Do you feel that President Obama cares about black people?

Things are actually worse for black people under President Obama. The unemployment is high in the black community. Black men and women are being killed or terrorized by cops practically every week and then a year later the local prosecutor, the judge, and the jury get together to acquit the cop of all charges. White collar blacks are hitting a glass ceiling at work. Black boys between the ages of 15-24 are committing suicide or killing each other because they feel like their lives have no purpose. All President Obama does is give black people a lecture while going of white talk shows and joking around with the white people. The United States has the largest incerarecation rate than any other nation in the world. There are more black people in prison than they were during slavery. 20,000 black men are locked up behind bars for non violent offenses. He lectured how black men need to be father to their children for Father's Day, but did not mention that most of the black men are behind bars for drug offenses. Blacks mostly smoke crack and get five to ten years in prison even if it is their first offense for 5grams to 10 grams of crack. A white person who mostly smoke powder cocaine will have to be caught with 500 grams of crack cocaine to get a 5 to 10 year sentence. The whole world sees how racist the United States is except whites in America. The United Nations even question the president about the treatment of black men and all the president said was that he sided with cops.

Update:

The only thing he seems for is the gay community and the Latino community.

    Do you thinks Presidents have the ability to directly control who is hired for a job or the behavior or local polices of police departments? None of what you say proves Obama doesn't care, and moreover, a lot of what you say was just as true ten years ago.

    And besides, we know that every time Obama attempts direct intervention in race relations, he is accused of being a racist because he supports African Americans TOO MUCH.

    the incarceration thing, was true two decades ago, it has since been debunked, as well as the first time passion crap the left loves to spout. Obama doesn't care, nor not care about the black population. Obama cares about his ideology. That dictates that we have a rich ruling class that makes the rules, then the majority of the population, poor and relying on the government to get by. Color doesn't enter into it.

    Blacks get attacked by racist cops - and it's horrifying, and disgusting. But you think Obama is laying back in a Vegas hot tub surrounded by strippers smoking on a blunt saying "awww, screw blacks - tell me more about the gays and Latinos." You think he's out there whispering in the judges' ears, "hang him, he's black." Please. He's not the best president, but he's not responsible for every crime that happens to a black person.

    He only cares about himself and his immediate family. Everyone else gets thrown under his bus.

    Is it somewhat true that if poor blacks worked a 40 hour week and paid taxes that they wouldn't need the Democratic party any longer?

    I think it is, somewhat true.

    :p all people can do is blame Obama, wonder if our next president has this much sht thrown on him.

    He wants blacks angry, and contentious. Useful tools, when he blame the opposition for the problems he's created.
