Obama Continues To Stress Responsibility In NAACP Speech




Barack Obama continued his consistent message to the black community last night at the NAACP's 99th Convention being held in Cincinnati, OH. He said that if elected president he will continue to fight for civil rights. He also stated that while blacks need more cooperation from the government and Wall Street, ultimately we should be responsible for our future success.

Barack is clearly my man, but his continued rant about personal responsibility in the black community is getting old and stale. I think, that after all of these years black people are aware of the problems that exist, but since we started late in this race it's a very daunting challenge trying to catch up. Clearly education is the key to success in any community, but if you have kids coming from rough situations being taught by failing school systems combined with all of the family and cultural challenges, you usually have a recipe for failure.

Perhaps after all of these years, Barack has all of the answers to the ills in the black community.
