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.”

Very sad but it is hardly a secret that Obama essentially gets a free pass from black voters due to one-half of his skin color, even though he has made them worse off. The Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Cleaver admits much the same, that Obama is getting special treatment due to his race, “With 14% unemployment, if we had a white president we’d be marching around the White House. The president knows we are going to act in deference to him in a way we wouldn’t to someone white.” Maxine Waters of all people goes even further, explaining that her black constituents don’t want their leadership to criticize Obama, “If we go after the president too hard, you’re going after us.”Too bad that the millions of minorities who have disproportionately lost their jobs, homes and savings didn’t just stay home on Election day.

my experience is they are smarter than that ~ and a good number of black candidates for president came to the fore over the years and they didn't make the grade.

This guy grew up white in a white family in Hawaii. he had to go to school to learn to understand what black people were saying.

We should have run superior candidates against Obama but we ran our candidates who were most likely to fail.

Absolutely ~ sure, he voted for Obama, but that’s most likely the last time he’ll ever vote for a black Democrat for President ~ it was historic. America’s first, last and only black President for how long ~ centuries ~ millenia?

You can file that, Mr Jealous, under “Shoulda Voted Republican”.

First Bill Maher, now Benjamin Jealous. Here’s what Maher said a few days ago:


“In 1968 it was 51 to 1, people on disability to people who worked. In 2001, it was 23 to 1. Now it’s 13 to 1. So, I mean, obviously there are some people who really do have disabilities. But 13 to 1? You know, it just seems like there’s less people pulling the wagon and more people in the wagon, and at some point the wagon is going to break.”


Have someone slipped liberals a truth serum over the weekend or something?

But look at it this way, under Obama you will never be prosecuted for voter intimidation or fraud. Lucky you!

Black men cannot run Africa, where they have a homogeneity of blackness in culture and philosophy.....

how do they expect one to run America?

Almost every major city is run by Democrats and every one of those cities has large concentrations of poor blacks who proceed to deal in drugs, have children by several different men, and murder each other.

Well Mr. Jealous, the house Negroes always treat the plantation Negroes exactly as directed by their massahs.
