Sean “Diddy” Combs says blacks have been shortchanged under Obama 2016-09-07T19:23:03-07:00

Sean “Diddy” Combs, the rapper formerly known as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Puffy, and just plain Diddy, isn’t happy with Obama’s presidency. He recently expressed his dissatisfaction with how the black community has fared over the last eight years to none other than the Rev. Al Sharpton.

The rapper turned business mogul said his number one priority is black people and feels that the president didn’t quite meet his expectations of what should’ve been done to help inner city communities:

“I feel like we put President Obama in the White House and when I look back, I just wanted more done for my people because that’s the name of the game. This is politics. You put somebody in office, you get in return the things that you care about for your communities. I think we got a little bit shortchanged. And that’s not knocking the president, a lot’s going on, a lotta balls juggling — he’s done an excellent job. But I think it’s time to turn up the heat.”

Combs didn’t say what he thought was lacking in the black community but like any good Democrat, he apparently expected big things — free things, no doubt.

For the upcoming election, Combs said the black vote would be the deciding factor. As a friend to both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, Combs encouraged blacks to hold their vote and make the candidates come and get it.

“I don’t believe any of them,” Combs added.

He specifically said he feels “hurt” by Clinton for not speaking directly to the black community and urged her to do so quickly.

Even though Combs is from the school of thought that the federal government is the provider of programs for the less fortunate, he took some initiative and opened a charter school in Harlem after seeing a need. That’s the way it should happen! Hopefully Diddy comes to understand that individuals are better at making things happen than the government.
