President Barack Obama (pictured) has been aggressively pushing an agenda that strengthens the core of the nation via education, job creation, and supporting middle class families. Now the administration will turn its aim to improve the lives of young men of color via an initiative titled “My Brother’s Keeper.”

Although the President has shied away from race matters in the past, there has been an undeniable shift in focus from the White House regarding the plight of young people of color who have been disproportionately slammed by poverty, lack of opportunity, and unfair prison sentences.

According to a Washington Post report, the President will officially announce the launch of this new plan this Thursday, and it comes at a critical point in his second term. President Obama has endured heavy criticism from Black leaders and other minority groups for not tailoring his policies toward their needs.

Isn’t his brother’s keeper considered a warden?

Is he going to call them the Ton-Ton Macoutes?

I wonder what the merit badges are going to be? Wilding? Knockout Game? Smash and Grab?

There is too much emnity toward whites in this country. Why do blacks celebrate themselves so much while harboring such anger.

How about something like “My son’s keeper” for a change?

“Young men of color’’? So then we can call them ‘’colored men’’?

-- Didn't O'Reilly challenge Obama to do something about young black men fathering children, but not staying around to raise and support their family during his Superbowl interview? --

That would have resulted in a "My son's keeper" program. Obama is all about "the brothers."

...“My son’s keeper”...

Seems right to me, after all, he's got golf to do.
