Political Parties and Life

Republicans are no longer the party of Lincoln or Emancipation. The "grand old party" has become the "grand oil party." When Farai Chideya notes that the cultural values of many Black Americans are quite conservative, it is overlooked that the POLITICAL & ECONOMIC values of most Black Americans are not conservative, but are imbued with progressives attitudes favoring social justice, especially for the disadvantaged. That is why Blacks began to move toward the Democratic Party during the FDR years. That's why Blacks became more involved with Democrats during the 1960s & 70s. In the 1964 election, Barry Goldwater ran against President Jonnson on a platform which OPPOSED Civil rights. What did the Republicans think our parents were going to do? Vote against civil rights--our rights--which our parents were fighting and sacrificing for? Then there was the Southern strategy, beginning with Nixon and intensifying with Reagan, ofr appealing to white racist sentiments to break up the FDR coalition, largely by scapegoating us (though doing so in more coded racist language rather than the explicit racist rhetoric of the past). What did Republicans expect? That we'd sing their praises?

Interestingly enough, Dr. King pointed out that political opposition to civil rights actually emanated froma kind of diabolical alliance between racist southern Democrats and right wing and largely racist Northern Republicans.
At any rate, it was Republican Barry Goldwater who opposed the Civil rights Act of 1964, not the Democrat Lyndon Johnson.

People always whining about food stamps but not about farm subsidies, it is all welfare. Michelle Bachmann and other Republicans will keep getting theirs from Uncle Sam.

Why is the welfare conversation only focused on food stamps and AFDC? Why no outrage on farm subsidies going to millionaires, it is still your taxpaying dollars?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/donald-carr/the...

So government intervention is demanded in this area, the whole time the same folks are whining about government handouts and entitlements? I thought the Republicans resented the government having its hands in their businesses and how business should be allowed to prosper and grow without government intrusion?

Farm subsidies=handouts

In that case, the authorities in a state governed by Republicans should have arrested Zimmerman on Februrary 26--just as they would have arrested Trayvon if he'd killed a white man.

I lean on my mother and father married for 35 years to give me advice.Not a comedian who's been married 3 times.Relationships take hard work and require both the man and woman to be honest, truthful,have open lines of communication,being each others friend and trusted advisor.holding the standards of your relationship near your heart when you are away from each other.Being their for each other,knowing what you want as a couple and working towards that.Anything short of cheating in my book, can be worked and ironed out if your in it for the right reasons.

"I’ve never, in my life, ever wanted to date a woman who thinks like a man. To be honest, that would actually scare me."
I don't think Mr. Harvey is literally telling women to think like men, but to understand how men think when it comes to dating. But besides that, it is obvious that women are seeking such advice, which is why the book topped the NY Times Bestseller's list. For a lot of women, for every good guy they may meet, they have to go through a hundred bad guys. The opposite is true for men, as some would also say. But although such advice can deal with the emotions of this problem, secular advice falls short on the spiritual realm. Relationships between men and women have been under attack by demonic spirits for some time, and these spirits have manifest themselves through the evil ones who run this world, especially the media and Hollywood which has made it desirable to be unfaithful, irresponsible and promiscuous. Until you take the evil ones out of the picture, you will continue to find increasing division between the sexes.

If whites had such a work ethic as they love to claim, why did they force Africans’ do all the hard work for no pay, for hundreds of years while white focused on raping, beating and killing blacks. Whites did not make America. They used blacks to make it for them. It will take another 1000 years before the debt of that sin is paid.
Just because, China has written records of every loan they have given to America, it does not mean they are the only ones that are owed. America is paying in social strife and decay, for the sins it has never atoned for, including the massacre of the native Americans and the enslavement of blacks.
Sorry you can’t sleep at night, without the the ghosts of racists, dead Indians and millions of African slaves haunting you. But the world is set up so that people reap what they sow and if they don’t then there decedents will.
Just stop for a second and listen to the voices millions of African slaves, calling to God for justice. Do you think they should be ignored. I’m sure you do and that’s why justice will be served regardless of what you think. That’s why God is going to allow the NWO to enslave you. No matter how much the laws of the land are rigged to benefit whites, they can’t escape the laws of cause and effect. Evil will take over the world. Only when whites have truly suffered will they regain their respect for the ones they so despised. Only then can real fight for freedom begin.
The problem with whites is that they want to have a clear conscience, in a world that has been ruined by their sins and the sins of their ancestors. They hate the guilt, by association that comes with being white, which is why they hate the topic of race ever being raise. So much so that they start threatening a race war, when race gets to close for comfort. Grow up white people. Race therapy is what you really need. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but you have to go through the tunnel first. This is what most just can’t do. Because the tunnel is just to black to bare. It’s their choice. Either whites grow up fast of their own accord, or the suffering imposed by the NWO will force them too see the error of their ways.

