On the System














all the so-called "aware" folks on threads like this know that no BM, including President Obama, is in charge.The folks who decide if WIII will happen are all WM. Let's keep it real.

But some are still falling for the OLD CON GAME of racial scapegoating/distraction instead of facing the FACT that your worst enemy looks like the man or woman in the mirror.

At some point, you will have to make a choice: keep practicing racial politics OR deal with the real enemy to survive. It's just that simple.

@ UCCP

With 70% of BW being single parents, and 45% that will never marry, BW should be UP IN ARMS about all the defecting, interracial-dating BM, especially since MOST are leaving behind the black children they had with BW. I PERSONALLY know several BM who fit this description.

No other (sane) race of people, facing the problems that black folks currently face, would think it was acceptable to divide and conquer themselves, especially when faced by a powerful enemy that is literally stripping away EVERY so-called economic and employment gain that blacks have made over the last 40 years.

Nor would a sane (or self-respecting) male put the female of his oppressor on a pedestal OR put his precious time, money, love, and energy toward ENRICHING his own enemies instead of taking care of his OWN black women and children.

And for those who are confused about who this enemy is -- it's time to pick up a book and READ ABOUT YOUR HISTORY -- both past and present.

There are all kinds of indications that blacks are under severe systematic attack on every level, and we better start taking this SERIOUSLY..With the ECONOMY literally deconstructing right in front of our faces, with a black unemployment rate of OVER 26% and rising, with over ONE MILLION black people rotting in prisons, making one dollar a day for the prison industrial complex, with BM being the MOST LIKELY to be unemployed regardless of education, with the Jena Six, Katrina, and Sean Bell-type shootings on the rise, with the increase of white extremists groups who are arming up and doing WEAPONS TRAINING after the election of the "first black" prez (who doesn't address a SINGLE BLACK ISSUE);

Hell, the list is too long for this thread, and too damn long for a sane black person to ignore... and that is the problem, some of us are literally insane... I got to be blunt about this.. In light of the plight of black folks today, there are too many black folks who think coming together as a race is NOT a necessity even as they lose ground, jobs, homes, and their minds...

It is what I believe is the TOTAL psychological assimilation (destruction) of the black mind, to the point where some black folk have become so subtly INSANE that we see the world and ourselves and each other through "white eyes"

In other words, they think like white folks, are white-identified, and somehow, actually believe that they will be treated like white folks when the deal goes down.

Even as we (black folk) LOSE all the economic and employment gains that took our ANCESTORS over FORTY YEARS to accumulate.

We dismiss the rising racism as just "those ignorant white folks" instead of seeing it for what it is: SYSTEMATIC RACISM.

we skip along, all hugged up with white Mary and Bobby and think our romantic choices make us better (and safer) than being with other black folks.

And we don't understand that the efforts of the white media/system to divide and conquer the BM and BW have been SUCCESSFUL,  we don't see the mental trick bag of a BM (like bluebeam) who makes ugly and contemptuous comments about the women of his race are part of the problem, forgetting that his mother, sisters, and daughters (if he has any) are BLACK FEMALES.

And in their ignorance, BM like this forget that the MAIN reason so many BW do not like the hair on their heads is because WE BM are always rewarding, loving, and praising white and white-looking females who have straight or long hair on their heads.

It is a FACT that all this integration and interracial dating/breeding/and marrying has made us WEAKER not STRONGER as a people

It is also a FACT that this was all by design, that the white media pushed this concept on us by rewarding those celebrities who do it, by making movies and TV shows that push the notion that IR [interracial] is a better alternative than LOVING EACH OTHER.

And we still don't see the mind game, the trick, the trap and the plan to destroy our race, but I guarantee you, in the coming days, we will completely understand once the consequences hit home....

__________________________________

Do you also OPPOSE racism when someone white is practicing it?

If your only interest in BW is purely physical then it AND you are no different than the long, long, long list of white males throughout the centuries who have enjoyed black flesh but are UNWILLING to oppose or give up the benefits of white privilege (racism) while doing so...

I would greatly advise sisters to keep comments like Maxwell's in a HISTORICAL perspective, because it may NOT be the compliment you think it is....

two questions for all the BM on this thread who are reading this:

If today, something happened, you got sick, got arrested, got in a jam, got beaten up by the police, or falsely accused of a crime....

who would YOU call first?

would it be your (black) momma?

Your black sister, cousin, auntie, female friend?

What organization would you hope would come to your aid if you were unjustly accused or beaten?

would it be a black organization?
a white organization?
a Hispanic organization?
an Asian Organization?

if you're not sure of the answer think back about a year or so, when the Jena Six hit the news about those 6 teenage black boys facing felonies for a simple schoolyard fight in Jena, Louisiana, and who started the movement to save the Jena Six (a college age young black female)

and who rode those buses for hours, dropping school and work commitments to stand up for six black male STRANGERS, the MAJORITY OF FOLKS WHO RODE THAT BUS WERE BLACK FEMALES there were NO Asian females, NO Hispanic females and maybe a few white females those who do not appreciate what they have will LOSE what they need the most\when they NEED it the most..

