For much of Barack Obama’s presidency, he has sought to avoid being defined by his race or gender, often emphasizing that he is the leader of all Americans. On Thursday, Mr. Obama will use the power of his office to focus on helping young black men succeed.

Stymied by Congress on many of the economic policies he considers central to the lives of blacks, Mr. Obama is seeking to prod nonprofit foundations, business groups and civic leaders to provide more opportunities for a struggling part of the American family.

His new “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative is aimed at finding ways in which business and civic leaders can intervene at just the right moment to keep young black men and other men of color on a successful course.

...joining the [Clown] on Thursday will be business leaders, including Magic Johnson from Magic Johnson Enterprises, Glenn Hutchins of Silver Lake Partners, Adam Silver of the National Basketball Association and Thomas Tull of Legendary Entertainment. Gen. Colin Powell, Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago and former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York will also be there, officials said.

Colin Powell, eh? Huh. Imagine that.

Some clown from the NBA, eh? Isn't that something.

This is a tacit admission of Lopsided Black Violence against others. No doubt the media gloss over this.

The unemployment rate for young black men is over 50%, primarily because of the minimum wage. Obama wants to raise the minimum wage, which will make the situation even worse.

half the kids are scum from scum parents.

And Obama is a great role model...coke sucking, illegitimate, raised by a fag nanny, guided for 20 years by Reverend Wright, lies about everything...I'm trying to think of something good
