Former President Obama is drawing criticism for recent comments calling on Black men to turn out for Vice President Harris in November's election.
The American judicial system, including law enforcement, has historically had a love-hate relationship with black men with more hate than love. From mass incarceration, slave catchers to police, decades of police brutality, and just plain American Racism. Law enforcement has played a road in the demise of black men in America. Though all police officers are not morally corrupt, the historical issues with police officers and black men have not fully been corrected by law enforcement, and the past continues to be shown.
Though black men are not held to any political party, and can vote for their best interest, one has to ask, do black men see that they are voting against their own historical fight? Do black men see they are voting against their own interest when it comes to voting for someone who wants to give police officers complete immunity?
Does Obama's comments towards black men shine a light on the deeper issues between black men in the democratic party? Or the need to hear what black men are demanding for their vote?
Given the fact that Obama is a black man in America, with a black family that is part of the Black American Culture, wouldn't he have the right to make a suggestion to men that he sees himself as? Or did Obama have a case of, "when keeping it real goes wrong?".