The man BEATS DOWN all challengers for his seat every election cycle. So im thinking he is doing SOMETHING right for his people. As SoultrySoul has stated, he is the "PEOPLES CHAMP". He is not a BUCK DANCER like many of our OTHER black politicians. And let us not forget that it was then" MAYOR" MARION BARRY that was KEY in helping to make the MILLION MAN MARCH a reality. He kept his duty even when almost every other politician in DC left. Including President Bill Clinton. The federal government shut down on that day from fear. Everybody was told to leave the city. National gaurd troops were called up. And Marion Barry kept fighting to make it happen. So for me, Marion Barry will still get my respect. PERIOD.

Different time, different Republican Party. isn't it ironic that the current REPUBLICAN governor of Virginia declared April to be CONFEDERATE HISTORY MONTH?
What actually concerns me is not the labels "Republican" and "Democrat", but the SUBSTANCE (if any) behind the label.
It is not without reason that former Dixiecrat racists and reactionaries move over to the Republican party, beginning with the Civil Rights Movement which reached its height during the liberal 1960s, and contemporary with liberal Democrat administrations.
Had Republicans not shifted to the Right, had they seized the moral initiative during and after the 1960s instead of nominating an anti-Civil Rights conservative like Barry Goldwater, and a bunch of other reactionaries after him, the Republicans might not have lost the Black vote. It might not have become this mainly SOUTHERN party of rightwing nonagenarians and kooks.
They are no longer the Party of Lincoln. Have you listened to ther campaign rhetoric? Not only is it no longer possible to run a Republican campaign as a "liberal" (even though there were once many liberal Republicans), you cannot even run as a MODERATE. Either you belong to the RIGHT--increasingly the far right--or you're out of the game.
Mitt Romney is actually attacked for being a moderate, not evenfor \.
And Barack Obama, whose politics would have mainly gotten him pegged as a "middle of the roader" from the time of FDR until at least the administration for Nixon and Jimmy Carter, is now seen as a socialist, even a communist (not to mention Muslim Communist).
No, the Republican Party is so far right now that it is nearly fascist.
Both parties stink, the the stench is far worse in the Republican camp.

Okay, consider this scenario, say I am Treyvon and I am walking home. I notice someone following me. I start to run (which is verified on 911 recording), the follower gives chase. I think that I lost him, but then he appears again. I ask, "why are you following me?" The person replies, "what are you doing here?". This man does not have on a uniform that would indicate that he has some kind of legal authority. He makes a move of some kind towards me, and fearing for my own safety I hit him. We wrestle briefly, and he then shoots me.
Who had the right to feel threatened initially? I, Trayvon did. Who had the right to defend himself? I, Trayvon did. Who was told by the 911 dispather not to follow me? Zimmerman was. Who provoked the entire chain of events? Zimmerman. Who was not armed and is now in a grave? I, Trayvon am.
Where is the justice?
I do not care how many Black friends Zimmerman had. He stalked and murdered Trayvon.

“You’ve got all these people wanting to lynch the man and they don’t know the whole story. There are huge gaps that are being filled in and interpreted without evidence.”
So it's not okay to judge Zimmerman based on what is now known, but it's okay to DEFEND him? I would respect this BOOT-LICKER more if he would hold his tongue until all the evidence is given. He is FOOLISH to believe that a RACIST will reveal their hate. Don't the KLAN wear disguises??? Please, I bet every last one of the WHITE RACISTS that come on this site has at least ONE BLACK PERSON believing they are a GOOD PERSON. SMH.

