Is Obama Failing African-Americans?

this thread is not about my opinions on government but about if obama is failing black americans. if you would like to debate or talk u2u me.

in no other country are black men as oppressed as they are in america.weather or not obama is failing blacks due to this oppression is another issue;this oppression started before obama was in office.if the voters for obama feel as though his platform was change and that change was the reason he was voted in, also because he was black, and that there would be different policies created in thought of his voters:then i cannot say if his term as presiding citizen over america is a failure or not, just yet. obama still has time to change america into the america his voters believed possible due to voting him in office.

Is he Failing us....? As a member of the African-american community? No... because hes not catering to any specific racial needs, hes catering to our country as a whole. Have white folks been asking themselves if all the presidents throughout history have failed at being white presidents? This is just another chapter in history man, black, white, whatever. he just has to start doing his job as promised.

Most of the DMV is still behind him, i'll tell you that much. (DMV = D.C, Maryland, V.A)

I am not black, but I can tell you this. I live near Atlanta, GA. This city IS a black majority city and MANY blacks turned out in record numbers to vote for Obama because he was black. They had no idea about his politcal views, affiliations, etc...and didn't care. They weren't shy about why he was getting their vote. Many, and I mean many, black people made statements such as:

"this is our time to shine"
"now the tables have been turned"
"what are they gonna do now that we're in charge"

No matter the case it was going to be like this for the first black running. It was just baggage that couldnt be avoided. Another turn in our national growth in having to indure this as we mature. It probably wont be as bad, who knows, when the first woman runs. We many have to endure 4 years just on the "you go girl" vote.

Having said that and having paid attention there where a good many blacks who, so to speak, had visions of whitey working in the fields whiel Obama sipped peach juice up on the porch of the really big house. But like I say we have to indure this as we grow. All sorts of folk are still in the stone age.

This is a really odd topic because Obama has dark skin from his African Kenyan father and a Jewish support network from his Jewish mother. So he is actually a Jewish man that has been groomed to shuck'n'jive for the Black people, which in itself is an odd occurrence since it was usually the Black entertainer shuck'n and jive'n for the White people. So we see that there is a ploy at work here. Obama is a dark skinned Jewish male that is marching to the orders of a group more powerful than him. That group is simply putting him up as the facade of the movement, hoping that he can sway the public opinion away from strong pro-American beliefs and closer to a condition of weak Socialist dependency. We are seeing the ultimate divide and conquer strategy being used against a group of American people. The strategy to divide Americans is what has prompted the video and this entire thread.