No doubt about it and you hit the nail on the head as both are right for DIFFERENT reasons and one CONTROLS their mental more than the other. Blackness represents that they desire the MOST but could NEVER be and that is genetic DOMINANCE. There is TWO TRUTHS that even THEIR scientist and anthropologists could NOT refute, in fact THEY agreed: 1). ALL humans on the ENTIRE planet derived from Africa.That Blacks ARE the WORLDS parents. And 2). That whites are genetically recessive(Including red hair, blue eyes, blond hair, etc)which means they are GENETICALLY weaker. Polar OPPOSET of Black genetics. And when you couple that knowledge along with their UNDYING FEAR that if left unchecked or CONTROLED Blacks and others of COLOR(every other race stems from us as well and while their genetics are not as strong as Blacks, they are stronger than whites)would soon CONTROL them and they CAN'T abide that or take a CHANCE on that occurring. Dark skin reminds them of their genetics as lighter skin represents genetic weakness in comparison to Dark, Dark skin. That's WHY the Dark/African look is TAUGHT by whites to be the UGLIEST thing on earth. And sadly, most of us agree.

And in actuality, the whites that are getting their butts done are the ones that are chasing after black men for 1. And those that are getting their lips, breasts, and a tan is because there are whites that have full lips, darker skin(and I'm speaking on other ethnics, who are more prone to have the darker skin, full lips, and curves that have been allowed to call themselves white also) and any woman with curves is to be admired.
 I don't see them trying to be as black women. I don't feel they are trying to emulate blacks, it just so happens that black women are more inclined to have full lips, bigger breasts/butts, and of course darker. Which to me is a compliment because that's what they admire and would like to have as well.
And they are very jealous of a beautiful black woman that usually has all of that.

edud01 Moderator 11 hours ago in reply to Disabuse
NOT SO!!! You DON'T have the POWER to reproduce in GREAT numbers like Blacks and other non-whites. The POWER you claim to have is NOT the GENETIC power you desire the MOST. And because you DON'T have genetic SUPERIORITY(The SOURCE of your JEALOUSIES)you have to use morally corrupt means in an attempt to CONTROL non-white population growth. But, EVEN that is NOT enough. In Vitro fertilization, test tube babies, cloning, etc have go you walking around looking like CLOWNS and has done NOTHING to advance your birth rates or genetic INFERIORITIES. Despite your so-called power, you STILL live with the KNOWLEDGE that MOST of the world(Which IS non-white)DESPISE you and look at you as a FREAK of Nature. Genetically speaking, you have NOTHING to brag about.

"To make a long story short, an uncle tom, self loathing neggro board member, threw a monkey wrench in any special consideration for minorities for any reason. So you now have blacks with 3.7 AND HIGHER GPA's that STRUGGLE to enter the UC system and ultimately get rejected.."
Mike, excellent comments. Permit me to opine a little on your above observation. Many of the black commentators on this board often argue that both Republicans and democrats are basically anti blakc interest. Actually, they mostly have a a problem with black people's alliance with the Democratic party. Their argument is usually that the democrats take black people for a ride. However, when you look at policies, the Republicans are the ones gutting funds from any program that black people benefit from. Education is one major area where Republicans have gutted. The most affected people by the drastic cuts made in education are blacks, and hispanics. Black school districts have lost many schools due to closure, and many teachers in those school districts have lost jobs. And to speak to instance where a black person would argue against any consideration for black students seeking admission to ivy league colleges, that black person is often a black republican/conservative.
Today, the people responsible for rolling back the gains that black people have made over years of struggle, are white republicans. In Texas, they passed an education bill that basically re-writes history. Ethnic studies (Black and Latino history) are no longer taught as part of the curriculum. The hispanics there are still fighting to overturn it. If there is any initiative that is proposed that may help black or any other minority, Republicans block it with all their might. The fought affirmative action in Michigan, and succeeded in overturning any consideration for minorities into the University of Michigan Law school. This has been the trend, yet many black commentators here seem to wilfully ignore these facts and would argue against blacks-democratic party alliance or support. In a political chess game of this nature, what alternatives are the these people offering? Black people cannot simply cease participation in politics, but is the alternative then to throw support behind a party that cuts educaton budget, but has enough resources to build new and more prisons? Is it in black people's interest to follow the very people who wants to disenfranchise black people? I bring this up not because I think democrats are so pro black people's interest, but the fact is, we should be honest enough to pin point the people responsible for our diminishing returns rather than blurring the lines and playing that equalization game.

 We shouldn't have complained, marched or protested  about Jim Crow either , I mean many Blacks sincerely believed White folks would eventually have given us Civil Rights. I got you and hear you loud and clear.I'm not surprised. In my 50+ yrs of being an American Black man, I know when we remain silent our problems GET WORSE that includes mocking, making fun and denigrating Black folks. We can NEVER be silent. I suggest you tell the Jews to stop complaining when they THINK they been slighted..