Mr Oliver you are asking the public to afford the murderer George Zimmerman the benefit of doubt, which is something he did not afford Trayvon Martin. Thanks to the 911 tapes we know that Zimmerman stalked , approached then killed Trayvon Martin despite clearly being told NOT to pursue him.If he felt Trayvon was a threat then why did he exit his car and attack Trayvon. The 911 tapes speak for themselves and for Trayvon Martin to what happened that night.
Zimmerman may not be racist toward you because in his mind you are a "different kind" of Black man and I'm willingly to bet you had conversation with Zimmerman about the behavior and apparel of young Black men which also feeds into the warped mind of George Zimmerman. Your opinion of Zimmerman not being a racist is based on your experience with him, but his own words and actions proved him to be as racist as the White men who used lynched innocent Black men because they could. We expect someone like you to come out the woodwork and defend George Zimmerman despite what the tapes prove he said and did that night.

The BEST THING Zimmerman can do is unwedge his morbidly obese self up

I work less than 2 miles away from where the crime took place and live less than 7 miles away. I have a teenage son who plays basketball, wears a hoodie and has friends in that complex as many of them go to the high school which is the only one in the district. After a game last year they all went back to the complex to play video game and hang out and swim with one of the team members. They were let off at the front gate and were walking towards the house when 2 men came towards them and asked them what they were doing in the neighborhood. By the way none of the men was George Zimmerman.
Being boys they wanted to know why and the men told them they were tresspassing and started to harrass them. They wanted to see their ID and the address where they were going. Luckily they kept on walking and had reached the house. The boy's father who is a Seminole County police officer came out and asked what was going on. One of the men told them they were walking and looking suspicious. The officer became enraged and told the men people don't have to explain themselves to anyone if they are only walking. He also told the men if they ever step to his son or anyone in his family in that way they would be picking up their teeth off the sidewalk. They apologized to the boys and quickly left. So this proves this is not normal behavior and these men only want to act macho. We have to get justice for this precious angel.

This post is for Joe Oliver!
You have your facts all wrong…the 911 operator did not say to Zimmerman, "You don't have to do that." In fact, if you listen with unbiased listening skills you will hear the operator says at approximately one minute and 57 seconds into this audio recording, "We don't need you to do that." Your statement seem to try and lend that the 911 dispatcher left some area of vagueness of whether Zimmerman should pursue Martin or not, but that was clearly not the case. Listen for yourself via this link: http://youtu.be/6aVwPqXc-bk if you don’t believe me.
In the audio clip, Zimmerman also says, at the fifty-nine seconds point, "Now he's coming towards me". Then he goes on to say at one minute and four seconds in that "He has his hand in his waist band". I have to ponder, why didn't Zimmerman shoot then? Was he not threatened then that this young teen that was "On drugs or something" was going to pull out a gun and shoot him first? Was he not threatened by the young teen approaching him at this point? Was he not in fear for his life where he would ask the dispatcher, “I’m in fear for my life, what should I do?” or again when Zimmerman says to the 911 operator at one minute and twenty-three seconds into the recording, "he's coming to check me out." Why was he threatened only after the young man was walking away from him and heading toward the club house near the back entrance to the community? Why didn't he shout out to Trayvon, with the 911 dispatcher on the line to guide him, Hey, what are you doing? Or ask him, do you live around here? Or perhaps something simple like...Are you ok? You look a little disoriented...have you been attacked? Given that the very thing that supposedly had sparked Zimmerman to beef up his surveillance of the neighborhood was the recent rise of break-ins. This young teen could have been the victim of a robber and escaped. But Zimmerman didn't see him as a victim...he saw him as a perpetrator. Why do you think that is Oliver? I mean, you said that your "good friend" was not racist, he had never shown you any indication that he was right? So was Martin carrying a sack of goods he just had stolen from a home? Was he brandishing a weapon? Was he stumbling or doing the ‘crack head lean’? I'm curious Oliver, what did your "good friend" say to you about why he deemed Martin suspicious and why he felt he needed to pursue him? You did ask him didn't you? You two are such "good friends" right? You mean to tell me that you didn't want to know why your "good friend" felt threatened to the point where felt he needed to remove his gun from its holster, take off the safety, point it at this human being, and fire into his chest.
It's clear that you are bias because of your friendship with Zimmerman, but I think you need to reserve your comments, especially when trying to state the facts. A life was taken here, and your nonchalant attitude towards it, mimics Zimmerman's nonchalant attitude toward the taking of a human life. No matter how you want to point out that Zimmerman was shorter than Martin, or that Zimmerman is lighter in weight than the photos of him circulating portray him to be. Self-defense is NOT a truthful defense when Zimmerman was asked not to pursue Martin, yet he did. When Zimmerman lost contact with Martin, the threat was over, if it ever existed in the first place; yet he was content on obviously ignoring the 911 operator's instruction to not pursue because in the audio clip you clearly hear that Zimmerman is either running or quickly walking in search of Martin. The evidence of that is in the heavy breathing on Zimmerman’s part that continues seconds after he is asked told that law enforcement does not want him to pursue the teen. It is also evident that self-defense is not warranted at this point in the matter because Zimmerman says to the 911 operator, at approximately two minutes and eight seconds into the recording, "He ran," not, “He’s running towards me.”
I pray that you are subpoenaed for the trial, because I would like nothing more than to see the prosecutor tear you apart on the witness stand as you sit in alliance with a man, who may or may not be a racist, but who clearly has some mental and emotional issues that need addressing, and who clearly took a human life without justifiable cause.

