Its interesting how I don't make things personal with you, but you tend to denegrate me if I happen to disagree with you. As usual you're going to out of control hyperbole based upon your own narrow point of view. As I have a regular 9-5, I only post sporadically, but here is my response to your many erroneous, self-important claims:<br /><br />1. Please stop calling me a liar just because I don't agree with you. I tend to back up what I say with facts and numbers -- I'm an computer analyst, that's my job. As been shown by others on this blog, you tend to play fast and loose with the truth -- often quoting things about Obama that are out of context or have been disproven months ago.<br /><br />2. Yes, you're educated but frankly, no more educated and no less educated than I am. I keep my accomplishment in context of a discussion, but frankly, I stop giving a crap about running down my accomplishments years ago. When I would rattle off where I went to school or who I know, it only pointed to internal unhappiness. From my personal experience, people who tend to want to know pedigree are also rather vapid and/or lonely. As my father once said "Having a Harvard degree or mopping a floor doesn't show the measure of man."<br /><br />Here's a scope -- when you graduated from college I was 6. Therefore, I hope you've done more with your life than I have. Oh, I hosted a local radio show and two public access TV specials before I was legally able to drive. See, I can pump myself up too.<br /><br />3. For the last time, <b> I AM NOT AN OBAMA-HOLIC</b>. As I stated, I disagree with Obama on many things, not the least of which is building the first new American nuclear reactor in my lifetime. However, I also don't think he's the Devil. My problem with many of Obama's critics on the left and the right is that many of these folks were up in arms when he was a nobody. Like 9/11 Truthers & Birthers, a lot Obama haters tend to point to any piece of 'news' that fulfills their idea that he's evil incarnate. AB, you have regularly used debunked Birther talking points to support your claims about Obama.<br /><br />4. You have claimed that you don't trust any politicians because you feel that the entire system is corrupt. Since politics and government are merely systems of technicians and officials -- ie, people, you feel all politicians are corrupt. That's call reductive logic. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but don't back away from your own words. <br /><br />5. I don't fear so-called 'radicals' any more than I fear the Klan running through Inglewood. If anything, I'm frustrated with the Left's utter lack of organization or clear objectives. When people are screaming for alternatives, the Left whining to each other about how radical and brilliant they are, fighting each other for political turf instead of working together (Black and Latino pols in LA, for example) or simply rehashing incoherent nonsense and calling it 'policy analysis.' The Tea Party movement took off because progressives left a political vaccuum. <br /><br />In short, you can disagree with me, but don't insult me.LACoincidentalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529463652136455230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-81619265308370624482010-02-17T15:35:40.737-05:002010-02-17T15:35:40.737-05:00lac:

Do you use this post's energy to take a step that makes a difference, however small?<br /><br />You can add your voice to the chorus if you want. You can be part of the solution.<br /><br />It's what a FN does. Even us white ones.<br /></i><br /><br /><br />Fair enough. I've got a rule -- don't involve yourself in politics into you can find your way home without a GPS.<br /><br />OK, seriously, as of March, I'd been in LA for one year, so phase 2 is to get more involved. I'm running the LA Marathon to raise money for AIDS care, but after that I'm attending the daily round table in South Central (La Meirt Park).<br /><br />Just found out who my congressman is (Xavier Becerra). I'll check the Greenpeace and other progressive score sheet to see if this guy is worth watching. There are also a few city reps in LA who are just downright trifling, but again, its only been a year.<br /><br />So, Bennet, I'm true to my word.

Those in the legislature who had the power to draw the lines merely RE-ENSNARED the Blacks who moved out to the suburbs BACK into the district that they sought to escape.<br /><br />Here is my argument:<br />IF the people "who can" are moving out to greener pastures, seeking out land that is governed differently than their original AND which has a better lifestyle - WHY don't the people flip their thinking?<br /><br />Why not redraw the districts in which the salient consciousness of the FAVORABLE LANDS that are being cherry picked apart are used to carve up the districts where MISERY is abundant? <br /><br />It is my view that the extremists on both ends need to be neutralized by removing these concentrated districts and making them BATTLE in more balanced districts and thus be forced to moderate their divisive antics.