As you are my INFERIOR, you must be an INSECT if I am an idiot. At any rate, Cesar Chavez and Angela Davis BOTH have long histories of commitment to the struggle of their people, and of oppressed people generally. Cesar Chavez--definitely no comrade of yours--was rooted in the struggle of the Latino people, surtout Latino working class folk. Angela Davis has been rooted in the Black Liberation Movement since the mid-1960s. Both suffered for freedom of their people, and oppressed people in general. As far as I know, you contributed NOTHING to the struggles of Black people or anyone else. Maybe because you're too busy admiring Mickey Mouse Romney and your beloved Uncle Joe Stalin. You buckdancing hypocritical son of a mongoose.

I've studied history, and know something about which white folk ADVANCED the cause of FREEDOM, and which one obstructed freedom. You resemble the latter crowd of smelly reactionaries who are not only enemies of Black people, but even of white people. Whites who are willing to burn Black a_-- while kissing white elite a_----, and selling other whites down the river. People like you must be neutralized. They will be no place for your in the new America.

Peut-etre je veux obtenir la double nationalite: La France et Les Etats-Unis. Mais je dois imprimer tres fort mon Francais. Ma famille et mon peuple (les Afro-Americains) sont ici. Mais il y'a beacouup des choses Francais qui j'aime tres fort. I could never abandon the USA. For one thing I cannot abandon my family the the ongoing struggles of African-Americans for liberation and social justice. But I would love to also have France as another home. And France has a growing Black population, and a much larger Left than we do. Mais il faut reapprendre la Francais.

Le terrorisme, c'est le terrorisme! Mussulman, chretian, Juif, Hindu, gaucheiste,,fascis te, Droitiste,KKK, Nazi, etc. I don't care your ideology or religion when you willfully slaughter civilians. I can even understand that in a just struggle carried out by armed force innocent people may be killed unintentionally. La Resistance en France et les autres pays sometimes killed innocent people unintentionally (The unavoidability of this is one reason why I lean toward the idea of NONVIOLENT REVOLUTION). But to intentionally target civilians is inexcusable.

I happen to KNOW that at least one COINTELPRO agent infiltrated the Bmore chapter of the Panthers all the way up to the leadership level. Political prisoner Marshall Eddy Conway was trying to expose them, but was himself railroaded to prison. He's still there. Much--probably MOST--of the so-called criminal activity associated with the Panthers were initially done or provoked by the FBI operatives. One I named an operative in my school newspaper. He threatened to sue me and the paper. I DARED him (and knew several former Panther sisters and brothers who'd witness to his treachery). The scumbag's reply: SILENCE.

I’ve been slowly reading all of your comments and letting them sink in. The thing to overstand is Yurugu’s goal is to turn us into THEM. So pornography is a great way to introduce demonism to our culture. It also makes us more disconnected from each other and ourselves as we debase ourselves to their animal level.
Anal sex has the power to conjure demons. Which is why to join their forces of darkness, one must submit in that fashion. It’s all a game of mind control and many of us have fallen prey.
As for beastiality and scatophilia…that is apart of their history. Where do you think syphilis came from? I have not heard of blacks engaging in that…yet…but there are some of us that are so mentally sick in our desire to “be like them” that we’ll submit to that as well.

Do Blacks get TRUTH in school, or white versions of truth and history? If not why?...white supremacy. While wearing paints hanging low is indeed bad, it has nothing to do with REPRESSING others, and that style is No different than whites walking around with purple/green hair or safety pins in their face, or black lips/finger nails, etc. And if Black on Black crime/murder is NOT influenced by white supremacy what IS the Reason? And if white supremacy and white supremest "systems" play NO part in Black lives, WHY did your mother raise you in a crack/gun infested neighborhood??? Surely she could have located a safer environment for you to live in. WITHOUT outside influence(white supremest social structures)she HAD to make a DECESION to live in that neighborhood. WHY would she do that??? Like MOST you are arguing both sides. Either white supremacy and white supremest "systems" exist or it doesn't. Like many, you realized that SOMETHING was WRONG(Your living environment)and made a decision to escape, good for YOU.However, many are "caught up in the "system" at an early age(Most are indoctrinated at an early age to the superior/inferior "game"-Recall the famous Doll experiment)and don't recognize it until it's too late, IF ever.  And like MANY successful Blacks, once YOU have made it you want to PRETEND that white supremacy/racism does NOT exist to the extent it does(as YOU are evidence of that). If white supremacy is NOT to blame for "100% of black folks problems...", what PERCENTAGE are they responsible for???

