Tucker Carlson while filling in for Sean Hannity on Fox News said, “Michael Vick should have been executed for killing dogs.” It’s amazing how certain White people want to execute Blacks for killing animals; but the same White people don’t want to do a damn thing about people who kill animals while participating in cock fighting. Let’s not get it twisted, the majority of people who participate in cock fighting are White people; where are the raids and incarceration of them?
Let’s keep in mind that people like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and the rest of the brainwashed followers of Fox News cautioned all of America to wait and allow the facts to come out before we voice our opinion on the murder of Mr. Oscar Grant; A Black man. For those of you don’t know who Oscar grant was, please allow me to lace your boots. Mr. Oscar Grant was a victim of a fatal shooting of a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Police officer in Oakland, CA, by Johannes Mehserle while subdued by another BART police officer; both officers were White. Before this tragedy took place, Mr. Oscar Grant was unarmed, prostrate, and handcuffed. I don’t remember these racists’ pigs calling for the execution for the murderer of Mr. Oscar Grant. This just let me know one thing; the murder of a Black man is less than murdering a dog.
I could go on and on about these subliminal racists (Bill O’Reilly), especially when they talk about illegal immigrants. Somebody please tell me how these White descendants of indentured servants who forefathers sailed to America illegally and discovered the American Indians, have the audacity to question who is in this country legally?
I don’t feel like I need to go on and on, especially to the Tea Party people; because the last time I heard, these poor White trailer trash ass people didn’t hate nobody until a Black man became President.

We Will Get Who Did This...!!!
Does anybody remember the phrase that George Bush uttered, “We will get who did this and bring them to justice, dead or alive?” This statement was made immediately after a few brainwashed Muslim young men were enticed to commit suicide to murder innocent men, women, and children. How many Muslims was murdered in the 9/11 attack is unknown; but what we all know is this, 3,000+ innocent people died because of some kind of ideological belief that Americans are evil, and Muslims are committing deeds in the name of religion. I’m going to get to the subject matter, I just need to clarify some history first and try to convey to others how FAITH and COMMON SENSE have a problem with coinciding; so please bear with me on this one.
What has to happen for knowledgeable people to take a stand and confront the religious right, left, or center and let these people who I consider are children from a lesser GOD know that they are actually brainwashed?
In the Bible it reads (notice I didn’t say, it says) Joshua did to the Canaanites in the east and west, and the Hittites in the mountains as the Lord told him, “Kill all men, women, and children, therefore the children of Israel blood will be pure." Can somebody please explain to me what’s the difference between what Hitler did and what Joshua did?
I said all of that to say this, when it comes down to standing up for something you believe in, as opposed to just spitting out rhetoric; something has to separate the light weights from the heavy weights. Now let’s get to the subject matter.
When George Bush stood on a hill of debris shortly after the 9/11 terror attack, he proclaimed, “We will get who did this, dead or alive.” All Americans, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Green Party, and whoever else, were united in his vow for justice. But as years passed by, all of us just accepted it as empty rhetoric. In the mean time, the first responders were busy at GROUND ZERO breathing in toxic chemicals searching for any survivors.
Now that these brave men and women are suffering the ills of being exposed to deadly chemicals such as asbestos; some Republican members of the House and Senate has the audacity to question the merits of these heroes.
It should piss everybody off how these so called representatives of the people can vote without hesitation to give MILLIONAIRES and BILLIONAIRES a tax cut that will cost approximately $800 Billion; but hesitate to vote for a bill that will cost $7 Billion to give the first responders to 9/11 HEALTH CARE for the suffering they endured to rescue people they didn’t even know.
The Tea Party crazies voted these people back into office, knowing these people don’t care about nobody except those who can finance their campaign to get elected or re-elected. But yet we stand around and look at each other with glazed eyes, and wonder how in the hell out of 30 industrialized countries, our children rank 25th in EDUCATION.
Look no further, the parents of these children are dumber than they are. If we were ranking the parents of our children on knowledge ability; America would be ranked dead last. Think about it, we have a bunch of dumb hillbillies running around with teabags hanging from their hats, yelling about they want their country back. The American Indians wanted their country back; but they were murdered, simply for asking.

We Want Our Country Back!!!
For a few years now, we as a people in America have heard citizens crying out about, “We want our country back.” All of us in the world have the freedom of thought, but everybody in America has the freedom to voice their opinions. Oh yeah, we have laws to abstain us from saying and shouting things to put others in danger with false pretences; but we definitely have freedom of speech. Approximately 50-60 years ago, citizens in America had the freedom to act; it was according to your skin color whether or not you meted out violence or was on the receiving end of it.
I’m trying to figure out exactly who are these people proclaiming at the top of their lungs that they want their country back. My question to these uneducated fools is this, what part of America do you want back, the part your indentured servant ancestors stole from the American Indians, or the part they stole from the Mexicans.
I’m not going to play games with this one. I know for a fact who these people are; they are descendants of indentured servants. These descendants of indentured servants’ ancestors sailed over to the New World on a boat illegally, and the first thing these illegal immigrants did was murder 95% of every American Indian, and 100% of every American buffalo.
But yet, these same poor white trailer trash dumb people, with a few outright brainwashed people of color sharing their ignorant views, have the audacity to question another persons’ legality to be in this country. Just so the uneducated will know, these are the same people who stand guard at the shores of South Florida, and send people who sail here on a boat from Haiti, back! Talk about people who speak with forked tongues.
I’ve decided that I will take a page from the book of the ‘BIRTHERS’ in regards to whether or not President Barack Hussein Obama is in this country legally. The same way these uneducated racists fools are asking for his proof to show his Birth Certificate, I’m asking every descendant of indentured servants to show their papers that make them legally in America.
I’m not asking you to produce your drivers’ license or your birth certificate; I’m asking descendants of illegal indentured servant boat people to show anything that your ancestors left in your possession to make you a legal immigrant in America.
If these boisterous Teabaggers, and their handful of outright ill-informed people of color can’t produce documents to let those of us who are true citizens know they are here legally; then I say let’s rid these illegal people from our American soil.
The same way these indentured servant illegal fools proclaim people from Mexico, Haiti, Guatemala, and other third world countries are here illegally and draining us from jobs and other resources; I say show your papers and prove that you’re not a drain on our resources.
It makes me want to puke when I see and hear people of color have the same views as these white boat people who are here illegally, and act as if they have absolutely no knowledge of history.

Education
Education for our children should be the number one priority today. These are the people who will dictate how we live tomorrow; that’s if we’re lucky enough to see another day. But yet, the politicians we vote into office are more concerned with how they can pass bills for those who will keep them as life long politicians.
It’s amazing to me to see how America is lagging behind the majority of industrialized countries in MATH and SCIENCE; and our politicians are bickering over whether or not we should give tax breaks to the richest of Americans. Have we come to the point that we’re that stupid? I think not; the greedy in this country are willing to do any and everything to make sure that our children in America will live like third world people in the next generation.
If we as shot-callers today don’t stand up, and let the power brokers know that we are not willing to allow our children to live a lesser life that we lived; we’ve failed as a people.
Oh yeah! We can allow our silence to be deafening to Republicans and Democrats, or we as a people can allow our voices to shout out to both Republicans and Democrats to let them know that we as a people will not stand for our children to be second to anyone. We should be fighting to let the powers that be, that our children are 220!!!
I’ll put it to you rough and raw, real people are willing to die for what they believe in. In America today, the majority of us are willing to tie ribbons around trees in our neighborhoods; and proclaim we support the men and women in the military. What in the hell any of you have done other than sent letters and cookies to the troops who are on their third and forth trip to a war zone?
We have our young people in Afghanistan and Iraq; and the rest of us are not sacrificing anything. During World War I, and II, not all, but the majority of Americans got involved in some way to support our soldiers; and they just didn’t party everyday, and tie ribbons around a tree in their front yard.
Like Attorney General Eric Holder said, “We have become a nation of cowards.” We’re too cowardly to build a Mosque near a site where misguided young Muslims were too dumb to know that their elders were misusing them.
We’re too cowardly to put people on trial in the same courts that convicted people who committed hideous crimes equivalent to terrorists. Tim McVeigh, Charles Manson, and the KKK were convicted in our American court system, and they never harmed our citizens again. One note about the KKK, these people bombed churches where little girls were attending Sunday school. I have never heard any of our law makers refer to them as terrorists. Huuum, I wonder why?
There is one reason and one reason only some people are against terrorists being on trial in our civilian courts; it’s all because a Black man is President.
I got a question for you haters, why hasn’t it has never been a Black police officer who shot a White person while they was reaching in their pocket to show their ID, and the Black police officer thought they were reaching for a gun? It’s all about ‘EDUCATION’; or the lack of.

