Who is Barack Obama?

A black president would focus more on black issues. Such as reducing black on black crimes, higher wages for black people exc. This is what america needs to make things equal for all of the citizens.
ONLY black can reduce black on black crimes. It is called " being responsible for your own actions ".

Barack Obama isn't a Muslim. He's a Christian and this is a widely known fact. Come on people, he's named after his father, not a religion. If his father was named "Pierre" and he were named after him, would we be arguing him being a French national?
You're correct. There's even a thread started by yours truely about his church.

:notworthy :notworthy




P.S. If he were a french national, I'd be making white flag jokes. :lmao:

True but we need help. we need a higher police presence in scertain areas to reduce the open air drug market. This would give the people in the comunity the suport they need to try and deal with the criminals takign over thier neibor hoods.

Maybe if black parents pushed more education, respect, family values you wouldn't need the US Government to dictate how to clean up this mess. And get half those kids of that ADHD medication and give them a good a$$ whopping...:smack:

Mayor Dinken (NYC) and Berry (DC) Nagin (New Orleans) were three black leaders elected in 3 Major cities and all saw an increase in crime and lawlessness during their time (and the majority black vote kept reelecting these fools to office) and they had direct management oversight of the cities, what makes you think Obama can do any better from afar... :coffee:

A black President certainly isn't the answer to that situation. While a greater police presence deters crime in a community, it doesn't get rid of it. Often, it leads to other problems and tension between the police and the community if not done correctly. A greater police presence in any community is easily achieved if the community bands together and works WITH the police to address a problem.

As a matter of fact, President Clinton successfully tried the more police presence approach we he created the COPS Office to fund police officer positions at the local level. Statistically, crime rates dropped when more officers were hired and on patrol but according to Congress, which cut the COPS Office funding after Clinton's second term, it was tougher laws not more police officers that contributed to lower crime rates. Personally, I haven't seen how the death penalty or three-strikes laws have deterred any career criminals.

I whole-heartedly agree that positive, educated, informed, feared-by-their-children parents, regardless of race, are the key to solving many socio-economic problems.

It should be noted that over the last 10 years, the mayors of Honolulu, San Deigo and Salt Lake City all saw increases in crime during their tenures which was attributed to the city's high number of meth addicts. Most of the addicts arrested for crimes were white. And majority white voters in those cities couldn't get a mayor elected who could get rid of the meth problem which plagued those cities. The white Presidents of the same 10 year period haven't been able to do much from afar either.

Ron Paul would fix that! He would decriminalize meth. Presto you have less crime because you wouldn't arrest meth heads for buying or selling meth.

How can you blame Mayor Nagin for what happend in new orleans. If it wasn;t for the Hurricane the crime rate would not have exploded. That was an act of god.

I think that would be a smart way to go. If you legalize all drugs that would take the proffit out selling them. Thus it would inturn reduce a majority of the drug related crimes.

The New Orleans crime rate was one of the highest in the Nation before the Hurricane, and when 120,000 of these nice people were shipped off to Houston, TX their crime rate skyrocketed...:coffee:

Yes, just like most other black people I believe that the flooding of New Orleans was caused by the Huricane.
How do you feel about the animals that shot small arms fire at the helos that were there trying to rescue folks???

I still think it may have been that hurricane machine personally.

I mean Bush does hate black people.

There you have it.... God wants more black-on-black crime.

I can't wait until we have a black President. Then maybe all the "poor me" blacks will stop with the whole "the man is keeping me down" thing... Nobody is keeping them down but themselves as it is, but a black man in the White House should put an end to a lot of that tired argument.

Great Leadership by Nagin:

New Orleans murder rate on the rise again
Homicide rate nowhere near ’94 peak but still 10 times national average

NEW ORLEANS - Last year, university researchers conducted an experiment in which police fired 700 blank rounds in a New Orleans neighborhood in a single afternoon. No one called to report the gunfire.

New Orleans residents are reluctant to come forward as witnesses, fearing retaliation. And experts say that is one of several reasons homicides are on the rise in the Big Easy at a time when other cities are seeing their murder rates plummet to levels not seen in decades.

The city’s murder rate is still far lower than a decade ago, when New Orleans was the country’s murder capital. But in recent years, the city’s homicide rate has climbed again to nearly 10 times the national average.

Homicides hit their historic peak here in 1994, with 421 dead — more per capita than any other U.S. city that year. Within just five years, the number was slashed by nearly two-thirds, to 159, as homicides plummeted nationally.

Back up to 265 last year
But by last year, the number in New Orleans had crept back up to 265. There had been 192 this year by mid-August, compared with 169 at the same time in 2004. Adjusted for the city’s size, those numbers dwarf murder rates in Washington, Detroit, Baltimore, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City.

they were not shooting at the helicopters. they were just shooting in the air to get the helicopters attention so they could be rescued. I don;t think anyone was actually tryign to shoot down helicopters.