Obama 2004 Senate Race a Setup Beyond What You've Indicated

I've talk about this subject before here @ BAR.
Obama's from my home town, so I heard of him before his apparent  sudden burst [out of no-where] onto the public national stage in 2004. The first thing that seemed odd / peculiar was that the first & thus far only Black woman US senator from IL, Carol Mosely Braun [1992 - 1998], who had a good chance to regain her senate seat, instead chose to run in the Dim's 2004 primaries for POTUS- for which she had absolutely NO chance! [How many  even remember her 2004 run in the Dim's POTUS primaries?]! This was particularly odd since in the early to mid 2000s the IL Repug party was in quite a bit of disarray. YET- This did conveniently set the stage for Obama to run for US senator from IL without having to go up against a Black woman Dim ex-senator [Ms Braun]. Thus Obama wins the IL Dims primary race for US senator. PS: Ironically Obama backed Rahmbo over Ms Braun in Chicago's 2011 mayoral race, where Rahmbo trounced her as Chi-town's Blacks went overwhelmingly w Rahmbo based on Obama's endorsement.
The second odd / peculiar thing that happened in the IL's 2004 race for US senator was, as you've alluded to, how IL Repug Jack Ryan's candidacy blew-up in his face- due the embarrassing, yet personal / private & non-criminal / non-nefarious, circumstances of his divorce from actress Jeri Ryan. How is it that the sealed [by mutual agreement of both Jack & Jeri] divorce records in Hollywood, were ordered unsealed by request of Chicago's news outlets & papers- which the power elites knew full well that this info, though showing NO hint of criminal scandal [IE: wife-abuse, etc], was personally embarrassing enough to effectively torpedo Repug Jack Ryan's senate race??? End Result- The door to the US senate was swung wide open for the 'Obama Candidate' [what happened in this case was basically unprecedented]. As Ryan's replacement- Alan Keyes' bid was essentially a d_____ joke. Keyes, who's also 'Black', was NOT even from IL, thus the heads of IL's Repug party [which sank even further into disarray after the Ryan fiasco] FAILED to even support him.
Obviously the 'Obama Candidate' used his US senate seat as a spring board to the Oval Office! As Beverly indicates- Just how in H_---- did John McCain pick such an obvious nit-wit like Sarah's [ailin] Palin for his running-mate??! Also of interest is the fact that Obama's first degree [1983] is in political science from Columbia U- specializing in foreign affairs- & wrote his thesis on the USSR. At same time Zig-Zag Brzezinski, a known expert on foreign affairs especially RE: Russia / the USSR, was a tenured Prof of Columbia U's political science dept. So who shows up as  the 'Obama Candidate's' top foreign policy wonk during Obama's 2008 bid for POTUS- None other than Ole Zig-Zag!!!
PS- FYI: Also interesting is that when Obama graduated from Columbia U, he worked a yr or so for a firm that reportedly had ties to the CIA [IE: a CIA front].
PS2: Let not forget Obama's white momma was related to several US Pres IE: Bush Jr & Sr [& Cheney], LBJ, FDR, James Madison  as well as Robert E Lee & the late UK PM Winston Churchill!

All of Mark Dice's videos (including this one) has racist undertones to it. Always undermining, mocking, and condescending black people. Plenty of black people make intellectual comments your channel, and you just pick the most ignorant of them all and then assume the author of the comment is black? I don't buy it, Mark. I sent to high school with white people like you - you get excited at your sub-par ability to mock black people while simultaneously having them agree to it.


Mark why even say "n______" ? Ive always enjoyed your videos and respected your views but when you say unnecessary/unneeded stuff like that, it makes u look ignorant when your clearly to smart to not see how that could offend people and take away from any point you are making. (and the more u bring up kissing a "black girl" the more suspect u look lol)

Keith1818... Makes me wanna Holler..

Keith, even you can lead it.  It doesn't matter who and I think you are as qualified as anyone.  I am sitting in the local arena when it goes down, be it Cobo in the "D" or the "Omni" in ATL or the local auditorium in middle America.
I feel as impotent as anyone White, Black, Brown, Red or Purple given the present set of circumstances.
But I believe this in my heart (and I don't have a FB page) that in this EPOCH OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND VISUAL MESSAGING the visual imagery/sight of NONVOTERS-- "let's call ourselves the US REFUSNIKS if you will-- gathering in one place on the eve of a national election TO SHOW THE WORLD, we are mad as hell and we ain't taking it no more, MAY be revolutionary.  And MAY put some skid's on the US's PHONY moral authority, which is rooted in the LIE   of participatory democracy as well as the lie of HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION, the second based on the aforementioned PREDICATE LIE of the former.
John F. Kennedy shunned MLK for 2 reasons (and perhaps several others).  Kennedy needed the Southern Vote to win relection (raw politics).  And indeed, Nixon catapulted this reality into a decades long trend:  i.e..  The Southern Strategy.  Second, MLK refused to "stay in his lane." When he became HOLISTIC (and g/God-breathed) and intertwined concerns of domestic oppression with international oppression....and how the US of A wasted  federal fiscal resources to invest in the military complex versus alleviating the sufferings of the human condition at home, he signed is death warrant.  And if you listen to him he KNEW it... Martin knew he was going to die for speaking truth to power.
But here's the LIBERATING part:  In the words of one of my most admirable  White Progressive Bloggers Joe Bageant, "No one gets outta here alive."  (R.I.P. Joe).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Bageant
Keith.  If all of us fair-minded, people-caring folks in this world spent just 20% of our time, planning, resources (cash and in-kind) on just a few achievable and relatively modest symbolic and practical issues, if might make a slight difference versus spending a similar amount of time and resources on voting for those whom are destined to either screw or betray us. I am  speaking in terms of a STATUS QUO that either serves up CAPITULATION to the powers-that-be or devolves into SELF-AGGRANDIZEMENT.

