Is society's high regard for negros waning?

[manifold]

Is it possible that the repeated failures of the Obama administration and the recent exploits of Kanye West and Serena Williams are reflecting so poorly on the negro community that it negatively impacts the negro image and their lofty stature in American society and culture?

Am I a race-bating douche for lumping Obama in with West and Williams?

Discuss.

So you're saying the regard for blacks isn't high enough to be negatively impacted? That it's so low that it can only go up from where it currently stands?

Wow. That's kinda racist don't you think?

High regard for blacks? Remind me again, what are all the positive things blacks have done for our society as a whole?

Nothing? That's right! Blacks have not done a damned thing for our society as a whole. The only thinge blacks do are race based for blacks, not for others, and especially not for whites.

Contributions of African Americans To American Society
Women of the Sisterhood

African Americans have had major contributions to our westernized society. African American women have had ingenious contributions that have improved American society. Maya Angelou is one prominent African American author/poet that is known world wide. Maya is not only known for her writing, but also for her struggle and triumph of what she has been through, as told in her dearly loved book "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings." Maya, whose real name is Margarite, was born in 1928 and raised in Stamps, Arkansas. As told in "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" Maya, like many other black kids during that time, was sent along with her brother to live with her grandmother in the south. Maya went to a segregated school in the south, and she also got some education in San Francisco. This education and instruction was paralleled by the people in her life her mother, who was an entertainer, her grandmother, and her mother's friends. Living. living in San Francisco Maya acquired the power and command of imagery and language. She had a voice and one significant thing that bought this voice out to the world is Angelou was raped as a little girl and she vowed not to ever say a word again. One person broke that long ending vow.

Maya's teacher urged Maya to read poetry. Maya became enchanted with the work of William Shakespeare, as well as many others. Soon Maya began to write her own poetry.

Maya wrote of her life and the many things she had seen through her years. Much had to do about discrimination and battles that African Americans have overcome through the years. Now because of Maya's thirst for more we women, we African American women, are a step further in the world. Maya also wrote about rights as blacks, and also rights as black women living in a cold world of a rainbow of colors. And this is said because the world is full people of different races and very different backgrounds. And this is where we get our cultural rainbow of colors that greatly enhance the world that we live in. Others besides writers like Angelou have influenced and changed this world. Actresses such as Dorothy Dandrige and Esther Role have proved to the entertainment industry that black women could achieve more in a movie besides being a maid, or a house-slave.

Actresses like these have paved the way for the new black faces of today to get a part and prove to every one that they can get the job done. credit should also be given to BET (Black Entertainment Television) for setting examples of industrious African American people doing something positive. Many women are now seen on the screen and this continues to happen on this channel.

The last Female influence can be seen as the most important contributors in this world, the black mother. Because no matter what she is there and instills the rights and wrongs to her child. Even though they may not turn out to be the best of kids, and are sometimes thought of as being wild and rowdy they have certain values that they have to live up to, for the love of their mothers. It is shown that the mother is the very backing for today's world as shown in a survey taken in North Hagerstown High, when asked who credit goes to for their lives the students asked said their mother. So one can clearly see the black women is a strong and influential one.

Contributions of African Americans To American Society
Women of the Sisterhood

Blacks created a "sisterhood" that caters to sistahs. So I am right. Your list of "black inventions" has been proved to be a myth many times over. I noticed you didn't provide a link for your source, so I will safely assume your list is from just another afrocentric site. Blacks may have developed some small things along the way, but nothing major I have ever seen in use. Mostly blacks did what they always try to do, they stole the work of someone else and tried to take the credit.

Blacks = monkey see, monkey do.