I am never surprised about what people who are afflicted with the disease of racism will say. The hoodie is not the real issue here and deep down they know this. If the hoodie was actually the issue then would it have been suspicious for a 90 year old white woman to wear one? What about someone in a wheelchair or who walks with a cane? A 5 year old child perhaps? Or maybe some conjoined twins? IT DOES NOT MATTER! What matters is it was a young black man wearing that hoodie. They fear the black man not the clothes he was wearing. The disease of racism instills that fear and because they fear the black man they automatically perceive him as a threat and stereotype and profile him as suspicious. It doesn’t matter if he was wearing a suit and tie, the outcome would have been the same. Trayvon Martin was profiled, stalked, chased, attacked and then killed just for being an African-American. This is what matters, this is the only thing that matters.

All Trayvon wanted to do was get home before a stranger man following him caught up. Zimmerman wanted to detain Trayvon or stop him from getting to the house until the police arrived because quote... "THEY ALWAYS GET AWAY!!!!". (Who are they? Innocent kids walking?)

TRAYVON WASN'T THEM!!!!!!! HE WAS INNOCENT AND HAD A HOME IN THAT GATED COMMUNITY AS WELL.

In the 911 tapes you can hear Zimmy saying "he's checking me out" and then you hear Zimmy get out of the car and start running and out of breath as the 911 dispatcher says "are you following him? we don't need you to do that police are on their way."

The kid didn't chase him and if he told the police that Trayvon did chase him then he must know that he did something wrong!!! WHY LIE IF YOU DID NOTHING WRONG???

Zimmy told his dad that same lie and his dad repeated it to reporters. THEY HAD TO CHANGE HIS DEFENSE AFTER THE 911 TAPES CAME OUT OF HIM ADMITTED HE WAS CHASING TRAYVON!! That is why his lawyer said "Stand Your Ground" doesn't apply!!

This administration must be FORCED to act when it comes to Black folks. This case proves it, the public outcry has given President Obama food for thought. Had the marches, petitions and demands were not as loud or publicized as they became the Dept of Justice would not have acted. But someone pulled President Obama and Eric Holder coattails and reminded them that is an election year and although Blacks have been economically destroyed, the President will garner some support if his Dept of Justice investigate this case. They are late in acting, but better late than never. I'm sure Zimmerman will be charged with some Federal charges.
Lesson to Black folks if we want this President to act in our behalf we must put pressure on him . Send e-mails, faxes and call the WH to voice your concerns. Remember Obama only helps those he wants to win over and impress, if he thinks he's loosing Black support, he'll take his thumbs out and do something. His nightmare would be the lost of Black support, that's why the DOJ is acting now.

THIS IS EVEN MORE DISTURBING AS DETAILS OF THE TRAYVON MARTIN'S KILLING CONTINUE TO SURFACE BY THE HOUR:
Just moments before Trayvon was shot and killed, he was on his cellphone talking with a 16-year-old girl. The girl is now speaking out about the last, horrifying moments of Martin's life.
"He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man," the girl told ABC News. "I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast. I told him to run but he said he was not going to run."
Trayvon eventually did run.

"Trayvon said, 'What are you following me for?' and the man said,
'What are you doing here?' Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and
somebody pushed Trayvon because the headset just fell. I called him
again and he didn't answer the phone."
The line went dead, according to the girl's account.

Black Codes was a name given to laws passed by southern
governments established during the presidency of Andrew Johnson. These laws
imposed severe restrictions on freed slaves such as prohibiting their right to
vote, forbidding them to sit on juries, limiting their right to testify against
white men, carrying weapons in public places and working in certain
occupations.