GWBush Sr & Jr Are Descendents of the British Royal Family...

Its probably true that the Bushes are descendents of the Mayflower gang; but I know for a fact they are decendents of the British Royal family as is/was John Kerry, & Obama's Mama, FDR, Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, etc... If you really study these facts you probably conclude that the US Presidency is in effect an extension of the British Royal Family.
IMO: The core issue is not the Puritans [which is not to deny anything you pointed out above], nor Dims vs Repugs, nor so-called 'Liberal' vs conservative, nor Capitalism vs Communism- these are just different fascists of the core issue. For non-white people the core issue is White Supremacy & White Domination over non-whites- Thats NOT to condenm white folks per-se' -but- any-one white or non-white infected w the madness of White-Supremacy! And make no-mistake about it- House-Negros like O-bomb-em, Susan & Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Uncle Judge Thomas, etc- are products of white-supremacy- thus they've bought into this white-supremacist system hook-line-&-Stinker! Bro Omali Yeshitela, chairman of the Black Is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations, articulated so well -  “We’ve got to uproot this system {of white supremacy}, so that our people & all people of the World can live,” - He went on further to explain that the concept of the Euro {white}Race was invented in the 1600s in order to unify whites, even those who had no personal stake in slavery, vis-a-vis non-whites whose cultures were under attack by & whose lands, resources & even the people [Africans] themselves were being stolen by Europeans infected w the madness of white-supremacy!

So Right

You hit the nail on the head, Nixakliel, Euro/white supremacy is a form of mental disorder.  How could any sane person even imagine that they were superior to a fellow human being?  Yet, many societies past and present are infected with this madness.
The disease vectors are parents, community, religious and educational institutions and media.  It is a sad fact that humans are prone to propaganda that makes them feel good at someone else's expense.
It is telling that the English, under Cromwell and other monarchs honed their tools of genocide against their neighbors in Ireland, Scotland and Wales long before they were aware of this hemisphere.  Those neighbors in turn became hyperagressive and hyperviolent partners with the English in Euro/white supremacy crimes against Native Americans, Africans, Asians and Native Australians.
Violence begets violence....

Scribes for the Empire

These Right Wing bastards will give no quarter, we shouldn't be surprised or taken aback.
Let's take for example, Steven Brill's Time Magazine article on our health-care system OVERCHARING consumers to high heaven, like $10 bucks for a d_--- Tylenol capsule.  Brills opus seems to have never grasped the media's attention.  Interesting how they glossed over his meticulous research.  Wonder how many Post or NY Times Op eds or editorials emanated from that piece?
Did we hear anybody pushing for Congressional Hearings?
It's tantamount to the situation in Iraq, where, on the day of the so-called Boston Marathon bombing, OVER 100 Iraqi's died in bombings .  The violence in Iraq is numbing and the media's OUTRIGHT CENSORSHIP of it GALLING.
But let's face it, this is the evil, wicked Orwellian world we live in.
And please, for the sake of everybody's sanity, please stop thinking the situation is going to improve, because it won't.  Wait til the Koch Bros. purchase the L.A. Times or similar mouthpiece, they will make Wm. Randolph's Hearst's Yellow Journalism seem tame by comparison.
The Right Wingers got this shiggity down to a science.  I heard sorry a______ Al Sharpton on Tom Joyner this morning, talking about Obama's appointment of 2 or 3  Elite Negroes to a few lousy cabinet openings. (looks like the "new" Civil Rights paradigm)  Al claims that it resulted from his (and other's) push when they sat down with the White House.  And he took a swipe at us folks who support BAR by alleging some folks don't understand that you don't have to call something a Black Agenda in order for it to be a Black Agenda.
Whoopee Al, a couple of Elite, do-nothing Negroes get appointments from Obama IN HIS SECOND/LAME DUCK TERM, and that's Black progress?  (With Tom Joyner co-signing like a good c______n).   I'm telling yall right now we not only f***ked, we double f**ked, thanks to Cathy Hughes and Black America's embrace of the Black Minstrel radio shows that for some are their primary news source.
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Steven-Brill-s-Time-Maga-by-Trudy-Lieberman-130310-350.html
Steven Brill's taboo-busting X-ray of the US medical system, "Bitter Pill," has a chance to reframe the way we think and talk--and report--about healthcare costs.
In a penetrating, systemic, and long (36 pages) look at medical care , US style, for Timemagazine, with tale after tale of the financial miseries befalling the system's victims, with number after number bolstering his analysis, Brill zooms in on the nation's unrealistic and destructive healthcare costs--why they exist and persist.
Brill, a journalist and an entrepreneur, offers the media a rare chance to move beyond the fence that usually corrals this discussion. High healthcare costs are spawned by a powerful ethic in American medicine that is too often nurtured by the press, an ethic that dictates that the medicine men--doctors, hospitals, and drug companies--sit at the right hand of God and deserve all they can get. Brill's article crashes right through that fence, in fact, and provides the stuff for further productive reporting.
"When we debate health care policy," he writes, "we seem to jump right to the issue of who should pay the bills, blowing past what should be the first question: Why exactly are the bills so high?" Precisely. Brill gives us some answers, too, not based on quotes from the self-serving players we hear from so often in this dreary debate, but based on serious investigation .

