Can I Be Honest!

I think this whole discussion is disgraceful! I really do! Here, our race is in the worst shape economically than we have been in decades. There is a high likelihood that the national unemployment rate will increase to 8.3% next Friday, and here we have our professional people discussing who is best behaved around Mr. Obama. With 130 days to go before election day, why hasn’t anyone had the guts to confront this President with the one question every black would like to know. Mr. Obama, where is your job creation plan. Put one on the table!! People if you didn’t notice, we need jobs, jobs, jobs!! http://www.sslumpsum.com

I have to plead guilty to the premise and purpose of this article. I am extremely proud of my profession as a journalist and even more proud to be one of the few Black faces in the room most of the time. if I feel that way about a career imagine how proud I feel as a black American with one of my own occupying the White House. Donnell Suggs. Journalist. Guilty as charged.

I agree with much of this article regarding how some black journalist have not held President Obama to the real issues and matters on his policies. This is similar to how many black people in general have responded to him. Just look at Asians and Hispanics, when they seek an audience with the president they come well prepared with their agenda and present him with their concerns. They actually lobby the White House like any other groups and Mr. Obama will have to acknowledge their demands.

On the other hand too many black folks act as if they are just happy to be in the room with the president, and all he has to do is send his wife to speak to a crowd of black people and tell them she likes Beyonce and blacks are happy and satisfied with that.
