revolution” that Obama was supposed to have started.
b/c of their being black...like Philly's New Panther Party in the '08 rej-Elections...

An increasing number of blacks appear to finally be getting angry with Obama. It’s just too bad it took four years and voting for Obama a second time for blacks to realize the president doesn’t care about their interests. Immigration and the president’s determination to get legislation passed granting amnesty to an estimated 11-20 million illegal aliens seems to be the straw that broke black liberals’ backs.
Recently some Black Americans have been calling into black talk radio shows like “Keeping it Real with Al Sharpton, complaining immigration is not an important issue to them. This is despite Al Sharpton’s plea to a caller that amnesty isn’t just a Latino issue. But according to a 2009 Migration Institute report, blacks only accounted for 9% of US immigrants.
With black unemployment at 13.8% almost twice the national rate of 7.9%, granting amnesty to more than 11 million illegal immigrant threatens to make jobs even more scare for blacks. As black radio host Earl Ingram noted his “listenership is anti-immigration” because they are angry illegals are here taking jobs from them because they are willing to work for less than minimum wage. A Pew Hispanic poll found during the height of the economic downturn 2009-2011 Hispanic employment grew by 6.5% while black employment grew by a minuscule 1%.
After giving Obama over 95% of their vote twice, blacks want to know when the first black president will focus on issues impacting blacks like: rising poverty, unemployment and incarceration rates, growing education gap and economic decline the breakdown of the black family?
When I tweeted about this lack of love blacks are feeling for their blind support of Obama a second time around, a black person replied: “Obama has always made it clear that he is the POTUS not the President of Black America.”
Indeed Obama is “president of all Americans” but Obama has made gay marriage a priority and less than 5% of the population is gay. He’s also made illegal immigration a priority because 71% of Hispanics voted for him but only make up 14% of the population. These two groups don’t look like the face of “All Americans.” But Obama won’t even give blacks a crumb. He has yet to name one black person to fill a cabinet position in his second term.
It may be too late for blacks to influence Obama because he doesn’t have an election hanging over his head. But blacks should take a hard look at the gang of “Blacktivists” like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and organizations like NAACP, Congressional Black Caucus purporting to fight for what’s good for blacks and ask them what have they done for blacks?
Blacks also need to question the Congressional Black Caucus about its agenda. In its press release outlining its plan for the 113th Congress, the CBC states “For more than four decades, the Congressional Black Caucus policy agenda has promoted and advocated for legislation that supports social and economic progress . . . for African Americans.”
If this is true, why is it blacks have been on an economic and family decline since 1971 when the caucus was formed? Today more black babies are born out of wedlock, 73%, than to married homes compared to 30% of white babies. And the above mentioned statistics show government policies pushed by the Democrat CBC haven’t helped improve the plight of the black man.
Why is immigration reform a key item in the CBC’s agenda? “Advancing legislation and policies that lead to comprehensive immigration reform” will do nothing to improve the economic situation for blacks. Allowing a flood of illegals into the country will only exacerbate the unemployment situation for blacks.
Blacks also need to demand their “black groups” and so called “black spokespersons” reject comparisons to criminals crossing into our country to the civil rights movement or slavery. Blacks were brought to America in 1619 against their will, treated like property, worked like animals and violated sexually. The least America could do in 1964 was to grant blacks equal rights to whites. Illegal immigrants chose to voluntarily break laws to enter, work and remain in the US illegally. America owes them an enforcement of our laws along with the employers who illegally employ them.
If black liberals are really angry at the lack of attention Obama is giving them, perhaps they should use this as a lesson. Instead of voting for candidates based on race or party, perhaps black Americans should try giving candidates a thorough vetting before going to the polls and hold politicians accountable to records in exchange for votes. Maybe then blacks would start getting something in return other than the status quo.
Sadly, a large proportion of Black families in the USA are a couple generations deep in victim-hood and government goodies. They are not going to give this up...ever!
What is that indignation up to now -- 2%???
Give me a break.
They voted for him in droves and would do it again and again.
Dear Blacks, you’re too late. Enjoy your hope & change.
Sure they’re fed up with him. And when he abolishes the constitution and makes himself the first President for Life of the U.S. they’ll be in the front rows cheering and clapping like trained seals.
Get your popcorn ready as the black community grows jealous of the new “Flavor of the Century Minority" group.
Don't get me wrong, for the average Black, Obama’s skin color still trumps all, but there will be some interesting stuff coming our way.
They might have, if the MSM had given them any information to use to vet him.
And - you're right, FWF. They'd vote for him for a third time given the chance, despite the constitutionality issues.
The blacks have been dumped by their beloved Democrats for a new, needier minority. Don’t take it personally black folks, it’s not you - it’s just that Latinos and immigration are a newer cause to exploit and to be honest, slavery just isn’t as effective as it used to be. Don’t be sad, think of the good times and remember, you’ll always have black history month.
I don’t think they did just in Maryland and like I said in my tagline: He needed the ignorant to reelect him, and he got them. Now we all have to pay the consequences.
They might be fed up with him, but they’ll vote for their
freebies no matter what.
BS they are!
“Report: Obama Golfing With Tiger Woods”
They simply aren’t gettign enough ‘freebies’ fast enough that he promissed them- that’s what htey are ‘upset’ about- They beleived his lies the first time, they beleived them the second time, and they will beleive him right til lthe end DESPITE his breakign every single promise he made- The left are off their collective rockers
A few have done so and even ten percent or so sticking an occasional foot over the border would help. Here's Allen West's interview with Tamon Pearson of HipHop Republican on ways to encourage young Blacks to leave the Democrat plantation.
Will there be a tidal wave? Of course not. Enough to make a difference in who gets elected next time? Maybe, and it won't hurt to try. Pearson's idea is to make conservative messages relevant to the Black audience without changing the substance of those messages.
“The author needs to cut Barry Dunham some slack!
Apparently, as President, he has freed the last American slave still alive! “
And that “slave” would be Cong. Sheila Jackson-Lee

Give me a break. Blacks in America need to free themselves from the plantation of liberalism—specifically, the Democrat party.
Star Parker was the brave black woman to put voice to this notion in modern times, and I agree with her.
LIBERTY doesn’t mean being dependent on government, and for all the bloviating of their gasbag spokespersons, the Democrat party is fully vested in that aspect of society. People of EVERY race ought to reject such dependence.
We’ve got some of it in the Republican party, to be sure: but the bulk of slavery to government is found in the party symbolized by the Jackass.
"Yes they would. Their hatred for whitey is to strong."
In voting for an blatant traitor, it would have to be.
Apparently, according to THIS guy, it doesn’t matter how whites OR blacks “vote”:
