I’ve always thought that if Obama did one thing, and one thing only, he could positive change America and go down in history as a good president. And regretfully, he didn’t attempt it.
What is this one thing? Address the crippling, spiraling, out of control dysfunction in the African-American culture. Instead of saying, you’re owed, he should tell them that they could do better. Tell them to clean up their streets, stay in school, study and do well,, that sex is for committed relationships, that drugs destroy lives. They revere him, listen to him, and he actually could have made a difference.
I’ve worked in this community, and as a white upper class woman, I have no street creds. Someone like me is not listened to. Barack and Michelle could have made this their mission and inspired a new generation.
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.
