And who finances (and controls) the NAACP?

not black people

the NAACP and the URBAN LEAGUE are owned and operated by non--blacks, so they serve the same purpose -- to create a public stage and make it APPEAR that black concerns are being addressed when in reality, nothing is being done

it is the same old handkerchief head politics that white politicians use

go to the NAACP

go to the black church

and then after you get the votes

ignore the black community

hope this isn't offensive but I think this is a good analogy to our current situation:

a pimp has 7 women on the corner (his old h*os) who have stuck with him thru thick and then , despite the beatings, and despite being completely ignored, neglected, exploited, and disrespected

if we wants to recruit some "new blood" (new h*os) what does he do?

he gives the new h*os all his attention and concern
because the old h*os are in the proverbial bag

----

I've asked many a black folk, to THINK and try to remember the last time (or any time) that Obama has:

-- directly addressed the black community

-- held a "town hall meeting" in the black community

-- even SAID the word "black people", "black community", 'black kids are dying,' "black unemployment", or "black anything"

I am still waiting for an answer...

this is not about Obama bashing -- It's about a REALITY CHECK for black people at a time when deception is at an all time-high

We didn't create, nominate, select, or finance Obama -- who has NEVER been part of our struggle

when other "people" choose your leader,

you will always be misled

I respectfully disagree with you on:

Saying "I WOULD NEVER DATE A WHITE PERSON" really sounds ignorant to me.

I do not understanding why this is an ignorant statement to you...I will never, never, never and never date a yt man - there is nothing a yt man can do for a Sistah such as me. He will never be able to provide me with any type of understanding as far as my world is concerned. He will never be able to console me with the passion that is needed when as BLACK WOMAN has to assist her BLACK BROTHERS SON, NEPHEWS with understanding that a YT officer has just degraded and disrespected them as NO MAn should ever be. He will never understand that discrimination I had to endure by YT WOMAN that I KNOW MANAGE AT MY PLACE OF BUSINESS.

Even today...what in the world would a conversation be with a yt man across the dinner table about Troy Davis and the atrocity in which yt society has condemed him. There's so much more...

My world is complex...and as a Black Woman the only race of men that understand me, my thoughts, worries, concerns and are accepting in joining my fight, my struggle and walking side-by-side is that of my own race of men. Yes, there is desire and an abundance of love, appreciation and support I have for them and there's nothing ignorant about that.

I see black folk do this a lot

referring to other black people as "they" when WE are part of "they"

that is our ANTI-BLACK programming at work.

Unfortunately, thanks to integration and assimilation in a racist, black-hating, white supremacist society, most of us (whether we admit it or not) have been TAUGHT to see other black people the same way that whites see us.

as something negative, defective, and undeserving of life or justice

We are walking around with a "white chip" in our heads, directing our brain traffic, and making us turn against each other, and LOVING IT.

Let's be honest, black folks LOVE putting down other black folks, our comedy is all about put-downs, our conversations are about putting other black folks down, our TV shows are all about putting other black folks down

and we think that is NORMAL...

then think about how RELUCTANT we are to criticized the (white) people who are behind all the pain and misery black people experience.

that is programming and walking around with a white mind and a white brain chip inside a black body

To blame other black folks for what is posted on a WHITE-OWNED AND RUN WEBSITE makes no sense to me.

I suspect this will be one of our greatest challenges, and I have no automatic answers at the ready... only questions. Yes. that will take some effort. This part of what Dr. King had in mind with the Poor Peoples Campaign. And he might have succeeded. An African-American female professor from Morgan State once told me of a conversatin she had with a white cab driver in early Spring of 1968--shortly before King was killed. She was a grad student, maybe newly minted Ph.D. at the time. She cab driver in DC starting talking---"whining" OhREally would probably call it--about the troubles he and his family were facing. Working and barely able to make ends meet, barely being able to keep his family together, etc. He said to the future professor something like "I'm tired of this s____! Excuse me for cuswing. But I'm tired of this. I hear that minister of yours, that King fella...I hear he wants to organize ALL us poor people this time, not just colored. Well if he is, this is one white that's gonna be at that march. I've had it up to here." I've read that as the word spread that King intended to lead a movement of ALL the dispossesse, the "disinherited children of God" as he called the poor, pictures of King started appearing in the homes of some poor and whorking class whites along with pictured of John Kennedy and FDR. During Black History Month, a white colleage asked me if I thought Dr. King would be in Egypt aiding the nonviolent revolutionary wave now called the Arab Spring. I said, "I think he'd be praising the Arab Spring and expressing solidarity. But probably he would be marching---walking cane and all--with the disfranchised working people in Wisconsin and Michigan who are undere attack from the Right. He'd be marching against those wars, and demanding that Obama stop pussyfooting around, and do something serious about health care and the well being of poor and working people of every race, color and creed.

