The link below shows that President Obama has created more jobs in 2010 than Bush did in 8 years, based on Bureau of Labor Statistics. So why are Black unemployment rates at depression level? Is it true that we are just plain lazy, unqualified, inefficient? Or are there other factors involved such as racism/white supremacy, or the "last hired/first fired" syndrome that prevents Obama from specifically addressing our chronic joblessness? Or is it as I said before, that we don't own any damn boats to benefit from the rising tide? Why is it that a John Kennedy can proudly wear his Irish ethnicity on his sleeve and a Obama carefully avoids being seen as pro-Black? We should all know the answers, don't we?
Obama has to be portrayed as being "presidential" or color neutral when it comes to Black people of whom he says he is one of, because he, as all politicians are, wants to get re-elected, and he knows that Black people are not going to desert him at the next presidential election! So he steers clear of doing anything that will 'color' him Black. Which explains why, perhaps, that he declined to issue an executive pardon for the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey ( see story below).
Is this what you expected when you voted for Obama and his "change" platform? Seems to me, we got this kind of treatment from all of the pale presidents!