Democrats: The Party of Cowards Part 2
I was all prepared to write about the Wikileaks publishing of classified State Department documents, and how Bristol Palin became a star to dance with the stars, just because her mother quit a job as Governor of Alaska, and Bristol became pregnant while in high school out-of-wedlock. But as I pondered about what to write about; it suddenly hit me, the leaking of the Wikileaks documents, and the Palins short comings in life really doesn’t affect me or my family members as much as the Democrats playing a cowardly role.
On Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, once again I witnessed a Democrat allowing herself to be passive and submissive to a Republican. Instead of Sen. Claire McCaskill (D. MO) explaining how she’s onboard on challenging Republicans as the party of ‘NO’, she was explaining and defending herself to Chris Wallace on Fox News how she doesn’t vote with President Obama and fellow Democrats to pass legislation on behalf of the middle class working people of America. During the same interview, her counterpart, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R. SC) was stuck on saying ‘NO’ to any and everything Democrats put on the table. This is just one thing among many that bring me to the conclusion, that Democrats are a party of cowards.
About a year ago, take a few months, or give a few months, Attorney General Eric Holder made a statement and said, “We are a nation of cowards.” I agree with Attorney General Holder, but he should’ve placed Democrats in parenthesis; because in my opinion, nothing epitomizes cowards more than our present day Democrats. No matter what, the Democrats of today will cave on any and everything the Republicans confront them with. Just like the Tea Party bum-rushed the Republican Party, the Blue Dog Democrats bum-rushed the Democratic Party; and turned us into a Party of cowards.
Democrats had the majority of the Congress, the Senate, and the White House; and they allowed Republicans to stop them from doing anything that would’ve moved our country forward in behalf of everyday working people. Now that Republicans control the House of Representatives, and Democrats holding a small majority in the Senate; we as Democrats are stuck in our cowardly ways. If we as Democrats had more people representing us like Anthony Weiner (D. NY), we would be a much stronger party; but we are stuck with cowards like Ben Nelson (D. NE). I find it hard to see how Democrats can gather their balls to stand up to Republicans.
Once again the cowardly Democrats have caved to Republicans by cutting a deal to continue tax breaks for the richest Americans. It’s a good thing that the unemployment benefits bill was passed, but these tax cuts for the rich have been in play since 2001; but we continue to here Republicans and some Democrats say, “We can’t raise taxes on the people who create jobs.” If the tax cuts for the rich has been working for the past ten years, where in the hell are the jobs? These people are stuck on the Ronald Reagan theory of the trickle down effect, which has never worked for working class Americans.
If Democrats continue to allow the party to be over-run by Democrats like Ben Nelson (D. NE) and Blue Dog Democrats, we will never get anything done for regular working class people; even if we control the House, the Senate, and the White House.
I sympathize with the President because; once again we have the Congressional Black Caucus complaining about what President Obama hasn’t done for the Blacks in their district.
Once again we have the GAY community complaining about what President Obama hasn’t done.
Once again we have some Union groups complaining about what President Obama hasn’t done.
Once again the Latino community is complaining about how the President haven't done enough for their civil rights. I stand firm in my belief that every person in this country, whether they're here legally or illegally deserve human rights. But I refuse to allow any group of people to get away with piggy-backing on Blacks in this country in which their ancestors were kidnapped and turned into SLAVES; while others came to this country on their on, or was brought here by their parents. There is no comparison, so either work with other people of color, or get the hell off of the civil rights mistreatment. This goes for the ancestors of the indentured servants also, who forefathers sailed here on the Mayflower.
What all of these groups fail to understand, President Barack Hussein Obama is the President of all of the people of the United States of America. I beg all of you to stop acting like spoiled brats and work with this man and get something done in this country to put the middle class back to work, and stop the Republicans from helping only MILLIONAIRES and BILLIONAIRES to be the only people prosper in this country.
Republicans have come out on nation wide TV and said their number one goal is to make sure President Obama fail; but yet the cowardly Democrats allow Republicans to get away with demonizing our President. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Bill O’Reiley do their part to demonize this President. However, Bill O’Reiley tries to do his racism subliminally. Bill O’Reiley fake it like he’s above the fray of racism in your face like Ann Coulter and other Tea Party members trying to proclaim they want their country back.
I’ll ask this question for the forty third time, I’ve counted how many times I’ve asked this question, and just like the cowardly Democrats, the Tea Party people haven’t answered either. My question is this, what part of the country does the descendants of indentured servants who sailed over to America and discovered the American Indians was already here.
What part do you want back of this country we call America? Do you want the part your forefathers stole from the American Indians, or do you want the part that your forefathers stole from the Mexicans. The cowardly Republicans can’t answer that question, and the cowardly Democrats will not challenge Republicans about their hero (Christopher Columbus) who discovered the new world that we all call America today.
Like I said, Republicans are roaring like lions, Democrats are purring like kittens. Republican women was crying out during the mid-term elections; ‘Grow some balls Democrats!!!’ Evidently, Democrats didn’t adhere to the call.

The Mid Term Elections
I know the few of you who visit my blog spot every now and then are wondering why I haven’t given my opinion on the out-come of the mid-term elections. Don’t get it twisted, I got an opinion, I just wanted to wait until the Sunday morning pundits put their two cents in. Now that I’ve heard all of the Monday morning quarter-backing, here’s my take on the mid-term elections.
Man did I learn a lesson, those of you who happen to be faint of heart; stop reading now. What I found out was very profound to me.
White people are willing to let the world know that they will do and say anything to let Black people know that they are mad as hell because America got a Black President.
Here’s the cold part, Black people are not willing to let the world know that we are willing to say and do anything to let the world know that we are proud of the first Black President of the United States of America.
It actually amazes me that I know Black people are the strongest race of people on earth physically, but we are the dumbest race of people on earth mentally.
All we do is allow ourselves to be manipulated. We let another human con us to give up twenty percent of our earnings (the Tithes and Offerings) because some other human wrote something in a book (the Bible). The bad part about is this; we’re too dumb to recognize that the person preaching to us already got a pretty Cadillac and a house on top of the hill.
Make no mistake about it, this aint about big government, or the taxes too high, or the President bailing out big banks, or the Health Care Bill (the haters call it Obama-Care), or saving General Motors, or none of the above. This is all about White people hating because there is a Black man that is the President of the United States of America.
I’ll end with this; I get on my knees and beg GOD everyday, if there is a such of thing as reincarnation, please after I die; do not bring me back as a Black person. I rather be a butterfly or a roach.

Message to Democrats
We must vote on November 2, like our lives depend on it, because it does. The Republican party has been hi-jacked by dangerous, radical hate mongers called the "Tea Party". They are led by Glen Beck and Sara Palin who’s only goal is to take down President Obama and the government. In any third world country this would be called a "Coup de Etat". In America we fight "coups" at the ballot box. These people hate Blacks. They hate Latinos. They hate Muslims and have at times made many anti-Semitic statements. They hate Gays. They hate any moderate Republican who might be likely to cooperate with Obama.
Their rallying cry? "We want to take back our country”!! Take it back from whom? American soil is still wet with the blood of our ancestors who fought for our right to vote. And vote we must!
The polls say Republicans are going to win enough votes to take over the Senate and Congress because Democrats lack the enthusiasm to vote. We must get as many people to the polls now as we did to vote for Obama. We don't need enthusiasm; we need to vote out of fear. Fear that these radicals could take this country back to Jim Crow and the hey-day of the Klu-Klux-Klan. Don't think it could happen? Just stay home on Election Day and see what happens to this country.
Time is very short. Don't leave the voting to the other guy. Vote a straight Democratic ticket for your state: Governor, and especially Senator and Congressman. Try to reach as many people as you can, like African drums across America.
Their rallying cry? "We want to take back our country”!! Take it back from whom? American soil is still wet with the blood of our ancestors who fought for our right to vote. And vote we must!

Pat Caddell Rant on President Obama
Pat Caddell, a registered Democrat says he’s had enough with the President’s “hypocrisy” on campaign finance. Pat Caddell went on to say, by the President calling out conservative groups for hurting the integrity of elections by not voluntarily disclosing donors like the Chamber of Commerce and the Koch brothers, reek of McCarthyism. However, Pat Caddell had no comment about the Chamber of Commerce listing Halliburton as a small business to benefit from our tax dollars by qualifying for small business tax breaks. Halliburton is the second largest oilfield services corporation in the world, with operations in more than 70 countries. Halliburton total assets are approximately $14.4 billion.
Well I’ve had enough with “Dick Morris” clones masquerading as Democrats. The only place these people can be found is on Fox News, and we all know what that’s about. Pat Caddell and Doug Shoen, a Democrat pollster, have had nothing but negative commentary for the President from the very first day he took office.
I’ve had enough with supposedly President Obama supporters like Joan Walsh, Adrianna Huffington, and Move On.org continuously complain about how the President haven’t done enough. Move on.org has been quiet since they were reprimanded for saying something negative about General David Petraeus; and the silence by the DNC is deafening and embarrassing. We have the Teabaggers and Republicans roaring like lions while Democrats are purring like little cats.
From the first day President Obama took office, Republicans have proclaimed the President failure is our gain. There-after, the Republicans have been on a campaign of blocking everything the President has tried to do to benefit the lives of working Americans. But yet the media and so called Obama supporters have acted as if they don’t have a clue how our democracy work. Everybody know, except Sarah Palin and Christine O’Donnell that it takes sixty votes in the Senate to get anything passed these days.
Every media outlet knows the Conservative Democrats (Blue Dogs) have been more detrimental to the President’s policies than the Teabaggers and Republicans combined, but we hear nothing from the so called Obama supporters about the damage the Blue Dogs have done to the Democrat Party. By the way, where are the Liberal Republicans; and when did the word Liberal become politically incorrect and the word Conservative become politically correct?
If Democrats don’t get some guts, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Civil Rights Act is repealed. We all know what the Teabaggers want to do, and the way things look, repealing the Civil Rights Act aint far fetched.

