Obama Snubs Africa, Then African Americans

Many people believed that after Bush had left the White House, rampant arrogance combined with stunning hypocrisy had also gone. Events have proven otherwise. A recent speech delivered in Africa — and one later directed specifically at African Americans — carried with them all the baggage of the Bush years, to the extent that one could safely claim that absolutely nothing had changed. And although Obama is able to give a more compassionate and intelligent speech than was possible with Bush, the essence of their policies is identical. Both Africans and African Americans can expect no help from the U.S. government in addressing their serious and specific grievances, themselves the result of past and current U.S. government policy. Instead, both were given the same solution: if you want help, help yourselves, “no excuses.â€

is a Racist. He is also a Racial mix (like Spock). THEREFOR the people who get preference now are those of Mixed ethnic background. This is a driving force behind the forced ethnic mixing that the Govt and media are spewing in their effort to destroy whites and blacks...

"Its beautiful to be mixed and they will receive preferential treatment is their subliminal message"

For African American communities, giant government investment is needed in education, housing, health care, and public works so that living-wage jobs are created that allow an actual route out of poverty. This, combined with an increase in affirmative action programs, is a way to enact real change; much more than Obama’s encouraging words will provide.

We already have that, but it's going to illegal aliens, with Obama's blessing. It ALL needs to stop NOW!

I'd love to hear Obama say "Mexico's (and any other country's citizens squatting here illegally) future is up to Mexicans" and enforce immigration laws to make it so!
