President Barack Obama already has the black vote on lock, so he has successfully steered clear of tackling issues that would improve our lot, such as the staggering unemployment among blacks. Even though most blacks and Latinos oppose gay rights, Obama has campaigned heavily to Hispanics and gays — while cementing his position that he is not a crusader for black people.
Last night, the official ‘black president’ — Bill Clinton gave a stirring, impactful speech for President Obama’s re-election at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC. Although Clinton didn’t explicitly say it, his message was clear: hang on in there folks; Obama has your back if he wins a second term.

Bill was looking alright last night.. let them know sir :obama:

Aaaannnndddd, I would believe that Obama ‘has my back’ more than Romney would if he were elected.
Can we get a new topic though?
what we need are more black senaters that can effectively advocate for blacks. more congressmen that have real power, and connections so that they can make calculated decisions in their respective districts. while the president is for all, the house, and senate members can have more specific agendas. hell we need more black lawyers, judges, and officials in local areas to really make a change. until that happens some black folks gone continue to get the scraps, unless they decide within themselves to make that important change FOR THEMSELVES.
Bill clinton was a good president,Getting :suck: and not inhaling
Sigh….the shade is unbelievable. Obama 2012.
The power is in the house and senate…Clinton is just telling it as it T I is
Have we discussed the murder of 16 (or 18 not sure of his correct age) year old rapper Lil’ Jo Jo being killed a couple days ago and kids (rival gang members) going on twitter and bragging and boasting about it? There was one guy involved, Chief Keef who is apparently a rapper and somehow connected to 50 Cent.

Perfect example of how you can slay the opposition with facts and knowledge without resorting to hate and lies!!! Republican party (and stupid people worldwide) take note!

just terrible
Yes they were talking bout it this morning
Chief Keef who is apparently a rapper and somehow connected to 50 Cent
I lost much respect for Chief Keef and his twitter post about that killing, not that I had any anyway

Joshua aka Jojo was 16 and Chief Keef people killed him. Chief Keef even laughed about it on twitter. I have family that stay in the same neighborhood where the incident occured and where Chief Keef hangs out at.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is that why Lupe said he was done with the game or did Chief Keef say something to him?
I will say this much. Chicago used to be the epitome of Black power but the 80s did em in…its very sad and heartbreaking
Chief Keef is a coon. I’m not gonna lie when Kanye remixed his joint I was like oooh dis my shyt but something told me to google the video. I did and I haven’t listened to that song since. He is an embarassment. Gosh he is.

I cant take another Morning Anuerysm
So Chief Keef is in a gang called BD and Jojo was in a gang called GD….Jojo made a diss song about Chief and the crew…Jojo and his crew even rode up on Lil Reese who is part of Chief Keef crew and started some mess…and the next thing you know, a 16 year old is dead.
I lost much respect for Chief Keef and his twitter post about that killing, not that I had any anyway
What did he say?
Bill was not the 1st black president.. black folks love to claim someone who wasn’t claiming them without even realizing they’re insulting themselves in the process
Fact: Bill was deemed too “cool” to be anything other than black, from his walk, his way with women (thus culminating in his ultimate humiliation – Lewinski), to playing the sax on Arsenio… Black men and women are more than a bad ass walk, womanizers and musicians
Fact: Bill did a lot for the people of this nation as a whole HOWEVER unless you want to claim that all black folks were poor, on welfare, or needed a boost to make it to the middle class you can’t say that his policies only or directly affected “US” because what he did affected everyone no matter what political pundits like to call out
Stop referring to this man as the 1st black President whether in fun, jest or with pride because it’s an insult and we have our 1st Black President
Before hearing about the murder though, I had never heard of Chief Keef.

