Jesse is not happy Obama isn't blaming Whitey & Washington for Black Men abandoning their families.

"They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it," Obama said then.

"You and I know how true this is in the African-American community. We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled — doubled — since we were children. We know the statistics: that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of schools and twenty times more likely to end up in prison," he also said.

All those stats are true, but they’re all Whitey’s fault.

Ironically Jesse is right. The government policies have led to the dire situation facing the African American community. The Great Society removed black males from the equation in family development. It made them more than unneeded, they became an obstacle to receiving government monies.

These are not the policies Jesse is talking about, but they are the policies that have destroyed the Black family.

Oh and the haloed one isn't talking about these either. He's tying to placate whitey with his words about responsibility, but he will never admit, as his positions on ending welfare show, that it was government policies that destroyed black urban America and made them dependent of the Feds. This is in store for most of us, dependency, when the haloed one is elected, as he will be if right of center America doesn't wake up.
