Most African American youths believe President Barack Obama is a "deadbeat" leader, says Paul McKinley, a member of Voices of the Ex-Offender, a grassroots group of former inmates.
"Every time they question the president about the black community, he's apologetic or embarrassed. Half of the time, I would say 97 percent of the time, he doesn't even want to say the black community exists," McKinley said Wednesday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
"A lot of the young people are seeing this double standard that the president has."
McKinley says black Americans have identified with the Democratic Party since the mid-1960s when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act.
"All the way up to now, black folks have been voting for the Democratic Party," he said.

I doubt they will ever vote Republican but if they get so disgusted with Democrats that they just sit at home on election day, this is good enough for me.
Louis Gossett, Jr was born here from Caribbean immigrant parents. So he can’t go on about his people being slaves here and getting into the reparations mindset many blacks have. Same mindset that they deserve X Y Z, are enritiled to them due the the history of white racism
Louis Gossett, Jr was a good actor
Have you seen this? Chicago black activists telling it as it is...
translation: If he was Down with the Struggle he’d be using the full resources of the Federal Government to be out here playing the Knockout Game with us.
Yes I seen that yesterday, and while viewing I could not help but wonder what these same people would be saying if republicans were to attempt to impeach obama, but I am always in every way skeptical these days, my optimism has suffered most severely of late, it is probably just me.
I saw that the other day.
Well, just two guys who have it figured out ain’t enough. Those two guys need to talk to their friends, (if they have any left after THESE statements) and they need to talk to their children.... etc.
I wonder what the total of federal $$$$ IS that was funneled through places like Detroit, and Chicago...
I wonder why there are STILL places that look like THAT in those cities, why there are STILL guys like these two who are obviously (rightly) dissatisfied.
More minorities need to look at their past decades of servile allegiance to the Liberals who have pandered to them and who have exploited them!
shared on my facebook page, thanks
It's not just you... it's happening to most Americans. It's why people say the country's on the wrong track. Many also feel that their children and grandchildren will have it tougher than they've had it. That kind of sadness spills over into every day life. You're not alone Polo - and things will get better. It's why we're all here at FreeRepublic and other places - trying to make things better. Working to allow happiness again... Glad you're on the team.
