PBS's Tavis Smiley made a comment Thursday that every African-American as well as liberal media member should sit up and take notice.
Appearing on Fox News's Hannity, Smiley said, "The data is going to indicate sadly that when the Obama administration is over, black people will have lost ground in every single leading economic indicator category" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
Funny, i'm doing ok and i certainly voted for him. Proud that i did too. And i'm as black as it gets.
He hasn't led anyone into anything. If you're doing bad, get off of your ass and turn it around. It's not the government's responsibility to raise your living standards.

You continue to deny the truth... you know the black community in general is worse off.
... "get off your a** and turn it around"? You sound like a conservative... better yet, a Tea Partier.

The black community has ALWAYS been worse off "in general". SURPRISE!
And hell no..i'm not a conservative and i'm damn sure not a Teabagger. I'm the furthest thing from it...a far to the left Roosevelt/Clinton New Deal Democrat.
And proud as hell of it.
