Enough already with the tired rants of Black family shortcomings and the overkill about Black decay .... Obama finally spoke about Black issues in our nation as if Black issues are not American issues.. I imagine he had no choice to put Black issues on the agenda and radar given the NAACP was the venue...
Of course in the post racial world of Obama this mantra of calling out a segment of our nation's population has yet to take place with Obama giving "tough lectures in venues where asians, hispanics, gays, arabs, jews, muslims, reside....
The very idea that Black Americans are not always needy and in a state of crisis I guess does not fit the script of a post racial Obama society... That is tragic of course since Black Americans bring more than Rythm and Blues to the party...

Thrasher,
Your sentiments are consistent with many on another group where I am a frequent visitor. I truly think that his message is being miscontsrued. Though he was speaking at a convention of mostly black fok, the message is applicable to all races. I understand exactly what you are saying, but let me ask you this: "Do you think that he could get away with that same message in front of other ethnic groups?"
Just curious!