After the American Civil War the Radical Republicans
advocated the passing of the Civil Rights Bill, legislation that was designed
to protect freed slaves from Southern Black Codes (laws that placed severe
restrictions on freed slaves such as prohibiting their right to vote,
forbidding them to sit on juries, limiting their right to testify against white
men, carrying weapons in public places and working in certain occupations).

In April 1866, President Andrew Johnson vetoed the Civil
Rights Bill. Johnson told Thomas C. Fletcher, the governor of Missouri:
"This is a country for white men, and by God, as long as I am President,
it shall be a government for white men." His views on racial equality was
clearly defined in a letter to Benjamin B. French, the commissioner of public
buildings: "Everyone would, and must admit, that the white race was
superior to the black, and that while we ought to do our best to bring them up
to our present level, that, in doing so, we should, at the same time raise our
own intellectual status so that the relative position of the two races would be
the same."

Radical Republicans repassed the Civil Rights Bill and were
also able to get the Reconstruction Acts passed in 1867 and 1868. Despite these
acts, white control over Southern state governments was gradually restored when
organizations such as the Ku Kux Klan were able to frighten blacks from voting
in elections.

When it comes to any given race crime comes from within and Black people are not shooting Whites everyday so take that garbage rhetoric back to the next KLAN meeting.
The problem you have is the fact that this group is they actually standing up to racists like Zimmerman and you because Zimmerman never had any right to approach Trayvon and he is the one with the history of reporting Black males and he even once reported a SEVEN YEAR OLD KID as suspicious.
Racism is not an AGENDA because RACISM has always been REAL every since Whites came here killing people that were here first. RACISM has been REAL every since Whites brought Africans to America and ENSLAVED them for 400 plus years so please take your RACIST AGENDA elsewhere.....

Africans sold their own people as
slaves” is a stock argument White Americans
use when the subject of slavery comes up.
First, simply as an argument of
fact it fails:
Africa was not a country. Africans were not selling “their own”, they were
selling their enemies, just as the Greeks and Romans once did. Africa,
then as now, was made up of different countries. They were no more selling
“their own” than, say, “Europeans” were killing “their own” during the
Holocaust.
And it overlooks a few other
things:
Most African countries did not sell slaves and
some even fought against it.
But because Europeans back then could control the supply of guns there was
little Africans could do to stop it. The Transatlantic slave trade was on a much greater
scale than anything the Africans or
anyone else ever did in the history of slavery. Countries were destroyed
and millions died. Over 12 million were sold in less than 400 years,
something so huge that it changed the genetic map of the world. The Transatlantic slave trade was racist. The African slave trade, for all of its other ills,
was not that. Neither was the Greek and Roman slave trade. So slavery in
places like Haiti, Barbados and America was much more cruel.

No they are not trash.Nor was my grandfather JC, daddy,Richard ,my brother RIchard Jr, and every other black man I know.I tell you, this war between black people ,men and women has to stop.As long as we keep blaming each other and not picking each other up and encouraging one another, looking out for each other,im afraid that, the world will never listen and continue the unfairness ,the senseless murders, the jumping to conclusions,stereotyping and labeling.
The word is indeed watching George the MURDERER Zimmerman.Im so proud of us that are standing up for this beautiful young man.TRAYVON MARTIN..What a disgrace and absolute OUTRAGE.Its time for black men to look out for one another. You are being hunted , one way or another.Their isn't any room for fighting each other.Take the fight were it belongs.I PRAY FOR ALL OF THESE YOUNG BLACK MEN,FOR THEIR SAFETY AND FOR THEIR LIVES.AS YOU CAN SEE, TRAYVON COULD OF BEEN ANY ON OF OUR MALE FAMILY MEMBERS AND OR FRIENDS.TEACHING YOUNG MEN HOW TO PROTECT THEMSELVES IS WAY OVERDUE.Bless this young man and his family and friends.Bless us all because this kind of thing sadly isnt going away.

Alex, you should consider that the next time you decide to restate the “police report” of how Zimmerman was on the ground and Trayvon was on top of him.

