Interview with the Average (Black American) Joe

Interviews with the average (Black American) Joe is a presentation of questions and answers put to and answered through a characterization of an average American black man in today’s society.

Joe may not be real but the feelings and thoughts of the character express the reality of most black American men striving towards making a better way of life for themselves and their families.

These questions were presented in relation to social, political and personal viewpoints from Joe.

Let’s begin

Question: Does President Obama have his ear towards the Black communities concerns and needs?

Joe: I've heard words from the talking heads that the President cannot speak on or directly to the concerns of blacks in this country because he is not just a president of blacks but he is the President of the United States. My question is well damn are you saying he can't muti-task?

Interviewer: Please continue.

Joe: The irony of that whole statement is when has this country ever truly been united?

For those who somehow fooled themselves into thinking we are a nation for advancement of its entire people; you now have seen that since the election of the first Black President (some still question this validity) how divided the United States, its people and its politics really are.

History will show that some of these so and sos would have rather seen the country go down the drain than to follow the lead of a Black President. They will stand before anyone with a camera and try to insult peoples intelligence by saying “oh no race has nothing to do with it it’s about policy”. 'I'm not saying he ain't misplayed his hand a couple of times but come on ya'll he's been called everything but the n-word in public (unless leaked out) but there has been the old code words and plenty of disrespect thrown about. People are not the fools you hope us to be. They label blacks and other minority average income to poverty level citizens welfare cheats that only want free stuff. Please. Politicians are the biggest welfare recipients in this country.

They stay in office for years sucking down campaign money, taxpayer and corporate money while at the same time smiling in your face and giving you the old reach around. Shaking hands with a politician is like getting picked pocketed and stuck in the you know what at the same time. It's almost like the first time you went to the Doctor and he said "now bend over this won't hurt a bit" (Don't flinch). That sting you felt is what the majority of the country is feeling.

The Temptations made a song “Who wants to be like the Jones’s”?

That song should be shooting up the charts in many countries watching what's going on in the U.S. right now.
