Black leaders didn’t criticize Bush this much… I think it’s a p***y a$$ move to keep trying to jump down his throat voice your concerns and go through the proper channels…

BETTER THAN THAT, ACT LIKE A DAMN LEADER IF YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE LEADING YOUR COMMUNITY AND STOP WAITING FOR OBAMA TO DO EVERYTHING.

NO PROPS FOR P***Y MOVES!

COSIGN on Stan. SMDH.

First and foremost Alan Keyes is not a black leader and neither is Tavis Smiley. They have not paid any dues to be annoited with that grand title. Tavis Smiley is truly an example of a person who felt snubbed because candidate Obama did not accept the offer to appear at Tavis Smiley’s self serving venue and is seaking “payback” as a child.

If candiate Obama had appeared at Smiley’s forum he would be fully supporting Obama. The best way to describe Tavis is the proverbial crab who would pull another down.

As for Rev. Jesse Jackson he was wrong but the good thing about it is his son has already chastised him publicly for his antics.

It’s all about checks and balances. It’s Ok to criticize Obama as long as it’s based on real issues and not fluff. But I have to agree sometimes the Brotha does come of a little INTIMIDATED when a reporter ask him something specific to the plight of Blacks.
I Love Obama But Sometimes When A situation like that occurs, I’m like damn have some back bone bruh’ … We should be proud as hellll
but at the same time alert and objective.
Yes we as a community have to be help ourselves out of alot of what we can control this indeed we can and must do !!
But let’s not ( EVER ) forget that century’s of overwhelming obstacles and odds have been stacked against our people by the very same government that our Brother and President now presides over …..
Let’s just think about that for a few minutes ..

im an ex-patriot and i say phuk obama and any other president of america! : P

Alan Keys is an idiot. Everytime I hear him talk I feel embarrassed for him trying to sound intelligent. You will see him use an extensive vocabulary but then ends up rambling and by the end of the argument the whole room, both black and whites are laughing at him and not taking him seriously.

allque8 before Obama was elected who would you consider the so called Black leader? And Stan_Vinyl they didn’t criticize Bush as much because he didn’t give a damn about what they thought so why waste there time. At least Obama has to take into consideration what they are saying.

We have to remember that Mr. Pres. is the President not a civil rights leader, not an activist for the black caucus; and whether or not anyone agree with Obama ,especially black leaders, they should be trying to uplift him and not try to break him off with negative connotations, he has enough hate news from those bytches from fox news.

Well worded Dont_play2 :o)
too bad a lot of people don’t have the better sense to realize as much.

Obama is not a God. He is a man open to corruption like everybody else on Captiol Hill. HE IS NOT PERFECT. NOBODY IS.

First of all Obama is not black for he was he never would have been elected. He is as they say a man with a tan, He is nothing but a socialist pig and is trying to destroy this country from within (remember 911?) for his Muslim brothers, he has the lowest approval rating in history for
American Presidents. Second of all it was Sharpton not Jackson who tried to ban the the so called bad word and in doing so refreshed it in the minds of those who had all but forgotten it (just to mention I work with many black people and I never hear that word more then from them), Jackson did not get in simply because he is black but because he is a bigoted racist and viciously antisemitic (remember him calling the Jews of New York a bunch of hymies? (bad word from years ago) and from a really very nice black person that I work with “most of the problems that blacks have are brought on by their own selves”
