Although America has a black President, blacks in America feel that the government is too slow in responding to the problems affecting their race.

    Black America is suffering significant economic, social and educational problems, and black prominent leaders like Dr. Cornell West, and Tavis Smiley has serious concerns about President Barack Obama leadership. When black Americans help elect Barack Obama as President, we understood that he would be President of all America, not ‘just’ our President. Dr. Cornell West and Tavis Smiley have been unfairly critical of the President, with more criticism then they administered toward any of the white preceding Presidents. Dr. West has many important issues that many black people support, like for instance, the billions spent during the election campaign, drone attacks killing innocent people during war. I believe, that certain people need a validation for hurling stones at the very people whom they admire and but fail to measure up to. I call it a crisis in black leadership, especially when you have the loudest person in the room, doing the least to make his point of a valid argument. Sure, the President should be doing more, and later I will disclose where he left black America dangling in the wind. People choose their friends, heroes and methods of persuasion to stir up the interested few. Dr. West and Tavis Smiley can criticize the President all they want. However, the crisis is the destruction of young blacks in America and Dr. West, and Tavis Smiley conduct is relevant of what is wrong with black America.