Republican “Pledge to America”
• Plan to create jobs: Other than cutting taxes for the rich, there is nothing else, definitely nothing specific on how the jobs will be created. Question: Isn’t these the same people who said they don’t want government nowhere in their lives? Then why in the hell they keep asking President Obama, where are the jobs and keep cashing their unemployment checks that came from the government?
• Plan to stop out-of-control spending and reduce the size of government: Plan will save at least $100 billion in the first year putting us on a path to balance the budget and pay down the debt. Again, nothing specific on what programs would be cut to save $100 billion the first year, or the next ten years. We would have to be fools to allow the same people who got us into this mess to take over and go back to the same policies that placed our country in the dire straits we’re in now.
• Plan to repeal government takeover of health care: We will lower cost and protect American jobs. We will empower small businesses with greater purchasing power. We will protect the doctor patient relationship, and ensure that those with pre-existing conditions gain access to the coverage they need. Once again, lower cost and protect American jobs by doing what? When Republicans are asked, what will they do to ensure those with pre-existing conditions to gain access to coverage, the answer will always be let the market sort it out.
• Plan to reform Congress and restore trust: We will govern differently than past Congresses of both parties. We will require that every bill contain a citation of Constitutional authority. We will give all Representatives and citizens at least three days to read the bill before a vote. We will make sure that the floor schedule and operations reflect the priority of revitalizing the economy, and ensure there is an open process that makes it easier – not harder – to eliminate unnecessary spending on any legislation that spends the people’s money. This one I can agree with everything they propose. The only problem with it is this; the Republicans had eight years to do everything they’re proposing now, and they did nothing. Now all of a sudden they want us to give the present administration less than two years to do everything they failed to do in eight years. What they’re really telling us is just give us a chance to go back to where we were eight years ago, and this time we’re get it right. One will have to be a fool to go for that.
• Plan to keep our nation secure at home and abroad: We will provide the resources, authority, and support our deployed military requirements, fully fund missile defense, and enforce sanctions against Iran. If we let the Republicans and their new found friends, the teabaggers and the ‘Blue Dog Democrats’ tell you this garbage, President Obama have done none of this; nothing can be farther from the truth. Fully fund missile defense against whom? We have an agreement with Russia to lower weapons aimed at each other, so who are we placing defense missiles against, Iran? I challenge complete fools like John Bolton to tell us when did Iran ever attack any nation. And please, don’t give me the foolishness about when Iran rebelled against America for placing a dictator like the Shah of Iran to run their country. That was equivalent to Germany placing a person like Hitler to rule America; we all know we would have taken hostages and anything else to fight back.
We will keep terrorist combatants in Guantanamo Bay not in our local jails and courtrooms. This is the one that remind me of when Attorney General Eric Holder said, “We have become a nation of cowards.” When the Republicans and the teabaggers are asked, “Why can’t we prosecute terrorists and lock them up in our maximum security prisons, they reply, because we’re scared of the big bad terrorists.” This should let you know, the Republicans and the teabaggers are a bunch of cowards. Ok, I already knew that though, George Bush and Dick Cheney proved that with their numerous deferments during the Vietnam War.
Last but not least, our borders are a vital part of our security, so we will act decisively to ensure that the federal government fulfills its constitutional duty to protect our citizens and our Nation. By doing what, encircling the entire country with military troops? We all can talk bold talk about what we intend to do to secure our country; but we need to know specifically what you will do to secure the country. Yet again the Republicans offer empty promises, with no specifics.
A parting word to the party of cowards (Democrats). Now that the scab has been torn off the sore exposing how the phrase ‘Small Business’ has been used by both, the Republicans and the Democrats, perhaps now the ones from either party with guts can stand-up for their constituents instead of their billionaire friends.
How in the hell the largest construction company in the world can be placed on the list of small businesses. I’m talking about Bechtel, this company has an annual profit of billions; but yet the Republicans and Democrats want to give them a tax break.
We as everyday working class citizens have been duped by both parties. I refuse to lower myself to the level of the Republicans and the teabaggers; but I also refuse to be duped by so called conservative Democrats (Ben Nelson and his Blue Dog cohorts) either.
Lastly, a word to Ms. Velma Hart who made national and probably international news by proclaiming! She’s tired of making excuses for President Obama, and this is not the change she voted for.
News flash Ms. Hart, evidently you didn’t pay attention to your civics class when you were in school, or you’re drinking the same kool-aid the teabaggers are drinking.
These days to get anything passed through the Senate, you need to reach the threshold of sixty votes. When all Republicans vote against a bill and one or two ‘Blue Dog Democrats’ vote with Republicans; the bill will fail.
Our downfall as President Obama supporters is this; we’re complaining more than we’re helping. What I mean by that is this, we’re allowing the people who have said, “We will do any and everything to make sure this President fail; his failure is our gain,” to succeed.
The cowardly Democrats have allowed the Republicans to filibuster everything. Republicans told the Democrats in a bold and boisterous voice, “We will not allow any form of reconciliation, and the cowardly Democrats bowed and caved-in to their threats.
But today (September 23, 2010), the leaders in the Republican Party said, “We will definitely incorporate and use reconciliation to our advantage when we become the majority party.” Once again the Republicans have reduced the Democrats to playing a punk role in our society. One can vividly see how it’s becoming harder and harder to garner support for the party of cowards.
For those of you who don’t know, this is how slavery was so prevalent in this country for so long. If you don’t believe me, read the memoirs of Harriet Tubman, “The Queen of the Underground Railroad.”
It definitely wouldn’t be far fetched or even erroneous if most Democrats were on the band-wagon hoping the first Black President failed. If you notice all the ‘Blue Dog Democrats’ are White; think about it.
OH! I forgot, the 99ers, these are the people who have exhausted their unemployment benefits beyond 99 weeks. This means that 1.4 million workers who have been unemployed for 100 weeks or longer receive no unemployment benefits.
The real reason I don’t blame these people for being pissed is because our government have bailed everybody out but the working class people. However, in my opinion I think it’s a grave mistake for these disenfranchised people to put out a statement to say, they will stay at home and won’t vote in the mid-term elections.
Put this next to your brain, if you think you’re being ignored now, just sit at home and pout, and allow the Republicans and the teabaggers to have their way; I guarantee you will be ten-fold worst off than you are now.

Here We Go Again, The Mosque Near Ground Zero
It’s getting to the point that it’s insulting to hear people say the Mosque shouldn’t be near Ground Zero because the majority of Americans don’t want it there.
I expect people like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Pat Buchanan to make such assertions, but a reputable person like David Gergen who has served under numerous Presidents on both sides of the aisle to take a position like that; is definitely beneath him.
For some reason all the people who site the reason the Mosque shouldn’t be near Ground Zero because the majority of Americans don’t want it there, seems to suffer with historical brain damage.
There was a time in this country when the majority of Americans didn’t think slavery should be abolished.
There was a time in this country when the majority of Americans didn’t think women should have the right to vote.
There was a time in this country when the majority of Americans didn’t think Blacks deserve the same rights as Whites.
All the people who argue against the Mosque being near Ground Zero, when asked the question how far away is far enough; they never answer the question.
We have people demanding to know where the funding for the Mosque is coming from; ok that’s fair. However, no one is asking where the funding is coming from for the Minister in Florida who wants to burn Korans.
As for the disregard and lack of sensitivity for the victims of 9/11 by having the Mosque near Ground Zero, what about the insensitivity of the American Muslim citizens who worked in the Trade Center that died when the planes crashed into the buildings?
The people who are against the Mosque being near Ground Zero, are doing nothing more than trying to turn this into Americans against Muslims with no regard for the Muslims who are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq as American men and women of the U.S. Military.

Fox News: Selective Reporting of the News
At least a week has passed us by with some significant issues that were news worthy. A few of them were: (1) Ken Mehlman former Bush Campaign Chief and RNC Chairman has recently come out and admitted he is Gay. Being Gay is no big deal; some Gay people contribute to our everyday lives in a positive manner just like some of us who are not Gay. We got good Gay people, and we have good non-Gay people; and vice versa. The point is this, when we have people in power like Ken Mehlman knowing he is Gay, and worked with Karl Rove and other Bush administration leaders to outright bash Gay people is hypocrisy to the level of criminal. (2) The stabbing of a cab driver by an Israeli, just because the cab driver is Muslim. (3) Dr. Laura Schlessinger using the word NIGGER on her radio show continuously in a negative and vile way to a Black caller trying to seek advice on race relations. Guess what supposedly news organization totally ignored all of the events mentioned above; Fox News.
Just like Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Catholic Priest who raped little boys and girls are not 100% evil. On the flip side, Bible toters and some of my life-long heroes such as my Father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali, and Jesus Christ wasn’t 100% pure and all good. I had to go there so the light weights could get it.
If we as Americans are so dumb that we would go back and vote into power the very people with the same ideas as the previous administration that got us where we are today, I say so be it. If we are stupid enough to allow eight years for the previous administration to ‘F’ things up, and only give the present administration less than two years to try and straighten the mess out the previous administration left us, I say we deserve what we get.
Lastly but not least, the ‘Joe the Plumber’ mentality teabagger members need to stop with the phrase, “Our country was built on Christianity values.” That’s probably true, but those Christianity values were built by people who were SLAVE OWNERS. Our country was built on BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS, and SLAVE labor; the beneficiaries were teabagger fore-fathers.

Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” Speech Commemoration
The late great Dr. Martin Luther King gave us his “I Have a Dream” speech August 28, 1963, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
Today (August 28, 2010), a rally titled, “Reclaim The Dream” led by Rev. Al Sharpton at Dunbar High School, Washington, DC focusing on keeping Dr. King’s dream alive. A few blocks away a rally titled, “Restoring Honor” led by Fox News talk show host Glenn Beck at the Lincoln Memorial focusing on faith, hope, charity, and honor according to Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King who spoke at Beck’s rally. However, the part about hope and charity is far fetched; we all know Beck and his followers have no regard and patience for hope and charity for the underprivileged.
I’ll get straight to the point. For Glenn Beck and his ‘Restoring Honor’ followers to put on a rally with the majority in the crowd who are ‘Gay Bashers’ and ‘Muslim Haters’ is despicable. These people had to be told to leave your hatred racist signs at home, but by all means bring your philosophy of White domination with you. I know some will say, “How can you say White domination when a person like Alveda King is a prominent member of their cause.” We might not want to admit it, but we all have at least one person in our family that we shun. As a matter of fact, let’s talk about the people of color who attended Glenn Beck’s rally.
When you hear Glenn Beck say things on his talk show like, “President Obama has a deep hatred for White people; I just think he’s a racist.” It’s amazing to me how people like Rev. C.L. Jackson, Alveda King, and Lloyd Marcus can associate themselves with a person like Glenn Beck; however, everybody already know Lloyd Marcus is an outright ‘UNCLE TOM’ anyway. It shouldn’t be held against anyone for being Republican or Democrat, it’s their prerogative. It’s just a dam shame that some Blacks don’t possess the ability to think on their own, and not be brainwashed. Don’t get it twisted, some Black Republicans have the ability to utilize their common sense. One in particular who comes to mind is Lenny McAllister, a young man who will let anybody know that he’s a Republican, but he will also let anybody know that he’s his own man. One of the biggest lies ever told was when Glenn Beck said, he didn’t know August 28th was the anniversary of Dr. King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech at the Lincoln Memorial Mall. This was nothing but a blatant racist attempt by Glenn Beck to let Blacks know he could care less than a dam about Dr. King’s anniversary speech.
We have Black Clergy members in our community who is brainwashed by people like Glenn Beck when it comes to the Gay community. These people, most of whom, have been discriminated against themselves, allow a book (the Bible) introduced to them by the very same people who discriminated against their fore-fathers to brainwash them to discriminate against others; how ironic. This is how dumb our Black Clergy members are, they shower people like Sarah Palin with praise, while Sarah Palin is praising Dr. Laura Schlessinger for using the word NIGGER in a degrading manner towards Blacks repeatedly on nation-wide radio to a Black woman seeking advice on race relations.
Make no mistake about it, if we don’t learn to live together as Brothers and Sisters; we will perish together as fools.

The Real Meaning of White Privilege
With the climate in reference to race relations in America today, especially in regards to the 'Mosque Near Ground Zero' controversy, I felt compelled to let people know what this is really about. Read the message below:
For those who still can’t grasp the concept of White privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps the following will help:
White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because 'every family has challenges.' But as Black families with similar 'challenges' are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and contributors to social decay.
White privilege is when you can call yourself an 'f-ing redneck,' like Bristol Palin’s boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with you, you'll 'kick their ‘f-ing ass,' and talk about how you like to 'shoot animals' for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.
White privilege is when you can attend four different colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which she basically failed out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a community college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement. On the other hand a person of color who did this would be viewed as unfit for college, and someone who was only accepted in the first place was because of affirmative action.
White privilege is when you can claim that being Mayor of a town smaller than most medium-sized colleges, and then Governor of a state with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of the island of Manhattan, makes you ready to potentially be President. However, while being a Black U.S. Senator, two-term state Senator, and constitutional law scholar, means you’re 'untested.'
White privilege is being able to say that you support the words 'under God' in the pledge of allegiance because 'if it was good enough for the founding fathers, it’s good enough for me,' and not be immediately disqualified from holding office--since, after all, the pledge was written in the late 1800s and the 'under God' part wasn't added until the 1950s--while believing that reading accused criminals and terrorists their rights (because, ya know, the Constitution, which you used to teach at a prestigious law school requires it), is a dangerous and silly idea only supported by mushy liberals.
White privilege is being able to be a gun enthusiast and not make people immediately scared of you. White privilege is being able to have a husband who was a member of an extremist political party that wants your state to secede from the Union, and whose motto was 'Alaska first,' and no one questions your patriotism or that of your family, while if you're Black and your spouse merely fails to come to a 9/11 memorial so she can be home with her kids on the first day of school, people immediately think she’s being disrespectful.
White privilege is being able to make fun of community organizers and the work they do--like, among other things, fight for the right of women to vote, or for civil rights, or an end to child labor; you’re being tough. But if you merely question the experience of a small town Mayor and 18-month Governor with no foreign policy expertise beyond a class she took in college you’re somehow being mean, or even sexist.
White privilege is being able to convince White women who doesn't even agree with you on any substantive issue to vote for you and your running mate anyway, because all of a sudden your presence on the ticket has inspired confidence in these same White women, and made them give your party a 'second look.'
White privilege is being able to fire people who didn't support your political campaigns and not be accused of abusing your power or being a typical politician who engages in favoritism. But if you’re Black and merely knowing some folks from the old-line political machines in Chicago means you must be corrupt.
White privilege is being able to attend churches over the years whose Pastors say that people who voted for John Kerry or merely criticize George W. Bush are going to hell, and the U.S. is an explicitly Christian nation and the job of Christians is to bring Christian theological principles into government, and who bring in speakers who say the conflict in the Middle East is God’s punishment on Jews for rejecting Jesus, and everyone can still think you’re just a good church-going Christian. But if you’re Black and friends with a Black Pastor who has noted (as have Colin Powell and the U.S. Department of Defense) that terrorist attacks are often the result of U.S. foreign policy and who talks about the history of racism and its effect on Black people; you’re an extremist who probably hates America.
White privilege is not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is when asked by a reporter, and then people get angry at the reporter for asking you such a 'trick question,' while being Black and merely refusing to give one-word answers to the queries of Bill O’Reilly means you’re dodging the question, or trying to seem overly intellectual and nuanced.
White privilege is being able to claim your experience as a POW has anything at all to do with your fitness for President, while being Black and experiencing racism is, as Sarah Palin has referred to it, a 'light' burden.
White privilege is when you draw thousands to hear your speeches, you're deemed the best thing that ever happened to America. But if you're Black and draw thousands to hear your speeches, you're labeled as uppity, aloof, presumptuous, and arrogant.
And finally, White privilege is the only thing that could possibly allow someone to become President when he has voted with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time, even as unemployment is skyrocketing, people are losing their homes, inflation is rising, and the U.S. is increasingly isolated from world opinion, just because White voters aren't sure about that whole 'change' thing. Ya know, it’s just too vague and ill-defined, unlike, say, four more years of the same, which is very concrete and certain.
White privilege is, in short, the problem.

BLACK WOMEN
Let me state up-front, I love Black women, especially when they’re chocolate; they don’t have to be chocolate in color, but they have to be chocolate in spirit. I’ve witnessed a troubling trend for the past five to ten years in regards to my beautiful Black sisters. For some reason, as far as I’m concerned, they seem as if they don’t appreciate their GOD given natural beauty. I guess I got to try to explain where I’m coming from so the dumbest person in the class can get it.
It’s annoying to me, however it’s probably fine to mentally light weight Black guys and some White guys looking to hit on Black women; but as for me, I prefer women with the GOD given beauty. I’m not saying I’m against Black women enhancing their beauty; I’m just saying I’m against Black women going out of their way to embellish their beauty. The operative phrase is, “Going out of their way” to enhance their beauty. This is hard, because I’m trying hard not to offend the very people that I adore so much. OK, let’s delve off into this.
I look at most Black anchor women on TV, most Black actresses, and last but definitely not least, Black professional women; from my perspective Black women are going out of their way to look like a White woman with Farrah Fawsett hair. I see our beautiful Black sisters with hair down their backs, moving their false hair out of their eyes on nation-wide TV; knowing all along everybody knows their hair is false. I’m also turned off with some sisters with the long ‘Rastafarian Dreadlocks’ all down their backs.
What the hell happened to being proud of the GOD given beauty you slithered through the ‘Fallopian Tube’ with? Make no mistake about it, real men are attracted to real women who are proud of who they are; not who they try to emulate. The message is simple, just be yourself, that’s usually all real men want from you. Don’t take this personal, I’m just talking in general; but I’m serious also.
Luv ya, later.

