All I can say is blacks can't make any more demands of any presidents. You let this piece of shit get away after serving 8 years and showing nothing but annoyance and contempt to you. So when it gets more open season on blacks with Trump or Hillary in their I'm gonna ask what do you expect him or her to do
"Piece of shit"? Then you mention he passed laws impacting black folks. What laws did he pass? And what did you want him to do? The problem is that you have no idea of what he can legally do as President.
By the way, he can't pass laws but don't let that impact your narrative. There have been multiple postings as to what he has done through the administrative branch (e.g., HUD, EPA, etc..) but it's always the ninjas yelling about "black people are sheep" are the ones most likely to never vote and have no earthly idea of the role/powers of the presidency.

By the way, Tavis Smiley has probably done more damage to African Americans than Obama. Tavis "Ghetto Loan Peddler for Wells Fargo" Smiley used his influence in the black community (and standing as a so-called leader) to convince thousands of black folks to sign up for adjustable, fucked up loans that helped facilitate one of the greatest wealth transfers in modern black history (foreclosures in intercity communities that are now becoming gentrified and desirable areas for young whites).
Meanwhile, Obama pushed through the HAMP program to help alleviate the shit the types of fucked up loans Tavis and his elk promoted. I don't know what's more coontastic than not even studying or learning about what the President is doing/has done before bashing him as a piece of shit. White folks not even attempting to fuck wit him I understand, black folks - I never will get it.
So yeah - call me an Obama sheep or whatever you want. I actually took the time to read about what he was doing/has done. I think he could have done more - but I feel that way about every president. I think he has been one of the best (especially turning around what Bush has done). Saying fuck Obama without having any tangible reasons to provide makes you look like one of those pro-black attendees of a tea party rally cause you believe in the second amendment (dumb).
We as black people were left behind in the 80s once Reagan changed tax policies and began shipping jobs overseas. Bush accelerated it. There is a skills mis-match in the black community. Those manufacturing jobs that sustained our families and helped create home ownership opportunities/good lives are gone. They are coming back in only in limited numbers and in the form of high skilled jobs that require more education/technical skill. Couple that with the Recession and our housing values not coming back (Washington Post has a great article about why, including pure, ole fashion corporate racism). No president can change this alone...but look at the policies Obama tried to push forward (e.g., universal pre-school, expansion of pell grants, pushing fair housing policies through HUD).

damn man you are caping hard for the President. I am glad that you ate good through the last years ( I know that I have--shit I'm good), but if you turn over your shoulder and look at the VAST majority of Black people they are in absolute peril. Not all my people took the road I have, and they are fucking STRUGGLING.
Tavis Smily and Wells Fargo--major fuck up. Sponsorship money is one thing especially when nobody realized how bad the mortgage crisis was going to be. But okay lets assume Smily was a fiscal historian too, outside of being a television host, so he gets a major negative.
now compare it to, a person with actual power;
Obama...ongoing drones of civilians, sad to say the healthcare pricing in the ACA exchanges , Israel INCREASED financing TWICE (think any community could use those billions--hell send it to Kenya,send it Nigeria to find those girls, Ghana to beef up its electrical infrastructure anyone but an apartheid state that WE as Americans are funding), lack of federal indictments of ANY of the police and vigilante murderers, marijuana is still not legal, and he of course did not nominate a Black person to the Supreme court when he had TWO chances to do so, fracking abound (if you give a shit about climate change), increased offshore drilling (climate change---if Bush would have done this --democrats would have gone nutso), poor education Secretary that did NOTING to advance equal early education, and of course he cosigned the fuck out of Rahm Emanuel (or are we supposed to be okay with Mayors hiding police murders and evidence)----All things he could have changed, had direct control over.
You can easily tout all the wonderful things that Obama has done, dude has been great for the empire, shit fuck fracking, fuck offshore drilling, but the capitalist in me is like HELL YEAH gas is fucking $2/gallon bitch!!!...
but cmon now, you have to tell the whole story of some glaring holes in the lack of material impact for SPECIFICALLY Black people.
I have never heard a group love a president so much, while espousing about all he could not do, "in the face of", "in spite of". I just didn't know that's how we judged presidents. If that is the case Obama is the greatest empire President of the last 50 years that could not do shit, for the people who he allegedly adopted in Chicago, and fueled his rise to prominence
Guess all Black people needed to do was be Homosexual Jews, in the country illegally brought to the US as kids, while being so intelligent that we made millions, such that we could hide our taxes overseas and see our stock/real estate portfolios increase exponentially, so we too can be 1% philanthropists. All those groups got some....Black people we got shot more...

