Obama he has destroyed the american economy and tromped all over the constitution and the american public against their will and continues to do so. Shoving unwanted laws and healthcare crap down our throats and buying an election so he could finish becoming a dictator and destroying america

So what did Bush do for you Tbone? I had to put up with Bush for 8 yrs. and now you gotta put up w/ Obama for 8! Looks like an even trade!

How is this promoting equal rights? Where is White History Month or Native American History Month or Asian History Month or Hispanic History Month etc.etc.?. Why should blacks be singled out as to who is making an impact when all the other races have people making impacts.?

I guess the same reason you don't have prostate cancer month, but you have breast cancer awareness month! Any more stupid questions, Laurie!!!!! Or did you loose internet signal in your trailer?

Bush never had a federal appeals court tell him he overstepped his authority. Then again Bush never put himself above the Constitution.

Oh Bush didn't? What about going to War without Congressional approval? What about the 4,000 plus soldiers killed in Iraq all so Cheney could pocket billions?

Not everyone will like the ELECTED President. We could debate about PRESENT and former or wishful all day, doesn't change your opinion or mine. And at the end of the day, ALL elected or appoint official is going to "do" whatever they believe is the right thing. Now, please write and tell DD of a someone that is making an impact (positive). Surely you can come up with one person!

Herman there is no such thing as a stupid question only stupid answers and yours was not only stupid but insulting and shows you are lacking for something intelligent to say.

No, mine was pointing out that you are undercover racist! So, if you want to be low down and post stupid comments, then don't get offended when someone does the same to you!!!!! If i was lacking something intelligent to say, what does that say about you!!!???? You can dish it out, but not take it? Then you know how others feel.

Herman you are really ignorant & stupid if you think my comment makes me an undercover racist. I am only pointing out that people from all races & walks of life make impacts to be recognized & what they do to impact society should not be based on race. I just think that name calling is childish but I do not take crap laying down you slung the first one but I am still ahead of you because this is my last response to your ignorance & insults.

McDonalds is making an impact! Check out 365Black.com. I wonder, if it's a positive impact? Or does that matter?

Do They Have To Be BLACK, To Be Nominated?

Steve, the guy down the street - I nominate him!

Obama . . the $5 triion dollar man. I'm curious as to what that number will change to in 4 more years.

@ Laurie....it's for Black History Month....therefore, I would think they are talking about a black person that is making a positive impact in the community. And you are ridiculous with your comments. Not only on this post but others as well. There it is! Silly person.

Talk about whites being racists. How many white women do you see in the Miss Black American contest.?