The Mosque: Most Are Missing The Point
I tried my best to stay away from the ‘Mosque near Ground Zero’ controversy. My reasoning is simple, as a Black American who was raised in the 1950’s; I know first hand what discrimination feels like and how it affects those who have been, and those who are continuously being discriminated against today. Nearly everyone on both ends of the spectrum are misconstruing what the real controversy is about. Since Barack Hussein Obama became President, race relations in America have plummeted to an all time low; it’s not his fault because he was born Black. The descendants of indentured servants need to get over it.
Everyday since the ‘Mosque Near Ground Zero’ became a focal point in the media, it became apparent this would blossom into a controversy. Now all of a sudden the debate is whether or not President Obama is a Muslim is the news story of the day. The majority of Americans know the President is a Christian, but the media gives the low percentage of poor White trash of Americans a platform to spew their hatred towards this President. Rev. Franklin Graham, the son of the late Rev. Billy Graham is feeding hatred to those of the ‘Birther Movement’ of whether or not the President is a Muslim. The President rightfully weighed in on the Mosque controversy, albeit sloppily put, but the right thing to do never the less. Now all of a sudden, the left wing and the right wing poll numbers shot-up to show that now they believe the President is a Muslim. Where in the Constitution does it say that one has to be a Christian to be President of this diverse great nation?
We have, mostly Tea Bagger members shouting about they want their country back. This kind of rhetoric is the reason why our youths lag behind the rest of the industrialized world in intelligence. For some reason somebody forgot to inform these descendants of indentured servants who sailed to America, only to discover the American Indians was already here, and therefore they don’t have a country to reclaim.
I hear left wing and right wing people talk about, it’s not about whether or not Muslims have the right to open a Mosque near ‘Ground Zero’; it’s about sensitivity. Let’s discuss sensitivity for a minute or two. Since the attack on 9/11 touched approximately every religious denomination that lost their lives on that day, should we protest against a Christian Church or a Synagogue being constructed near ‘Ground Zero’? Then we hear these same people, left wing and right wing, have the audacity to say, “the majority of Americans are against the Mosque being constructed near Ground Zero, so therefore they should move it farther away from Ground Zero.”
There was a time in this country when the majority of Americans believed Blacks was merely a piece of property; do with them whatever their ‘SLAVE OWNER’ saw fit.
There was a time in this country when the majority of Americans believed Blacks shouldn’t have any ‘Freedom of Rights’ in America.
There was a time in this country when the majority of Americans believed it was a good thing when there were ‘Black Only’ signs and ‘White Only’ signs posted throughout every government building and places of public businesses.
There was a time in this country when the majority of Americans believed ‘Women’ shouldn’t have the same rights as men; kind of borders on the same line as Talibanism.
Does this mean since the majority of Americans believe the Mosque shouldn’t be constructed near Ground Zero, we should just say, “Oh well, the majority has spoken, so let it be written, so let it be done?’ I could go on and on about why ignorance seems to prevail in this country, but it should be obvious to everybody, if the parents are stupid, their children will likely be just as stupid.

Iraq War: Was It Worth It
As the first convoy of the last combat troops pulled out of Iraq in the wee hours of Tuesday (August 17, 2010) night, the question must be asked, “Was it worth it?” Before I offer my opinion on whether or not the war in Iraq was worth it, let me point out some facts. (1.) We declared war on a country based on a lie; Iraq had nothing to do with the attack on 9/11. (2.) Over 4,000 brave military men and women lost their lives in Iraq, and no weapons of mass destruction were found. (3.) As of today, right now, there’s no functioning government in Iraq. (4.) Over 80% of Iraqis feel that their country is worse off today than it was before we invaded. (5.) The effort in Afghanistan has deteriorated because we invaded Iraq.
In my opinion when I look at the facts, Iraq was definitely not worth it. Everybody in the Bush administration who pushed for the Iraq war should be charged with 4,000 counts of first degree murder.

A Moment in Black History
The Date Was June 1, 1921
"BLACK WALL STREET"
The name fittingly given to one of the most affluent All-BLACK Communities in America, was bombed from the air and burned to the ground by mobs of envious Whites.
In a period spanning fewer than 12 hours, a once thriving Black Business District in northern Tulsa lay smoldering, a model community destroyed and a major African-American economic movement resoundingly defused. The night's carnage left some 3,000 African Americans dead and over 600 successful businesses lost. Among these were 21 Churches, 21 Restaurants, 30 Grocery Stores and 2 Movie Theaters, plus a Hospital, a Bank, a Post Office, Libraries, Schools, Law Offices, a half dozen Private Airplanes and even A Bus System. As could have been expected, the impetus behind it all was the infamous Ku Klux Klan, working in consort with ranking city officials and many other sympathizers.
The best description of BLACK WALL STREET, or Little Africa as it was also known, would be to compare it to a mini - Berverly Hills. It was the golden door of the BLACK community during the early 1900s, and it proved that African Americans could create a successful infrastructure. That's what BLACK WALL STREET was all about. The dollar circulated 36 to 100, sometimes taking a year for currency to leave the community. Now a dollar leaves the BLACK community in 15-minutes. As far as resources, there were Ph.D.'s residing in Little Africa, BLACK attorneys and doctors. One doctor was Dr. Berry who owned the bus system. His average income was $500 a day, which was a hefty piece of pocket change in 1910.
It was a time when the entire State of Oklahoma had only 2 Airports, yet 6 BLACKS, owned their own planes. It was a very fascinating community. The mainstay of the community was to educate every child. Nepotism was the one word they believed in; and that's what we need to get back to. The main thoroughfare was Greenwood Avenue, and it was intersected by Archer and Pine Streets. From the first letters in each of those three names you get G.A.P. and that's where the renowned R and B music group 'The GAP Band' got its name. They're From Tulsa.
BLACK WALL STREET was a prime example of the typical, BLACK community in America that had businesses, but it was in an unusual location. At the time, Oklahoma was set aside to be a BLACK and Indian State, there were over 28 BLACK Townships there. One third of the people who traveled in the terrifying "Trail of Tears" along side the Indians between 1830 and 1842 were BLACK people. The citizens of this proposed Indian and BLACK state chose a BLACK Governor and a Treasurer from Kansas named McDade. But the Ku Klux Klan said that if he assumed office that they would kill him within 48 hours. A lot of BLACKS owned farmland, and many of them had gone into the oil business. The community was so tight and wealthy because they traded dollars hand-to-hand, and because they were dependent upon one another as a result of the Jim Crow Laws. It was not unusual that if a resident's home accidentally burned down, it could be rebuilt within a few weeks by neighbors. This was the type of scenario that was going on day-to-day on BLACK WALL STREET.
When BLACKs intermarried into the Indian culture, some of them received their promised '40 Acres and a Mule' and with that came whatever oil was later found on the properties of BLACK WALL STREET. A lot of global business was conducted, the community flourished from the early 1900s until June 1, 1921.. That's when the largest massacre of non-military Americans in the history of this country took place, and it was lead by The KU KLUX KLAN.
Imagine walking out of your front door and seeing 1,500 homes being burned. It must have been amazing. Survivors that were interviewed think that the whole thing was planned because during the time that all of this was going on; White families with their children stood around the borders of their community and watched the massacre. The looting and everything, much in the same manner they would watch a Lynching. The riots weren't caused by anything Black or White; It was caused by jealousy. A lot of White people had come back from World War I and they were poor. When they looked over into the BLACK communities and realized that BLACK men who fought in the war had come home heroes, that helped trigger the destruction.
It cost the BLACK community everything, and not a single dime of restitution, no insurance claims has been awarded the victims to this day; nonetheless, they rebuilt. It has been estimated 1,500 to 3,000 people were killed, a lot of them were Buried in mass graves all around the city. Some were thrown into the river, as a matter of fact, at 21st Street and Yale Avenue, where there now stands a Sears Parking Lot, that corner used to be a Coal Mine. Many of the bodies were just dumped into Mine Shafts.
TULSA, Oklahoma (CNN)
Beulah Smith and Kenny Booker, two elderly Oklahomans, lived through one of the worst race riots in U.S. history, a rarely mentioned 1921 Tulsa blood bath that officially took thousands of African American lives. The Tulsa Race Riot Commission, formed two years ago to determine exactly what happened, will consider next week the controversial issue of what, if any, reparations should be paid to the known survivors of the riot. A group of less than 100 that includes Beulah Smith, now 92, and Kenny Booker, 86.
'The Gun Went Off, the Riot Was On'
On the Night of May 31,1921, mobs called for the lynching of Dick Rowland, A Black Man who shined shoes, after hearing reports that on the previous day he had assaulted Sarah Page, a White woman, in the elevator she operated in a downtown building. A local newspaper, had printed a fabricated story that Rowland tried to rape Page. In an editorial, the same newspaper said a hanging was planned for that night. As groups of both Blacks and Whites converged on the Tulsa courthouse, a White man in the crowd confronted an armed Black man, a war veteran, who had joined with other Blacks to protect Rowland.
Commissioner member Eddie Faye Gates told CNN what happened next.
"This White Man," she said, asked the Black man, "What are you doing with this gun?" "I'm going to use it if I have to," the Black man said, according to Gates, "and the White man said, 'No, you're not. Give it to me,' and he tried to take it. The gun went off, the White man was dead, The Riot Was On."
Truckloads of Whites set fires and shot Blacks on sight. When the smoke lifted the next day, more than 1,400 homes and businesses in Tulsa's Greenwood District, a prosperous area known as the "Black Wall Street," lay in ruins.
Today, only a single block of the original buildings remains standing in the area. Experts now estimate that at least 3,000 died.
'We're in a heck of a lot of trouble' Beulah Smith was 14 years old the night of the riot. A neighbor named Frenchie came pounding on her family's door in a Tulsa neighborhood known as "Little Africa" that also went up in flames.
"Get your families out of here because they're, killing Niggers uptown," she remembers Frenchie saying. "We hid in the weeds in the Hog Pen," Smith told CNN. People in a mob that came to Kenny Booker's house asked, "Nigger, do you have a gun?" he told CNN. Booker, then a teen-ager, hid with his family in their attic until the home was torched. "When we got downstairs, things were burning. My sister asked me, 'Kenny, is the world on fire?' I said, 'I don't know, but we're in a heck of a lot of trouble, baby." Another Riot Survivor, Ruth Avery, who was 7 at the time, gives an account matched by others who told of bombs dropped from small airplanes passing overhead. The explosive devices may have been dynamite or molotov cocktails, gasoline filled bottles set afire and thrown as grenades. "They'd throw it down and when it would hit, it would burst into flames," Avery said. Only A single block remains of the 1,400 homes and businesses that made up the area known as the 'Black Wall Street'. Many of the survivors mentioned bodies were stacked like cord wood, says Richard Warner of the Tulsa Historical Society. In its search for the facts, The Commission has literally been trying to dig up the truth. Two headstones at Tulsa's Oaklawn Cemetery indicate that riot victims are buried there. In an effort to determine how many, archeological experts in May used ground-piercing radar and other equipment to test the soil in a search for unmarked graves. The test picked up indications that hundreds of people have been buried in an area just outside the cemetery.

