The Unemployment rate is up over 10% and African Americans are 6% higher than the national average. Does our government play a historic role in disenfranchising Blacks in America? Since Obama is an African American/Blackman should he be more informed and concerned with the specific needs of Black people in this country? I often ask people who say Blacks shouldn’t get special treatment, but how many slaves volunteered to come to America and build it for free?
Like the President, I have studied Malcolm X intensely and I grew up admiring him as a youth. I studied all of his speeches and read all of the books about him. I learned from Malcolm the difference between a reformer and a revolutionary. A reformer is a person trying to improve on current conditions and practices. A Revolutionary is concerned with complete change and wants to do away completely with the old way. We don’t need a President to reform a system that was setup to work against people of color. We need a revolutionary who will do things that revolutionize this country and the world in the way they see Black people all around the world.
According to Time magazine:
“Ever since 1953, there have been at least two Blacks out of work for every jobless White.”
I can’t stand when Black leaders in control think they have to save the world versus saving themselves first. I love Gandhi, Muhammad and all those leaders who helped their people to advance. I am just waiting on the moment when Black leaders and Black people look to save themselves first. If Dr. King would have put the effort into transforming Black into a single and separate productive society, we 
would be so much further as a people. Think about all the things we lost since integration. We owned our own hotels, schools, stores, etc. and Dr. King later realized his mistake and spoke openly about how he had lived long enough to see his dream become a nightmare. He started to speak on reparations when he talked about the check the government wrote Black people that came back with insufficient funds. The government killed Dr. King after he met with Elijah Muhammad and then made the speech on how he might not get to the mountain top with us.
The government of America has created welfare programs that supported women and children but not men. The family was split because the woman would not get assistance if the man lived in the house. The men making only enough to support one person saw this as a way the government was helping them at the time. I see Black men now going to jail for child support when the economy is at the worst it has ever been in the history of this country. I think if we make up the majority of the prison system and we are the lowest on the job scale, we should be the first to receive some form of assistance. I don’t think we should get a hand out but maybe get a few loans with no interest for 7 years to open up businesses in our own community. This should be an option. We should be given the opportunity to rebuild our communities since we know crack cocaine was put into the Black community by the government. The only people who prospered from the war on drugs started by Ronald Reagan a.k.a. the Devil, were the police department and the prison system.
I think since I am a Blackman/Original Man I can speak on how I would act if I were the President. I would relieve Africa of all it’s debt to the World Bank, the United States, France, Britain, Germany and China. I would offer free education to African Americans who were willing to go to work in Africa for three to five years on its reconstruction. I would release all non-violent criminals who were willing to go work in Africa for the remainder of their time. I would relieve all Black and Brown people of their debt to mortgage companies since we know the Bush administration targeted them for these illegal loan programs. I have not even gotten to Jim Crowe or slavery and you can see how we already deserve reparations.
Whenever the government is in trouble of crumbling they call on the Super Black Man. This has happened all through history and then when they don’t need us, to the back we go. I remember living in Chicago and Harold Washington was elected Mayor. The city was in its worst stages with race relations, jobs were scarce and Blacks were moving into the areas formerly occupied by racist Whites like Marquette Park. The city was on the verge of a revolution, Blacks were about to take over. The Brown community was spreading and uniting with the Black community. He did more for Latinos as a Mayor than any other Mayor before him. Whites were becoming the minority and then out of nowhere, they killed him. They said he had a heart attack at his office.
If you look at America, it is suffering economically, spiritually and is at it’s worst moment with race relations. They now go get President Obama, who a lot of people are calling a “Trojan horse” to save the country from Revolution. He is going to reform health care, win the war in Afghanistan and unite all the people. If you believe this then you are still, as my sister www.Sandrarose.com would say, drinking the kool-aid. He said that troops would be pulled out in his first year in office, not more going to war. He hasn’t built on any program to end the Zionism going on in Israel. He went to a Muslim country, broke bread and then came back to go to war with the Muslim world.
I am saying all of this to say we need to create our agenda and no matter who is in office, make them 
comply to our demands or take up arms as the constitution gives us the right to do and overthrow this shadow government. I strongly believe we should be putting a program together to specifically uplift the Black community economically. But as far as what the President will do, the Whitehouse spokesperson, Robert Gibbs said “The President will not create a program to just help African Americans, he is more interested in programs that will help the whole economy.” Until truth prevails my eyes will be watching.

