95% of the black electorate voted for Obama. Let's look at what he and the Democrats have done for them. And btw....all data is from Nate Silver....hardly a right wing darling.
1. Blacks are 250% more likely to live in poverty than whites. This has accelerated under the Obama Presidency.
2. The average median household income for blacks is 40% less than whites. This is down 10% since the year 2000.
3. Median family income for all Americans has dropped every year since 1999. It is down 8.7% over that time frame. This loss of income has accelerated under Obama.
There are many more facts...but you get the idea. Obama and the Democrats have not only failed to help blacks (or the rest of us) but have made things far worse. So can anyone explain the almost blind support black Americans have for the Democrat Party? Anyone?
Here is a key quote.
Big racial gaps remain: The median income of an African-American household was $34,600 in 2013, more than 40 percent less than the median non-Hispanic white household. The race gap has been little changed in recent years. It peaked at about 45 percent in the 1980s and narrowed to 35 percent in 2000, but has since lost much of that ground. More than a quarter of blacks live below the official poverty line, compared to 10 percent of whites.

Nothing you cited would have been better if McCain or Romney had been elected.
Maybe....but Obama was supposed to be the great racial healer that would unite all Americans. Remember? Hope & Change.
I stupidly voted for him in 2008 hoping in part his election would improve race relations. Instead they have gotten much worse.
He has been an incredibly divisive figure. The opposite of what was promised.

If race relations have gotten worse it's only because the rightwing bigots in this country have been emboldened.
Hahaha is like "what systemic racism? The problem with blacks people are... Black people"
Why is it that Liberals feign to champion "content of character" while Conservatives are accused of only seeing "the color of skin".
Fuck that shit.

Fuck that shit.
Liberals are also all talk and little action. Conservations are far more charitable to the needy. Liberals don't walk their talk—conservatives do.
Sixteen months ago, Arthur C. Brooks, a professor at Syracuse University, published "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism." The surprise is that liberals are markedly less charitable than conservatives.

^^^strawman
My opinion. There is no strawman present.I believe race relations have gotten worse under Obama and I believe he has been a very divisive figure.
I know you disagree which is fine. It is USMB.
Who was in charge of both houses in 2008?3. Median family income for all Americans has dropped every year since 1999. It is down 8.7% over that time frame. This loss of income has accelerated under Obama.
Who knew that Obama had been president since 1999?
That "acceleration" started when your fellow Republicans almost destroyed the economy in 2008.
Racists blame Obama for everything, even all of the things that Bush and the Republicans did to this nation.

This data has been around for years, Aqua. You are absolutely correct. Conservatives.....particularly Christian Conservatives donate much more of their time and money to charity than Liberals.
I guess Liberals feel like the Government should do it...(i.e. spend anyone else's money but theirs.

What made you think voting for a black person would erase hundreds of years of fuck ed up race relations?
Either you have to be dumb or lying.
More blacks are living in poverty because our government made it easier to get and live on welfare.95% of the black electorate voted for Obama. Let's look at what he and the Democrats have done for them. And btw....all data is from Nate Silver....hardly a right wing darling.

Well to be fair democrats are pushing socialism and racism tools to get votes, no?Hahaha is like "what systemic racism? The problem with blacks people are... Black people"
The problem is not black people, it is people in general.
People that are politically biased make excuses for people that share their bias, so right, wrong or indifferent, they will agree, just because. Then the minimize the oppositions viewpoint by claiming racism, communism, socialism and other minimizing rhetoric, all while ignoring the facts.
Well if it wasn't for liberals, blacks would be educated and self supportive. Not uneducated, and dependent on government. All for a vote.Wait....so it's cool to show that blacks have been discrimination against for decades as long as you can blame OBama or Dems?
If I made this screams of racism and the race card would be flying from the usual bunch
Is that your justification? Some whites were racist back in the 60s so that justifies black racism forty-fifty years later, because now this is your chance to wear the racist boot?It sure is a bitch for white folk when the shoe is on the other foot...

I've also been in many businesses that involve tipping the person who assisted one in their goals, and liberals were the cheapest. Conservatives, the most generous. Always, this was true. Conservatives have more charity in their hearts and they don't need words or activists to bring attention to themselves for it.
^^^^ I speak generally. There are always exceptions, but rarely.
There are white racists alive in today's society....they never go away, it's a personal choice...Is that your justification?

Still better than the places I worked at where dinner was costly and the tips were low, why they put a mandatory gratuity in place...I've waited at Denny's and made more.Why is it that Liberals feign to champion "content of character" while Conservatives are accused of only seeing "the color of skin".

I've dealt with many businesses where tips are the majority of the income. Some people are just cheap when it comes to tipping. It crosses political boundaries, age, class, race, education...you name it. I paid for 7 years of college behind the bar and/or on the floor waiting tables. One the worst shifts on the floor was the Sunday morning after church rush. Families all pressed and dressed after church that will run you around like a crazy person and then leave a 10% tip. Sometimes they would just leave fake money with inspirational messages about the Lord on it instead of an actual tip.
