The conservative Republican blogger in D.C. takes U.S. President Barack Obama to task for risking political capital for other minority groups, while being silent on blacks' concerns: "After giving Obama over 95% of their vote twice, blacks want to know
when the first black president will focus on issues impacting blacks
like: rising poverty, unemployment and incarceration rates, growing education gap and economic decline the breakdown of the black family? When I tweeted about this lack of love blacks are feeling for their
blind support of Obama a second time around, a black person replied: 'Obama has always made it clear that he is the POTUS not the President
of Black America.'"
More: "Indeed Obama is 'president of all Americans' but Obama has made gay
marriage a priority and less than 5% of the population is gay. He’s also
made illegal immigration a priority because 71% of Hispanics voted for
him but only make up 14% of the population. These two groups don’t look
like the face of 'All Americans.' But Obama won’t even give blacks a
crumb. He has yet to name one black person to fill a cabinet position in
his second term. It may be too late for blacks to influence Obama because he doesn’t
have an election hanging over his head. But blacks should take a hard
look at the gang of “Blacktivists” like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and
organizations like NAACP, Congressional Black Caucus purporting to fight
for what’s good for blacks and ask them what have they done for blacks?"
