| Should African-Americans vote for President Obama? | Keyword: Unemployment, Politics |

Considering that African-American youth are suffering from a national unemployment rate as high as 46% many people are questioning the effectiveness of Obama's leadership. African-Americans are not a monolithic people; however, Obama did receive the majority of the Black vote in 2008 to become the first non-White president of the Western world. In our forums, a new member posting under the username Intellect has initiated a discussion asking Barutiwa readers "Do you think African-Americans should vote for Obama in 2012?" Well if you're interested in seeing our President work toward improving the Black unemployment rate we think you should register with our site and voice your concerns under this topic. - September 29, 2011.

Those who are interested in West African affairs cannot get an accurate grasp without considering Black America's contribution to modern state building in that region of Africa. Baruti M.
