President Obama has seen a major boost to his numbers from his successful convention; Mitt Romney has seen his numbers go down from his not-so-successful convention.<br />What with not being burdened by fact checking, Romney's prospects look bleaker every day.<br />Also, most of the comments here have been very wing-nuttery in content and have focused on the usual disproven claims about black people (because we are apparently too stupid to know what’s good for us as we are all being duped as a people by the Democrats).<br />Thing is, you can say whatever you want. Blacks still won’t vote for Mitt, why would we? Call out the lazy claims, call out the stupid claims. Ignore the fact that it was conservative Democrats who were responsible for keeping us down (and the fact that most of them switched parties in the 70s) and pretend the current makeup of both parties is the same as it was in the 60s.<br />The republican'ts still won’t be able to get more than 3% of the black vote.watchdognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-42430721277240727302012-09-06T11:07:36.482-04:002012-09-06T11:07:36.482-04:00A VERY DIFFERENT POV FROM BLACKAGENDAREPORT.COM
...A VERY DIFFERENT POV FROM BLACKAGENDAREPORT.COM<br /><br /> Black America Still Paralyzed, Powerless, Irrelevant: Year 4 of the Obama Era<br /><br />by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon<br /><br />Three years ago this week, more than 2 million souls, at least half of them African American, converged upon the nation's capital. They came, in what my colleague Glen Ford called the Great Black Hajj of 2009 [6], to witness and celebrate the swearing in of the nation's first African American president. They wept and danced and sang and prophesied. They marveled at how far they had come. It was, their leaders assured them, the beginning of a new day.<br /><br />Three years later, it's clear that this is indeed a new day, a new era. But for most of black America, it's not the one they hoped for. Nobody expected urban poverty would begin to vanish overnight, or that millions of acres of lost black farmland would be restored. But promises were made, and expectations were justifiably high, not because Barack Obama had promised to investigate Wall Street, prosecute banksters, or stop the imperial wars and illegal foreclosures, but because humans do have the right to expect justice at home and peace abroad, whether their leaders deliver these things or not.<br /><br />The highly questionable political strategy of withholding back black demands for economic or social justice and peace, so as not to embarrass, pressure or visibly tie the black presidential candidate, and later the black president to his base was so widely accepted that by mid 2007 it was a staple of black stand-up comedy routines. Three years into the Obama era, the silencing of black demands lest they embarrass the president is no longer a tactic. It's a religion, rigorously enforced by the black misleadership class and its wannabees, who fall over each other in their eagerness to mock and scorn heretics like Tavis Smiley and Cornel West for daring to highlight the fact that black poverty and joblessness are at levels not seen in seventy years.<br /><br />http://blackagendareport.com/print/content/black-america-paralyzed-powerless-irrelevant-year-4-obama-eraBABBFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-81369212526256289532012-09-05T10:44:27.731-04:002012-09-05T10:44:27.731-04:00About every comment in here is completely racist i...About every comment in here is completely racist in nature. As soon as you took these individuals and compared what they stand for to the color of their skin you walked down the racist path. These conversations and articles are merely fuel to keep the racist fire burning. Racism is in effect both ways here in the US. A black man wouldn't risk walking into a white trash trailer park the same as a white man will stay out of the ghetto. Each one knows the racial ignorance of each location. Each side feeds the others bad perception. The key to ending racism starts with the public getting past all of this and not playing into it. This blog aids the racial divide....

She's a first-generation American.<br /><br />I know my share of persons belonging to the Black immigrant class, and yes, their perspective on America is somewhat different than that of African-Americans who can trace their family histories prior to desegregation. I'm won't state whether they're right or wrong, 'cause America's (allegedly) a free country. Still, the majority of Black immigrants I know (and their children) identify themselves as part of the African diaspora.<br /><br />OTOH, contemporary 'Black' <i>Republicans</i> are a curious lot for no other reason than their politics are radically divergent their professed group identity. How does a child of Haitian immigrants come to support highly restrictive, if not arbitrary and anti-democratic immigration policies? How does an Af-Am who experienced Jim Crow first-hand endorse a party that's actively seeking to usurp the rights of Af-Ams? We can't just dismiss Mss. Love and Rice as divergent. And it's way too easy to tag them as sellouts.<br /><br />I'm left with no option but believe Love, Rice, and other 'Black' Republicans <i>know</i> they're playing race cards in order to further their personal interests That suggests to me they're ill-suited for public service. <br /> William L.

------..."You anything white is the klan"<br /><br />----------------<br /><br />No, I know a lot of white people to whom a person's color, heritage and creed are irrelevant. Not all of them are Democrats, but none of them are currently Republicans. Some were Republicans, a long time ago, but either they left the GOP or the GOP left them back in the 'early 90s when the GOP out here in Collie-4nia went all Willie-Horton on Latinos. <br /><br />I also know (hell, eat holiday dinners with) a lot of white people who will never accept black, brown or Asian people, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, etc as their social or political equals. They're all Republicans now. Some used to be nominal Democrats (usually voted GOP) but they all became open Republicans 20 years ago. Today, the national GOP is the functional equivalent of the CCC who're nothing but the KKK in street clothes. <br /><br />Thats why I call them the republiklan or varients thereof. Since they made up a slur-ish name "the Democrat Party" for the 200 year old "Democratic Party," I figure they're hardly in a position to complain credibly.Whitey's Conspiracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17758651000294515794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-79111196080723097612012-08-31T19:08:31.816-04:002012-08-31T19:08:31.816-04:00We need a new Commander in Chief.
