[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obama’s record is not great with AA’s:

[quote]Under the leadership of America’s first black president, black people have been the biggest losers. Here are the numbers:
• 25% of black households live below the poverty line as compared to eight percent for white households.
• One out of three black children lives in poverty.
• Blacks are twice as likely as whites to be unemployed.
• Blacks earn $13,000 less per year than their white counterparts.
• The unemployment rate of African Americans has consistently been twice as high as for whites over the last 50 years.
• For every $100 in wealth of a white household, the black household only has $6 in wealth.
Thanks to Obama, gun violence in America is rising. Blacks are suffering the most because they are six times more likely to commit a homicide than whites and seven times more likely to be a victim of a homicide than whites. Crime has escalated thanks to Obama stoking the race wars in America.[/quote]

These are all longstanding problems that didn't suddenly happen with Obama, it was going on long before Obama.  Most of the economic issues are thanks to the last 30 years of GOP supply-side economic policy put in place with Reagan, along with things like Republican tax cuts for the rich and for mega corporates as opposed to things that would help the poor and small businesses, and "trickle down" policy in which nothing ever trickles down, which has concentrated the lion's share of the wealth at the top, increasing the wealth divide while also causing the economy to stagnate.  And, I have yet to see one GOP candidate in the last 20 years who would even remotely propose anything to help reverse any of that.[/quote]
