00:00So what grade would you give President Obama?
00:04An F.
00:05Really?
00:06An F.
00:07Across the whole blanket in terms of—
00:08Across the whole blanket.
00:09Okay, let me clarify here.
00:10Would you give him an F as a whole as a president or as it pertains to this movement in particular?
00:14Both.
00:15Because it took this movement for him to actually speak up about black people, for one.
00:20But also, he did not talk anything about black women and girls in his speech at all.
00:25When black women and girls are the most affected by joblessness, right?
00:30He talked about in his State of the Union speech that the private sector has been the highest of job creation in history, right?
00:39But let's think about who's actually most impacted by that job creation and the invisibility of black women and girls in that context.
00:46May I have quick grades from you, Jonovan?
00:48I would give him a C.
00:50A C?
00:51Yeah, as a president overall.
00:53Okay.
00:54Christina?
00:55I'm going to give him a C because he's Obama, obviously, but I am a little disappointed in his State of the Union address.
01:01And he does pick his audiences.
01:03Like, he talked about black women and the importance of black women in America at his CBC speech, but he didn't talk about it in front of the entire world.
01:12The entire world.
01:13Janetta, what grade would you give President Obama?
01:15I would give his presidency an N.A.
01:23I'm still not decided on how I feel about just the entire eight years.
01:29As far as his State of the Union address, I was very disappointed and I tweeted about it that every time protesters are mentioned in this space, in the public space, where all of America is watching, we're always compared to the good police officers.
01:45And it disappointed me because if there were so many good police officers, the movement wouldn't even be what it is today because of police violence in general in America.
01:56I'm not exactly sure how many good police officers are out there is the number of people killed in 2016 so far is already over 20 and over a thousand people were killed in 2015.
