how so? by definition this is not racism. I would be sending them into the lions' den to not teach them the reality of our existence in this country. f**k what you believe or think you know. my child doesn't discriminate and has friends of all colors. he is a normal 7 year old boy. but he will be aware and he will be prepared.

Of course you wouldn't criticize Obama about anything he does. He's perfect.
You claimed that he never talked about middle class people who did well for themselves. He has spoken at length about his wife's parents who worked very hard and were middle class. Seems logical enough to derive from that that your negative attitude extends to the man's wife.

Didn't answer the question though, I noticed.

That speaks volumes.

Tell me, just how did Obama help you and what did he do for you? I'll ask again - what struggles did Obama experience? You have a someone who got a pass in life, everything came easy to him, is a millionaire, saying he knows what it is to struggle???

He spent his adult life as a community organizer? You should read more - he spent 3 years as a community organizer. Seems I know more about "The One" than you do. LOL

You aren't capable of discussion so I won't attempt to have one with you.
He added jobs to the economy and I've been working w/o fear of losing my job to a recession? Is that enough "help" or were you expecting me to say that he increased my welfare benefits?

You have the nerve to bring up the CRM and then ask what struggles a Black man went through growing up in the 60s, 70s, & 80s? Good lord...

The "community organizer" dig isn't' my criticism. It's Conservatives' criticism. But I'm glad you're on board w/ pointing out how absurd that criticism is... until the next time you feel it suits your agenda bring it up.

All your last posts have done is shine a spotlight on your own ignorance. Throwing out buzzwords like "civil rights movement" don't make up for the fact that you obviously don't understand what it was about, or who was impacted by it.

Bold text: please quote my post (if you can.) and then explain your "logic".

As for everything else your logic must be skewed by all the kook-aid you drink, not to mention you ASSuming a lot and using "logic" based on nothing I have said, but I'll wait for you to quote my posts to support your ASSumptions and logic.

To answer your question: .

LOL. Put the kook-aid down!!! How many jobs were lost before he added? How many jobs that were full time are now part-time?

Don't preach to me about the 60s, 70s and 80s. Were you around for the CRMs? Did you take part in the CRMs? I don't think you know as much about the CRMs as you think you do, or is being black enough to claim you know all about the CRMs and that white people don't know anything about the CRMs, especially since there were many whites who supported the CRMs, and some that died doing so.

You and your ilk like to think yourselves smart, which is nothing more than a guise for your lack of knowledge and your own ignorance.

To answer your question: .
From your post:

"When was the last time he spoke of successful black men and women who struggled and pulled themselves up out of poverty? Or those who came from middle class that succeeded? He's not an example of success. Successful people work hard to get where they are, he was in the right time at the right place and had the gift of gab."

So basically you cannot defend your stance that the president has not worked hard to get where he is. Working hard on those personal attacks though.

Got it.

You asked what Obama has done for me, and I told you. If the fact that a recovering economy doesn't fit your definition of "helping Black people"... oh well.

I could be completely oblivious to everything that happened during the CRM, and I still wouldn't make as ridiculous a statement as a Black man that grew up in the 60s, 70s, & 80s, didn't face any struggles.

I'm not even ripping on you for not being smart. I'm ripping on you for being illogical. You don't need to be a genius to realize a Black guy named Barack Obama who lived during the CR era, and who worked w/ working class Blacks, and is an active member of the professional Black community probably knows what struggles Black men go through.