Explain to me how this racist white asshole can be on this board calling the first Black President a piece of shit without being banned?
There are no legitimate or factual reasons he gives not liking Obama.
HAMP.....lol..... If you look closely at this program and the way it was structured, you will see why a lot of us consider Mr. Obama some type of Neo-Negro cac puppet.....
All that "capping shit" is funny to me, but let's discuss:
1. The drones killing civilians are fucked. I don't agree with it - but I don't have any idea how he was going to deal with the fact that he had American soldiers in a pro-longed war dealing with all sorts of fucked up shit (from IEDs to burn pits). I don't know if there is a good answer for what he should have done. Should he have simply pulled out and allowed everything to go to shit? Leave the soldiers there? He picked what he thought was best - but that shit is all sorts of fucked up.
2. Healthcare pricing has gone up but then again so has medical expenses period (e.g., the epi-pen bullshit). The ACA expanded Medicaid for low income folks, got rid of pre-existing conditions, etc... Healthcare is going to go up when people actually use it (which the law affords every opportunity to do so). I don't see this is a negative to his legacy, just my personal pcoket book and I am willing to take that hit.
3. Israel - Increased financing - I don't agree wit it.
4. In terms of his Africa funding - look it up. He has been up and down with his commitment to Africa. I also think he could have and should have done more. But he did unveil the Power Africa initiative that committed billions to clean energy, broader energy grids, etc.. There's slow progress on that front but I can say how much that's his fault and not the governments taking hella long to enact and pass legislation on their end.
5. Federal Indictments - That's a little disingenuous. He can call for investigation but he can't direct actual indictments bruh. That's on the lawyers, the courts and the law. What he could do and he did is investigate police departments, commission statistics regarding disproportionate drug arrests, etc.. Y'all want outcomes but don't know where the President's power ends.
6. No blacks on the Supreme Court. Can front there bruh. He could have chosen a brotha or sista before the two he chose but this last one was purely political. He called the Republicans bluff but they weren't letting anyone in.
7. I do give a shit about Climate Change. So does the President: https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-record/climate. However, as you can see from this article, he tried to something on Fracking and the majority of Fracking occurs on state and local lands - outside of his jurisdiction. He did allow off shore fracking though...so I think he can be blamed for that no doubt.

8. Early childhood education - The president made this one of the hallmarks of his administration (universal early childhood education, on top of expanding pell grants, going after for-profit colleges, reducing the burden on income-based repayment. Now he should have given more to black colleges no doubt. Should he have done more for this program (Preschool for All - he did give a billion of new investment, but whether it works is an entirely different beast).
This is why I say it's weird that our own people don't give a black president any benefit of the doubt. My argument isn't that he is beyond reproach, it's that we have arguments that are often uninformed or simply some shit we heard on a YouTube rant from some self-appointed "Real Black man." Maybe he needs to do a better job selling himself to our community but damn....mentioning early childhood education when he has been pushing this from the start. I think he has had an up and down legacy. But he was exactly what the Country needed and helped steer the country out of a recession.

And HAMP is another story. I see how it can be criticized but how does it make him a Cac puppet?
First Lady Michelle Obama and LeBron James promote education after high school
AKRON, Ohio - First Lady Michelle Obama and LeBron James brought their mutual admiration society to the University of Akron on Wednesday as the first lady promoted a campaign to encourage more young people to seek post-secondary education.
More than 2,400 youths and adults, many wearing T-shirts and sweatshirts that said "We are Family," were entertained by bands, giveaways, cheerleaders and Zippy, the UA mascot, as they waited more than two hours for James and Obama to appear at the James A. Rhodes Arena.
In her 15-minute appearance, the first lady told the youths how much she and President Barack Obama admired James.
so
"LeBron has invested so much in you guys because he knows you are worth it," she said, addressing the youths involved in LeBron James Family Foundation programs.
"It's on you," she said. "You got college paid for. The question is are you going to do the work to get there?"
The shouts of "Yes!" rattled the rafters.
The first lady was referring to a partnership between the foundation, the university, and JPMorgan Chase in which any child under James' mentorship who graduates from Akron Public Schools and meets yet-to-be-determined criteria for testing, attendance, and community-service will receive tuition and fees to attend the University of Akron.
That program, and others to encourage youths to succeed in school, led the White House to ask the foundation if it would host the first event for the first lady's new program, Better Make Room, which she announced on Monday.
Better Make Room expands the first lady's Reach Higher initiative to inspire every student to complete their education past high school. The new program is aimed at youths age 14 to 19.
Celebrities, websites and media popular with that age group will promote the message, the White House said.
"When we were doing our research, LeBron was identified as a revered person for that generation," Eric Waldo, the executive director of Reach Higher, said Wednesday. Waldo, who is from Cleveland Heights, said James and the First Lady have met in the past.
At Wednesday's appearance, the first lady invited the youths to go on the Better Make Room website, bettermakeroom.org, and tell their stories. She said stories may be featured on the site and youths may be invited to the White House.
"How about all these kids at the White House?" she asked, turning to James. Cheers erupted from the crowd.
It wasn't an invitation, but with the involvement of James, you never know what may happen, Waldo later said.
I love that dude.
Re-investing in the future generations

I don't see anything for blacks specifically. All I see are the terms people of color, women and minorities. Another trick you dumb bitches always fall for to get scraps. How is it for blacks when women and other minorities are getting the most out of it and dumb niggaz like you haven't gotten shit.
Even in the ace
I guess those people at Black Enterprise who actually researched the matter (unlike you) are dumb ass niggaz too?? You act as though ignorance and negativity are virtues. Stop embarrassing your limited self and just stfu.
