today, I was asked what has Pres. Obama ever done for the African-American Community

17. Not enough

I wish I had time to address each of those points, but many blacks feel that Obama hasn't done enough. Especially for black men. Heck, even millions of black women and families either lost their homes because Obama let the banks off the hook, or got insane mortgage modifications (50 years) so there homes will NEVER be paid off, and their families will ALWAYS be indebted to the banks.

Many black men are "blue collar " workers or unemployed and NONE of these policies targeted them. What good is subsidized healthcare to an unemployed black man in a State that DIDN'T expand medicaid? We should have gone for "Medicare for All" as Bernie and Kusinech suggested.

You're talking a few BILLION in gov't spending for 40+ million African American???

Mostly white State Land grants get billions of dollars each, yet 1.5 billon for ALL black HBCUs is an accomplishment??? That's literally $40 per black person for education that will STILL cost them $30,000+ !!! Obama has severely LOWERED our expectations of what black people are due.


Black men are always the first to be thrown under the bus by Democrats. The only time black men thrived in this country was when they were self reliant and actually PRODUCED goods and services instead of relying on corrupt Dems to distribute it. Black men always eat last at the Democratic table.

Tavis Smiley knew Obama the best and he had it right. I wish we would've listened. Obama did not deserve the black man's vote, nor does Hilary. Bernie MAYBE deserves it, but only if he can articulate how his policies will help black men and black families unlike that feminism stuff Hilary is selling.
