To me the author of this article has a twisted view on things. Foremost President Obama in my opinion experienced racism head on within the walls that have perpetuated racism and white supremacy since slavery. Would I have liked to see him do something for Blacks, I won’t dignify that with response; his hands were tied, if you believe different, in my opinion you’re going through life with blinders on. Moreover, discrimination in any form is not acceptable, as if Blacks don’t know what that’s about. RE: “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”, in my opinion your views I might say are ethnocentric, dangerous and irrespective of race, will help to perpetuate division among people as long as tolerance and common ground are not achieved where people differ. RE: the ACA I’m happy it exist, people are covered, it’s time for talking heads to fix it, not repeal it; such was the case with Social Security years ago, the naysayers were also unhappy then.
I support less government but at whose expense. I’m pessimistic in regard to Trump. It’s easy when Blacks who have supposedly made it, can support someone like Trump and his gang of thugs. When they take office and start gutting Obama’s achievements as well as Social programs, the suffering will deepen in the Black community and be felt for many more years to come. What are your plans to ease the suffering of poor Blacks? I don’t believe jobs are coming back to America; people have to train into Life Science or Hi-Tech positions. How do we prepare our Black children in communities for that? I don’t feel Charter Schools are a viable solution, they cut into funding for public schools, and not every Black child can get admitted to a Charter so their education is held hostage as a result.
