That's true, both parties are well funded by big biz to do their bidding. Good luck!

Can you prove it. Somewhere I have a list that shows how much money goes where... but not today, gotta winterize or else.

Clete,
I have quite a few friends in the US as well as family who now lives there. Not all republicans there are like the ones on this board. The ones here seem particularly venomous and bitter, others are more moderate and hold their views as personal.

You crack me up. NO one spews more venom than you and the libs here. What annoys people like you is we think for ourselves and don't roll over and surrender to your BS. Regardless, all of you are missing the point.

All right, we'll agree to disagree. Have a great day with your white friends!

Do you believe the stats posted or not?

Median family income for black Americans has declined a whopping 10.9 percent during the Obama administration…This decline does not include losses suffered during the financial crisis and the recession that followed, but it instead measures declines since June 2009, when the recession officially ended.

That’s not the only bad news for African-Americans. The poverty rate for blacks is now 25.8 percent. The black labor force participation rate, which rose throughout the 1980s and 1990s, has declined for the past decade and quite sharply under Obama to 61.4 percent. The black unemployment rate, according to Pew Research, stands at 13.4 percent. Among black, male, high school dropouts, PBS’ Paul Salmon reports, the unemployment rate is a staggering 95 percent.

There are lies, damned lies, and statistics. Yours are all three.

Then by all means, give us the correct ones.

Certainly. Racism, the Jim Crow drug war, the Bush recession, white flight, stand your ground and right wing extremism.

Just last night, O'Reilly accused Obama of being very angry, and wants to destroy his opponents - all without a scintilla of evidence. Brit Hume, no lefty himself, rightly told O'Reilly he was nuts.

There are NO stats that measure HATRED like that.

How are blacks faring under Obama, better or worse? That's the question.

Hello again, Steve:

Why should they be faring any better than anyone else? That's my answer.

PS> Look up. See where I said recession? I wasn't lying.

[tomder55]

The "recession" was declared over .It's the emperor's recovery that sucks... especially for blacks.

So you really aren't all that concerned for the welfare of blacks after all, eh?

I worked on the 2000 US Census. First time they gave people the option of being mixed race. What happened to those stats? I'm tired of black, white, white, black, who's getting what perks and bennies or climbing the corporate ladder or the first to go to Mars. What's it like for the Obamas and the Woods and the millions of not famous people with one parent one race, the other parent another. I think I remember hearing about Obama's struggle with the nowhere land he was in after not knowing his father and being raised by his mother and her parents, sometime around high school, and more so when it came time to job hunt.
WHAT'S IT LIKE?

From the US Census website:
"The 2010 Census showed that people who reported multiple races grew by a larger percentage than those reporting a single race. According to the 2010 Census brief The Two or More Races Population: 2010, the population reporting multiple races (9.0 million) grew by 32.0 percent from 2000 to 2010, compared with those who reported a single race, which grew by 9.2 percent.

Overall, the total U.S. population increased by 9.7 percent since 2000, however, many multiple-race groups increased by 50 percent or more."

So many stats piss me off. Education stats by race instead of family income, for one. Ugh. When is it going to be about economies rather than race?

Good question, I'm tired of everything being about race and wars on women.

How many wars on women? Didn't even know there was one.
I see wars on gun control, Muslims, Food Stamp and welfare recipients, illegal aliens...
I'm tired of everything being 'Take back America' and various Amendments to the Constitution, mostly the 2nd. And I'm all for having guns too. I am just tired of simple minded rabble rousing.
