Black Caucus Questions Obama About Farmers
April 28th, 2009Black Caucus Questions Obama About Farmers

The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is not happy about President Barack Obama’s recent move potentially to stem billions of dollars owed to Black farmers. The Caucus recently requested an audience with the president’s officials after learning of a Justice Department filing by Obama’s administration that would prevent farmers who suffered discrimination from collecting up to $4 billion. The court action would top possible compensation at $100 million because it contradicts legislation Obama pushed while he was a senator. “At a minimum, the CBC should meet with the Obama administration and clarify this filing,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.). Read more.

Are you serious! Not to be harsh bro, but you are
one ignorant mf if you believe that.You are worse than the old man
off the boondocks! Being a freethinker like Clarence Thomas isn’t a good thing dawg. You have no concept of the damage the Clintons caused or community! We don’t need to learn…you do playa. Like blacks that support the president are naive and your clarvoyant! lol Crabs in a barrel huh bro?
He might be a silly ass white boy, because Viacom owns BET. It is a white company that owns MTV, VH1, and CMT. It also owns Nick, and Comedy Central.
Clarence Thomas is a conservative and I respect him. A free thinker? Do you hear yourself? Go back and read what you just typed. You are apparently a follower with a followers mentalility. Good for you to state your opinion though I’m not quite sure where you are getting at. The Clintons did alot for us most of which isn’t posted. That’s why black democratic leaders wanted him to be president. They saw what was coming. Obama isn’t the president of blacks he’s the president of America which means that white people come first. Let this be a lesson for all the mindless black folks who voted for him in numbers not because they were stupid but because they were decieved. In the end we had no choice cause no one wanted McCain. Even 50 cent was able to see through it. Regardless of what they say about Democracy this country is ruled by a small group of white people and Obama isn’t going to do anything for us. He lacks the integrity.
Ithink we are forgetting about the real issue concerning the Black farmers. The decision was made when Bush was in office, why didn’t Bush give the money that was awarded during the settlement. Why are people striking out at OBAMA. It took Bush 8 years to put the NATION if financial ruins, and people accept OBAMA to fix all the problems of the Naiton if 100 days. That is not possible, he told all of us that the problems may take more than 1term to straighten out. Ask yourself the question, if you won a settlement, would you go after the money yourself. The CBC is doing the same thing you would have done.
As for David, he is looking for some attention, something that he doesn’t get very often or he wouldn’t have put that comment on a page that represent BLACK PEOPLE as a whole. He’s learn a little knowledge and now he feel like he knows the history of Black People. David are you really a white man, because you would know that, that statement would offended everyone on this page who reads that.
David, Africians did sell their people into slavery, but slavery lasted long after the trade market of selling Blacks had ended. As for a you saying the OBAMA is half, it was White People who said, if a person had a drop of Black Blood in them, then they were considered BLACK, Now that OBAMA is the President, it is not acceptable to be considered as half white.
And Blackman i just wanted to say not to disrespect you, but it’s still early and he has a lot of cleaning up to do. let’s just give him a chance and see what he has to offer.
I think people are forgetting the point behind the CBC, they are just trying to get their money. If you won a settlement wouldn’t you want your money. People need to read, they were award the money while Bush was in office, why didn’t Bush pay the money out to them. What does Obama have to gain by taking their settlement.
As for David, I believe he put that statement there for attention, to see what people would say to it. I can tell the David has learned somethings about black history, but if he remember, White people continue on with the use of Slaved long after the slave trade had ended. White people never considered Blacks as their equal, so why should they start now. They were the ones who first disowned bi-racial people, syaing if there was a drop of BLACK BLOOD in a person then they were considered as BLACK. So now that OBAMA has been elected President by every race, why is it OK to be considered bi-racial.He may have been raised in a white home, but he felt the pressures of being BLACK. He said he felt it frome comments that his Grandmother us to make. So don’t think he doesn’t know who he is and that he is a BLACK MAN. I feel sorry for our President. He has to carry the whole race on his shoulder. If he doesn’t get it right, then people will fell like they use to, no BLACK person is good enought to run this country. Instead of letting racist people like DAVID put BLACKS all the way back to the JIM CROW LAWS, let pray for our president and continue to believe in him. You have believed in all the BAD WHITE PRESIDENTS we had. It took Bush to mess this country up so bad, that even WHITES didn’t want another WHITE MAN in office.
