I couldn't buy into the Obama hype. I tried but I couldn't. Then he got elected and set up his cabinet and I knew I was right not to buy it.
The election felt like it was going to be a referendum on the banks for the sub-prime mortgage crisis and then those finance jackals that directly contributed to the problem were brought in to oversee the bailout. It was such a transparent "fuck you" to everyone else.
How Obama Cut Black Wealth in Half | Jacobin (uh oh I'm gonna get shit for this)
That's the funniest/most depressing part! White America lost its shit over a black president and then
