It will change for the worse. More dependency on government. More broken homes and families. More crime and violence. Obama is a younger version of LBJ and we all know where the great society go us. Disaster.
Someone brought up a good point in another thread.
We can all argue why Black America has fallen behind in almost every major statistical category.
There are many reasons and excuses given.. everthing from slavery to racism to prejudice to white people in general to poverty, etc.
So Obama is President.
No more excuses.
Will Black America change?
They lead in some bad statistical categories like AIDS, Poverty, Welfare, Murder, Violent Crime, Robbery, dropout rates... will these stats change??
Not really. The thing is that is not just a race thing. In my military travels around the world. I find that people in a certain class level from South America to Asia to Europe you find the same thing. Here we only see race, because that's what we choose to look at through goggles. Classicism is the real enemy, but you are not taught this because poor people would join together to change there conditions. As long as people are able to say "at least I'm not those people" even though they are in the same place, things won't change.
Nothing will change and it's not supposed to. As President of the United States, Barack Obama will act in the best interests of the people of the United States, not Black people of the United States.
I think people like jesse jackson and the rev wright will have to come up with new material
Good point.. all their arguments go away.. who will they point to next?
Perhaps they will change their fight to other minorities. They will say all the eskimos in Alaska are poor because our President is black and doesn't understand them.

Honestly, I almost want Obama to win just so black america will stop making excuses.
I'm very anxious to see if black america will progress under Obama.
Don't get me wrong.. I hope and pray things getter better for black america. I'm tired of hearing the excuses.