A DAM SHAME
As a Black man, every time I read an article like this, the more I hate my own people. Make no mistake about it, gang members are outright cowards; it’s a proven fact. They’re too scared to fight one-on-one, so what does these cowards do, not only do they get strapped, but they have to have their gang members with them also. These bunch of cowards know for a fact their fight game is triple zero, this is the reason they don’t go knuckle-to-knuckle.
My main reason for being outraged about this is because some supposedly leadership group is going to try and blame these cowards’ actions on some kind of socialism or slavery bullshit. If these stupid fools want to kill each other, go ahead, but when you start killing little babies, this put you in the category of the KKK blowing up churches with little girls in it.
The same way I wanted to hunt down KKK members and put a hole through their brain, when I read articles like this, it makes me want to hunt down gang members and treat them the same way. The KKK don’t hate Black people just because they’re Black anymore, they hate Black people these days because they don’t get a chance to kill Black people anymore; you ignorant NIGGERS are doing all the killing for them. It’s a reason why the world views Black people as the dumbest race of people on earth. Please don’t give me the bullshit about there are other gang members other than Black gang members; take care of your own house first you dam fool.

The House of Representatives cut short their August recess to pass a $26 billion state jobs bill targeting teachers and Medicaid. The bill passed 247 to 161, mostly on a party line vote. Detractors of the bill argue the bill benefits unions only, backers of the bill argue the bill is needed to save teachers jobs.
On the subject of union haters, I’d like to see the people who are against unions to vow not to send their children to any school whose teachers are represented by unions.
I would like to see the union haters to vow when they are victims of a crime, to tell the dispatcher on the other end of their 911 call not to send any police officers who are represented by unions.
I would like to see the union haters to vow when their house is burning down, to tell the dispatcher on the other end of their 911 call not to send any firefighters who are represented by unions.
We all know that will never happen, but if the union haters don’t do what I said above; they are bona fide, 100% hypocrites.

Was it a Sinister Ploy by White People?
I know on its face this seems far fetched, but stay with me on this one. Let me state up-front, I’m not big on conspiracy theories. However, after certain events over the past year and a half, I thought it was a question worth asking, and a subject worth discussing. Let’s face facts; President Obama received 85%-90% of the Black vote for President. The President could have received 100% of the Black vote, but without a large number of the White vote; he would not be the first Black President, that’s a fact.
Since Barack Hussein Obama became President, the Tea Party has gained strength and recognition. We have angry mobs (98% White people), marching up and down the streets of American cities with hideous hate banners of the President shouting they want their country back. Exactly who took their country from them before they stole it from the American Indians; that’s anybody’s guest. The angry mob also proclaim they don’t want the government anywhere in their lives, but they’re out there everyday complaining about how the government haven’t created jobs for them; maybe they’re just schizophrenic. White people are making claims that the Obama administration circulated memos instructing his Civil Rights Division not to pursue claims brought by Whites against Blacks. Keep in mind that there haven’t been any documents produced to support such a racist accusation, but the media gave us a daily dose of this crap anyway, solely on the word of a right-wing plant. Since Barack Hussein Obama became President, race relations in America have definitely deteriorated. One of the main reasons race relations have nose-dived, is because some White people are angry simply because the President is Black. Anybody with a clear thinking brain knows for a fact if the President was White, race relations wouldn’t be as incendiary as it is today.
When you look at what has transpired since Barack Hussein Obama became President, it’s not easy to dismiss the thought that some Whites knew with Obama having at least 85% of Black voters under his belt, and if a large number of Whites voted for him also; it was a cinch for him to win. Therefore, perhaps some Whites hatched a sinister plot to put a Black man in the White House, just so they could do any and everything to make sure he failed. This would allow some devious Whites to proclaim that Blacks shouldn’t be in charge of anything. Think about it, with what have materialized since January 20, 2009 (Inauguration Day), perhaps it’s not far fetched.

Judge Blocks Parts of Arizona's Immigration Law
I think it was a good thing Judge Susan Bolton blocked the most controversial parts of Arizona’s immigration law. However, I have strong positions on both sides of the law; I’ll get to that later. The aspects of the law the judge blocked was clearly a form of racial profiling. Everyone should speak-out against racism and discrimination where ever and when ever it occurs; especially those of us who have been a victim of it.
We have politicians like Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), who have jumped all over the map on the immigration issue. Any direction the political winds are blowing, so goes McCain. Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California), says he’s all for comprehensive immigration reform, but he’s against amnesty; exactly what that mean, who knows. Does it mean no pathway to citizenship, and the government just round-up approximately 15 million people and send them back to their country of origin? Does it mean the illegal immigrants who have been here 20 years and their children was born here, do we kick the parents out and allow their children to stay?
Everybody with common sense knows what this is about. For those of you who prefer to play the dumb role, let me lace your boots. All of this is about the Tea Party members, Republicans, and the outright racists trying to scare other Whites into believing people of color are trying to take over the country. If people of color do succeed in becoming prominent in leading roles in this country, are you scared they will enslave you? This is the same argument White South Africans made when apartheid was abolished, it didn’t happen? This country had 400 years of slavery, 100 years of Jim Crow, 18 months of a Black President, and now all of sudden, be scared White people, the people of color are coming; give me a break.
Some politicians who play to the crowd says, secure the border first, and then deal with immigration reform. My question is this, why can’t we do both simultaneously? All this talk about securing the border is equivalent to having to do what German guards did at the Berlin wall standing guard with Uzi machine guns. Until politicians clearly define exactly what they mean when they say no amnesty; nothing will be done in regards to immigration reform.
Here are my strong positions regarding immigration, legal and illegal. Every city and state in this country is plagued with Spanish gangs, Black gangs, Asian gangs, Indian American gangs, and Aryan gangs. I’m going to focus on Spanish, Black, and Aryan gangs to make my point. Everyday we either see or hear about Spanish gangs and Black gangs killing each other. It’s as if when they go to buy guns and bullets, they ask for the guns and bullets to kill Spanish and Black people only. Oh I’m sure the Aryan gangs do their amount of damage also, but we never hear about that. While Spanish and Black gangs are killing each other, Aryan gangs are sitting back hating both of you dam fools; what’s worse, they’re laughing at your dumb asses.
The question to both of you ignorant stupid ass fools (Spanish and Black gangs), why do you hate each other so much?

First Black Elected Politician in Russia
(AP Photo/Sergey Ponomarev)
NOVOZAVIDOVO, Russia — People in this Russian town used to stare at Jean Gregoire Sagbo because they had never seen a black man. Now they say they see in him something equally rare – an honest politician. Sagbo last month became the first black to be elected to office in Russia.
In a country where racism is entrenched and often violent, Sagbo's election as one of Novozavidovo's 10 municipal councilors is a milestone. But among the town's 10,000 people, the 48-year-old from the West African country of Benin is viewed simply a Russian who cares about his hometown. He promises to revive the impoverished, garbage-strewn town where he has lived for 21 years and raised a family. His plans include reducing rampant drug addiction, cleaning up a polluted lake and delivering heating to homes.
"Novozavidovo is dying," Sagbo said in an interview in the ramshackle municipal building. "This is my home, my town. We can't live like this."
"His skin is black but he is Russian inside," said Vyacheslav Arakelov, the mayor.
"The way he cares about this place, only a Russian can care."
Sagbo isn't the first black in Russian politics. Another West African, Joaquin Crima of Guinea-Bissau, ran for head of a southern Russian district a year ago but was heavily defeated. Crima was dubbed by the media "Russia's Obama." Now they've shifted the title to Sagbo, much to his annoyance. "My name is not Obama. It's sensationalism," he said. "He is black and I am black, but it's a totally different situation."
Inspired by communist ideology, Sagbo came to Soviet Russia in 1982 to study economics in Moscow. There he met his wife, a Novozavidovo native. He moved to the town about 100 kilometers (65 miles) north of Moscow in 1989 to be close to his in-laws. Today he is a father of two, and negotiates real estate sales for a Moscow conglomerate. His council job is unpaid. Sagbo says neither he nor his wife wanted him to get into politics, viewing it as a dirty, dangerous business, but the town council and residents persuaded him to run for office. They already knew him as a man of strong civic impulse. He had cleaned the entrance to his apartment building, planted flowers and spent his own money on street improvements. Ten years ago he organized volunteers and started what became an annual day of collecting garbage. He said he feels no racism in the town. "I am one of them. I am home here," Sagbo said.
He felt that during his first year in the town, when his 4-year-old son Maxim came home in tears, saying a teenage boy spat at him. Sagbo ran outside in a rage, demanding that the spitter explain himself. Women sitting nearby also berated the teenager. Then the whole street joined in.
Russia's black population hasn't been officially counted but some studies estimate about 40,000 "Afro-Russians." Many are attracted by universities that are less costly than in the West. Scores of them suffer racially motivated attacks every year – 49 in Moscow alone in 2009, according to the Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy Task Force on Racial Violence and Harassment, an advocacy group.
After the Soviet Union collapsed, Novozavidovo's industries were rapidly privatized, leaving it in financial ruin. High unemployment, corruption, alcoholism and pollution blight what was once an idyllic town, just a short distance from the Zavidovo National Park, where Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev take nature retreats.
Denis Voronin, a 33-year-old engineer in Novozavidovo, said Sagbo was the town's first politician to get elected fairly, without resorting to buying votes
"Previous politicians were all criminals," he said. A former administration head – the equivalent of mayor in rural Russia – was shot to death by unknown assailants two years ago. The post is now held by Arakelov, a veteran of the Soviet war in Afghanistan who says he also wants to clean up corruption. He says money used to constantly disappear from the town budget and is being investigated by tax police.
Residents say they pay providers for heat and hot water, but because of ineffective monitoring by the municipality they don't get much of either. The toilet in the municipal building is a room with a hole in the floor.
As a councilor, Sagbo has already scored some successes. He mobilized residents to collect money and turn dilapidated lots between buildings into colorful playgrounds with new swings and painted fences.
As he strolled around his neighborhood everyone greeted him and he responded in his fluent, French-African-accented Russian. Boys waved to Sagbo, who had promised them a soccer field.
Sitting in the newly painted playground with her son, Irina Danilenko said it was the only improvement she has seen in the five years she has lived here. "We don't care about his race," said Danilenko, 31. "We consider him one of us."