I am a real white boy, and don’t you forget it. I am being perpatrated by some nig claiming that I have a “Beefy Black Man”. I don’t like non whites or homos. So whoever is using my name, get a life.
Obama had 100 days to do or say at least one thing for the Black Community and so far he hasn’t even mentioned the word African American. Right after he got inaugurated he shut that whole thing down. Think about what I am saying before you react emotionally, please. How can you have integrity when you do things like that? Does he think we are all stupid? Are we? Does any Black person see this? Is he not doing it because it is expected or does he believe in what he’s doing? Black Americans votes in droves for this guy. I’m sorry but I have a serious problem with his performance.
Naw just kidding !!! I Love Big Beefy Black Men !! I like it better when they beat my ass and make me their women, I love to have my nipples pinched with clothes pins and I like wearing Diapers on hot days in public!!
Stop playing around with my name Lynn. I know it is you.
Wow, I cant believe the ignorance that has been shown on this blog!
Unfortunately President Obama will not catch a break ….def catch 22 4 him!
He’s doing too much!………whoa, I wonder what the argument wld be if he was doing nothing at all?….Hello black folks please do not feed into the mainstream media brainwashing system….Please know that OBAMA has not only done something for all Blacks by becoming the first Black President restoring our sense of hope and pride, but he has done something for everyone in this world who thought it would never happen……Changed their hearts and made more people believers…God is able…..for all the confused Black folks who feel like he let you down….Please know that the Power of the Lord put him in office….not your votes alone!!!!Hallelujah!!!!!Glory b 2 God!
of course this is no surprise…everybody talking about Obama this…Obama that…well i knew all along Obama is working with the white man…in my opinion he is just like Bush he dont give a fucC about us minority…and everybody that doesnt believe, just wait yall gon see…and its only amount of time…yea he might do a little to hel;p us but at the end of the day this is a white mans world to be honest and he is definitely not all black so yall just sit back and think about what i just wrote. He might not show his true colors right now because its like what?? his hundreth day in office…so you know he still fresh meat…but give it some time it may be months from now maybe a year from now…just know DiiVA kAyY saiiD iit fiiRst…
Hahaha, David from talkin like ur da guy to insult black to belittle urself until ur fightin of u fucccin name hahah, look at wat u look like now.
just saying cos its true,
If you believe that then I have a bridge I’d like to sell you. You said a mouthful…a mouth full of s.h.i.t. Cowards like you spit that PURE hatred anonymously because you realize how stupid you sound.
Ovarion you the jacka$$ for voting for anybody based on race.
I understand that you personally have a problem with President Obama’s performance but how does that translate into ALL blacks who voted for him are puppets and mindless and you are the only black person IN THE WORLD capable of reasonable thought?
i would just like to drop a bit of common sense into your minds…(without insulting anybody) OBAMA has been in office for 100+ days…you cannot expect the man to fix years of damage overnight …i think you all are so caught up on black/white NONSENSE you guyzz are All 4getting that this IS the man that most of you chose as PRESIDENT…this IS the man that MADE history and now because he didnt do something the way YOU wanted him to …as quick as YOU wanted him to…all hellz broken loose!!! NEED i remind you that he was NOT chosen as president so that he can be every black persons beckNcall….welcome to the real world …just because we have a black president DOESNT mean that black people are suddenly DELIVERED and can now stop trying to SUCCEED…
Yew lived thru bush…so yew can live thru OBAMA …give the man a break