If you really believe this then why are you targeting Whites? I have experienced racism myself but I see things in perspective. You do keep on targeting Whites and its obvious you have issues with them.
Its obvious I have issues with white TRASH. Yes, I have issues with "white people" because their "whiteness" does not mean the same thing to me as it does to them. It seems to be associated with very specific behaviors and patterns which are continued throughout their history. It is a result of having a collection of recessive traits which, if left to nature, would be naturally eliminated from the gene pool. After seeing how those people with those traits have behaved for the past 2000 years, it is easy to see why they are obsolete and are recessive.
How do you know if I'm not above the lower-middle class? Making assumptions again.
Because you lack formal education and you are Filipino. If you are female, you might have married into money. But if not, I do not see how you could be anything less than what I have assumed. However, if your situation is different, then good for you.
Of course there are African-Americans who live in the suburbs but there is still a large number living in ghettos.
More are living in suburbs than in ghettos. So why not just say that? Instead of admitting that whites are the majority of all welfare recipients, you would rather say that blacks "as a whole" have a "higher percentage" of welfare "for their race". RIDICULOUS. Its very simple.

1 - Gather all welfare recipients.
2 - Look at the group
3 - 70 out of every 100 will be white.
You are a braggart. You think that material wealth is everything but that is not always the case. A small number of Black billionaires does nothing to help those who are below the poverty line.
You have to look at why people are below the poverty line. Everything you say about blacks tries to highlight the lowest end of the spectrum. The reason for that is because you yourself exist on that same lower end of the spectrum. This is the nature of racists. You are a particularly hopeless case because you are either unaware of your foolhardiness, or you are a white guy pretending to be Filipino. Either way, you are disingenuous.
They made their billions in America but look at those in Africa.
The richest black person in the world is an African, worth 11.5 Billion dollars. Again, WHY look at Africa? I am not African, you are not African. You have questions to answer about white welfare in AMERICA, or the lack of accomplishments of Filipinos worldwide. Africa's accomplishments still far overshadow anything Filipinos have done, whatever that is.

Stick to topic.

What are your thoughts about the huge white welfare problem and how would you help them to get off of it? I don't need to hear any more of your views about the blacks. You have already talked about that, and now you are repeating yourself.

If this wasn't Sherri's character then I could understand the criticism but she's always acted this way. She's not going to win the show anyways and those who have followed DWTS know it's going to be hard for a black woman to win it. When white female contestants are loud and talk back to their dance instructors nobody has anything to say. However, when Sherri acts like she's always has been all of the sudden she's supposed to represent every black woman in the world. Wendy needs to have several seats, everything about her is disgusting to me.

Apparently, Zimmerman's propensity toward violence and aggression is well known in his community. Now once thing my Uncle Oscar reportedly said to my mother: "If one of us, who has a record of assaulting a police officer, had shot a WHITE CHILD, we know what would have happened to him by now. He'd be lucky if all they did was arrest him. Well, if Trayvon was MY SON, Zimmerman would ALREADY be dead.md I wouldn't care if they hanged me!" I'm really calling upon not only leaders and activists with the Black community, but men and women of good will in all communities, to combat this injustice by whatever peaceful and/or legal means availabld. Otherwise, other means or reaponse may be sought which are not so civil. Zimmerman's action, if unpunished, not only does an injustice to black communities, dishonors America as a whole, and imperils justice for everyone. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

I know too many REAL socialists to buy the absurd claim that Obama is a socialist. And if you actually think that even Romney is a leftist, you must be from another planet. I take you don't know any REAL leftists. Romneym, a plutocrat, is a rightist. Would you like me to forward some literature to you so that you can familiarize yourself with what socialists really think. I don't mean to be insulting, but the claim that Obama is a socialist would make actual socialists fall out of their seats cracking up with laughter. It's almost like that the Pope is Protestant, or that the apostle Paul was a deist.

THE CRIME RATE AND THE CRIMINALIZATION OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY ARE HIGHLY ORCHESTRATED, TO FEED THE PRISON ENSLAVEMENT SYSTEM. PLUS THE WAR ON DRUGS WAS SET UP TO DO THE SAME. BLACKS DO NOT PRODUCE HEROINE OR COCAINE AND WEED IS NOT EVEN A REAL DRUG. YET THE GOVERNMENT SETS IT ALL UP TO DESTROY THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND PROFIT FROM EVERY ASPECT. PUTTING MILLIONS IN OF BLACKS JAIL FOR POSSESSING WEED WHILE WHITES GO FREE FOR USING COCAINE NATIONWIDE.
INFESTING A PEOPLE WITH DRUGS WAS USED BY THE BRITISH TO DESTROY THE CHINESE. ITS AN OLD TRICK. THE POINT IS THAT WHITES HAVE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN RATHER THAN MEND THE PROBLEM AND WOULD RATHER BLAME AND FURTHER CRIMINALIZE BLACKS THAN FACE UP THE THE FACTS OF THE DESTRUCTIVE ROLE THAT THEY PLAY. ITS A VISCOUS SPIRAL THAT CAN ONLY BE FIXED WHEN WHITES STEP FORWARD WITH A DETERMINATION THE END THEIR ROLE IN THE DESTRUCTION OF BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA.
NO MATTER HOW HARD RESPONSIBLE BLACK PEOPLE TRY, TO FIX THE PROBLEMS IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY THEY CANNOT SUCCEED, BECAUSE THE MAJORITY POPULATION PROFITS SO MUCH AND IS SO IN DENIAL ABOUT ITS ROLE.

