What's with this notion that Obama didn't do anything for black people?
- Thread starter playa-exodus
- Start date
The allocation of funds was massively increased under Obama
Enrollment skyrocket
Graduation rate improved as well
Small business owned by black people were up 400% in the wake of his policies
But none of that matters because Trayvon n Chicago
Shut up bitch.
This shit again........the short answer is his cons out weigh the pros.
It is like taking a balacing scale and putting a grain of rice on one and then a fucking elephant on the other.
Flint water crisis
Yall remember how he solved that........we to flint and took a drink
On national t.v
When something bad happens under obama watch yall blame the senetate and the congress and when a fucking lost puppy is found in iowa we say "oh that was obama that did that".
Fuck that bitch. Obama is black but my president is green.
I wish the blind Obama supporters on BGOL were smarter. But blind supporters never are. You're not helping your cause. The thread started great with his accomplishments but when someone has a legitimate rebuttal, your answer is to dismiss it.
Obama did good things for black people and I believe that he tried to do more but got blocked before he could even try.
But he also made some questionable decisions. Outside the US he was pro white imperialism just like the president before him.
And remember him signing that new bill to give the cops who murder black people more money? He didn't have to, but he just went along with the blue lives matter flow because it benefitted him..
Most of you who don't know him would be disappointed if you met him in real life. He is first and foremost a politician and every thing else comes second. He has good intentions but him winning goes above everything else.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-history-of-chicago-homicides-htmlstory.htmlcan you provide numbers & sources?
otherwise this is just
A Chicago Tribune report published in January found that the total number of homicides in the city from 2009-2016 generally decreased year-by-year during Obama’s first term, but spiked toward the end of his second term.
This whole damn thread should be moved to one of the hundreds that have already discussed this shit ad-nauseam...
maybe somebody is suffering from early onset and doesn't remember.

Please don't feed the coons.
Did you real all three sentences?
Once again. I am answering a different post about something that would SOLELY be a "black issue" not anything about Obama
1st question: Went to many different events around reparations for years. But I'm not a US Senator all I can do is try to ELECT someone who will fulfill this agenda which I have tried to do and will continue to do
2nd question: Ancient history, many different black folk organizations
3rd question. Hell to the no. Even if he could. But he is not alone. In fact there are practically none who would even broach the subject in any chamber in the USA. That's why it's called a struggle
I'm sure Obama could have pulled some strings and got George Zimmerman locked up. But he didn't. I'm sure he could have pulled some strings and got to the bottom of what really happen to Sandra Bland. But he didn't.
His main goal was to please the LGBT community which he did a great job at doing that.

“The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded a $100-million grant to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to fund drinking water infrastructure upgrades in Flint, funding that had been approved by Congress and former President Barack Obama late last year.”
Obama sent 100 million dollars to flint to upgrade their pipes. But the state government hasn’t spent it yet.
That's a bold face lie:
Veteran Congressman Still Pushing for Reparations in a Divided ...https://www.nbcnews.com/.../rep-john-conyers-still-pushing-reparations-divided-amer...
And more recently (last month):
Ocasio-Cortez: 'Explore reparations' - to 'gain traction' on social media - The American Mirror
As Democrats are poised to take over the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, one item on the agenda will be to “study” the need for reparations for descendants of slaves.
Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee plans to reintroduce a bill that would create a committee to look at financial compensation for blacks.
“It’s a commission to study the issue of what was the economic impact of the work of slaves and how does it translate in the 21st Century. And what we want to do is to build a narrative, a story of the facts and out of that be able to access how we repair some of the damage,” Jackson Lee recently told Nick Ballasy.
Watch:
“When you look at urban blight, when you look at schools in inner cities and rural communities that are not at the level of excellence that they should be, when you look at support for [historically black colleges and universities], all of that will be part of understanding that whole journey and that whole economic journey,” she added, according to JP Media.
“And it is interesting that these magnificent buildings were built by slaves, obviously with no compensation. That is not what we are asking for; this bill is to have a commission to hear from people all over the nation.”
She said her bill is “a beginning process and an educational process for the nation in a non-controversial manner, and not in a manner of pitting one group of people against another.”
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is backing the effort, saying “public servants” should “explore reparations” to “build an audience.”
Jackson Lee’s comments come just a few months after Maxine Waters told a group that she would help push reparations if Democrats retook the majority.
During an appearance in Selma, Alabama in March, Waters appeared alongside CNN commentator Angela Rye.
Waters took her time to — what else — attack President Trump, criticizing him for his alleged connections to Russia.

