You a fool if you are voting for Romney, He does not care about black people at all and would cut all the governmemt services that support the black American poor and would tax the black american middle class to death.

Dr. Boyce Watkins, I was led to this site by clicking on a link provided by the lowest of the lowlife White bigots (foofighter24). I hate to tell you, but nobody but you cares that Obama didn’t come to your defense when you “defended” his wife’s honor and got your “”Nigger Wake Up Call”…least of all the White bigots who have used your CONSTANT attacks on Obama as fuel for their fire.

You should be ashamed of yourself calling yourself “The Scholar for Black America….”

The bigots of the site I was on would like to debate you on that…they want to claim you for their very own.

Great Article!

I’m a Black person that voted for Obama in 2008 but I will not be voting for him in 2012 because I have been paying attention to what has been going on with him politically.I plan on sitting out this election as are many Black people that I know.I see how Obama uses Blacks and then discard Blacks for other groups which is why I have discarded Obama.

Black unemployment is over 14% and yet Blacks are told “how much worse it will be for Blacks if a Republican is elected” but Black unemployment has been worse for Blacks under Obama than any other president since records have been kept on the matter…

Very well said, Dr. Watkins. Though I am by no means enthused about the idea of a Romney presidency, it WOULD accomplish the swat in the behind many of us seem to need to get moving on our issues instead of waiting another four years for the Democrats in power to pay attention. Why would they pay attention when they will have already gotten what they needed from us?

So many thoughtful brothas and sistas I have been talking with are struggling with this same issue… sooner or later, the Democrats are going to be facing mass defection if they don’t do better. And indeed, they will have no one to blame but themselves.