I feel ya, and I'm no Al Sharpton fan in general, but I watched Trayvon's father and family lawyer on Sharpton's show yesterday and Sharpton was more responsible
with this approach than he has been in the past. And he gave the family a national platform to speak on whatever they wanted to speak on. In this matter, so far, Sharpton has done the family a service. Of course, he can't avoid but draw more attention to his network and show because that's automatic. But I feel ya.

NGOs, Politics, and More

what about soros?

As the saying goes: "Don't shoot the messenger."
http://actforamerica.wordpress.com/2011/10/16/why-u-s-military-in-uganda-soros-fingerprints-are-all-over-it/
A 2008 national oil and gas policy, proposed with aid from a Soros-funded group, was supposed to be a general road map for the handling and use of the oil. However, the policy’s recommendations have been largely ignored, with critics accusing Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni of corruption and of tightening his grip on the African country’s emerging oil sector.
Soros himself has been closely tied to oil and other interests in Uganda.
In 2008, the Soros-funded Revenue Watch Institute brought together stakeholders from Uganda and other East African countries to discuss critical governance issues, including the formation of what became Uganda’s national oil and gas policy.
Also in 2008, the Africa Institute for Energy Governance, a grantee of the Soros-funded Revenue Watch, helped established the Publish What You Pay Coalition of Uganda, or PWYP, which was purportedly launched to coordinate and streamline the efforts of the government in promoting transparency and accountability in the oil sector.
Also, a steering committee was formed for PWYP Uganda to develop an agenda for implementing the oil advocacy initiatives and a constitution to guide PWYP’s oil work.
PWYP has since 2006 hosted a number of training workshops in Uganda purportedly to promote contract transparency in Uganda’s oil sector.
PWYP is directly funded by Soros’ Open Society as well as the the Soros-funded Revenue Watch Institute. PWYP international is actually hosted by the Open Society Foundation in London.
The billionaire’s Open Society Institute, meanwhile, runs numerous offices in Uganda. It maintains a country manager in Uganda, as well as the Open Society Initiative for East Africa, which supports work in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
The Open Society Institute runs a Ugandan Youth Action Fund, which states its mission is to “identify, inspire, and support small groups of dedicated young people who can mobilize and influence large numbers of their peers to promote open society ideals.”
Soros group: Send military advisors to Uganda
In April 2010 Soros’ International Crisis Group, or ICG, released a report sent to the White House and key lawmakers advising the U.S. military run special operations in Uganda to seek Kony’s capture:
http://www.crisisgroup.org/en/regions/africa/horn-of-africa/uganda/157-lra-a-regional-strategy-beyond-killing-kony.aspx
The report states, “To the U.S. government: Deploy a team to the theatre of operations to run an intelligence platform that centralizes all operational information from the Ugandan and other armies, as well as the U.N. and civilian networks, and provides analysis to the Ugandans to better target military operations.”
Since 2008 the U.S. has been providing financial aid in the form of military equipment to Uganda and the other regional countries to fight Kony’s LRA, but Obama’s new deployment escalates the direct U.S. involvement.
Soros sits in the ICG’s executive board along with Samuel Berger, Bill Clinton’s former national security advisor; George J. Mitchell, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader who served as a Mideast envoy to both Obama and President Bush; and Javier Solana, a socialist activist who is NATO’s former secretary-general as well as the former foreign affairs minister of Spain.
Jimmy Carter’s national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, is the ICG’s senior advisor.
The ICG’s president emeritus is Gareth Evans, who, together with activist Ramesh Thakur, is the original founder of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, with the duo even coining the term “responsibility to protect.”
Both Evans and Thakur serve as advisory board members of the Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect, the main group pushing the doctrine.
As WND first exposed, Soros is a primary funder and key proponent of the Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect:
http://www.wnd.com/2011/03/278685/
Soros’ Open Society is one of only three nongovernmental funders of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. Government sponsors include Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Rwanda and the U.K.