What "strings" could Obama pull to force grand juries and judges to indict these police officers?
This is what they did do:
The civil rights legacy of Eric Holder - Voxhttps://www.vox.com/.../Eric-Holder-resignation-Department-of-Justice-race-civil-righ...
Following the August 9 shooting of Michael Brown and the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, that followed, Obama's Justice Department announced an investigation of the entire Ferguson Police Department and unveiled initiatives to help local governments in St. Louis County confront their unequal treatment of minorities.
"The Department of Justice is working across the nation to ensure that the criminal justice system is fair, constitutional, and free of bias," Holder said in a statement. "Ferguson and St. Louis County are not the first places that we have become engaged to ensure fair and equitable policing and they will not be the last. The Department of Justice will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the Constitution has meaning for all communities."
HOLDER HAS OVERSEEN MORE THAN TWICE AS MANY CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATIONS ON POLICE DEPARTMENTS THAN HIS PREDECESSOR
Holder's involvement in Ferguson wasn't unique for the attorney general. Holder has overseen more than twice as many civil rights investigations on police departments than his predecessor did in a similar time period. He even took steps against New York City's stop-and-frisk policy, which gained national notoriety for its disproportionate effect on black and Latino residents.
Glad it's some brothers in here that know the real from the fake.

It’s ignorance man. People don’t want to fully research. They just get emotions and fly off the handle. Then get mad when you bring up facts to them. We’re still waiting for folks to bring up a list of things he could have done but didn’t.
Dudes making up bills.
All to fit a narrative.
Then you have the tin foil crew that every single thing in existence is a conspiracy.
Only thing Obama did for LGBT is give them the right to marry, and give them civil protections. Basically giving the same rights everyone else has. Let you tell it he gave all gay people 1 million bucks.
smh those be the worse ones.
The funniest shit. They think everything on Earth is a lie and part of the conspiracy.........except youtube. Youtube is the only place that is truthful and is to be believed whole heartedly.
He is a hypocrite then.
He is suppose to be a Christian man.
Homosexuality is a abomination according to the Bible.
So if Barack Obama claims he is a Christian and believe in the Bible.
What does that make him? If he says same sex couples should be able to get married?
dont u know he gave all gay people 1o million bucks a piece. free jobs , free bus rides, reparations, free cars, free healthcare, free food, free police protection that shouldve gone to only black folks, all becos he said people should be free to live their lives like in all civilized country, they made it seem like that was his main agenda and helping mexicans & nothing else
lol too easy. Even worse. HE requested it
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/fi...-million-police-body-cameras-training-n259161
President Barack Obama on Monday proposed new funding meant to help improve relations between police departments and minority communities, saying there is a “simmering distrust” between the two groups that extends well beyond the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri.
The White House has asked for $263 million in funding for police body cameras and training in the wake of the shooting death of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown.
The program, which would need congressional approval, would offer a total of $75 million over three years to match state funding for the cameras by 50 percent, helping to pay for more than 50,000 of the devices.
The announcement came as Obama held a series of meetings with law enforcement personnel, civil rights leaders and Cabinet officials to discuss possible reforms to ease mistrust towards police, particularly in minority communities.
"This is not a problem just of Ferguson, Missouri. This is a national problem," Obama said.
---------------------
Oh and here's another one. He signed to this one to protect poor innocent cops.

Like I said, blind supporters...
All these niggaz do is lie to themselves and pretend as if Obama did something for them when he didn’t.
Using this vague bullshit list which is just tha: bullshit. You just don’t wanna accept you voted for somebody who ignored and who was annoyed by your presence for 8 years. So, you lie to make it as if he really did something.
And you wonder why nobody takes you seriously and just uses you as a political pawn like what Kamala Harris is doing right now.

So, funding for body cameras and training counts as “more money for cops that kill black people”? C’mon son. Like the cops want to wear body cameras or to be forced to go through training to be less racist. Thats to hold them accountable.
And if an alert system is bothering you, I don’t know what to tell you. Just say you hate Obama, but these examples are extra weak.
What’s not vague is not a single person posted a list of things within his power that he didn’t do. Post a list or stfu. Multiple lists of things he did for the black community have been posted.
You are seriously retarded. My post was his response to black people getting shot was to give the cops more money and that's exactly what he did. You're saying exactly what I said. Just say you're too dumb to hold a conversation and be done with it.
In your logic, if your job has had things been stolen, installing cameras is giving employees a raise.
That money isn’t going to cop vacations. He sent money that can only be used for body cams and anti-bias training so we know what cops are doing.
So you tell me, do you think cops are happy to have everything they do recorded? If so, why the fuck do they turn off the cams to cover themselves.
Show me where any of that money is going to cops.
Dumbass show me examples of cops being happy about wearing bodycams.
By your logic, him sending 100 million dollars to upgrade flint’s water system is him giving money for poisoning citizens.
And now, mr genius. Tell us what role does the President have in disciplining local police officers. I’ll wait.
And who's responsibility is it that state uses that money appropriately?https://www.epa.gov/dwcapacity/water-infrastructure-improvements-nation-act-wiin-act-grant-programs

That grant was never intended for flint thats why. Obama played you yet again.
This yallz boy
It’s the state’s responsibility. Do you know anything about the government? Seperation of powers? Federal vs state and local?
If any president told a state how to spend
money, they would tell him to fuck right off. All he could do would be to withold future funds.
And Obama isn’t president now lol.
This is like discussing politics with a 10 year old.
WELL HOW COME OBAMA DIDNT PUT ON THE IRON MAN SUIT AND FIX THE PIPES AND WORK WITH SPIDERMAN????
