Cause he knew we wouldn't hold him accountable. Just being able to say we had "1st Black President" was enough for the majority of Blacks.
The Black vote. Who gets it, why do they get it and what do black people really want.

Yeah
Unfortunately, my nigga Obeezy could have said anything and ran on any agenda....we (black folk) were gonna vote for him just to break that glass ceiling (which was dangerous cause he could have turned out to be a REAL uncle tom coon)
With that being said...
IMO Barack wasnt a bad president...in fact I believe he was a great president and history will remember him as one of th GOATS...and this notion that he did NOTHING for black folks is asinine...did a lot of shit quietly...and snuck some shit thru that helped us while the country was focused on gay marriage and the cacs was mad about the Affordable Health Care Act

I don't know BDP, I don't he did anything for black folks that could be felt.
He did less for black folks compared to other groups.
Obeezy will be good to read about in the history books, but he ain't do anything that help improve black folks lives as a whole. IMO
Black folks were begging the guy to just say something about something, but all we got was an Amazing Grace 1st stanza Lol
That Baltimore situation was just sad

Can agree, but not saying he did nothing, but he didn't deliver CHANGE. He ran on CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN, yet there hasn't been much implemented by him for that change. When you say Change, I expect tangible results, not just a few obscure things.

I feel you...
He left some stuff on the table IMO....but overall Obama really did pass stuff that helped black folks but the way it was done was "disguised" is the way I would put it....as we all know being black is met with hostility on all fronts...those hostilities manifest themselves in different ways...so
would you have rather him come out the gate and say "this for my niggas" (lmao you know what I mean) and that provision be DOA or have him be as "Wise as a snake and as harmless as a dove" and finesse them whitefolks into passing shit that helped us....yes while it would have been nice for him to be all
how far would that have gotten him b...dont think in idealism....be real...they would have killed that nigga on the white house steps
We as black folks IMO have lacked tact when it comes to getting our agendas and accomplishing goals....
yes...SOME things require brute force "lets bash they head in" strategy... but I feel like that this philosophy is our default and shouldnt be....

I just feel, if you go about wanting us to vote for you, then saying this is for black folks shouldn't be an issue. Hell, what's wrong with saying "This is for my niggas"
Trump gives no fuck about what he says, but Obama can't say this is for black folks and only black folks?
He had no issue saying LGBT or Asian/Hispanic
But that's the thing, wise as a snake, nothing was moved, black folks did worse in this nigga terms. Lol.
You publicly try and reprimand black folks though. Lol

Trump is a direct result of the change Obama presidency sought to bring about. Old white men and poor rural white folk put trump in office while we argued about Obama’s legacy and stayed home. Their focus was to show blacks and women their place.
He ran on a law and order platform. He will win again if black folks don’t agree on a candidate to support. All other minorities need to support the candidate we support. What they do to us they will eventually do to them.

What president ever improved an entire demographic's lives as a whole tho?

National Policy is almost NEVER immediate...depending on what it is it may take years to manifest...which calls back to putting more black folks in State and Local Government....those changes are a lot more immediate and "tangible"
but again bruh...
Trump is a RICH WHITE MAN in a country founded by RICH WHITE MEN and ran by RICH WHITE MEN
our blackness is met with hostility on all fronts...yes he SHOULD be able to say this for my niggas and it not be a problem...but again not being Idealistic but realistic....HOW FAR WOULD THAT HAVE GOTTEN US?
Like I said man...we wanna bash heads when that approach FOR US yields no results for us.
for me it simply comes down to
"Work smarter, not harder"

The income ratio for whites to blacks, Mexicans indicates differently

With whites being the majority the numbers will reflect that
but if you think most white folks out here living comfy I got oceanfront property in Oklahoma to sell you b
the issue with most Obama naysayers is the fact that they feel that b/c they did not personally benefit from policies that helped other African Americans, that he didnt do anything for black people
I NEVER hear a naysayer discuss how Obama was bombing other countries with his foreign policies, BUT, lets keep talking about what he didnt do for YOU specifically as a black person
so if something helps (pulling number out of my ass) 1M black folks, just because YOU didnt benefit directly from it doesnt lessen the impact it had for others

That's relative and nobody is arguing income inequality. But the role of the president has never elevated an entire race.

But the thing is, whites are not the majority in numbers.
Their numbers come from other groups who are now considered whites.
Income to ratio from whites compared to blacks, ownership, etc, trumps black folks. Asians are living better, other groups are living better than blacks ppl Lol.
I'll buy that oceanfront
The poor whites that folks think that are poor, have benefits that black folks would never get or receive
this my thing
to all the cory booker, kamala harris, obama naysayers (and im not saying some of the criticism isnt warranted)
what in 8 years, 8 YEARS can any of these people do to offset the ramifications of 400 years of slavery that are STILL being felt today

This has nothing to do with the president fam lol. By your logic nobody would be living better than white people since 99.9% of presidents have been white. But you just said asians are doing better than everybody. Which president improved asians lives?
