Mr. Jackson is absolutely correct! Remember, the old saying, “you’re judged by the company you keep”? We should take Mr. Jackson’s message seriously. He brings up important, and factual, points. What about the unemployment rate among Blacks, why is this figure so drastically different from other groups? There are no coincidences, only the illusion of coincidences. Come on now, we were hoping for for a change from the same ol, same ol. We’re still hoping and waiting…….

Mr. Jackson is right, and I think we should flip the script on the President, and say that our allegiance is also color blind. Think about it, economically the black community may have faired better under Bush than Obama. I know it’s hard to comprehend but statistically it might be true. In addition, if we don’t challenge the President on this issue, and other issues effecting Black America, we are setting a dangerous president when it comes to pressuring future President to do something about issues we are concerned about. When the next White President is asked what will he do relative to our plights, I’m afraid he will respond “I am going to do the same thing that President Obama did”

Wish more black people would wake up and contact the President about our high unemployment under Bush and Obama for ten years straight. It should be against the law!

Oh please do not turn this into a issue about race. First of all, whether you are hispanic, black, gay, white or even a woman, unemployment affects everyone so that’s b.s. And second, you have worked under 3 presidents whom you might have forgotten were all Republicans so how the hell would you know what Obama’s game plan is? Maybe you should switch over and try working for a Democrat? Come to the dark side if you dare. lmao. But p.s., stop hating on Obama!
