Blacks in survey say race relations no better with Obama
 
Blacks in survey say race relations no better with Obama - CNN.com

Quote:

African-Americans really like President Obama, but more and more feel that race relations have not gotten better since he took office, a new national poll found.

During the 2008 election, 38 percent of blacks surveyed thought racial discrimination was a serious problem. In the new survey, 55 percent of blacks surveyed believed it was a serious problem, which is about the same level as it was in 2000.

Oh well, Obama doesn't improve anything. So much for Obama hopeful changes!

A dream is still a dream. After you wake up, nothing changes.

Is that anything like: "Meet the new guy. Same as the old guy (but with the press kissing his ass instead of trying to kick it)"????

Well, duh. Racial issues will change when dropout rates change, when education rates change. It's not about thinking a race is superior to another (except for a few), it's about expecting effort and performance to be equal and a (half) black president being elected doesn't change anything.

Hm-m-m.... sounds like having a father around to take care of the kids might be a good idea. Eh?


Thought of the day.

In the beginning, I was happy to see Obama elected because he was the first 'black' to be president. He would improve our black race. Well, time goes by and there is no improvement. It was what they called 'hope'.

It's called: James Carville and other election strategist gurus doing what they do. Frame a thought, keep repeating with endless anecdotal variations -- or simply re-cycle the ones that seem to resonate with a naive groupie-style crowd -- and VOILA!!! You won yourself an election, dude!!!

(Keeping election promises is purely optional, and mostly never fulfilled. In some cases, however, that is a big "Thank You!!! "I'm gonna close Gitmo the day I take office."[paraphrased] -- Barrack Hussein Obama)
