{UAH} RESPONSE TO MULINDWA: DAMAGE TO BLACK PEOPLE

Obama hasn't done anything worse than what other leaders did...except Bill Clinton.  Bill was the worst president for present-day black people (he exported their jobs, increased their incarceration, started a trend to impoverish them...black wages started falling as a direct result of Bill Clinton's policies, introduced uncontrolled debt financing, etc).  

thanks

Subject: {UAH} RESPONSE to OCAYA: BLACKS HAVE NOT GAINED FROM BLACK LEADERS

 

Mr Ocaya,

fyi, republicans had black congresspeople before democrats did.  And Colin Powell is a republican and he was polling very well in the republican party before he decided not to run for president.   But I am not really big on the symbolism of black elected officials.  It is like someone telling me that i should celebrate Sekandi's post because I am catholic and muganda...but how does his post help me?  I would rather have a cabinet filled by Bakiga if I can find drugs at Mulago, drive in Kla without portholes, pick up a newspaper and not read about a new corruption scandal, etc.  For African Americans, I'd rather have good schools, affordable healthcare, security on the streets, good incomes, etc.  None of those things have gotten better since Obama became president!  The past 30 years has seen so many black leaders elected to office.  They do well for themselves but their communities don't improve much!  

 

As for black gains from democratics vs republicans, most gains for black people were from republican efforts...emancipation (Abraham Lincoln was a republican), the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed with overwhelming support of republicans but it was opposed by most democratic congresspeople, the Voting Right Act of 1965 was again passed based on overwhelming republican support.  If you look at democratic politics in the 50s and 60s, most southern democrats opposed many proposed civil rights bills. In fact, democrats in southern states abandoned the democratic party because of the civil rights laws that the democratic party leadership helped push through congress. 

thanks