Great Article
It is just possible that opposition to the President’s policies are based on principled political disagreements and not race.
I am only surprised that it took the left the better part of a year before they began to play the race game in earnest. The new left suffers from schizophrenia as it pertains to race. They claim to want to move past race in this country, but are reluctant to do so. Race provides them with a sense of security; they believe that through race they are able to keep their emotional and moral equilibrium. And because the left is emotionally tied to race it is a potent political weapon the use of which power seekers and power keepers will not soon relinquish.
Bob Black I think you are 100% incorrect. Myself and many other "African Americans" don't play the race card because to us doing wrong is doing wrong. The fact that white people do so much wrong towards people of color all over the world and we report on it doesn't meant it's reverse racism or playing a race card it's a fact. The facts I posted on African Americans being 6% higher than the national average is a fact. I would be giving a negative view point on this issue whether the president was Black or white. I would like to say for the record some of my best friends are white........

I travelled to America recently and had no idea how divided the country was on racial lines. And what surprised me even more was that so many Americans that I meet told me that it had come along way. Although segregation ended some 50 years ago, voluntary segregation is still very much a large part of modern day America.
Richard although there are parts of your article that are relevant and there are issues in the black communities that need to be addressed you are continuing to propagate the problem of segregation. Creating independent black communities is the same thing as creating independent white communities. If you look at any example of segregation though out the world and history (Israel / Palestine, South Africa, China / Mongolia, USA, etc) it has always provided a successful breeding ground for ignorance, intolerance and racism. The very things that the great civil rights leaders you write about where trying so desperately to dissemble. Even Malcolm X who for so long was
, by his own omission, blinded by his hate and mistrust of white people, came to realise after his travel to Mecca that to successfully defeat racism communities must integrate with each other.
Yes I sincerely hope Obama tries to pass a race-based bailout. then he'll be exposed as the racist he is and impeached. Good riddance to Chicago politics.
Is he the country's black President or his he the country's President? If he's just the black one then the rest of us need not pay attention to him, correct? And the threat of taking up arms is a call to a race war which is ignorant and wrong on so many levels but I guess the color of your skin gets you a pass for making such comments.
Then again, when you only have 12% of the population you might want to think twice about said positions.
Blacks were around way before whites.
Blacks invented slavery.
Blacks captured other blacks and sold them for a profit.
Blacks still capture and sell blacks in Africa.
White people are the only ones that stopped that and freed the slaves.
Is that why you are upset?
Wow, what a racist. No wonder this country is in such dark days. God help America.
There are so many factual errors in this screedI can't even track them.
If you're so willing to head back to Mother Africa...then you should go there and live in squalor like Obama's relatives. You certainly don't possess the requisite skills to create a productive society. You could not even build a hut to cover your sorry behind. Yet you write crap like this. Sit down and shut up, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Shabazz poor you...And what u mean whitey do wrong all round the world?Yes whitey give all u filth aide when they shouldn't..I say let nature run its course and stop feeding filthy savages on ur motherland ...btw from a blk bitch
And remember dumb ass you was just cheap labor nothing more nothing less
And plus would ur sorry ass even work bad enough company s have to drop their standards over a qualified whitey...And u r a nation of Islam nut i guessing Muhammad who had nothing to do with ur blk asses...Made up ur own cult like you did with Kwanzaa talk about loony...When is that spinning wheel coming?
You are right. The Black community was truly slowly progressing before desegregation. However, if you think MLK simply made a mistake you are dead wrong. MLK was trained and purchased by the same Marxist Jews and fellow travelers who pushed desegregation and the destruction of both the Black and White communities for their own gain in America. They simply killed him when he was of no more use to them, much like they did the academics who were the standard bearers of the Communist revolution in Russia. They are now known as Neoconservatives and Neoliberals, who are plunging the country into massive debt and ill planned wars to benefit the Jewish central bankers and their criminal enterprise state of Israel. It is all becoming a moot point though, because now they are introducing their final weapon into the mix with the deliberate addition of millions of the worst that Latin America has to offer. Then only the Jews will be left in the position of dominant power as they are now.

"how many slaves volunteered to come to America and build it for free?"
Sorry, I didn't realize America was made out of cotton.
Yeah cuz I needs me sum of that Obama money brah, know what I be sayin' playa.
Peeeeeace-Out cuz
Here is a fact most blacks don't want a J-O-B and would much rather live off the gubmint dole, so I seriously doubt many of those who are unemployed are even looking for work. Most blacks who do have jobs have terrible work ethics and for the most part are downright lazy.
I thank you all for your comments please feel free to visit me@www.TheRsvpReport.com
If one could cull out of the white population the equivalent number of citizens who were equal in terms of socioeconomic level and educational level and convicted criminal status, one would find that the unemployment rates would be identical.