I’ve heard of dude but his music ain’t my music so I never bothered to learn more about him outside of a few remarks he made that were posted on some site about the remix Ye did and how he wasn’t really flattered or some ish. The youth of this country, and in particular the black youth in this country, are on an unfortunate downslide that’s gonna end in horrible ways if somebody (a lot of somebodies) doesn’t get a handle on it.
Parents, mothers AND fathers, get a hold of your children. Pray with them, for them and around them. Ask questions about where they’re going, who they’re with and what they’ll be doing. Know their friends parents. If possible let your house be the neighborhood house so at least you know where YOUR children are, who their friends are and exactly what they’re doing. Follow up. Stop trying to be friends and be parents. Hurt their little feelings if you have to. Ruin their plans if need be. Get in their faces if the circumstances call for it. Get off your asses and take a stand, stop waiting for the police and the schools and the government to stop this ish and do it yourselves before all our children are lost
(steps off soapbox)
I had never heard of Chief Keef Until last night. Now that 50 trying to be a business man with the YT, he home drop ole boy like a cast iron pan without a mitt on. It’s senseless. Chief was threatening Lupe. Ain’t nobody got time for that. We need more black mentors in these streets.

These kids don’t understand the magnitude of their works…killing someone is just the end all be all of their LIFE. A lost family member. Someone who cannot be replaced. Why do these people kill like its as simple as riding a bike?
Chief Keef looks like he has a mental disorder and that’s not being funny. He does so maybe he doesn’t grasp what he’s doing. All of his songs are just dark as hell

Sadly, I’m not joking. I think he has since deleted the tweets because someone told him the police could use it against him, but I’m sure if I saw it yesterday, the police did as well.

IHEART I loved when Seth Rogan tweeted that. The fact that a party can use a KKK slogan and no one says nothing about it is RIDICULOUS
@Trend: Why don’t they tear down those projects then if nothing is getting better?
@Brenbew
thank u baby 
Gigi I know that but there has to be someone in these kids lives willing to take a stand. At least one. I mean it’s the same in Detroit and LA and a million other places but if there’s at least one responsible parent or relative in these kids lives WE can make a difference even if the govt, schools and police can’t or won’t

I KNEW you was coming for me @Sandranetta
As one of my old editors used to say, “It’s in the dictionary, but that doesn’t mean you have to use it.”
The word impactful, which appears in Merriam-Webster’s unabridged dictionary and online as an entry from Webster’s New Millennium Dictionary of English, is not listed in Webster’s New World College Dictionary, Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, the American Heritage College Dictionary, the Encarta World English Dictionary, the New Oxford American Dictionary or the Oxford English Dictionary.
“Given the dubious status of the word impact as a verb, which several authorities recommend against, and the lack of citations for impactful in standard references, The Sun’s copy desk affirms yesterday’s curbside ruling of its chief that impactful may be used in direct quotes, if the writer insists on it, but not otherwise in the paper. This decision remains in effect until the word achieves a more secure purchase on the language, or the A.M.E./Copy Desk is overruled by Higher Authority.”
To me this is and will be one of the greatest presidents ever despite his impeachment.
Regardless Bill was able to state the facts. We can say Obama has not done anything for blacks but what can he really do when he did not have the support of Congree and he had a pile of steaming ish to clear up first. Check Clinton records he was not able to clean up the first Bush mess until the end of his 4 years and we did not see prosperity until his last 4. I say give the man a chance :obama:
Like that dude was 18 and the guns he was holding just had me like

I still *sideye* President Clinton for the way he carried on 4yrs ago on the campaign trail
The air in my sail has long been gone.
He did do his thing. Regardless of his shortcomings. He was only there for one reason and he accomplished that task very well!
Even though most blacks and Latinos oppose gay rights, Obama has campaigned heavily to Hispanics and gays
——-
The President has a stance on immigration and has acknowledged the growing Latino population in this country. I would think any person running for office would acknowledge this change to the population of this country. Not all Latinos are recent immigrants nor are all Latinos illegal. Also, Latino is not a race, but i’m not up to getting into that. As a Latina, I can tell you that we do not all look alike nor do we all think alike nor do we all vote for the same party nor are we all the same race. I’m a proud American and I voted for President Obama before and I will again even though he is far more conservative than I.
