Disillusionment with President Obama among Black-Americans from Roland Hanna at Columbia University to Frederick Harris, a novelist in the South
01/20/2009
The best many Black-Americans can say about Obama is that he talked a good game in 2008 but did little for minorities. The same is true for Hispanics as the piece by Wallstein in the Washington Post on June 10, 2012, documents in great detail.

Obama 2007 videotape on a speech at Hampton University in Virginia on race relations and America
01/18/2009
The videotape shows Obama referring to the slow help given to Hurricane Katrina affected residents of New Orleans because they were black, praises pastor Wright, and gives a different picture of race relations than the president has given in public appearances. This videotape has resurfaced in the final weeks of the 2012 U.S. presidential campaign on news shows and raises questions about the president's own convictions, about how he could unify the country especially in light of the polarization that has taken place since 2008.

Black people and the Obama presidency
11/05/2008
A sense that incomes fell, job losses increased and foreclosures on homes increased for black people under the Obama presidency. The same is true for the white middle class and for other minorities. Suggesting that policies that improve the economy and conditions for all middle class and working class Americans is the best hope for all minorities.

Wealth gap in the U.S. between whites and minorities- devastating impact of the recession of 2008
01/05/2009
Hispanics and blacks counted housing equity as a much bigger part of their assets than whites. The recession and financial crisis of 2008 wiped out fully two thirds of the median net worth of Hispanic families and one half for Black families, with both groups having close to $6000 in total median net worth in 2010, according to data from Pew surveys.The recession has proved to be severe in its impact on minorities, and the election of a black president has done little to improve things- especially considering the dismal record of the Obama administration in helping prevent foreclosures.

Geithner Book Reveals Consensus, Not VIsion, During Financial Crisis
New York Times 05/21/2014
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
