18. Don't think so ~ I'm African American

Feb 2013

and I can't speak for every AA - however----
I was a big fan of West and his buddy Tavis Smiley but I'm with the poster that said that President Obama has not given Smiley and West enough "face time."

The enormous outpouring of African Americans to vote for OBAMA , some standing in long lines for hours, is a big indication of how much African Americans LOVE President OBAMA.

THE NAACP is a huge supporter of the President!

If they want to beat up on somebody, why don't they give Uncle Thomas a call at the Supreme Court.
