I have had to call the cops on these a-holes on more than one occasion. One time their kids wouldn't get out of my yard after I asked them nicely....so I called the cops and they accused me of only calling because they are black....Uh NO...it's because their disrespectful kids were in my yard.
A co-worker of mine was flaunting in everyones face last week her income tax check (that Obama "gave" her), of course the stupid b*tch has 3 kids, don't know who the fathers are, on section 8 and food stamps and still works (her excuse is so they think I am trying).....
I encounter more and more black people like this everyday....a sense that they are owed something. So my question is, what has Obama done to repay these poor blacks what is owed them?
Something that non-Blacks folks seem to fail to get out of their heads is this: WE DON'T CONTROL WHAT ALL BLACK PEOPLE DO. WE DON'T ALL THINK THE SAME. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BEHAVIOR FOR OTHER BLACKS; IT IS NOT A REFLECTION OF WHO I AM. THERE IS NO "BLACK COMMUNITY".

So, your Section 8 neighbors are driving their new car (Does Section 8 make it illegal to purchase a vehicle? Does being on Section 8 require one to walk everywhere?) and "using their food stamps to buy food" (what else are they supposed to use them for...how do you know they get food stamps? And don't say they told you...from your tone and attitude, they probably can't stand you either.)

And your coworker was "flaunting" her tax refund. I know a lot of folks that talk about their refund, their plans for it, etc. Also, where do you work that makes it possible for someone to earn a wage and still qualify for Section 8 & food stamps (that is assuming you even know she gets either of those things)? Based on your housing and job description, it sounds like you have made some poor choices and have more in common with these low-income folks than you think.

I've lived in my black skin for over 30 years; I don't know many Black people who feel they are owed anything. I know a lot of violent ones, a lot of lazy ones, a lot of smart ones and a lot of determined and driven ones...I can't help but think you're just spouting off nonsense all because you were not tough enough to get some teen off your lawn. Either get over it or become a success and move to an area where you can avoid the unsavory crowd.

That is the TYPICAL ATTITUDE I was referring to. I guess you would classify as one of those "uppity ******s" huh?

All in keeping with a long Executive tradition, except for the first example.

Obama has shown blacks that having a black president will not solve any of their problems.

Maybe you intelligent folks here on CD can enlighten me as to what exactly has he done for black people.
You have black friends?

I pull the "race card" when the shoes fit. That doesn't mean I see every situation as racist.

THAT'S your response? You say my response is typical yet you say you often deal with Blacks who feel they are owed something...where do I indicate that in my post?................Exactly.

BTW, I'm not uppity and definitey not a n-i-g-g-e-r. But I am successful...maybe when you grow up and stop playing the victim card you too can move out of the hood.

Obama is running this country further into the ground than Bush ever thought of doing, yet the blacks continue to treat him like a saint. Why? Especially since he hasn't done a damn thing for them.
I knew this was a bash Obama/Blacks thread.

The questions you have can be answered here. It would probably take a book, and this is just his campaign promises, not including the other humanitarian work he's accomplished before.

You called the cops on a bunch of kids without bothering to talk to the parents? And you think food-stamps are used for something other than buying food? And you know they're on section 8 because...

And somehow you're able to tell yourself you don't hold contempt for blacks
