In anticipation that some readers might dismiss this by saying I’m the wrong color to understand, here are just a few quotes from prominent Black voices:

“Obama posed as a progressive and turned out to be counterfeit. We ended up with a Wall Street presidency, a drone presidency, a national security presidency.”

— Cornel West

“Obama is not the lesser evil, he is the more effective evil. Because he is Black, he is able to do things white presidents could not get away with, like neutralizing Black opposition to imperialism and austerity.”

— Glen Ford, Black Agenda Report

“Obama ended his presidency with Black median wealth lower than when he began… His election became a substitute for real justice and transformation.”

— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Author of “From BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation”

“Obama did more harm than Bush because he made Democrats love war, surveillance, and Wall Street… He put a Black face on imperialism.”

— Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report

“Obama’s legacy for Black America is his greatest disappointment.”

— Tavis Smiley, from his book “The Covenant with Black America