IS THIS RACISM OR IGNORANCE?
Recent polls show President Obama’s poll numbers are on a steady decline. The vast majority of the population that the President is losing are White working class men. Recently the support of White women has dropped to an all time low also. Why the steady decline by White people? I’ll share my views on that particular subject in a few minutes; but first a few facts.
According to the Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll, In January 2010, the President’s job approval was 65%. Today, the President’s job approval is 45%; Gallop is pretty much the same. When it comes to White men, 82% disapprove of the job the President is doing; White women disapproval of the job the President is doing is 77%. Although 46% of Americans believe President Obama’s policies will do more to help the economy improve, as opposed to just 29% believe continuing former President Bush’s policies will do more to help the economy improve; we still get mixed messages. Here’s why I ask the question, is this racism or ignorance. A recent poll by Gallop asked, If the election was held today, would you vote for a Democrat or Republican; 46% said they would vote Republican, 45% said they would vote Democrat.
When I read these poll numbers, and dig a little deeper on why these people would vote the way they say they will vote, and why; it actually makes me think that all of these people are suffering from “Joe The Plumber” mentality. After eight years of proof that former President Bush’s policies wrecked the economy, approximately half of Americans want Bush’s policies to return; tax breaks for the rich, and the benefits for the middle class will trickle down. It almost seems as if the pollsters are polling Tea Party members and Independents only. It’s hard for me to believe the people who were put on hold by Republicans for months in regards to passing the bill for extending unemployment benefits for out-of-work Americans, want to vote for Republicans.
So you tell me, is this racism or ignorance?

Andrew Breitbart Dishonest Hit Tape On Shirley Sherrod
I know some of you will read this article and say, “This is old news.” I won’t waste your time talking about what a racist blogger did; instead I’ll focus on what the media is doing now.
News organizations for the past few days have shifted from demonizing Fox News and racists like Andrew Breitbart for their dishonest hit peace on Shirley Sherrod, to trying to make President Obama culpable for the actions of what a racist right wing blogger did. I agree Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and the Obama Administration acted too quickly by firing Shirley Sherrod on the word of a racist blogger and Fox News. However, I do believe the same news organizations would have branded the Obama Administration as showing racial bias in favor of Blacks if the administration hadn’t acted quickly. Especially in light of whistleblower and far right-wing plant, former DOJ attorney J. Christian Adams testifying to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission implying the Obama Administration has (instituted a policy against protecting the civil rights of White Americans).
If you watched the news for the past couple of days, you would think President Obama posted the edited tape on YouTube to embarrass Shirley Sherrod; and then turned around and fired her. I’ve come to the conclusion that no matter what this President does, some in the media will hate him no matter what.

Was 9/11 The Worst Terrorist Attack In America's History?
I’m going to try to put this in a way so the dumbest person in the class can get it.
I was surfing through channels and came up on ESPN right at the time Jim Rome was on. Jim Rome has a show on ESPN, which is called Rome Is Burning. One of the things Jim Rome was burning about was Dwayne Wade’s comment, in which he stated, “If we as the new big three lose four or five games in a row, the media will try to act like it’s bigger than 9/11.”
I admit that there is no way that a sporting event can be compared to the tragedy that took place on 9/11. OK, I agree with Jim Rome that Dwayne Wade made a poor judgment in analogy in his comparison with a sporting event and 9/11. However, Jim Rome wouldn’t let well enough do, Jim Rome went on to condemn Dwayne Wade by saying, “The 9/11 event was the worst terrorist attack in America’s history, and for Dwayne Wade to even speak of 9/11 and a sporting event are equivalent, is appalling.”
Real Talk time, first of all, 9/11 was not the worst terrorist attack in America’s history; and hell no, I’m not talking about the Japanese unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. I’m talking about the years of the first and the worst terrorists to hit America. Don’t sit there and act as if you don’t have a clue of who I’m talking about. Everybody in the world know the worst terrorists to hit America was, and still is to this day are the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). The terrorist attack on 9/11 murdered approximately 3,000 innocent people. The first terrorists, the KKK to invade this country murdered millions; so it’s inconceivable how the attack on 9/11 can be the worst terrorist attack in America’s history. The main reason 9/11 is continuously being referred to as the worst terrorist attack in this country’s history; is because the media refuse to acknowledge the KKK as a terrorist organization.
A word about the teabaggers. I get the racist ass teabaggers point; they’re just pissed-off because a Black man is the President. What I don’t get are the brainwashed UNCLE TOMS like Ken Blackwell, the former secretary of the state of Ohio. In my opinion ignorant people of color like Mr. Blackwell is actually a form of birth defect.

Fox News And The New Black Panther Party
Strap your thinking cap on, it’s time to rant. I intend to cover everything from Fox News problems with the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). What I’m about to say is not for the meek, this is about people who can agree to disagree; it really doesn’t matter if you’re jet Black or White as snow. The prerequisite of reading this article is that you have to be a critical thinker; light weights need not to apply.
Let’s start with Megan Kelly of Fox News with her infatuation of the NBPP intimidation of voters in 1998. I heard this woman say on national TV (Fox News) that she has nine years of legal knowledge and a few years of journalism under her belt. She proclaim that a whistle blower testified under oath that the Obama administration has a document stating that if it’s a Civil Rights claim against a Black by a White; they will not prosecute. Sounds like reverse discrimination to me, but neither Megan Kelly nor the whistle blower can produce any evidence that a document by the Obama administration exist to coincide with their ridiculous claims. What this woman and Fox News are trying to imply is that the Obama administration has an agenda geared towards taking care of Black people, and White people are second on President Obama’s agenda. These people actually think clear thinking Americans are too dumb to see through their subliminal racism.
I said all of that to say this, the dumb bitch, Megan Kelly of Fox News who touts herself as a journalist failed to check and see that it was Attorney General Michael Bernard Mukasey, a George Bush nominee, who decided that it was insufficient evidence to prosecute members of the NBPP of voter intimidation. What other evidence we need to know that (1): This is a dumb racist bitch; and (2): This is an ignorant bitch masquerading as a journalist. Here’s what’s really happening, Bill O’Reilley came to Fox News with incendiary rhetoric in regards to progressive Americans, and became one of the top right wing heroes. A little punk like Sean Hannity picked up on it and decided, if Bill O’Reilley can be successful at it; why not me. Shortly afterwards, along comes an outright nobody by the name of Glen Beck and piggy-backed off of the aforementioned ass-holes, and walla, all of a sudden he’s famous. Now we have this dumb bitch by the name of Megan Kelly thinking she can do the same thing by lying about the facts in regards to the NBPP.
The NAACP calling racist remnants out within the Tea Party movement. My question to the NAACP, what the hell took you so long? It’s like the cop said in the Casablanca movie, “I’m shocked, I didn’t know gambling was going on in here.” Once again Fox News is at the forefront trying to act like what’s the big deal, so what if it’s a little racism going on within the Tea Party. Not one of the NAACP spokespersons says anything about the whole of the Tea Party is racists. The NAACP went out of their way to point out that the leadership within the Tea Party needs to do a better job to repudiate racism within their ranks. But yet Fox News tried to make it seem as if the NAACP painted the whole Tea Party as racists. The complete fools at Fox news refuse to say President Obama, they always say Obama or Mr. Obama.
News flash to people of color, you can sit on your ass and act like everything is KOOL and all good; but you better wake up and get a grip, and realize that a smile is just a frown turned upside down.
Let’s start with Megan Kelly of Fox News with her infatuation of the NBPP intimidation of voters in 1998. I heard this woman say on national TV (Fox News) that she has nine years of legal knowledge and a few years of journalism under her belt. She proclaim that a whistle blower testified under oath that the Obama administration has a document stating that if it’s a Civil Rights claim against a Black by a White; they will not prosecute. Sounds like reverse discrimination to me, but neither Megan Kelly nor the whistle blower can produce any evidence that a document by the Obama administration exist to coincide with their ridiculous claims. What this woman and Fox News are trying to imply is that the Obama administration has an agenda geared towards taking care of Black people, and White people are second on President Obama’s agenda. These people actually think clear thinking Americans are too dumb to see through their subliminal racism.
I said all of that to say this, the dumb bitch, Megan Kelly of Fox News who touts herself as a journalist failed to check and see that it was Attorney General Michael Bernard Mukasey, a George Bush nominee, who decided that it was insufficient evidence to prosecute members of the NBPP of voter intimidation. What other evidence we need to know that (1): This is a dumb racist bitch; and (2): This is an ignorant bitch masquerading as a journalist. Here’s what’s really happening, Bill O’Reilley came to Fox News with incendiary rhetoric in regards to progressive Americans, and became one of the top right wing heroes.

