In 2008 - Barack Obama cast himself as a centrist on the issue of race, decried the casual prejudice of an earlier generation, denounced the bigoted aspects of American history, and expressed hope that the future of race relations in the United States would be bright under his leadership.
So almost eight years later, I've been seeking his top three achievements in this area, specifically his accomplishments to assist, advance or otherwise benefit black Americans.
Just three!
Each time I post this request in a different forum, it goes ignored/unanswered.
Hopefully an Obama supporter will chime in here and educate everyone as to what these achievements are.
Thanks!
Well, maybe you haven't received a response, because Mr. Obama hasn't done anything, period. Not only has he not accomplished anything where race, racism, prejudice, and injustice are concerned, but he hasn't accomplished anything positive for this nation, nor for her citizens.
FAILURES :
(1) Government corruption ( hasn't been addressed )
(2) The injustices in our judicial system ( hasn't been addressed )
(3) Illegal immigration ( don't make me laugh )
(4) Poverty and homelessness ( the numbers speak for themselves )
(5) Unfair and unequal taxation ( speaks for itself )
(6) The right to privacy ( National Security Agency --- a complete joke )
(7) The largest prison population in the world ( innocent citizens behind bars )
(8) Out unfair, unjust, and one-sided foreign trade agreements and policies ( Jobs going to cheap foreign labor markets )
(9) The off-shore out-sourcing of our jobs ( again, flowing to cheap foreign labor markets )
(10) The importing of labor ( cheap foreign workers )
(11) Our rundown infrastructure ( no money to repair and upgrade )
(12) The lack of an adequate number of self-supporting jobs for our growing work force
(13) Wasteful spending ( subsidies, foreign aid, excessive military spending )
(14) Our astronomical and rising national debt ( Nearing $20 Trillion )
(15) The Lobbyists' control of the U.S. Congress ( legislation and policy are commodities bought and sold )
(16) Medicare and Medicaid fraud and corruption ( $Millions )
(17) Out-of-control law enforcement agencies ( murder, rape, drug dealing, theft, brutality )
(18) Unfair and unjust eminent domain laws ( they take what they want, when they want it )
(19) Senseless deadly costly wars ( continuing as we speak )
(20) Campaign finance reform ( please, don't make me laugh )
