The Baltimore Sun ^ | June 19, 2015 | John Fritze

Baltimore County schools are featured in a documentary that will air this weekend about President Barack Obama's initiative to help young men of color..

The film, which will run Sunday on the Discovery Channel and the Oprah Winfrey Network, is focused on the president's My Brother's Keeper effort, which uses private money to target job training and educational programs at young men.

"I always see myself in them," Obama said in a portion of the documentary released Friday. "I do know what it means to come of age uncertain about your place and not clear about what it means to become a man."(continued)

I wonder if they might mention that Obama does nothing to help his actual brother.

He could have changed the whole direction of black America.

Stop having children at a young age and out of wedlock with no job. Stay in school and either learn a trade or go to college and take a real major.
Stop the drug crap and the gang crap and join America.
Let the past go. It is over. Take responsibility.

But he would never say these things. And another generation is lost.

He doesn't just side with them. He's their chief instigator. I remember when he was running for president the first time — some pundit on tv declared Obama as the great unifier. He was going to unite the races. Instead, he has done his utmost to fan the flames and sow the seeds of discontent.

I'm old enough to remember the bad old days of lynching, segregation and discrimination. This country was a heckuva lot better in terms of race relations before Obama came along. Now we have riots, police targeting, black on black and black on white crime. And Obama actively encourages these behaviors. He wants a civil war and nutjobs like this Root guy are his accomplices and scapegoats.

Which is exactly why I consciously resist being lured into racism.

Yeah....and create the economic growth that ensures those jobs are available to trade and university graduates.

He did change the whole direction of black America. He made them much more angry.

The Black Ace cards were being played and now they are on being discarded. Once “Amensty” goes into effect. Will those hyphenated Americans realize that they were the eggs to be broken ? As they’re forced out of their communities to live in “idealized communes” and any chance of finding work will still be slim or none.

If the GOPES (government over the people elite statists) had any sence they would have stood firm against it. Gone into those hypenated American districts supporting candidates opposed to it. And if not carry them supress that vote and win elections.

Instead they allowed the propaganda arm of the regime create the issues and run their campaigns and lose every time.

Obama's "initiative" is simply more of the same Saul Alinsky community organizing crap. It's designed to hire a bunch of local agitators, who at first will be funded by leftist donors, and then they're going to loudly demand more federal money when the program predictably doesn't meet its objectives. None of the money will actually go into helping the black underclass and will exacerbate the problems even more.

These leftist groups always have these big titles and acronyms and the pretty logos but they're nothing more than front groups designed to sow dissension and leech off the taxpayer.

Thank you, cripplecreek. The folks in Charleston have resisted the hatred of racism in such a powerful way that I am awed by their faith and strength. They serve as an example to our nation.
The instigators are there and they are provoking both sides to react in the way Satan would love but, the good Christians of Charleston have shown the way of our Lord and I am humbled by their actions.

>>young men of color<<

What a tortured and vague phrase! What color? My guess is that yellow, red, brown and white are excluded.

In a civil war, he would be target #1 for capture. Washington, DC is indefensible.
