Those blacks that expected more government help, because a black man was elected were let down, and will continue to be as long as they look to the government for help irregardless of the skin color of it's president. Too bad so many cannot make that distiction, and probably still can't even with the copius amounts of empirical data they lived.'Black People Will Have Lost Ground in Every Single Economic Indicator' Under Obama

I respect Tavis, but I would ask him what percent are not "better off" and what the reasons may be. I would also ask if he better of or worse off. Most of the Black people I am related to are actually doing quite well, but that wouldn't matter if it was Bush or Obama or Romney. Our individual successes or failures doesn't depend on any President for the most part.
They have bought the victim lie perpetrated by the left. We conservatives realize that once you consider yourself a victim due to your skin color, your failure can be blamed on others.
That is some incidious, pernicious shit the Democrats have done on such a huge scale![]()
I agree regarding "those Blacks" , there are also "those Whites", and "those (fill in the blanks) who also expect more "government help" in one way or another, no matter what their party affiliation is.
What is this "victim lie" you are referring to? Just for your information, I am not trying to be adversarial, I'm just trying to discuss the issue further. That's why I asked the question.
Is a middle class or wealthy white suburbanite or city dweller automatically associated it with White people who live in bad conditions?
