Allen West and the new black Tokenism!

Allen West and his comments are but the latest in what has become a trend of tokenism for and in black politics! We have too many self-haters and sell outs in the black community rising to social prominence and media access via their willingness to become token symbols of " conservatism"!
Tokenism, and elitism has no place in the black community, especially since that community still continues to struggle under the policies and politics of "conservatism"! We dont need  negros feeding into the skewed and stereotypical views of many conservatives with their self-hate, because while you think you arent one of"those negros" it only takes a'teachable moment" for you to realize that you are! So to Allen West and all of those new black "conservatives" who have sold their soul in order to be shown favor in "Massa's" house, we are all still on the plantation sad to say,  and you are, without a doubt, the HOUSE NEGROS!!!!

the CBC & the Jobs picture(returned to the back of the Bus

The CBC(congressional black caucus) is to be saluted for putting the spotlight on those who are suffering the most in this jobless recovery and economy: BLACKS!!! Black people are suffering unemployment at nearly DOUBLE the rate of the general nation, and that in itself lends question to the process as a whole! Because you better beelieve that blacks are last on the list when it comes to getting hired in America these days! And its not due to those same old mantras about education and all the rest! You could be a damn janitor, and if a white person, asian person , spanish person and a black man lined up, that black man would be the last one considered for that job! 16 percent unemployment in the black community, I defy anyone to tell me that racism dont have a hell of a lot to do with it! And to all those who refuse to confront the issue, I say to you,   when the system was failing black people, DR king fought to change the system! The problem today is that rather than trying to get us out o the back of the Bus, too many black leaders and elected officals are trying to keep us quiet, and are telling us to enjoy the ride!  We are back in the back of the Bus people, and its time we wake up and say something about it! and I for one, hope that this action By the CBC is the first step down that path! It's time to rock the boat!!!!
Cause I dont know about you, but im as tired as Rosa Parks was with the state of black people in America!

character & leadership versus issues! Which one America?

As America carreens toward 2012, despite all the so called political expertise that is out there, the simple fact remains that this will be, as most of our presidential elections are, a battle between Character and leadership quality, versus the issues! For, if you examine our political history, you can see that for republicans, the winning tickets has been character and leadership quality: Ie: Reagan, Bush 1 & 2, while for the democrats, Issues have brought them to the white house IE Clinton & Obama! So know this FACT, America has to decide what is most important for them in this election, the issues, joblessness, and the deficit, or who do they think can fill the role as leader! Image or substance, character & perceived quality, or the issues? Which one America?
Myself I think the answer is very clear, what about you?

Following the campaign trail( sights seen)

As we begin the long process of following the 2012 campaign trail, we can see its going to have a lot of Ups and downs. Firstly we see that, despite her Big win in Iowa, Michelle Bachman benefitted little from it due to the entrance of Rick Perry into the race. And then, with the irrationality that has been the Hallmark of the Perry Governorship, he immediately accused the US gov of treason(keeping in mind that this is the same Gov who threatened to secede from the USA!) This chest thumping sort of politicizing may sell west of the pecos, but Michelle Bachman & Rick Perry will have a tough sell in move civilized climes! Its getting to the now or never decision time for Sarah Palin.And, to be frank, if she doesnt get in, she will be totally out of the political process at this level forever! Because that will be all that the "lamestream" media needs to render her the non-factor they have been dying to do! The clock is at 13 mins Sarah, whats it gonna be!? Mitt Rommney is clearly the Hunted among republicans, but if he fights and wins, he will have unified support from them!This nomination is his to win, but he is going to have to get down and more than a little dirty against players like Perry!The president missed a golden opportunity to regulate  the Tea party somewhat with his confrontation. He ,being ever the great conciliator, avoided the confrontation, but he should have let them be seen as the rabid dogs they are! I havent forgotten what they did to Rep Lewis and the like in the final days of the health care debate, and America needs to be reminded that there is a good reason why they were called terrorists! And lastly The president needs to take advanatage of the congressional break to push his Jobs agenda across the country! Its a open field Mr, president , so run sir, run!!!!

Is Obama ready for the fight?

He has spent the last three years being totally savaged by the republican machine. Everything, his personality, his status, his policies, has been challenged and undermined, so now, with 2012 looming, the only question is; Is Obama ready for the fight? Because this is going to be a knock down drag out fight for him!This is a race where he is the target, he is the hunted not the hunter! This coming election camapign for the incumbent president  will be a race where he must be on message and his message must be on point! Simple platitudes will not do, this is a fight, and to be frank its time to BRING it! Fire & brimstone! On issues like jobs and the state of congress! Yes indeed Obama hit the nail on the head when he said country first! Indeed that needs to be his campaign slogan! Simply put for the president its time for the gloves to come off on issues like taxing the rich! He can no longer remain above the fray, the time for teachable moments are done! Its You or them Mr. president, and you need to sell to the american people with fire and brimstone, coming from the belly and not the brain, that you deserve a second term! No pulling punches! This is a fight, and the question remains yet unanswered: Are you truly ready for the fight? Because clearly, the republicans dont beleive that you are!

Political potpourri!

A potpourri for you on this saturday: The main appeal Rick Perry has is that he fits the republican status quo, the republican mold. Stuffy white male, with tinges of southern gentleman. If he wins the nomination, and I highly doubt he will, I can see the ads ripping him now, "the last gov of texas we elected----!"
Like the fight in that Sarah Palin. Despite all thats against  her, she is still staying relevant!Im hoping she get's into the republican race, because they need the status quo to be turned upside down! A question I  think should be asked of Mitt Rommney is:WHY does  he want to be president? All Politics aside, WHY does he want it so much? Courts have pulled out the foundation from Obamacare, whats next? The Obama presidency is more and more resembling a reverse  mutiny on the bounty, with captain bly leading the mutiny!  Hillary Clinton continuing to look very impressive in her duties as Sec of State.Despite what she has said publically, If Obama falls in 2012. she will be on many short lists for 2016. and I wouldnt be surprised if they press her to primary Obama again in the next few months! Does Ron Paul read history?The last time  the USA Minded their own buisness, it led to World  War II!
If Sarah Palin enters the race, will Michelle Bachman continue to matter?
And lastly, when will Obama announce anf focus on a major Jobs package, because that will be the key to his re-election, if he gets it off and gets it off first, he will be re-elected, but if he doesnt---!

Happy saturday people!

The Fox debate(sound & fury)!

Last nights republican debate was a exercise in sound and fury that signified nothing! Sure it got a bunch of sound bites for the media, but it did nothing for any candidate that participated( except perhaps for Michele Bachman(the Anti Palin for the media's purposes) Nothing has changed, MItt Rommney still holds the front runners spot, and he still looks like the candidate the republican Base will accept, and good news for Mitt, he actually seemed to loosen up for a few minutes, and for him that is a good thing! But last night no plans were advanced no insight was achieved, the only winner in last nights debate was the media, because it gave them trivialities to talk about! But trivialities arent getting people employed! Michelle Bachman being a submissive(ooh that kinda turns me on)wont bring jobs to America! So for the next debate; where more candidates will be involved , I hope that the focus will truly be on the issues and where the candidates stand on them
and not a lot of sound and fury, because that signifies and avails both the candidates and America
Nothing!!!
