Should whites be upset with our former Presidents when the economy is bad? Should they hold the President accountable based on the fact that he is white or on the fact that the economy was performing badly on his watch?
No one wishes high unemployment on anyone-- regardless of their race.
The argument you have presented is faulty to its core.

It's not faulty at all. His policies obviously ARE disproportionately effecting blacks more than whites. Certainly that was not his intention, but it si happening nonetheless. Yet, blacks continue to disproportionately support him. Why? Because he is black.
Jeremy, honest to God I am not trying to be a jerk. I'm just SSSOOO tired of people being afraid to broach this subject. Obama is not promoting policies that grow the economy, especially for blacks. Why then support him? It's one thing to bask for awhile in the historical significance of his election. I understand that. But when does the honeymoon end between Obama and the black voter? When Bush sucked, conservatives through him overboard. Obama sucks just as bad , and my black countrymen continue to give him up to 96% support because he has a certain shade of skin color. It's pathetic.
Though in all fairness, it's probably a combination of his skin color and the drivel he and every other Democrat spews forth that blacks still have not seen through. The test will be when a black Libertarian/Conservative is nominated by the GOP. Will blacks support such a candidate? Or will they continue to allow themselves to be brainwashed,
USED, and manipulated by the Democrats? Time will tell.
