obama said, in those regards, was that a rising tide lifts all boats. He never, ever, claimed to address the inequality between black and white boats (I should not have to say that I am using boats as a metaphor....but some people will attempt to use the metaphor literally ). Again, if Obama had EVER come targeted black boats for uplift....he would have never been elected and if he had done it while president he would have been chased out of office. Hence...there were no lies to black people....PERIOD. Black people ASSUMED things......if anything.

Second, and Finally, I would bet you a beer (I don't drink though) that Obama does not have a clue of where EastPointe Michigan is.

So why then has he directed his DOJ to force superficial equality upon us? No one has ever filed a complaint about Eastpointe's election process. Shouldn't the DOJ be going after actual cases of injustice instead of dreaming them up? Seems to me there must be some agenda sent down from above for the DOJ to waste scarce resources on fabricated causes.

I assumed some local black officials or organization brought it to the attention of the Federal government.

Nope. No evidence of that. I suspect some bored SJW in the DOJ was looking for an easy case to waste taxpayer resources on. Of course, there is no shortage of race-mongering black "leaders" who have nothing better to do than pretend that racism is still as alive and well as it was 50 years ago. Maybe they want Eastpointe to be their Furgesun so they can get some media coverage.

Just showing how Obama's racist agenda affects us at a local level. Could happen in any city in metro Detroit.

And trying to keep some discussions going on this thread so it doesn't die off completely.
