Bad News for Black Families

When we assess the President's post-election performance and the effects of his redistributive and regulatory policies, we find that, like a falling tide, he is sinking everyone. We also find that although Barack Obama has hurt all American families, he has hurt black families most of all.......

The man is ill-suited for the job. He scores last...in unemployment, weeks unemployed, food stamps, and black illegitimate births, and near the bottom or tied for last in black unemployment, months of 12%-plus black unemployment, and children below the poverty line.

Barack Obama has crushed the business and hiring climate. What's left are his race-based initiatives.....

These impotent, Obama-centric promotions highlight the small-mindedness and exhaustion of his presidency......The damage will continue if he is re-elected, and rational self interest dictates that all voters, but particularly black voters, choose anyone but Barack Obama.

.....Black Americans should not succumb to the temptations of despair or denial by joining themselves to the disappointing Obama presidency. Our weak economy, black joblessness, and the travails of our families are not their failures; they are Barack Obama's. This should come as a relief -- a yoke lifted -- because family plights can improve once Barack Obama is voted out of office, all the while leaving intact the historical achievement of having elected a black president.

As well, let's not conflate the man Obama with the historical achievement. Black Americans may not be robbed of the fact that we have elected a black president and at some point will do so again. Our achievement is irreversible, whether Barack Obama leaves the White House after one term or after two. It's just that all of us, and black Americans in particular, will be better off if he leaves after one.

It’s all about the socialism. Race is but one group exploited - age, sexual orientation, gender, infirmity, class, socioeconomic level — you name a group they can carve away from identifying as American and exceptional, toward becoming aggrieved victims that are owed, they’ll find it, nurture it and exploit it for their own personal power.

The clearest proof yet that this is not just a political battle......it is a race war!

Sadly, most Black people are willing to drink obama’s Koolaid. He’s more powerful than Jim Jones was to his congregation. To them, he can heal the planet and anything negative said about obama is just from rich White Republican racists.

Yep. As a group, when given a choice between helping themselves or sticking it to whites, they will choose sticking it to whites everytime, even at their own expense (crabs in a barrel syndrome-rather drag everyone down than allow only some to rise-communistic thinking). It makes me wonder if they need a white scapegoat to excuse their failure, because without whites to point at as an excuse, they would have to take responsibility for it themselves.

No, we don’t have reverse racism, there is no such thing, racism is racism. What we have is a very high percentage of racists among the “African American community” and I for one will call it that. I am not willing to apologize for being white. I also refuse to listen to “African Americans” who try to pretend that they are the victims of racial discrimination in hiring. Here in the cradle of the confederacy the only people who are NEVER discriminated against in hiring are “African Americans”, the only people in my awareness who are CONSISTENTLY discriminated against are Caucasians.
