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.
The conservatives are always telling us libs to get off of our duffs and go out to get jobs-better yourselves-pull yourselves up by your bootstraps, and when we do, they still whine about how bad things are and whine about how Obama is hurting them, maybe they should take their own advice? yes? because it's pretty obvious they're not doing that what with all that whine.
He does, But this forum in and of itself is moronic
Can anyone actually tell us what policies have pushed black people further into poverty ? if you cant tell us, then how can you make the Argument that it is the administrations fault?
Yes. It's very clear and simple. Obama's politics have kept unemployment high. MUCH higher than he promised. And unemployment among black people is astronomical. Also, his energy policies have increased costs for everyone. So yes, Obama has clearly led the black community further into poverty.
On the other hand, I voted for him too and have yet to experience this drastic fall from societal security that these concearned conservatives are trying to assist and inform me of.
Nobody said Obama has caused 100% of black people to live in poverty. I'm sure there are millions who have prospered.
But if you can't see the huge increase in poverty, you are blind.

I agree. But it's also clear that Obama's policies have kept unemployment high.
Why are you trying to spoil the party???...these white conservatives are truely concearned about your well being. They only started this thread to inform you of information you may not be privy to because you are still on the plantation.

I'm going to do just that.
I'm reducing my taxable income over the next few years so you get nothing from me.
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):
I don't think this has anything to do with Obama, it has more to do with the overall global economy. A number of blacks (and whites) are in low skilled jobs. The economy however, has shifted and a greater level of education and tech experience is necessary to thrive in this current market.
Prior to 2008, I earned around 40K less than what I earn now. I earn a six-figure salary, so no, I am not worse off, I'm actually doing much better. I don't however attribute my good fortune to Obama; I attribute it to my education, experience and network.

Obama didn't help that's for sure. Too many people are looking to the government. It's laughable that they think the government will raise their standard of living when government only decreases peoples standard of living. Maybe someday people will realize that government can not do it for them and as you said if they are doing bad get off their asses and turn it around.
