WASHINGTON (AP) — On the night in 2008 when Barack Obama was elected the country's first black president, many black Americans wept. Eight years later, they weep again for the end of an era some thought they would never live to see — and for the uncertain future they face without him.
In Obama, many African-Americans felt they had a leader who celebrated their culture and confronted their concerns. In his wife, Michelle, they saw a national role model who epitomized style and grace with brown skin.

Black Americans weep for because of the Obama era and uncertain future
Yeah, 0bama did so much for black America; record inner-city poverty, violence, black abortions at record rates.
Oh, let's not forget 0bama's creation of Black Lives Matter.
Yeah, what a legacy.
You got hosed, Black America!
Cry me a river.
Cry me a river.
Sadly, far too many blacks, living in America, are now too damned stupid to see reality for what it is and just mouth the crap that the damned COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS tell/teachers tell them. Their salve ancestors were more intelligent and informed than they are.
This is not even amusing any more... if it ever was. Now it is just irritating.
Oh, give me a break!!! What are they thinking will happen, plantation slaves again?!
A people group that is so fragile that they'll whither at the slightest reproach without government protection is probably a group not worth existing.
Can you imagine the headline “White Americans weep for the Bush era and uncertain future” in 2009? Good grief their bigotry and racism is out in front of everyone and Americans yawn. Frightening.
Black Americans aren’t as stupid as AP thinks they are.
Uncertain? Shooting and getting shot...business as usual.
Ya, I really miss all inner city riots over the past two years!
It was so wonderful!
hmmm- black Americans ‘weeping’ because Trump might make inner city slums productive prosperous places for thsoe that reside there-
Liberals are weird
Black Americans are weeping because they know they were scammed and were screwed the last 8 years by a divisive President. It will be a cold day in hell before another black President is chosen.
I would not be surprised to hear many of them change their tune by the end of Trump’s first term and be dissing Obama — ‘he was only half-black.’
And let me ask you, are you better off , and is the country better off now, after 8 years of your hero ??
More and more of them, do not. Not after the last 8 years they’ve had.
It's not the race, it's the subculture. Not all members are in it. Many are able to climb out. Unfortunately, liberals are incapable of making that leap of logic.
Yeah, I noticed that during the last 8 years black unemployment fell to zero, the inner cities were cleaned up, all black children were receiving a first class education.
What? You mean that didn’t happen? Why not?
Saying Moochie “epitomized style and grace “ is an obscenity.
YAWN !!!!
There’s a cup for that that I got for Christmas that says “I LOVE THE TASTE OF LIBERAL TEARS!” I’ll break it out for my coffee tomorrow morning, Inauguration Day.!
