Tavis Smiley: In The Era of Obama Blacks Have Lost Ground In Every Major Economic Category

"Sadly, and it pains me to say this, over the last decade black folk, in the era of Obama have lost ground in every major economic category," Smiley said Friday in an interview with Huffington Post. "Not one, two or three [categories], but every major economic category, black americans have lost ground"

"We've been so caught up in the symbolism of the Obama presidency, we haven't pressed as hard as we should on the substance of this presidency," Smiley said. "Black people and black leaders have been too deferential to this president."

Remember that man...A man who tells the truth without an agenda.

I don't think blacks will be cramming the voting booths for the Democrats.

 

[Auld Phart]

If blacks wanted front of the line privileges, they should have elected Sharpton or Jackson, not Obama

That's why Obama gave money to those car companies INSTEAD of tax rebates to the PEOPLE. THANK YOU for ADMITTING his failure, please come again.

Yep.....Obama's tickle down economics has done a wonderful job for the "billionaire class", the wall street tycoons and millionaires. But the middle class and particularly poor blacks keep falling further and further behind.

Why does Obama hate the poor and blacks so much?

Its amazing how race relations have become worse since O has occupied the wh.

Oh, I don't think it's surprising at all. LOL

 

[Rozman]

But they would come out in huge numbers and vote for him again
if that were the case....

They will vote Democrat as long as there are elections.

 

[bendog]

I'm curious why RWers are somehow motivated to make racial comments by the fact that blacks fared about the same as working class whites in the post-recession.

Tavis, I get. He thinks Obama had some duty to help blacks more than everyone else. And, blacks do benefit more from ending the war on drugs, and would benefit the most from making it harder for criminals to buy guns. But Tavis wants to see blacks make more economic gains than whites. Somehow I don't think he's the posterchild for race relations.