You and others focus upon the "Equal Treatment" portion of the equation where the greater society must prove that it sees you as an equal based on how it treats you. Certainly this is the basis for everything. It matters not that an enslaved person is brilliant. He remains a slave and thus subjected to the whims of another who seek to use his labor instead of his brains.<br /><br />At the same time - Douglass tapped upon the other element of EQUALITY: The demand that people PROJECT it into the public space. His reference to STAND UP or LET FALL is in line with this.<br /><br />This is the point that you appear to have problems with - back then as well as TO-DAMNED-DAY. <br /><br />I believe that it is important that each of us build a MODEL OF THE WORLD that captures all of the forces and with proper PROPORTIONS. My sense from you is that you are "too heavy on the salt". You see the dysfunction in today's Black community as residue of the stain that history has passed forward.<br /><br />I see an increasing amount of ABANDONMENT in the MANAGEMENT of the prodigy that come out of the womb which FAILS to inculcate them into citizens within the community that serve a net productive role WITHIN the community.<br /><br />In your stance you are more inclined to lobby the GOVERNMENT.<br /><br />In my stance I am more inclined to demand that the people who will RECEIVE THE BENEFIT from the management and change be the primary people to SEE THE BENEFIT and regulate the change within the people they have most control over: THEMSELVES.<br /><br />I am NOT dismissing the importance of the external government. What I am saying is that to focus too much on that while abandoning the local lends to the BOIL THE OCEAN effect that is present today among many people. It is done only for retained unity and to cover their own management incompetence toward affecting change.Constructive Feedbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-22796396325531949512010-02-17T01:32:45.239-05:002010-02-17T01:32:45.239-05:00My Rep, Donald Payne, was just elected chairman of...My Rep, Donald Payne, was just elected chairman of CBC. This district is 57% black. It's gerrymandered to make it blacker, by including only the African-American sections of several towns. But if it included only entire towns, it would still be overwhelmingly Democrat. I don't think Payne even had an opponent last time. Since he has about as liberal a record as can be measured, Nobody pays much attention to the fine print he might insert in bills, or his votes on corporate donor friendly legislation. To his credit, he does speak out on important matters involving Africa, which hardly rate a blip in media radar unless a ship is hijacked.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16567817295665099690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-41507938915037851512010-02-17T00:52:33.751-05:002010-02-17T00:52:33.751-05:00ISEEISEE, "I write in my FIFTH SIGHT, when I ...ISEEISEE, "I write in my FIFTH SIGHT, when I post at this BLOG! I seek to see who amongst these people are Watchful! and I must admit, the MAJORITY of the Black people that post here are One sighted, in that I mean, they tend to Digest what is before them, they tend to bypass the ROOT and go for what is at the Top, they tend to be satisfied with what is given to them, they tend to Eat the Fruit that is NOT beneficial to their well being! they tend to over look the Obvious! in other word's they are Spiritually and Naturally Blind, but, we do have a few that are WATCHFUL! and trust me, they are few"<br /><br />ISEEISEE, thanks for this insight, but what is a FIFTH SIGHT and how did you develop it and what has it done for you, other than to 'see' but has left you helpless to do anything about what you 'see' happening to your people?<br /><br />I DO agree, that most Blacks are 'Spiritually Blind'. They have tunnel vision and seek everything from the very worldly white man who once enslaved them. Blacks have yet to AWAKEN and to transcend their petty self-centered egos. <br /><br />But this is nothing new for humanity. Even Jesus noticed this among his people. It was because of the worldly sinful nature of most humans that HE was crucified.<br /><br />But again, what good is it doing you to see your people going over the cliff? You already know that they are spiritually blind and deaf.<br /><br />The ProphetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-71725994843519826292010-02-17T00:20:05.661-05:002010-02-17T00:20:05.661-05:00CF, "Mellaneous - I don't judge you by wh...CF, "Mellaneous - I don't judge you by what you SAY.