Of course union busting is the goal of the Tea Party and their ilk, that is why King is viewed as a trouble maker and communist instead of trying to help workers get better working conditions. But then the Tea Partiers act like we can all live on $8 per hour with no healthcare.

Ironically, King spent his last days working on behalf of striking sanitation employees who were trying to organize, and who eventually won their strike and their right to organize, get good wages and collective bargaining which Mayor Loeb initially refused to concede.
Too bad that victory had to be won at the price of the martyrdom of Martin King.
And how DARE those conservatives who are trying to suppress working people, to deny them the right to collective bargaining--how DARE they try to lay claim to the legacy of Dr. King!

Brother (from your old buddy, the Cram)

before Obama became president, i asked some black folk why don't they have a problem with Obama telling black folk what WE should do for ourselves

YET when he talked to Hispanics, whites, and Jews, he told them what HE would do for THEM. He didn't tell poor whites to stop feeding their kids Spam for breakfast, did he?

and the answer I always got was, "Ssshhh! He can't act like he's gonna do anything for 'black people' because that would turn white voters off!"

now, three years later, I ask the same people this question:

why hasn't Obama addressed any black issues like black unemployment, police brutality, black kids dying, black schools closing, or black foreclosures or held any town hall meetings in the black community and they tell me,

"Ssshhh! Obama can't be just a black president, he's got to be a president for everybody!"

so I say, "Wait a sec, Obama has directly addresssed the Jews. Does that make him a 'Jewish' president? He has repeatedly addressed the Hispanics. Does that make him a 'Hispanic president?' He has held numerous town hall meetings in predominantly white areas. Does that make him a "white president?"

aren't black people part of "everybody?"

and all I get is a blank look or they get upset

I guess I got my answer

it doesn't matter if he does anything for black people

as long as we have a first "black president"

What's going on Cram??

Obama has tested the Black mentality and has learned that he doesn't have to address our issues in a meaningful way. In addition, if anyone who stands up and critiques him (Smiley/West) the majority of his supporters will turn on them, EVEN THOUGH, they have been offering up the same critiques of Presidents for the past 40 years.

If I hire you to do a job and pay you whether you do the job or not and continue you to do so week after week, why the hell would you work? The one thing that keeps people striving to complete their work on time and correctly is the prospect of losing the job. Give MOST people the choice of staying home and chilling and collecting a paycheck, or coming to work 8hrs a day and collecting the same check, I think we know what most people would opt for.

If Blacks aren't willing to put any demands on the President while still pledging full support, then it stands to reason, his focus will be placed somewhere else. No brainer as far as I'm concerned.

____________________

Sisters have to stop blaming themselves for brothers who give up on Black women, for nothing is more self-hating nor damaging to healthy self-esteem; it is also believing falsehoods about ourselves that the status quo has repeated about us. We convince ourselves that there must be something wrong with us, something that is lacking as women, that we degrade Black men. It is an overstatement to say this because it makes it seem as if we are the oppressors to our own men and that we harbor hatred for them. This opinion might be unpopular, but it is not the fault of Black women when their own brother states that he's had enough. It is simply his issue and his issue alone that he must grapple with; he is also a brother that I wouldn't want anyway. Contrary to popular belief, brothers don't leave Black women because we aren't loving, understanding, or supportive enough for them. These are many Black men who simply do not want an equal. The most insulting and self hating comment that I received from a Black men on why he dated a white woman was, "That's because sisters are strong, but they are too strong. You have to let a man be a man." These were not the words of an adult, but the words of an insecure man who was trying to convince Black women that because of their strength, they needed to tone this down, in order to be considered attractive and to soothe a man's ego. This is the mentality of some Black men, not all, but a fair amount. They interpret strength as male castration, challenge as a female attempt at dominating them, and honesty as as destruction of the ego. You see, most Black men have adhered to the racist/sexist notion that whites have created that Black women castrate and dominate the Black men. The images that he might get about other races of women is that the are more docile, submissive, and willing to let him be a man. These same brothers who then feel that they will have better or more powerful relationships with another woman, just because she is a member of another race, ends up blowing up in his face and revealing to him the idiocy of his assumptions. It is not because sisters are not supportive. Now, I'm not saying that Black women are perfect. Far from it. Both genders have work to do. However, I don't worry about Black men who want to go over to another woman if he thinks that it will somehow be better than the one he can possible benefit from with a black woman. I damn sure won't try to think of ways that I can get him back, because I wouldn't think it was worth the energy to change a foolish mindset. All I can do is love and struggle with the brothers that I do have in my corner who have enough spirit and heart in this fight with me.

