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.
They are all intertwined with the last one causing the other five.
No worries.. Blacks are aborting THEMSELVES to demographic obscurity..
but HALF-Blacks are increasing.. soon most blacks will be half-black.. OR LESS..
Of course they will call themselves black.. when they merely have a partially black relative..
Being black is more of a cultural thing its not racial..
And ANYBODY thats been paying attention KNOWS black culture really really SUCKS..
There is little about black culture that is beneficial to society..
except that which mimics or copies white Urpean cultural matrices..
Very few blacks know that or even want to know that.. so they don’t..
EVEN SO; american black culture is better than any Islamic culture.. although flawed..
Islamic culture is Toxic.. black culture is merely poisonous..
Just as white guilt makes people overly liberal, so does black guilt...ie they don’t want to be too far from supporting their ‘own’. Screw guilt. We are no where near slavery or oppression...those times are gone and people ought to think for themselves and not be scared.
I may disagree with folks here from time to time...doesn’t make me scared to voice my opinion. And so should be the same thing for democrats. I think moderate democrats aren’t bad people, but it’s the kind that hate us: our religion, our skin color and our culture...they’re the corner stone of self-hatred and are lost in guilt.
No independent mind can hate things that have inherently good benefits to them.
So, how do these Black callers feel about sky-high fuel and energy prices to save the polar ice caps? Is that a big deal to them? Goodness knows moral issues aren’t.
So true
Yawn...
What Homeys really pissed off about is that ObamaLoveDaddy hasn’t given each and everyone of them a cell phone,a 62 inch Plasma Screen tv and a monthly ‘’reparations’’ check. If “Love DaddyObama was doing that, everything would be a groove.
Of this, there is no question.
I know a black guy who didn’t vote for obama in 2008. He said “obama ain’t as black as me.” And that’s the truth in a nutshell. obama doesn’t think of himself as a black American. He knows he is a true African American from Kenya and cannot relate to this countrie’s blacks. He wouldn’t be caught dead hanging out with them.
You are exactly right.
Crystal light.
What’s Crystal smoking? Conservative blacks may be fed up with Obama, but that’s as far as it will go. I think even a majority of them would vote for him a 3rd time if possible in the privacy of the voting booth. The pull of racial identity is far too strong for the majority of blacks. They continue to believe that someone of like melatonin is of like mind.
not a heart beat ... just a fraction of a nano-second ...
I’ve seen that video before and yes, it is damning. Some say that in spite of the obvious massive fraud in the 2012 election Obama would have won anyway, even without fraud. I have severe doubts about that myself but I think anyone who has one eye open has to admit that Col. West had his seat in the house stolen and Al. Franken did not win a seat in the senate legitimately. I believe that if the results of vote rigging over the past forty years could be wiped out this country and in fact the whole world would be a vastly different place and while there is no way to prove or disprove this I think it would most likely be a far BETTER world.
