I don't know who needs to hear this, but black people in power positions aren't the black community's savior, nor have they ever been. The reason being is that blacks in authority have to do what's in the country's best interest. That, and other groups would be in their feelings over why that person isn't doing for them. When President Obama got in office, blacks were rejoicing over Obama being the first black president. They had high hopes for Obama & look what happened, Obama did more for certain groups than he did for blacks. Truthfully, Obama's hands were tied in what he could do for the black community because other groups would be in their feelings. "Why is President Obama doing for black people and not us? What about us?"