@ Mariama
I didn’t mean to bash “black leaders” because it is NOT their fault that they do NOT have more power in a white supremacy system. And the focus should be on the WHITE PEOPLE IN CHARGE, not on the failure of black leadership — in my opinion.
I think some of them — like most of us, including MYSELF– are caught in the trap of trying to thrive and survive in a white supremacy system–which is almost impossible UNLESS we cooperate with that SYSTEM in some manner.
While I don’t support them, I don’t want to condemn them — but I do understand your frustration which a lot of black people share
but what winds up happening is we wind up KICKING THE (black) CARS instead of going after the (white) DRIVERS
and in the end, we have not done a thing to dismantle the system of white supremacy that created AND deformed black leadership.
I think ALL black people must work on becoming LEADERS OF ONE, meaning we take what we can use from other people, and learn how to follow the LOGIC for ourselves.
Regarding white people and their selective memories, I think they know that MOST of what they say about black and non-white people is NOT TRUE (a lie)
but they SAY IT to convince their non-white victims that they are inferior and to maintain the system of white supremacy AND white privilege.
white people know what other white people do AND what they are inclined to do
Just like they know what black people do and are inclined to do
because they have STUDIED US for over 500 years.
that’s why when CNN’s John King made that statement about a “dark-skinned” (aka a black) male, I believe HE and ALL involved knew that it probably WASN’T

Ron Paul I thought was useful to stir things up. In still think it would have been a good thing if he'd been elected President.
However, I cannot go along with his libertarian extremism, as in asserting there should be no public schools, no govt involvement at all in the provision of medical care, etc.
Rand, espousing the same “libertarian” ethos, however acts like a typical Tea Party shill for corporate interests... the populist version of the 80's yuppie/rich redneck conservative. He is doing nothing to confront corporate power, or the “corporatism” identified by his father.
Rand Paul I think has value in being one of the extremist nutcases who is going to do even more damage to the GOP than Reaganomics/Dubya have done.

I was on Howard University's campus on the day Rand Paul arrived. I was too busy to attend his talk, but some of my students were there. These Howard students were not impressed with Rand Paul. They knew about his attitude towards Civil Rights. Also, they already knew that some Republicans---LIBERAL REpublicans--had contributed to the founding of the NAACP. These upper middle class intellectual black youth (not to mention their profs)were somewhat taken aback that Mr. Paul didn't know that this was OLD NEWS for most of them. They also knew that rhe Republican Party of 1909 was a different animal than today's Party.
Some students also knew that there were SOCIALISTS among the founders of the NAACP as well.....something that Rand Paul would not be so excited about.

Empty right wing rhetoric. The government, unfortunately, is largely an extension of the corporate structure.
Actually, one is then "shackled" by corporate power indirectly when one has a government job, and more directly in the private sector. It's a form of corporate serfdom.
The equating of the "left" (itself an often vague notion) with "plantation owners" is simple, mindless pish posh. There are no plantation owners in the 21 st Century, or so few you can easily count them.
When there WERE slaveholding plantation owners, it was mainly from the AMERICAN LEFT---the ABOLITIONISTS and rebel slaves themselves--that the staunchest opposition to the plantation owners came.
The plantation owners themselves were the most RIGHT WING element in American political life.
Hence your equating of the "left" with real or imaginary plantation owners is sheer fabrication.
But while the dominant class in America was once the planterrs, they are today the CORPORATE oligarchy. The corporate 1% are the nearest equivalent to planters of yesteryear. And BOTH parties are in bed with the corporate elite to some extent. But the Democrats are more like the corporate mistress, while the REpublicans are more like the WIFE.
It is from the LEFT that the main opposition to corporate power comes. And the largest single ethnic basis of progressive opposition to corporate power in the national Black Commmunity.

