For at least the last year, the black community has teetered and tottered on the topic of whether President Obama has done enough for the black community during his first term. The majority of blacks approve of Obama’s performance, while some, such as Dr. Cornel West, believe that Obama has largely ignored poor people, a disproportionate number of which are black.
Then there is still a segment of the black electorate which has qualms with President Obama, but will vote for him because the alternative – Mitt Romney – is even more out of touch with the needs of the black voters than Obama.

Can Black United States ignite its own self?????
Too bad more “of us”didn’t vote in the last mid-term elections or these “(teajunkie/not hiding their disdain for the middle class racist clowns”wouldn’t have taken over more state legislatures in 2010.Cornel West is out of touch
with his feuding with Professor Harris & Rev. Sharpton.Does West remember Ol’Billy Clinton
threw many off public assistance & fired 5
00,000 federal govt. workers?Maybe if we Black Folks demanded our Black Clergy would do more
to create jobs/economic uplifting than buying caddies & benzes to show off things would be better.d**n the folks who were beaten & or killed
for the right to vote need to be remembered.
Why don’t folks protest at the Goldman Sachs & those
evil scum the Koch Bros. or Sen.Mitch McConnel’s office?

Odd how everyone is held accountable and to blame in your comment EXCEPT the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES that’s paid by our tax dollars. It’s time to open our eyes about politicians regardless of race. President Obama ignored black people plain and simple. This was done as a political decision to appeal to the “teajunkie/not hiding their disdain for the middle class racist clowns” and everyone else that might get racially offended if he showed the same concern about black American as he did for whites gays Hispanic’s etc. It’s a roll of the dice if President Obama does anything different in his second term. If not I wonder what excuses all the Obama cheerleaders are going to say then. True black people, church leaders etc should be held accountable for solutions to black peoples problems. But elected officials who are black should not be let off the hook because of their race or the racism they may face from whites.
