Barack Obama

Although African-Americans were overjoyed with the election of US President Barack Obama, black unemployment remains high. Is Obama neglecting the black community for fear of being seen as an angry black man?

President Obama and most Black leaders seem happy to pursue policies they know or should know hurt the Black community; just look at their support of amnesty for illegal aliens who compete with Black citizens for jobs and limited resources. There is no reciprocity on the part of Hispanic leaders to do anything to help Black Americans. We welcome 1.5 million immigrants each year into our country that then displace American workers from every rung of the economic ladder; the 12 to 30 million illegal aliens, however, displace American workers at or near the bottom of the economic ladder where Black workers predominate. Knowing this to be the case, why do Obama and Congressional leaders strongly support these exponential population growth policies? As the third most populous country in the world, we clearly DO NOT NEED to import foreign workers/larger population to meet the needs of our citizens. Quite the contrary, we need to reduce our unsustainable population of 308+ million to a sustainable one of around 200 million people. A population of this size can sustain a very large middle class with a high quality of life. The more we exceeds 200 million people the poorer will be our standard of living and the more freedoms we will have to give up. California is a harbinger of things to come for the rest of the country. Its exponential population growth since the 1960s provides a microcosm for the country; this population growth transformed the state from one which led the nation in most categories to one which is at or near the bottom; a bankrupt, failed state by most measures.

It has to be understood that Obama has been put in office by the white real masters of America. The financial situation of America was getting so critical than something drastic had to be found to cover-up the whole mess. The perfect "smoke-screen" was conceived like a huge Hollywoodian super-production to fool, first the American people, then the rest of us. It worked perfectly well and blacks like most US citizen who lost their jobs, their homes and their dignity were like the innocent victims of Iraq and Afghanistan: collateral casualties. Imperialist cynicism has no limit and we have not seen the end of it. Russia, HELP PLEASE !!! Sorry Future Generations...Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin
