Why don’t you get your azz to work and forget about the color of your skin.
The rest of us never think about it until you bring it up and it has absolutely nothing to do with your ambitions, character, ethics or, really the lack of.
“Get a Dream!” man...
Sounds like the MSM trying to throw him a lifeline/change his course before the iceburg.
I thought we were all Socialists now?
And here it turns out we’re all just disillusioned! ;)
Another little secret is that BO’s Kenyan ancestors sold their west and central African ancestors into slavery.
“many African-Americans see an unemployment rate well above the national average, continuing problems with crime in many neighborhoods, and a president more interested in trying to help other voting blocs that didn’t give him such unwavering support. “
Blacks are 99% for obola anyway, so why should obola want to court them with freebies? And the criminal behavior preceeded obola.
They're right.
Until they stop waiting for government.
Then they can get up off their lazy behinds, go to work and stay with the mother of their children.
Now they know what ‘under the bus’ means.
0bama’s approval numbers wid da community have dropped to what? They probably dropped down to 90%.
Why should he promise to do anything for them? Well over 90% of them vote for Democrats anyway.
“which gave Obama support like no other group, too often doesn’t see the investment paying off”
Cry me a river-that is what happens when one group buys into the belief that it is all about them.
Wasn’t it John Belushi’s character in Animal House who said (after they wrecked that car that belonged to a buddy’s brother) “you f***ed up-you trusted us”...
They need to be disappointed in the culture of dependence and whining. It just doesn’t work.
He sure doesn't act like he knows he is a lame duck. He acts like he will be forever president of the United States.
In my opinion the day of black gripes has arrived, but I don't think the day of a significant shift of black votes from Demoncrap to Republican has arrived.
For all you FReepers who cheated, like I did, and read the entire article, you know the main gist of the article was “If Blacks don’t turn out and vote this year, Democrats are toast.” That was the main theme of the Article. But, be not deceived, Black “leaders” and “agitators” have been working for months to ensure that Blacks turn out for these Midterm Elections in 2014.
I know for a fact, that in Arkansas, there are “out of the way” store fronts with no signs saying that they are a Democrat operations. (11 of them across the State at last count.) They are working “stealth-like” to register Black voters, sign up Blacks for Absentee Ballots, assist in filling-out and mailing in Absentee Ballots, organizing GOTV efforts, drive people to the polls on Election Day.
Now, if they’re in AR, you know they are in other States as well. Are their efforts going to pay off? We’ll know on Election Night, Nov. 4th.
quote “People in this community just don’t think anything is going to change”
It will... once YOU decide to make it change! (and once you stop voting for morons because of their skin color or because they have a D after their name!)
I think the article purposely avoids the obvious fact that blacks turned out in massive numbers in 2008 and 2012 because the candidate was black. Racism exists in black communities, but the writer and the MSM will never go there.
An Open Letter to the Democratic Party (From Black
Woman)
Lincoln Heritage Institute ^ | 3-18-08 | Lt. Colonel Frances Rice,
“We, African American citizens of the United States, declare and assert:
Whereas in the early 1600’s 20 African men and women were landed in Virginia from a Dutch ship as slaves and from that tiny seed grew the poisoned fruit of plantation slavery which shaped the course of American development,
Whereas reconciliation and healing always begin with an apology and an effort to repay those who have been wronged,
Whereas the Democratic Party has never apologized for their horrific atrocities and racist practices committed against African Americans during the past two hundred years, nor for the residual impact that those atrocities and practices and current soft bigotry of low expectations are having on us today,
Whereas the Democratic Party fought to expand slavery and, after the Civil War, established Jim Crow Laws, Black Codes and other repressive legislation that were designed to disenfranchise African Americans,
Whereas the Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, and their primary goal was to intimidate and terrorize African American voters, Republicans who moved South to protect African Americans and any other whites who supported them,
Whereas, according to leading historians (both black and white), the horrific atrocities committed against African Americans during slavery and Reconstruction were financed, sponsored, and promoted by the Democratic Party and their Ku Klux Klan supporters,
Whereas from 1870 to 1930, in an effort to deny African Americans their civil rights and to keep African Americans from voting Republican, thousands of African Americans were shot, beaten, lynched, mutilated, and burned to death by Ku Klux Klan terrorists from the Democratic Party,
Whereas Democratic Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman rejected anti-lynching laws and efforts to establish a permanent Civil Rights Commission,
Whereas the Democratic party has used racist demagoguery to deceive African Americans about the history of the Republican Party that:
(a) started as the anti-slavery party in 1854,
(b) fought to free African Americans from slavery,
(c) designed Reconstruction, a ten-year period of unprecedented political power for African Americans,
(d) passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution granting African Americans freedom, citizenship, and the right to vote,
(e) passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875 granting African Americans protection from the Black Codes and prohibiting racial discrimination in public accommodations, (f) passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 granting African Americans protection from the Jim Crow laws,
(g) established Affirmative Action programs to help African Americans proper with Republican President Richard Nixon’s 1969 Philadelphia Plan that set the first goals and timetables and his 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act that made Affirmative Action Programs the law of our nation, and
(h) never sponsored or launched a program, passed laws, or engaged in practices that resulted in the death of millions of African Americans,
Whereas Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka (a 1954 decision by Chief Justice Earl Warren who was appointed by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower) was a landmark civil rights case that was designed to overturn the racist practices that were established by the Democratic Party,
Whereas after Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt received the vote of African Americans, he banned African American newspapers from the military shortly after taking office because he was convinced the newspapers were communists,
Whereas Democratic President John F. Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Law, opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and was later criticized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for ignoring civil rights issues.
Whereas Democratic President John F. Kennedy authorized the FBI (supervised by his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy) to investigate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on suspicion of being a communist,
Whereas Democratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, made a 14-hour filibuster speech in the Senate in June 1964 in an unsuccessful effort to block passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and was heralded in April 2004 by Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd as a senator who would have been a great leader during the Civil War,
Whereas when the 1964 Civil Rights Act came up for vote, Senator Al Gore, Sr. and the rest of the Southern Democrats voted against the bill,
Whereas in the House of Representatives only 61 percent of the Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act as compared to 80 percent of Republicans, and in the Senate only 69 percent of the Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act, compared to 82 percent of the Republicans,
Whereas Democratic President Bill Clinton sent troops to Europe to protect the citizens of Bosnia and Kosovo while allowing an estimated 800,000 black Rwandans to be massacred in Africa, vetoed the welfare reform law twice before signing it, and refused to comply with a court order to have shipping companies develop an Affirmative Action Plan,
Whereas Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore created harmful racial division when he falsely claimed that the 2000 presidential election was “stolen” from him and that African Americans in Florida were disenfranchised, even though a second recount of Florida votes by the “Miami Herald” and a consortium of major news organizations confirmed that he lost the election, and a ruling by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission declared that African Americans were not denied the right to vote,
Whereas the Democratic Party’s soft bigotry of low expectations and social promotions have consigned African Americans to economic bondage and created a culture of dependency on government social programs,
Whereas the Democratic Party’s use of deception and fear to block welfare reform, the faith-based initiative and school choice that would help African Americans prosper is consistent with the Democratic Party’s heritage of racism that included sanctioning of slavery and kukluxery, a perversion of moral sentiment among leaders of the Democratic Party whose racist legacy bode ill until this generation of African Americans,
Now, therefore, for the above and other documented atrocities and accumulated wrongs inflicted upon African Americans, we demand a formal written apology and other appropriate remuneration from the leadership of the Democratic party.
This article is a surprise, we see so many of them vowing to support 0 to the end of time. Makes me want to ralph.
