First of all, you have no idea how people voted. I voted for Obama for the Hope and Change that I thought was so desperately needed after Bush. Well, that was a loss because Mr. Obama has taken what was bad and made it worse. Plus, many people voted for Obama only because he was black so stop with the bullshit racist reasons of why you think people hate his policies. Obama has divided our country by sex, by race, by gender, by race, by religious beliefs, by RACE! The fact that there are plenty of black police, judges, politicians, doctors, lawyers, professors, etc shows the country has not tried to keep the black person down. You wanna keep talking about race? Fine! Not only that, but Obama DIVIDED this country by race. How he pulled the race card when that Micheal Brown thug got shot by a police officer when he tried to steal his gun. He slandered police officers saying they are being predatory against blacks. But yet I still see black thugs breaking the law and being shot because they still try to put up a fight with police officers. What about those riots? The BLM (which is a racist and domestic …show more content…
Obama had done nothing for the black communities in this country. I dare you, walk down the street in a high volume black area and see how safe you feel. It's disgusting that the number of black on black crimes is overlooked by the black population. Then they start putting their thug children on posters and say it's the fault of the police. Obama cries at his farewell speech, but walks out laughing to go golfing after an American was beheaded. He pulled the troops out of Iraq even though he was warned it would leave a huge hole for terrorists to assemble. He called ISIS the JV team, and won't even call them ISIS, he refers to them as ISIL so it's not associated with Syria. And you know why right? Because it's his fault that Syria is in such a mess and refugees are searching for shelter and
We are gathered here today to remember Andrew Jackson. President Jackson was among one of the best presidents we have ever seen. President Jackson was the first president to be relatable to the average person. As President Jackson once said, “The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer… form the great body of the people of the United States, the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.” This showed how much he supported in the common people who are truly the backbone of our country. Andrew Jackson was the first president elected by normal people, not just wealthy landowning men and through him we showed what kind of president the people of this country want, a mans
The 2016 Presidential Campaign candidate, Bernie Sanders, believes in creating a better America. In proving to the American people, rich and poor, how great the country can be if all people vote for who is trusted best as future President of the United States. The political figures in government care about money and wealth, not the people. Bernard Sanders would be the best choice for President for the main reason that he is concerned about the issues in America that create inequality for the people. The issues addressed by this candidate will create social and economic equality.
Here i am going to list every Thought that went through my mind while watching this Biased Video
In the year 2008 the world was a much different place. Before countless racial protests and riots in streets, before NFL players knelt during the National Anthem for what they believed in, and before our president spoke of nonsensical chauvinistic principles on a regular basis, our country appeared to have a greater sense of unification. This unifying bond between the American people was due in part by Barack Obama, whose entire campaign to become president may have been the most difficult struggle for anybody in the lineage of presidential candidates to go through. As part of his strategy to win over voters and soothe the skepticism of whites who may have had any doubting questions, Obama gave this speech on race; a speech which still
I would have to agree with you when you mention that the 15th amendment should have been granted when the 13th amendment was established . This in fact was racial discrimination that African Americans had no rights in their own country to vote . I also agree that majority of young people today does not understand their rights when it comes to voting. These are topics that have not been taught in schools and that is why so many of them are been mislead. They fail to realize that exercising their rights to vote has a great impact not only for the country but also for themselves. In my views President Obama has done his part and worked hard for the people and for America.President Obama has proved to be an ideological president, one with a developed,
However, in the article Where Do We Go After Ferguson? by Michael Eric Dyson, Professor Dyson 's points on the racial divide in America are valid. In most sense, I believe that blacks are targeted by the system, the government system. Throughout the article, Dyson discussed Barack Obama 's precarious position as a black president. The issues he brought up were Obama has to balance his position on issues equaling to the Ferguson incidents between racial lines. The President Obama tries to narrate his lives compared to black people, nevertheless I fail to detect the validity of that. The problem is that the ordinary black individual possesses his protections against the inhumane
The election of Barack Obama as the president of the United States surprised Americans as much as it did the world. The first African American and non-white to be in the White House, Barack Obama symbolized a major historical event, another step-forward toward racial equality in the history of America. Civil rights activists, experts in the racial conflict of the U.S., and many liberal citizens believed that Obama’s election means the realization of the ideas of black civil rights leaders, the completion of the Civil Rights Movement, the beginning of a post-racial society, and the downfall of
Color shouldn't play an affect in our lives." Racism has transformed over time. After slavery was banned jail became the new slavery. "While people of color make up about 30% of the United States population they account for 60% of those imprisoned". Blacks are being targeted . "That anger is not always productive ; indeed , all too often it distracts attention from solving real problems ; it keeps us from squarely facing our own complicity within the African American community in our condition, and prevents the African Americans community from forging the alliances it needs to bring about real change " Obama is talking about angry blacks and how some use violence and it doesn't help the situation. "Legalized discrimination - where blacks were prevented , often through violence , from owning property or loans" this is quote of unfair treatment to blacks just because they're black
When Barack Obama, the first African American President for the United States was elected, I and many other citizens of the United States thought there was a great new President arising, and what we came to learn was that Obama was not the best thing for the American people. November 4, 2008, Barack Obama was sworn into office, and from that day on the United States has changed greatly. Obama came into office after being elected and laid out a number of clear promises: to cut taxes for most Americans, to get the United States out of Iraq in orderly fashion, and to expand health care (Nagourney1). Obama promised different things when he came into the office, and in my personal opinion, he has done nothing but drag the United States’ economy even further into the ground. One of President Obama’s first plans were to bring home the troops from Iraq, which in some cases he did, but troops were also sent over to Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom. One of the units of the military that was sent over to Afghanistan in 2009 and returned in 2010 was my step dad’s
In my opinion, with Barrack Obama being elected was a way of introducing equality and showing society that we too as African Americans can do great things. We came along ways from slavery days and things are different. We are the same and equal in this free state., the great United States of America.
Tuesday November 4th, 2008. All across the country, eyes are fixated on television screens. Everyone waits in anticipation. The race is almost called. Then, after hours of waiting, the 47th President of the United States of America is announced and simultaneously history is made. A Black man, Barack Obama, has just been elected. However in the time leading up to the election as well as the years that would follow, Obama faces much animosity, criticism, and hatred. In the article, “The Slow Motion Lynching of President Barack Obama”, Frank Schaeffer argues that Obama is being lynched, unfairly attacked and made victim in large part to the country’s racism. Although I agree that President Barack Obama has been unjustly criticized and attacked, Schaeffer only names race as the fuel for such criticism and fails to mention other contributing factors to the lynching of the President.
My parents told me that I would never see a black president in my lifetime. Nobody believed the United States would have a black president so soon. A lot of pressure already came with becoming the president yet alone becoming the first black one. People tried to look through Obama’s past to find anything bad on him that could hurt him from becoming the next president. Race relationships got worse because some people didn’t like the fact he won. Barack Obama proved that if you stay strong and fight through everything that you can become anything you
The election of President Obama marks the most noteworthy political accomplishment for African Americans in the United States during the post-civil rights revolution, thus bringing about a change in the country’s social and political landscape that was steeped in racial discrimination since the founding of this great nation. Because social and political conditions are subject to constant change, President Obama’s
As of now, many Americans have problems with their health care and the two political parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, are split on the issue. The past president, Barrack Obama, enacted the Patient Protection and the Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare, on May 23rd, 2010.
My president is Barack Obama. He was the 44th president of the United States. Barack was a very important president, because he was the first African American president and put in a new laws along his two presidential campaigns from 2009-2016. Now I am going to tell you about the life of Barack Obama.
