The men in the vid recognize the problem and that is the black community cuts its own throat and throws away it political power. The {D} party knows they can do anything they want and still win over 90% plus of the black vote. The {D} party is moving on from black issues because they have bigger fish to fry winning over the Hispanic vote with pro amnesty. We all know this hurts poor blacks and whites because it saturates the lower skill job market.
Where is the black caucus on the issue of amnesty that hurts blacks? of course they are in lock step with the {D} party and are all for it. The black caucus is useless and the party leaders know that they can count on all 56 members? for votes on about every issue. The men are right you have no political power because you gave it away.
How about yesterday at the Selma march? there the Amnesty crowd was welcomed with open arms. You even had blacks holding up pro amnesty signs and black leaders saying how great that was. The black community was smacked in the face for the whole world to see and they'd liked it. And it is a smack in the face considering this will saturate the low skill job market hurting blacks. If that is not example of cutting your own throats what is?
I think the {R} party tries but not enough so I want to bring up one example of someone that is really reaching out and who I support by the way. And that is Rand Paul, who has teamed up with Cory Booker on trying to get legislation on the books that would expunge non violent criminal records so blacks and others have a better chance of gaining employment. I know it is not earth shattering but is is some thing that would help blacks be more competitive in the job market.
You would think the idea would be front and center for Obama and the black caucus. Obama likes the idea but do we see him pushing hard for it? wheres the black caucus? wheres their push? wheres their legislation?
Another idea from Paul is a a old Newt idea of tax free economic zones in blighted areas to lure corporations/other employers to the area. I am not sure how this idea will work? but I know I would love it too work because it would be good for the whole country. Giving gvt money to leaders has been a big failure as your vid has shown and has done nothing to improve the black community.
Paul also has been meeting with black leaders and has spoke in front of groups and it has been getting a positive re action. Do not take me wrong, and think I am trying to turn this into a pro Rand thread but in my life time IMO no one has reached more then him with ideas.
These 2 ideas I support, what are some of your solutions on how blacks gain political power instead of being chumps for the {D} party? what are your ideas on UE problem facing blacks?
Why is it Barack Obama's responsibility to favor the black community any more than a White President's? This narrow-minded view has to stop. Barack Obama has done plenty of initiatives for Black America (support of Justice Dept, my brother's keeper, etc.) but he's not a magician that can wave a wand and cure black issues. Blacks have done worse under Obama because unions have been declining since Reagan and his disciples were intent on destroying them.
OP, your post is just completely wrong. People who think the President has that power are sadly mistaken.
All of the Blacks that think Democrats are the problem just go vote Republican. Slit your own economic necks. Give away your voting rights. Just do it. Blame all your issues on Obama.
Pretty undeniable that balcks as a group have fared terribly during Obama Presidency....did he cause it, that would be the debate and did he intentionally cause it would be the better debate.

Name some policies Obama has signed (from the do nothing Congress) that have an adverse affect on the Black community.
That's what politicians do. The next Democratic play is women. If you don't like Hillary, don't vote for Hillary, don't agree with Hillary then you're sexist. LOL, a black president, it was all so damn obvious to those who could see past skin color.
Agreed, I have always said I could careless if someone is purple. This one was all about race. Had the media vetted him like they have been going after Hillary we wouldn't have suffered the last 6 years like we have because he would have never made it out of Iowa.