Actually, they're simply trying to improve their lives. if they meet solidarity rather than hostility from American born workers, then working people as a whole will gain. If they meet hostility and xenophobic animosity, the bosses will offer them jobs and benefits at maybe half of what they pay an American born worker. And if some of the better paid American workers are displaced, they will have partly brought this on themselves for directing their hostility toward immigrants rathern than the 1%. Same thing as when my people migrated from the rural South to the urban industrial north during WWI and WWII. Progressive unionists like the IWW aside, far too many white workers complained that lower paid Black workers were doign them out of their jobs. But were it not for their stupid racism, they may have formed bonds of solidarity with my fathers and grandfathers, demanding decent and equal wages and work conditions for ALL. That would have made it difficult, maybe impossible, for the plutocrats to play one agains the aother.

What is a "conservative" (sic) Black person ?
A Black man like Herman Cain that wants to "conserve" - the basic meaning of conservative - a social order and a global organization conceived by whitey for whitey that is marginalizing Black people and downplaying Black cultures.

So yes these guys are not just "Uncle Toms" but really "Stephens", the vicious butler in Django Unchained that is actively supporting the white matrix.

Basically in the USA, "conservatives" are attracting less than 10% of the Black voters. It shows that the large majority of Black people have exactly the same analysis than me and do not condone the KKKluxer Walter's friends.
Plain and simple.
Nearly all so-called "conservative" Black posters on Topix are fakes and socks ...

Can't talk Rethuglican w/o talking Militarism

Wanted to share this excellent blog at Common Dream.  Isn't it fascinating that Liberals and African Americans not only remain silent about Obama's militarism, but they REFUSE to tie it Federal budget decisions, like Martin Luther King Jr. did.  And adding insult to injury they have the sickening audacity to put Obama in King's lineage.  Food for thought:
Money for Militarism, not for People: Obama’s Betrayal of Social Security
by Dave Lindorf

I recommend checking out the comments also.  Here's an example:

$30 trillion sits hidden in offshore tax havens, the majority of it from unimaginably wealthy Americans.
One out of three large corporations pays no taxes in a given year.
Reclaiming these lost revenues is not even part of the deficit discussion because the discussion is controlled by six media companies with interlocking boards of directors.
Comcast, Disney, Viacom and Fox decide the parameters of all debate in this country and they've decided that the debate will not include having the elite pay taxes.
Any suggestions outside the officially sanctioned debate are considered non-serious and are thus censored.
Until the licenses to broadcast over the public airwaves are ripped from the talons of the media megaliths and returned to their rightful owners, the public, nothing will change.
Whoever controls the media controls the county. Period.

Food for thought: to the Right of Nixon?

For the record, I submit that Richard Nixon was 10x more progressive in his legislation and policies than Obama.
Think about how far we've come, where moderate Republican policies of days gone by are more progressive than present day "Liberal" Democrat policies.
Sure Nixon was a crook, but ALL politicians are crooks and all U. S. Presidents war criminals, none excepted.

REALITY Here's the deal, the REAL DEAL. Immigrants (legal or not) are HERE, and they're here to STAY. It is estimated that there are about 12 million "illegals. " If you want to have a regime like that of Hitler or Stalin you can attempt mass deportation. The only alternative--a meaningful alternative relevant to REALITY---is to allow the attainment of citizenship rights by those who want to becoem citizens, or other forms of legal residence. I think MOST would prefer legal citizenship. Secondly, for working people--fi you don't wish to be DUPED by the 1% into a counterproductive racial conflict with immigrants which would harm ALL working people---then support citizenship rights, opt for SOLIDARITY, and insit on DECENT WAGES and WORKING CONDITIONS for ALL AMERICANS. Otherwise, you will be CRUSHED (along with the immigrants) under the iron hill of the plutocracy.

West is no MLK. MLK would

West is no MLK. MLK would never have gotten on the Obama bandwagon from the get go. Dr. West is no dummy; he knows as much about the issues as BAR editors do. But instead of raising important questions and criticisms when Obama came on the scene, West dutifully jumped on the Obamabot bandwagon.  People such as he with access to a mainstream public soapbox should have spoken up and made demands way back 2007.  Just as with Obama, some may use the excuse for West that he couldn't say too much for fear of his job, the white power structure, etc. MLK wouldn't have feared such; he would have spoken out early and often. I wonder who West voted for last November? It's hard to be impressed by the good professor as he comes off as wishy washy. Like many on the Left, he ties himself in knots trying to sugar coat and rationalize Obama's evildoings instead of telling it like it is as the good BAR editors do weekly.

Obama Re-Elected by 95% Black, 70% Hispanic, just 40% White Vote

How did Rahmbo, the guy who is now aims to close as many as 60 CPS schools this yr, all in Black Chicago neighborhoods, get elected by crushing the first & thus far only Black Woman ever to be a US Senator [Chicago's Carol Mosely Braun]??? Because his fellow Chi-Town home-boy Obama told Chi-Town black human beings to vote for Rahmbo, & they did just that [not sure how many Hispanics voted for Rahmbo but I suspect over 50%]!
How did Race to the Bottom's Arne Duncan, a guy who's only qualified to be a jr hi-school basketball coach / PE teacher [he's an ex semi-pro basketball player], get to be Sec of ED??? Because his Chi-Town basketball chum Obama picked him for the job that's how!  If a Repug like Newt Grinch-witch had said what Arne Duncan said that 'Katrina is the very best thing to ever happen to New Orleans schools...', Black folks would have been up in arms. So why haven't Blacks demanded that Duncan even apologize, let alone insist that Obama kick his a_--- to the curb??!!