The Murder of Oscar Grant III
On January 1, 2009, Oscar Grant III was brutally murdered by Johannes Mehserle, a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) police officer. Oscar Grant III was handcuffed behind his back, faced down on the pavement while Officer Johannes Mehserle and another Bart police officer had him fully subdued. Officer Johannes Mehserle stood, withdrew his gun from his holster, and shot Oscar Grant III once in the back. This event was captured on multiple digital and cell phone cameras; it was also captured by Bart station security cameras. In some kind of strange way, the BART station security videos turned up missing. Read about it in detail by visiting the link below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BART_Police_shooting_of_Oscar_Grant
On July 8, 2010, the jury found Officer Johannes Mehserle guilty of involuntary manslaughter, which means Officer Mehserle could possibly serve less time for murdering a human being than Michael Vick served for killing a dog.
In my opinion, this lets me know that a person of color in America is less important than a dog. For those of you who haven’t noticed, gun sales have increased by more than two hundred percent by whites since President Barack Hussein Obama became president. But yet, the courts of America has ruled that we have the right to show up at a President Barack Hussein Obama rally with a concealed weapon or with a weapon strapped onto our waist.
“Marinate” this on your brain for a few minutes. When the Black Panther Party armed themselves to protect people of color from the first terrorists (The KKK) known to this country because the police wouldn’t protect people of color, J. Edgar Hoover gave the order to FBI agents to murder each and everyone of them on site.
If the rest of you would like to pretend that you’re oblivious to what’s really going on, then I say people of color are destined to repeat history and to become SLAVES once again.

President Obama Strategy on Afghanistan
Recently there have been pundits in the media and Congress questioning President Obama’s strategy in regards to the war in Afghanistan; especially since the Rolling Stone article about General Stanley McChrystal. President Obama has stated July, 2011 we will begin a gradual withdrawal from Afghanistan. But yet we have pundits from every spectrum with their own agenda. I’m talking about Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, and now, yes we have the Tea-Party.
From my perspective, I think the President will make a drastic mistake if he tries to appease all of these people. I know the President is a sharp guy, but sometimes the sharpest of people allow themselves to be overwhelmed by trying to win the crowd, instead of staying the course and paying attention to priorities.
Here’s something for all of you who want the President to pull all of the combat troops out of Afghanistan immediately, and those of you who want the President to stay in Afghanistan until victory is declared.
Let’s start with those of you who want the President to get out now. Say for instance we just up and leave Afghanistan today, or gradually draw down. Once we leave, what will keep the Taliban and Al-Qaeda from regenerating and doing a do-over of 9/11? I don’t know the answer to that, and I’m sure neither does you; so until you come up with a viable answer, shut the fuck up.
To those of you who want to just fight on until we achieve victory, I’ve heard all of the talking heads talk about what victory will look like. Forget about what you think victory will look like, think about this. I wrote an article approximately two years ago about how the same troops are going on three and four tours back and forth to war zones. As a Vietnam Veteran (9th Marines, 3rd Marines Division) I feel I’ve earned the right to speak this way. If you honestly believe we should fight until we in somebody eye perceive we can get to victory; then I say bring back the draft. There is no way one half of one percent of the population of this country should be sacrificing their life and neglecting their family for the rest of us. Those of you who campaign to fight on until victory, but don’t campaign for the draft; you’re bull-shitting yourself, and others who listen to the bull-shit you’re advocating.

President Obama’s Approval Numbers are Dropping, and the Oil Spill is Rising and Getting Worst
The President approval rating is dropping at a rapid pace, while the Gulf oil spill is spreading into Florida. If we listen to the pundits at MCNBC (Chris Matthews and his guests), Fox News (Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity), CNN (Anderson Cooper and John King), and other talking heads like Rush Limbaugh, one would think President Obama came up with some kind of sinister plan to make sure the Blow Out Preventer (BOP) didn’t work, and caused the oil spill just because he had something against the people who live and work on the Gulf Of Mexico.
I haven’t heard but two people say something that made sense that actually said something that placed the oil spill and the President’s role in this into proper prospective. The two people I’m speaking of are Fareed Zakaria and Bill O’Reilly; I was really taken aback when I heard Bill O’Reilly ask the question, “What more could the President have done to stop the oil spill?”
With the President’s job approval ratings dropping, I sit back and wonder, does any of you out there remember when the Republicans proclaimed, “If President Obama fail we win.” But yet, some poles show that Americans rather have Republicans in charge of Congress instead of Democrats. I already know why that is, Republicans just want the President to fail, and the Blue Dog Democrats did everything to side with Republicans when it came to Health Care Reform. Why is it that we have Conservative Democrats (Blue Dog Democrats), and none, absolutely not one Liberal Republican? Are the Democrats this dumb, or they just don’t know when they’re being played?
Today (06/24/2010) Republicans voted down the extension of unemployment checks to millions of Americans for the eighth time, but most of Americans, according to pole numbers would like to have Republicans running things. We have Republicans like Rep. Joe Barton apologizing to BP because the President negotiated a deal with BP to put $20 Billion up to help the people who have lost their lively-hood because of the oil spill. But yet we have the majority of Americans, according to the poles would rather have Republicans running things instead of Democrats.
For some reason, the people who would rather have the Republicans running things instead of the Democrats; evidently don’t know the Republicans are the people who got us in the mess we’re in today. I wonder did any of the pole takers, pole any of the millions of Americans who will lose there unemployment benefits because the Republicans voted against it, because Republicans deemed unemployment as WELFARE? Democrats will need every Democrat to vote this November, even those who have never voted in a mid-term election. If that doesn’t happen, we are probably looking at President Obama as a one term President.

When Will The Real Supporters of President Barack Hussein Obama Stand Up?
This is not for those of you who suffer with faint of heart, this is for critical thinkers only; so slow muther-fuckers get the fuck out of the way.
Two questions, when and how are you bitch as punk muther-fuckers gonna stand-up? The silence from the supposedly Obama supporters is deafening. We have members of Congress apologizing to BP because the President did something for the people who are suffering because BP fucked-up.
We have members of the Black Caucus complaining about the President haven’t done enough for the inner-city Blacks who are suffering because of the iron hands of White people.
We have the AFL-CIO complaining about the President haven’t done enough to appease union members.
We have members of the GAY community complaining about the President haven’t done enough about, “Don’t ask don’t tell.”
We have members of the Hispanic community complaining about the President haven’t done enough to address their concerns.
We have weak ass muther-fuckers thinking the only way they can get ahead in life is to fall on their knees and ask GOD for it. Some time you ignorant dumb muther-fuckers need to get the fuck up and do something on your own. It ain't the President fault becuase you fucked up.
We got people who are willing to strap bombs on themselves to kill us; but yet stupid muther-fuckers have the nerve to ask the question, “Why those people hate us so much?” Then you have an even dumber muther-fucker like Glenn Beck answer those stupid muther-fuckers and say, “They hate the freedom we enjoy in America.” Yeah right, like the terrorists who bombed churches while little girls were attending Sunday school; is that the fucking freedom you racist muther-fuckers are talking about?
We have networks like CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, CBS, ABC, NBC, and numerous radio idiots saying dumb shit like, “when is the President going to take charge and clean the oil spill up.” A week before the oil spill, these same stupid muther-fuckers was campaigning about keeping the government out of any and everything. Any clear thinking person would say, “these muther-fuckers are schizo.
I could talk about the teabaggers and the White people who voted for the President and woke up the next morning and asked the person who slept next to them, “Did I actually vote for a NIGGER yesterday?” But fuck them; they don’t even deserve a response to their ignorance.
I could go on and on about you scared ass NIGGERS who talked down about Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, and other people of color who stood up for their rights while the rest of you bitch NIGGERS set down and acted as if you was sedated. And muther-fuckers have the nerve to ask me, “JD why are you so damn mad about shit.”
I’m mad because people of color accept their status; I can’t fight no fucking one man army. You silly muther-fuckers sit on your worn out sofa watching White people coming to rallies against the President with guns. These people are manning up and gunning up to take anybody of color in their blood out; shit Hitler did it. OK, no more fucking sweet talk. I hate to say this, but some time people of color make me think about a person who sit on the fucking TV and watch the sofa; that’s how dumb you muther-fuckers act some time.
If people of color don’t stand up for what they believe in, there’s only one answer; you ignorant muther-fuckers will become slaves once again while the minority of people rule your dumb asses by mind control. All I see today are Blacks doing Black on Black crime, it’s as if you stupid muther-fuckers went to the store and asked for bullets labeled with Blacks only to kill. Am I the only person to notice that people of color need to step-up to the plate and let our younger men and women know that we can settle disputes with each other with out killing each other? How long do we have to stay dumb, do we have to become extinct like the damn buffalo; ask the American Indians?
