Obama Plans Program to Help African-American Students (Whites need not apply)
wall street journal ^ | 7/25/2012 | By Laura Meckler

Posted on 07/25/2012 6:48:19 PM PDT by tobyhill

President Barack Obama was set to announce an executive order aimed at improving the performance of African-American students as he addresses the Urban League Wednesday night.

The speech to the civil rights group is an opportunity for the president to reach out to some of his most loyal supporters, African-Americans, who as a group have struggled more than most Americans in the tough economy.

Will this apply to South African whites?

Doubt it.

Racist, bogus president!

By his ‘executive order’ he will create another bureaucracy to help the helpless.

How insulting to this race of Americans that they need help from this socialist asshat!

So what he going to do order that they all get A's? I know maybe he can require that all teachers that are incompetent be fired.

Racism straight from the Oval Office. Who would have ever thought we’d live to see it.

Has any other legitimate president ever done anything like this where the sole recipient of the action was of the white race? If not, this usurper in chief has set yet another negative precedent.

November 6th. The end of the error.

Sounds racist to me.

I suppose Romney, once elected, ought to issue an executive order to help white students.

He is just keeping a campaign promise Michelle made when she said she was going to take care of “my people”.

He’s just trying to boost turnout by buying off each of his single issue demographics — single women (birth control, more gender based preferences), hispanics (amnesty, AA), blacks (this EO), gays (”evolving” on gay marriage)... basically everyone but straight white males.

Oh Hell. It goes beyond racism. I guess you could call it racial intimidation. It is like the KKK without the hooded sheets and burning crosses. The Oval Office has the power of labeling, which goes beyond all that.

It seems to me that millions of so called Americans love to be insulted. I can’t help but think that they are too stupid to know that they have been insulted.

". . . a group have struggled more than most . . ."

That's because the Obammunist can't increase their welfare payments.

Not only that, but every one will justifiably look at them with a suspicious eye as to their competency.

AA is a Double insult!

So painfully obvious that he sees his black voters and support going down. Romney gave a good speech at the naacp about how he would help them and received applause. If his black supporters don’t see this as anything but an election gimmick then they truly are idiots. I believe most see him and his wife for what they are. That’s why his numbers are going down in the black community

done purely to set up Romney to answer some main stream media lackey’s question ....”What is your opinion on the African American Office of Education?” ...answer one way he’s a racist ...answer the other way he pisses of a lot of republicans ...pretty smooth move
