Tavis Smiley says the President is ignoring blacks, the "most loyal" part of his base who "ought to be looked out for." Smiley spoke to NBC's Lester Holt. In April, Smiley said the 2012 elections will be "the most racist in the history of this Republic.
"It's just not that black folks are hurting the most now. It's that there's no sign that it's going to get any better. There really are two questions in black America, I think, Lester, have to wrestle with. At least two questions. Number one: what is the pain threshold in black America? What is our pain threshold, number one. And number two, what is the presidency really worth? Is it worth not saying anything? Is it worth being silent when you're catching the most hell, when you're suffering the most pain? Especially, when you're the most loyal part of the President's base," Smiley said.
"That's not hating on the President, it's defending your own flanks. And whatever happened to that notion that to the victor goes the spoils? If anybody ought to be looked out for, it ought to be the persons who represent the most significant and the most loyal part of the base. That would be African-Americans."

I know that Blacks are “Holder’s people.” But, who are Smiley’s people?” :0)
The unpresidential presidency just keeps the whining machine in full pitch banshee girl squeal.
Perhaps the reason black people are “hurting” Smiley is because of Barak Obama and his progressive predecessors. That’s a thought you just might consider having. Just sayin’.
The soft bigotry of low expectations.
Sorry, I have no idea of what he is talking about.
Moving on....
Problems = 43% of all crimes in the US.
Because tavis feels they are inferior.
This translates, more or less, to looting the treasury to benefit your friends. Right out of a South American banana republic, or a Mafia family. I do love the euphemism "looked out for."
It has always amazed me how these Poverty Pimps, to use Walter Williams phrase, continue to make money off white guilt while promoting programs that thounsands of years of human history have shown just don’t work.
Tavis is a throwback racist, as rotten as vulture vomit, as dumb as a rock and as crooked as a dog’s hind leg with doggy diahrrea running down it.
Well, he's only half black, I'm white like his other half, so where are my half of the spoils?
The condition of the Black community will improve only when they understand that they have to look out for themselves, not be looked out for.
It would be nice if Obama had at least concentrated on African Americans employment, at least one sector would be doing well, instead everyone is F#####d.
Tavis: “And whatever happened to that notion that to the victor goes the spoils?”
Poor Tavis is yet to realize Barry and Michele consumed all the spoils, for themselves.
There ain’t gonna be much left when they are done Tavis. So get your ass in the soup lines with the rest of us. And, before I forget, thank you and the rest of his base for giving us this marxist.
Only a delusional ignoramus loser would spout garbage like that.
Well, if the blacks want their spoiled president, they are more than welcome to him AFAIC.
