The "black agenda," as the groups have called their wish list on Twitter, starts with ensuring the fiscal cliff doesn't disproportionately hurt black Americans. That's something Marc Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League, has worried about before. But Morial also listed five new priorities that came out of what he called Monday's "historic gathering." Those include: working for parity for blacks in education, health care and the economy; reforming the criminal justice system; and protecting and defending voting rights.
The White House did not immediately respond to request for comment about whether the president would make these priorities a focus during his second term.

ugh...
ReplyDeleteAs soon as these so called 'African American leaders" get there own communities in order which no one can deny are hotbeds of poverty and crime then they can start giving their opinions. Until then their opinions do not matter as they are failures of the most extreme kind and not worth listening to.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know what the date of the "White Agenda" takes place....
ReplyDeleteJust curious.
When is white history month?
ReplyDeletelook at that face would you? do you really think the elevator goes all the way to the top for good old al?
ReplyDeleteThese Racist fools are a disgrace to society. Look at them jiving for handouts. Hypocrites.
ReplyDeleteAll they do is continue to beg, black male and steal in the name of affirmative action which has become nothing more than an admittance of inferiority.
The truth is blacks as a whole lead statistics in unemployment and crime not to mention all the destructive social implications of the culture. Unwed mothers, failing students, fatherless children, drugs, prostitution, stupidity etc... THESE are the issues the black community should be addressing.
Integration as a grand experiment has failed. Instead of the good rubbing off on the bad, the bad has sowed its seeds in the good.
FUBU ya'll.
where's the white caucaus? gag me with a spoon. and they feel they have privliges above everyone else? go away.

ReplyDeleteWhere is White History Month, European American month, Irish American month, Russian American month, Israeli American month (oh wait, that will NEVER happen under a muslim prez), Italian American month, and so on. I guess we'll have to do half month celebrations as America is a melting pot.
These so called africian american "leaders" have been a disgrace and any african american with a brain in their head would tell them all so and start chosing real leaders. It is no secret that most african american communities are in a shambles. Why anyone would continue on with these "leaders" is a mystery. They have done nothing for their communities or their people.
ReplyDeleteThey need to be all shown the door and some REAL leaders put in place and not these loud mouthed ignoramouses.