Sincere on said:
I laugh too. The 1st Black President of the western world was Vicente Ramón Saldaña Guerrero aka Guerrero Negro or Black Warrior. He was Mexico’s 2nd President. He abolished slavery before Lincoln. Like Garvey he too was slain by his main man/2nd in command. Yanga Veracruz, free slave state/municipality like Haiti , lead by Yanga himself a maroon/runaway slave like Toussaint. This the closest we will have to high ranking leadership that cared/layed their lives down behind POC. To those watching us: I now know who I am & The Power I possess. Yes, you should worry.

Great exchange Bev and Keith 1818

Please allow "King Solomon" to "split the baby."
In the interest of full disclosure I was a proponent of immigration reform and accordingly  vigorously debated those posters who took the contra position.  Now I understand where they were coming from CLEARER.  Those Bruhs and Sis were warning us that "we are on our own, that no ethnic or racial group would reciprocate our "love," or match our equanimity, well damn, I have to agree with them now.
So when you factor into the mix Obama's abysmal "jobs policy/programs, particularly w/r/t to African Americans whose plight continues unabated, you "get it" that Immigration Reform while FACIALLY valid and the humanitarian thing to promote, will simply put Black folks back another 10 or 20 years.  Because the inescapable truth is that the type of jobs "exempted" in the Immigration Reform Package are precisely the type of jobs, under-skilled, under-educated or post-prison Blacks are most suitable for.
So I have no doubt BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT WILL RISE, due to Immigration Reform.  How can it not?  I challenge ANYONE to refute me.
So what is the lesson learned?  We can all change our thought process and should as we receive and discern additional information.  This is the crux of my debate with LifeLongStudent who's analysis I otherwise concur with.
West gets indicted (like a whole slew of other educated/professional Black folks who should know better) for being too intelligent not to suspect that Obama would be a corporate tool given all the SIGNIFYING Obama did in his sorry bio and associated speeches.
But perhaps West  dreamnt for a moment and was induced to rationally think the guy would be an improvement over the last one, or a half-ass Liberal worse case.  Despite his earlier Kook-Aid drunkenness, I give West credit for putting it all on the line by speaking truth to power now when it became apparent we (or yall) voted in Bush 3, and not even a poor substitute of a moderate Rethug like Nelson Rockefeller or Jack Kemp.
West ain't MLK ( and Obama d_---- sure ain't FDR or LBJ, not even Tricky Dick), but I'll take any public intellectual willing to risk fame and fortune who will speak truth to power.  It's a different media/format era also and that presents different problematics on its own.
p.s.  Wonder how Jay-Z's Cuba trip and his new song/release about the same will shape either him or the media that used to kiss his behind (as a empire water carrier)??  Stay tuned, let's see if he and Beyonce will remain on the WH "A-List" or be Blackballed??
C. N.  I'm taking bets on you know what.  Wonder if Jay-Z will REDISCOVER his "ghetto" roots once he discerns (IF he discerns) the Obamas giving him the cold shoulder in order to pacify Rush Limbaugh's audience.  LOL  Is Jay-Z bout to be a Sista Souljah remix???!!  "Who knew!?"
p.s.s.  Moving forward, let's see how frequent West or Tavist appear on Bill Maher, will they equal appearances by Michelle McGhee Bootlicker John Legend?  Inquiring minds want to know.  Stay tuned Boys and Girls.

Well, I wasn't thiking much about the distinction between "legal" and "illegal " because the difference, at least in regard of the point I was making, seems minimal. Legal or illegal, immigrants come seeking a better life. That is nearly always the case. They wouldn't come here for a fraction of the wages American born workers receive (less even than is paid to African American workers) if they weren't seeking a better life. But corrupt businessmen want them here because they can pay them lower wages, usually rely on them being unorganized and defenseless, and have available as weapons against such workers the threat of deportation and nativist American xenophobia. If anything, they're commonly living clandestine lives of quiet desperation. Remember that you have to apply for welfare, medical assistance and other such benefits. How many are willing to expose themselves by applying for such benefits? How many would have trouble circumnavigating the system if they've little or no knowledge of English? For the more enlightened American born worker the attitude, on both moral and political grounds, must be SOLIDARITY with fellow workers (regardless of race, creed, national original, legal status, etc), the call for full citizenship rights, and decent wages, benefits and working conditions for ALL. Any other position is probably unethical, and would amount to American workrrs shooting themselves in the foot.

Great info! The awakening is on the way i have been given the task of visiting all of the black churches in my area the pastors are obligated to let our people know who we are. The times of the white man white washing our history is over. I wish others would do the same and spread the message to their local AA churches.
