The Obama administration is tackling some of the most insidious civil rights issues of our time

1. Brilliant compilation from smartypants, she!

Thank you! This is a great reference OP, too.. when looking for information on what PBO, AG Holder and others have done to give a helping hand to our African Americans.

Damn I forgot about this .. saw some comments after PBO's speech whining about the War on Drugs.. like this never happened..

"Obama announces the end of the war on drugs - anyone notice?"

This over from smartypants' blog..

I'm really glad that Spandan over at The People's View wrote a response to Tavis Smiley yesterday giving him a list of what President Obama has done for African Americans. But I see that Cornel West has (of course) joined Smiley's bandwagon this morning by suggesting that Barack Obama is some "johnny come lately" to concerns about how the criminal justice system has affected African Americans.

Of course Brother West is wrong. I'd like to take some time to document why.

The problem with these two is that I'm not sure PBO respects them enough to listen anymore.. perhaps thinking he's been at his job long enough to know the best to handle his challenges. And, all they have to offer is that.. he's too slow and too late.. while they sputter away doing damn nothing but sputtering.

Mahalo she and smartypants!