I'm looking for a King. I shall continue to do what I do.

I agree

when do the (white) people in power EVER give up power to someone who is less powerful than they are?

NEVER

Is a politician somebody you can trust --regardless of color or sex?

ABSOLUTELY NOT

if people thought Bush was a "puppet" and he was white, male and from a powerful, LONG-time politically connected family

what are the chances that a black man who did not come from a powerful, politically connected family is NOT a puppet, too?

ZERO

These Obama supporters absolutely confuse the hell out of me. I got a sister yesterday telling me that a 27.1% poverty level is cool since 72.9% aren't in poverty. I wonder if that sister realizes that in 38 developed countries, THE US ranks in the bottom four countries with respect to the gap between rich and poor. She tells me that hey, not everyone is meant to be middle class or rich...LMAO..So basically, she is cool with a black man doing the same thing a white man is doing, simply because he is Black. I guess black children in the ghetto tonight are supposed to view that as some consolation. Why do you need a Black President to do what the other White ones have done so successfully in the past?

People THINK

you can't have a "jobs bill" and at the same time SIGN multiple FREE Trade deals with Columbia, Panama, and South Korea.

Have the American people NOT learned our lesson about "trade deals" like NAFTA?

Trade deals ALWAYS mean CHEAP FOREIGN LABOR, more UNEMPLOYED AMERICAN WORKERS, and LOWER WAGES for all Americans. That is a FACT.

Here's some STATS:

-----

"Since 2001, the U.S. has lost 5.3 mil­lion jobs in the man­u­fac­tur­ing sec­tor as a re­sult of trade poli­cies which are ad­verse to the eco­nomic in­ter­ests of the Amer­i­can peo­ple. Ac­cord­ing to the Eco­nomic Pol­icy In­sti­tute (EPI), pas­sage of the Ko­rea-U.S. Free Trade Agree­ment could re­sult in the loss of 159,000 Amer­i­can jobs within the first seven years of its im­ple­men­ta­tion."

EPI fur­ther es­ti­mates that the U.S.-Colom­bia Free Trade Agree­ment will re­sult in the loss or dis­place­ment of an ad­di­tional 55,000 Amer­i­can jobs. Be­tween 1994 and 2010, states pre­vi­ously known for their man­u­fac­tur­ing in­dus­tries like Ohio, Min­nesota, Michi­gan and Iowa have col­lec­tively lost over 772, 000 man­u­fac­tur­ing jobs.

Two-thirds of the more than 2.3 mil­lion Amer­i­can jobs dis­placed be­tween 2001-2007 as a re­sult of the U.S.-China Free Trade Agree­ment were in the man­u­fac­tur­ing sec­tor.

The Eco­nomic Pol­icy In­sti­tute es­ti­mates that our trade deficit with Korea will grow to $16.7 bil­lion in the first seven years of its im­ple­men­ta­tion. "

Actually, the FBI most often used BLACK spies, infiltrators and provocateurs.
Ironically, the Black Movement may have opened of jobs for blacks in local, state and Federal intelligence which now needed spies to contain the Black movement.
If they chose to use women during the high point of the Movement, they might have found it more effective to use sisters.
Bladk spies, male or female, could infiltrate The Black Panther Party, NOI, Malcolm's OAAU, and even SCLC, SNCC, etc.

