wow three posts and all are blame the white man.
I guess Obama's propaganda works moreso than I thought.
Maybe I should re-evaluate and just say that all hope is lost for the black community?

In that study about the loans did they take into account their credit history and credit score?? that could be the reason they put them in subprime loans, not necessarily because they are black
The president has previously received criticism from some black leaders for not doing enough to help the African American community as rates for school dropout and unemployment among African Americans continue to be higher than the national numbers.
Last August, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) told a crowd of Congressional Black Caucus members in Detroit, “We want to give the president every opportunity to show what he can do and what he’s prepared to lead on. But our people are hurting and the unemployment rate is unconscionable.”
Obama has in the past responded to such criticism. In an interview on BET last September he answered a question about why he didn’t create more policies specifically targeted at African Americans: “That’s not how America works,” the president replied, “America works when all of us are pulling together and everybody is focused on making sure that every single person has opportunity.”
President Barack Obama is rapidly losing support among African-American voters in North Carolina, a new poll out today from the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling shows.
I guess you think stating historical and current fact is blaming things on the "white man". It's called blaming the power structure for having a white supremacist slant.

The entire executive order power should be abolished.
I cannot seem to find this power anywhere in the Constitution.
US presidents have issued executive orders since 1789. Although there is no Constitutional provision or statute that explicitly permits executive orders, there is a vague grant of "executive power" given in Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 of the Constitution, and furthered by the declaration "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" made in Article II, Section 3, Clause 4. Most Executive Orders use these Constitutional reasonings as the authorization allowing for their issuance to be justified as part of the President's sworn duties,[2] the intent being to help direct officers of the US Executive carry out their delegated duties as well as the normal operations of the federal government: the consequence of failing to comply possibly being the removal from office.[3]
2.^ SCOTUS, Mississippi v. Johnson, 71 U.S. 475 (1866), The Supreme Court's decision held that the President has two kinds of task to perform: ministerial and discretionary. EOs help facilitate the execution of the Executive's ministerial duties.
3.^ SCOTUS, Myers v. United States, 272 U.S. 52 (1926), Majority Opinion.

It allows the President to bypass Congress and basically gives the President to much power.

White presidents have been catering and vigorously looking out for white people for the last 400 years, let alone the last 43 presidents. White people not only had a 400 year start, but black have just gotten out of slavery just a little under 50 years ago.
What’s your little point, with your little tyrant, racist, rant thread? Like….are you serious?
What more do white people want, blacks are really fu&^%ed up, how much more fu(*& up do you want them to be.
Now that a black president wants to do something for his people….JUST LIKE WHITE PRESIDENTS HAVE DONE, NOW ITS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THE WORLD.
Get a life and grow up! This is 2012, not the1800s.Im so glad the younger generation does not think like the past generation, that is why obama will easily be reelected. Thank god 80% of the new and improved generation of humans aren’t programmed like the old racist sheeple… old farts that just cant grow up, that live in the new millennium as if times is in the 50s,40,30,0r 20s.edit on 4-8-2012 by LastProphet527 because: (no reason given)

"a black president wants to do something for his people".
Are you that stupid? You are the racisist.
If that was his intent, he would have done it by now. He is a socialist marxist. His mandate is to destroy this country and re-make it in his black theology mindset.. He doesn't give a damn about you.
"Thank god 80% of the new and improved generation of humans aren’t programmed like the old racist sheeple…"
Perhaps this is why you can't see what is right in front of your face.....
