Lack of enthusiasm for Harris “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers," Obama said while campaigning for her in Pittsburgh. He said Black men need to get behind Harris and get out to vote.

      Observe the slow, uninterrupted decline that starts in 2004

      Ah, yes! 2004! A truly defining year for the Obama presidency when…

      checks notes

      …he was still the junior Senator from Illinois. Huh…

      What policies of Barack Obama do you think contributed to this?

      Do you believe the president actually has a role in determining whether black people can achieve home ownership?

      Look at all the graphs for the other races linked on that page. They all follow the same curve. Homeownership across the board followed that curve, not just for black Americans. You have an obvious agenda.

          2008 was bad for all Americans.

          This is a classic “blame the Democrats for the mess created by Republicans” right wing tactic. Republicans shit their diapers, then get voted out, then immediately start complaining that it smells awful and why would the Democrats do this

          It is to your claim that he specifically failed black americans.

          And it’s also your move to prove that Obamas policies were actually the issue, because similar things happened all over the world, and a government can only do so much.
