NAACP president: Black people worse off under Obama
washington times ^ | January 28, 2013 | Jessica Chasmar

NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous said Sunday, perhaps unwittingly, that black Americans “are doing far worse” than when President Obama first took office.

“The country’s back to pretty much where it was when this president started,” Mr. Jealous told MSNBC host David Gregory on “Meet the Press.” “White people in this country are doing a bit better. Black people are doing far worse.”

Well, plenty of white people are worse off under Obamao too, so I guess that means he’s not as much of a racist as I thought...

It does not matter how much a black president screws it up for other blacks, it's still whiteys fault.

Wonder if NAACP will have a new President before long. Mr. Jealous obviously needs to spend more time on the plantation for even thinking this, let alone saying it.

Benjamin Jealous has to be the most accurately named person in America.

Hey Blacks,you think its Bad now? Wait until the 11 million Hispanics become Citizens and start competing for those 10 dollar an hour jobs,the jobs will then be 7 dollar an hour jobs,and there will be fewer of them.
Of course it will not be Obungos fault,it will be the WHITE mans fault.
Make note Naacp,its Obama who wants to make it EASIER for These ILLEGAL Hispanics to become citizens and get all those Jobs that Blacks uusally get.

What is mr. Jealous basing his opinion on that “white people are doing a bit better?” How the heck would he know? For the first time in 40 years I don’t have a job and haven’t had one for 2 months.

But he is right about his fellow blacks. Central Florida is heavily a minority community and I see it every day. Black people, mostly male, sitting on their front porch or just walking the neighborhood looking lost. They don’t have much hope and Obama does NOTHING for them except give them a paltry handout. Disgraceful.
