Why not issue a single statement or inquire as to why a federal housing project full of single Black mothers and their children were abandoned by the housing authority and the City of West palm Beach. Also related to his characterization of the facts of the Genarlow Wilson case, is it accurate to describe this repeatedly as "a young man having "consensual sex" with his 15 year old girlfriend "" without mentioning that he videotaped the 15 year old girl having sex with his five buddies and then proceeded to sodomize an either intoxicated or passed out 17 year old girl, including asking his friends to take off her shirt and help him drag her into the bathroom. Being a father of two young girls, just what age does Obama feel is the age of consent? Clearly its 15 . But how low will he go before it becomes statutory rape? 14? 13?12? 11? 10? 9? 8? 7? Does Barack Obama really care about violence against Black women and girls? Is he aware that his office said he was going to issue a statement on Dunbar Village on August 7,2007 and he never did?

Why has the Senator been silent about Dunbar Village. Why not issue a single statement or inquire as to why a federal housing project full of single Black mothers and their children were abandoned by the housing authority and the City of West palm Beach.

Also related to his characterization of the facts of the Genarlow Wilson case, is it accurate to describe this repeatedly as “a young man having “consensual sex” with his 15 year old girlfriend “” without mentioning that he videotaped the 15 year old girl having sex with his five buddies and then proceeded to sodomize an either intoxicated or passed out 17 year old girl, including asking his friends to take off her shirt and help him drag her into the bathroom.

Being a father of two young girls, just what age does Obama feel is the age of consent? Clearly its 15 . But how low will he go before it becomes statutory rape? 14? 13?12? 11? 10? 9? 8? 7?

Does Barack Obama really care about violence against Black women and girls?

Is he aware that his office said he was going to issue a statement on Dunbar Village on August 7,2007 and he never did?

I was there I rode a bus for 20 hours. I am a proud active democrat and I would vote for him just because I believe that it is time. Obama is strong contender for President of the United States of American but he didnt come to suport the Jena 6. In my opinion as a trained journalist as well as a political analyst Jena is one of the biggest stories of racial injustice of my day. I mean there has always been a call for racial justice in American and this story is one that hits home to me. Here in Detroit we are fighting insurance redlining, and injustices in our court system: 1) In Detroit we have all white jurors in African American cases. Thats not a jury of our peers. 2)People of color in Detroit rarely even get a jury summons 3) Racist white judges from out county take vaction and use there senority to try case in our city. They can pick the cases that they want they come just to send our young men to jail. So my question is you want to be president and the truth is that you dont need our vote to win. So since you dont need our vote what will you do for us. in Jena, in Atlanta, New Orleans, Detroit ect..... So if he cant come support efforts in a small town with values of Jim Crow...what can he do for me. I am an educated black women who may have sons one day.
