Obama just announced a $200 million program for non whites only

[rightwinger]

The foundations supporting today’s call to action have already made extensive investments, including $150 million in current spending that they have already approved or awarded. Building on that, today these foundations are announcing that over the next five years they seek to invest at least $200 million, alongside additional investments from their peers in philanthropy and the business community

Looks like private sector investment in the program

I thought that was something conservatives advocated

They do except this goes against their main rule which is: if Obama does it, it must be wrong.

So even tho Obama is doing it just the way they approve of AND Obama is "doing something" for the blacks after years of Republicans wondering why is wasnt doing anything.

They do a 180 and now are against private funding AND doing anything for blacks.

Seems like any conservative should be cheering this program

Private investment in the community to resolve a social problem without "Big Gubmint"

If government or society is not supposed to be focused on race.. how come it is always about race??

If government or society is not supposed to be focused on race.. how come it is always about race??

Because our society is fucked up when it comes to race

Because our society is fucked up when it comes to race

So the government gets to play racial favorites in order to show that racial favoritism is wrong

Got it

Look at the huge problems within the black community and you will understand that something needs to be done. Our cities are war zones as they're killing each other...50% of all murders are committed by blacks and 90% of that is black on black.

Educational and a program to strengthen the family does make sense.

Yeah, clearly where a problem is involved, the best thing to do is throw money at it. We've been throwing money at poverty and every other social ill we have in this country and all we've to show for it is a mountain of ******* debt. Pull your head out of your arse, son.

No the best thing to do with a problem is look at it with our hands on our hips repeating the phrase "Would ya look at that"

Beats ending up trillions of dollars in debt and still looking at the same problem anyway, simpleton.

Yes they do

Its called helping people who need help. Much like Affirmative Action

Hypocrisy - the liberal default position. Thanks, RWer. That's a fine example right there.

Uh huh.. they do

You best not have one goddamn complaint about any unequal treatment by government based on any other subjective criteria

And government does not exist to give you help with personal issues, personal earning, etc

You just set the precedent for extra benefit to a group based on race.. so let's say Aleutian race people not get an extra vote... it helps their needs

Actually it doesnt. It makes a difference to the people involved. Just because you dont think so doesnt mean shit since its not about you and what you think.

Tit for tat laws.. instead of just realizing that what was wrong in the past is still wrong now, even if it is in the reverse direction

Idiot leftist progressives

That precedent was set long ago but since it went to whites it was all good

First you say Obama set a precedent with race and thats bad...now you're saying he's not setting a precedent and its still bad because....Because. You seem to abandon your points of outrage quick...I mean really quick then move onto still being mad but for an entirely different reason

Let me know when you nail down one solid reason you're mad...not the same bullshit excuses that you abandon when proven false

Something you progs just don't get

Too bad remember what you said about setting a precedent. Maybe if your Ancestors didnt have their hands out for free stuff you'd have a point. But they did...and you dont

Right. That's why we continue to have to throw additional money at the same problems over and over again. Because throwing money at them is working out so well, it needs to be done again, or a new initiative, etc...

Face it. These problems aren't, and can not be solve by throwing money at them. I realize you have a vested interest in it, but he facts remain unchanged.
