And then there are the people who think the tea party is racist, when you have an organization like the CBC actually sitting in congress making policy lol
Obama-bashers like to bring up how Obama shouldn't count on black votes because unemployment among blacks is much higher ("hope and change!" as the OP here mocked in such a thread), and then when a black person confronts the administration on it and won't allow the administration to tip-toe around the issue, the bashers condemn that. A non-black poster can create a thread "why is Obama avoiding black areas?" to no complaint, and when a black person asks "why is Obama avoiding black concerns?", you jump on them.
I'm actually happy to see the CBC going at the Administration about the Black unemployment rate. Black Americans have become too complacent and have given Barack Obama a pass because he is Black. I just read an article yesterday where Maxine Waters or someone in the CBC said that black people were going to give the President more time to do something and had been given him more time. My thought was, "What took you so long to see that there is a problem within the Black population when it comes to employment?"
I think what the CBC NEEDS to be asking is why the President constantly protects illegal immigrants who are working in the United States while so many Blacks are unemployed. Hmm ...
I don't like Maxine Waters' style, it is very theatrical and often bogus. However, they are correct in demanding to hear the aide put the spotlight on the unemployment issue for Blacks. Of course, black people have got to take responsibility for the situation themselves.
