President Obama turns attention to minority males
The South Florida Times / The Associated Press ^ | March 6, 2014 | Mohamed Hamaludin

In one of the most significant steps of its kind taken by any Administration, President Barack Obama has unveiled a plan which he hopes will lift young minority men out of a persistent cycle of despair and hopelessness into productive lives.

Obama’s “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative will be in the hands of a top-level task force, which the president has appointed “to develop a coordinated federal effort to improve significantly the expected life outcomes for boys and young men of color,” he wrote in a memo outlining his plan.

The program will cover not only young African-American men but also Hispanics and Native Americans and the “My Brother’s Keeper Task Force” has been directed to report on its progress regularly over the next year....

Minimum Wages were originally designed and still work to keep the Black Man unemployed.

Okay my little men:

Can you say, “That’s racist?”

Can you say, “I didn’t get picked because I’m black?”

Can you say, “I didnt’ get in because I’m black?”

Can you say, “I didn’t get the job because I’m black?”

Okay! That’s great. It worked for me. It’ll work for you.

It would require a chnage in liberal philopshy to undo the damage it does on the black family.

What a load of BS, O’Reilly put the Zero on the spot and he had to do something. He despises all these ghetto kids because they have no education, and will never get one.

He’s probably telling these kids about the men he used to blow for blow in high school.

Sorry, but I think it’s “Obama turns his BACK on minority males.”

All of his projects are to help people make bad choices with no consequences.

If we parented the way he “helps people” we would give the keys to the car and a bottle of booze to our 16 year old son, and slap a $20 in his hand and tell him to buy condoms with it. “Have a good evening, son! Remember, your uncle is a crooked lawyer and can get you out of anything if you get into trouble. He’s got some great pictures of the district attorney coming out of a whorehouse, so have fun, kid!”

If you are talking about his Man Country and Chicago bathhouse days, they said he preferred older white males.

Hope he doesn’t want to help the black boys get “ahead” the way those men helped him.

I love the headline.
“_resident nobama turns his attention to minority males.”
Maybe he will finally come out of the closet. If the beard will let him.

I wish he’d resign.....and take his posse with him. It would do a lot for my hopelessness and despair.

In otherwords. Obama has just admitted that decades of democrat rule over the black citizen has utterly failed.