There was a recent study done by a black scholar Dr. Ivory Toldson of Howard University and the Institute For Social Research who looked at Black marriage rates.This study of course was not featured on this website but I have added as much as I can here.We need to stop focusing on this rubbish its a distraction.We need to focus on rebuilding our relationships, our communities and not destroying ourselves this issue is pushed so hard to divide us.Black marriage is on the rise and has been for the past 3 years.The study found that 43 percent of black women have never been married compared to 20 percent of white women, who are 18 years and older. When analyzing the black women who are 35 and older, the percent who have never been married drops to 25 percent.Although this still means that the number of unmarried black women still doubles that of white women, it does show that a majority of Black women do marry by 35.Then the study explored the raw numbers for Black women outnumbering Black men. We've all heard those 10-1 ratios in places like ATL. The Howard study found that there are 1.9 million more black women than black men; however the same data showed 4.6 million more white women than white men! And when was the last time you read a long article about white women being unable to find a husband?*Eighty-eight percent of all black men who are married are married to black women.*Among married black men with a personal income of more than $100,000, 12 percent have a white wife, 83 percent have a black wife, and 5 percent have a wife who is neither black nor white.*Among black men with college degrees, 10 percent have a white wife and 85 percent have black wives.* Among black male professional athletes, 72.8% are married to black women, 22.2% are married to white women, and 5% are married to women who are neither black nor white. Do not believe the hype, the stereotypes that white and increasingly some black media want to portray of us. BaThe Obamas are having a positive effect on black couples.

I think he tries to avoid being seen as the "angry negro", so instead he seems to cave into demands from those that oppose him. Obama has basically kept the same policies going as we had under Prez Bush, so he is not progesssive at all just like you said. But the same people that claim to oppose him say he is from the liberal left. His policies are anything but left wing.

Bush and Cheney were in the bed with Qaddafi for the oil, so what a change the American government has made now that Qaddafi is again seen as the bad guy of Flight 103, and in the need of being toppled. Just more of your tax dollars for warmongering. Funny how there is always money for that?

The two flaw's are one that American culture is all about "the winner", and so the idea of sharing the pie so equally among all, would be an anathema in the USA I would have thought.
Secondly people aren't dumb and would have sooner or later spotted that this was a strategy for achieving black economic parity, under the guise of achieving economic parity for poor whites.

Believe it or not, there are tens of millions of POOR WHITE4S in America--reportedly, the poor whites may be more numerous than the ENTIRE Black population. Dr. King wanted to end poverty. And while I can go into all of the philosophical nuances of his position, he opposed economic injustice on the same moral grounds as he opposed racial injustice. Indeed, he thought that racial and economic injustice are inseparably linked.

because they were the only ones running for president
and that was a waste of time for black people, too

now let's flip the coin you just tossed out

we (blacks) criticized and laughed at white people for voting for Bush, Jr. the first time -- just because he was white and he screwed them over -- and then they went out and voted for him a second time and got screwed over again

and now we appear to be doing the same thing

voting because he is black even though he has done nothing for black people but the closer it gets to election time will suddenly make an appearance

for the record, I'm not blaming Obama, not really. We didn't select, nominate, educate, raise, or finance him. The ones who did OWN him. Let's be clear about that.

He does not control anything, he is a spokesman for those who do control EVERYTHING.

Brother Savant, have some consistency, stand by your word. This discussion is not about whether Dr. King was a conservative, or a progressive. As you yourself said, it's about what happened to his dream of economic justice. What happened to that dream is, the framework has been established. The laws against discrimination have been enacted. Now it's up to each individual to take advantage of the opportunity afforded to them by that framework. To take it any farther, to take measures to enforce economic "equality", is nothing more than charity for those either unwilling to, or incapable of, taking that advantage to its fullest potential.

Laws against racial discrimination are not the same as for economoic justice. King knew this, as did many others. And that's why his emerging focus after 1965 was the fight against poverty and economic injustice. Ne knew, as you apparently don't, that inequality is BUILT into the system. One's "success" is not primarily a function of one's character. Neither is poverty.
And if economic injutice and poverty were simply matters of race, then you would not have TENS OF MILLIONS of poor whites in America. You wouldn't have a drowning middle class.
America is a CLASS society as well as a racialized one. And contrary to America's largely mythical self-interpretation, this has always been so. Even founding fathers admit as much in the FEDERALIST PAPERS.
As for King's conservatism, which you and Zaius seemed to have been trying to propound, I point out his progressivism in order to show the errors of your interpretation of King as a conservative.
And the fact is, that whether King was progressive or conservative is related to the issue of his dream of economic justice. For that dream is a PROGRESSIVE dream...It would have included the right to full employment, education, health care and an income comforably above poverty for the entire population.
King simply rejected your notion that success (which he thought to be a narrow notion indeed) was a function of individual initiative in a purportedly fair and just order.
The order of things were not in King's view fair or just, and no amount of individual initiave can make it so. Certainly, he wuold agree that people should take advantage of what's available (however indadequate that may be). But he also thought that there would have to be a "radical redistribution of political and eonomic power" in favor of the common people, if justice was to be won. I think King was right.
