You didn't find one Econimic thread and are disappointed? You are out of touch with the black community.

19. I was told to come here so I did. I was told this is the place where issues should be discussed.
Then I find this... which is a resentment thread and one of my posts is used as fodder.
And I am not supposed to be aggressive.
Yeah that sounds fair.
Y'all can kick me out of the this group if you want.
But as it stands now I have searched this whole front page in the African American group and I don't see one thread dedicated to economic issues.
So yeah I am out of touch and tone deaf because one would think it would warrant serious discussion both here and in DU Primaries.
I have a feeling on a day to day basis it is a real issue being discussed in African American homes. I would bet money on it if I could.
But on DU... naw... you would rather just complain about people like me who have voted for every Democratic Presidential candidate they could have voted for since they could vote. Because yeah white liberals and progressives are the enemy... even though they they are the ones who have marched with you and worked to help you since Civil Rights times.
Makes a lot of sense.

We are being murdered by members of your precious government. Ain't no money if there ain't no life.
You can see yourself to the door.

It wasn't that way in 2007 / 2008 when I supported Obama. What happened?

Judging from the both the peevish hide and the number of less-than-sincere responses...
