President Obama said that if economic prescriptions of the type he supports to increase economic growth and reduce “income inequality” are not adopted, then race relations in the United State may deteriorate further.
“If we don’t do anything, then growth will be slower than it should be. Unemployment will not go down as fast as it should. Income inequality will continue to rise,” Obama said in an interview published Sunday by the New York Times. “Racial tensions won’t get better; they may get worse, because people will feel as if they’ve got to compete with some other group to get scraps from a shrinking pot. If the economy is growing, everybody feels invested, ” he said.
After almost five years in office, you'd think Obama would be man enough to accept some blame for the current economic situation.
No, I am not! The lack of jobs is also due to illegal immigration but apparently Obama doesn't care about that aspect. Come on, you and I are on the same wave length on this issue so what was the purpose of your remark?
Here is a clip from the article that the OP posted. Our jobs are shrinking also due to the above.
“Racial tensions won’t get better; they may get worse, because people will feel as if they’ve got to compete with some other group to get scraps from a shrinking pot".
These are two separate issues. It has nothing to do with illegal immigration.
As far as being on the "same wave length", I let that bone go along time ago. Unfortunately I allowed myself to get caught up in all the hatred that is known as the "Illegal Immigration" forum. I didn't like what I was saying or the way I was thinking. Why should I let something I can't change consume me? Sometimes it's a good thing to stop and take a damn good hard look at yourself and ask yourself if you like what you see.
I still have my views on illegals and issues that relate to them, but I don't need to express them with contempt. You and malamute inject "illegals" into posts wherever you two can. I even went to the point of apologizing to IBMuseum for any hurt that I may have caused him. It's not that he's pro-illegal, he's just a decent man.
As for how black people are going to react when millions of illegals are granted residency and the opportunity of employment, that's to be seen.
I think Obama just needs to continuously remind black people how bad off they are and allude to the cause being the middle class, the majority of which are white people. Just his way of building resentment and division. When one speaks about racial tension it's safe to assume it's about black and white people, not Hispanics.
Getting worse? When were they ever good? We only lock arms in this country in the aftermath of a disaster. As soon as it fades from memory, it's back to the same old hatreds, hostilities, and suspicions.
That's how we've always been, and America will always be that way. It's in the DNA of the nation because we were set up that way.
Race relations is one of the lamest subjects you can discuss. All of us should only care about the relationships we have with our own acquaintances, and nevermind people you don't know or associate with.
Pffffft...race relations. Who gives a damn.
Exactly. The week of the 2001 attacks was off the charts. Some of them had the nerve to give me a lapel pin or button. I threw them away.
Obama did everything he could, lie, beg, manipulate and say and do anything to keep HIS JOB!
I remember Obama speaking about the people in Pennsyvania as being fearful of losing their jobs and clinging to their guns and religion.
Obama quote-
And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
Obama never was a job creator. His ideology of socialism doesn't create jobs, just debt.
Obama wants to keep people dependent on the government.. that is how they keep the power over the people. Obama doesn't care about creating jobs. He rather create division of the races.
The birth right of the blacks are not valued by Obama. Illegals have more precedence in his administration. That is very odvious as he balances power between the races.. Obama feels he has the blacks in his pocket so he speaks on the Trayvon Martin case but does nothing about illegals taking their jobs away. Obama uses the emotions of the black people to strenghten his power over them but gives them nothing as far as jobs. Obama is sly, manipulating and his balancing act between the races is quite a feat. His lawyering skills shows as his lies and half truths go spinning with every speech.
Obama is such a fraud. He is absolutely laughable now.. his same ole speech is so worn out and anyone who follows him is past gullible.. they must be braindead or suffering greatly with monomania.