More evidence Kony 2012 is

More evidence Kony 2012 is phony:
A Ugandan high school student made You Tube video disputing US Kony propaganda.  Check her out at www.youtube.com/user/slubogo
FYI on another news item:
Dr. James Petras, frequent contributor to indy sites such as counterpunch, was on 3/15/12 Progressive Radio News Hour (progressiveradionetwork.com, click on show name under Archives to access).  Petras reports that the lone GI gone postal on Afghan villagers story may be inaccurate.  Villagers report seeing several GIs laughing and shooting during the massacre.  The village was under watch of Special Forces who had previously confiscated weapons of male inhabitants and/or arrested them.  This would explain why men didn't defend against the GI onslaught.

As I have clearly shown White supremacy has existed in many places in the world without Zionism and it has been practiced by many Whites who have no use for, or love of, or any relationship with Jews or Judaism or Zionists. The oppression my family experienced in Jim Crow America was not orchestrated by an invisible all powerful Zionist cabal. Our oppressors were devout White Christians who represented many "mainstream" denominations. Because many if not most Jews identify themselves as White Westerners, when it suits them, it has been easy for them to jump on the White supremacist bandwagon just as Irish, Italians, Russians, etc. etc.etc. have done. If Zionism was to magically disappear tomorrow, White supremacy would still be alive and well, and it would still be killing and oppressing Black people here and elsewhere in the world. Meanwhile, the same people who used Zionism as an excuse to avoid taking the power and the reality of race and racism seriously would try to displace the blame for the ongoing situation to  other causes such as "class" or "human nature."

WHITE SUPREMACY TRUMPS ZIONISM

For at least 500 years the Western European agenda in Africa has been to exploit and to control the people and the natural resources of the entire continent. While it is true that some of the White invaders/oppressors were (and are) Jews, or Zionists, or even Israeli sympathizers,  many more have been (and are) mainstream Christian capitalists. Neither the Belgians, the Portuguese, nor the Rhodesians were noted for their love of Jews or of Zionism. All of them were White supremacists, and the colonies which they imposed on Black Africans reflected it.  Most Afrikaners were German sympathizers during WWI and Nazi sympathizers during WWII. Because of this, there was a near civil war between Afrikaners and English speaking Whites during that time. The relationship between racist Whites in Africa and Zionist Israel wasn't a love affair. It was all about two White Western minorities marooned by their own racist policies coming together and pooling their resources in order to help each other to remain in power and in control by keeping the oppression going. If the ANC wasn't completely submissive to White interests within South Africa and in the West, they would long ago have released all of the documents exposing how Israel, the United States and other freedom-loving Western governments actively supported the apartheid regime for decades. Instead, the ANC remains cuddly with Israel, preferring to spend what little remains of its moral capital, banning and silencing Black critics, and slavishly serving the West's neo liberal agenda. I'm not saying that Zionism doesn't exist or that it is a benign ideology. What I am saying is that, when one compares the two, White supremacy is the biggest killer and oppressor of Blacks in history, and,  for most of that time, it has been practiced without any aid from Zionists.

AFRICAN ILLITERACY TEST

I think that all wannabe White Western do-gooders should be required to take and to pass a basic competency test consisting of 50 to 100 questions, including multiple choice questions and at least one essay before they are allowed to speak on African issues, let alone take up any crusades in Africa.
1. Find Africa on a globe.
2. Name the capital of Africa.
3. Name two African presidents. Note: Nelson Mandela and Idi Amin don't count.
4. When was Africa decolonized? Note: this may be a trick question depending on a student's understanding of the term "colonized."
5. Name three or more raw materials which the West and the rest of the world import in bulk from Africa. Note: pick items other than diamonds, oil, or gold.
6. Name three or more indigenous African languages.
6a. Extra credit. Where are the languages spoken?
7. Describe in detail the belief systems and rituals of two or more indigenuos African religions.
8. Essay. In 300 words or less explain why you believe that your involvement in Africa is necessary and why you believe that your intervention that it will cause more good than harm.
