In 1995 Obama stated: "These are mean, cruel times, exemplified by a 'lock 'em up, take no prisoners' mentality that dominates the Republican-led Congress" and "that white Americans couldn't care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing."

"This doesn't suggest that the need to look inward emphasized by the march isn't important, and that these African-American tribal affinities aren't legitimate. These are mean, cruel times, exemplified by a 'lock 'em up, take no prisoners' mentality that dominates the Republican-led Congress. Historically, African-Americans have turned inward and towards black nationalism whenever they have a sense, as we do now, that the mainstream has rebuffed us, and that white Americans couldn't care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing."
"But cursing out white folks is not going to get the job done. Anti-Semitic and anti-Asian statements are not going to lift us up. We've got some hard nuts-and-bolts organizing and planning to do. We've got communities to build."

I think he meant to say black americans like him could care less.
Not smart of B. Hussein Obama.
I did not feel that way in 1995, but I sure as hell do now. Thanks to people like Obama.
What are the specific problems facing white Americans and how should they band together to solve them?
At first embarrassed by his race and African name, he soon bonded with the few other African-American students. He quickly learned that integration was a one-way street, with blacks expected to assimilate into a white world that never gave ground. He participated in bitter bull sessions with his buddies on the theme of “how white folks will do you.” Obama, who had to reconcile these sentiments with the loving support he had at home from his white mother and grandparents, dismissed much of his buddies’ analysis as “the same sloppy thinking” used by racist whites, but he found the racism of whites to be particularly stubborn and obnoxious.
It's both and neither all at the same time.
I found this quote particularly interesting:
“We have no shortage of moral fervor,” said Obama. “We have some wonderful preachers in town—preachers who continue to inspire me—preachers who are magnificent at articulating a vision of the world as it should be. In every church on Sunday in the African-American community we have this moral fervor; we have energy to burn.
“But as soon as church lets out, the energy dissipates. We must find ways to channel all this energy into community building. The biggest failure of the civil rights movement was in failing to translate this energy, this moral fervor, into creating lasting institutions and organizational structures.”
Does Pastor Wright present what “should be”?
Yep, after decades of preferential treatment and being given every opportunity to succeed, the Black community is still screaming discrimination and blaming every social ill that has befallen them on White America. Obabarama was/is right. I couldn’t care less at this point.
Wow. Where to start.
First, I think Barry is right to a certain extent. There, undeniably, are whites who don't care what blacks are facing are going through. By and large those whites are Liberals but they are whites nonetheless.
Taking the importance of a father out of the home and replacing it with Government was an idea put into practice almost by entirely by white politicians. Signed into law by the highest white person in the land at the time, Lyndon B. Johnson.
They even gave it a messianic title: The Great Society.
Like the article, I could go on and on and on.
And on.
And on.
But what good would that do? Barry Obama doesn't give a flying fig about what blacks are facing either. He's willing to perpetuate the misery for his own personal political gain.
Just like Whitey.
He can't do it on the minority vote alone.
So Obama’s white half didn’t care about the problems of his black half?
Wrong
“mainstream has rebuffed us”
Yeah, it “us (obamites) v. them (whiteyhood)”
“We’ve got some hard nuts-and-bolts organizing and planning to do. We’ve got communities to build.”
And God help us if we vote into the presidency a man with this concept of how success and prosperity is achieved.
I have been saying for months that Obama and his wife are angry, belligerent, anti-white racists. Obama is adept at veiling his racism, but his wife, (who is not proud of America), and his spiritual leader, "pastor" Wright, (probably the most aggressive racist there is, are frightening examples of how Obama sees himself. You don't marry a belligerent biggot and take a hateful racist who cannot stop assailing whites and Jews for your pastor and spiritual leader unless they pretty much reflect your own ideology.
The "change" Obama talks about is the government backed elevation of blacks into various positions and places of power that they are not qualified to handle, and the repression of "whitey". "Whitey" will carry on their backs the weight of the lazy, as welfare and other government aid programs rise exponentially under a President Obama. If Affirmative Action seems like reverse discrimination to you now, if Obama gets elected President just wait and see what he'll pull out of his black bag of racism. He'll probably make Pastor Wright Ambassador to the Middle East, where he and the sheiks will sit down together and plan how to destroy America.
‘lock ‘em up, take no prisoners’
I'm curious, what exactly are blacks "facing" in America today?
