Evil GOP bastards blaming ‘Blacks’ for the Wall-Street woes

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


I am wondering — when will Lou Dobbs and co start laying the blame for the wall-street fiasco squarely on immigrants?

At times of economic difficulty in America, the xenophobic juices of right-wing whites flow like the Mississippi, and the bastard GOP politicians and pundits massage their baseless fears and prejudices like wicked witches.

Xenophobia and far right-wing extremism in America, as in Germany….and so on, are strikingly similar patterns of hostility towards immigrants a.k.a foreigners — unfounded fears and a wild perception of relative deprivation driven in by extortionist politicians and TV and RADIO SCUM like the Anti-Immigrant Bigot and Neo-Populist Crusader, Lou Dobbs — the resident nativist dung-thrower at CNN, and author of: “Bigots Day: Awakening the American ‘Racist’ Spirit.

The stink gets worse when BLACK UNCLE TOMS join in — for example, Ken Blackwell, the former Ohio Secretary of State.

The sight of this TADPOLE yapping maliciously against Obama at Fox New’s O’Hannity and Coward show, really riles me, because it gives credence to Syphilitic “Nazi” Scumbags like Sean Hannity, who is hell-bent on derailing Obama’s presidential aspirations by hook or crook.

Obama is head and shoulders above McCain in intellect, integrity and honesty. He is a good man, and to watch black “leaders” coalesce with the racist thugs at Fox News, to disparage other blacks, is appalling indeed.

Obama seeks entry into the most segregated institution in the United States — the presidency of the United States, therefore his candidacy should be a momentous happening to ALL BLACK PEOPLE, given that we may never see one like him in many years to come.

Blackwell is a quintessential “Uncle Tom” — a perfect example of how the right (Republicans) uses “People of Color” to foster Racism.

Mr. Blackwell was a key figure in the GOP push to disenfranchise black voters in Ohio, in 2004, and according to the current Ohio Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, two-thirds of Ohio counties have destroyed or lost their 2004 Ken Blackwellpresidential ballots and related election records, “Accidentally.

Of course — to hide the rampant election corruption under Blackwell’s reign of fraud.

The lost records violate Ohio law, which states federal election records must be kept for 22 months after Election Day, and a U.S. District Court order issued last September that the 2004 ballots be preserved while the court hears a civil rights lawsuit alleging voter suppression of African-American voters in Columbus.

The destruction of the election records also frustrates efforts by the media and historians to determine the accuracy of Ohio’s 2004 vote count, because in county after county the key evidence needed to understand vote count anomalies apparently no longer exists….[READ MORE HERE] [AND HERE]

Republicans can’t win anything fairly — if it is not immigrant-bashing, its terror-mongering or just out-right racism.

Now that it seems they cannot break Barack Obama’s back with their old and rudderless candidate, partnered with the dumbest “VP cheerleader” since Indiana’s Dan Quayle in 1988, their only option is to sow malicious seeds of doubt and/or to try and steal the election outright.

They have done it before. They can do it again! Punks!

| Blackwell’s “Uncle Tom” Views |

From The Minnesota Post:

Poor blacks caused this,” said Keith Ellison, Minnesota’s the 5th District congressman, scornfully. “That’s what we’re supposed to believe. Little ACORN caused this. The mighty captains of Wall Street got taken down by little ACORN and poor black people. That’s what you’re hearing on the right. The gall and audacity of this is beyond imagination.”

In fact, many, including 6th District Rep. Michele Bachmann, seem to be saying that the demise of Wall Street can be traced to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) of 1977.

That’s right. In the eyes of some, today’s problems aren’t a product of greed, or lack of regulation, but instead can be traced to the Jimmy Carter era. That’s when Congress passed CRA, an act that encouraged commercial banks to invest in housing in cities that were facing both redlining and major decline. The idea was simple: Stabilizing neighborhoods, through home ownership, would stabilize cities.

The act had the support of a nonprofit organization, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). It survived two terms of Ronald Reagan, the Gingrich era and three terms of Bushes before apparently creating today’s crisis.

But now, a handful of economists and a lot of conservatives who are looking for a scapegoat claim that it was the CRA that encouraged risky lending that led to the defaults that have led to the mess we’re in.

Says Ellison:To suggest that the greatest financial crisis we have faced since the Great Depression was caused by legislation that was created to help prevent low-income individuals from assuming high-cost, subprime loans that have caused the crisis today is absurd. To suggest that struggling families trying to keep their home brought down the Titans of Commerce, the Masters of the Universe on Wall Street, is ludicrous. To suggest someone who is raising three children while holding down two minimum wage jobs on a high school education was able to stall one of the greatest economic engines on Earth needs their head examined.” ….[MORE]

The Mis-Education of the Negro
[Review By -- Bakari Chavanu (Elk Grove, CA USA)]

The Mis-Education of the Negro (An African American Heritage Book)
This book ought to be required reading for every teacher, educator, administrator, and parents who intereact with children of African descent.

Woodson’s work helps us understand that African peoples are truely mis-educated.

We largely receive an Eurocentric or White middle class, elitist education that by and large does not serve the needs of our communities. This mis-education creates a serious identity crisis on the part of African youth and it causes many Black “educated” middle class people to spend more time trying to reach the consumer American Dream rather than working toward a real self-determination agenda of African peoples.

Thus it’s of little suprise today that most African students never enroll in a course on African/African-American studies. In fact, these courses are becoming more rare in high school and colleges across the nation. Even with the current renaissance of Black literature in this country, the study of African/Black culture, politics, and spiritual life are rarely discussed.

In Woodson’s words: “Real education means to inspire people to live more abundantly, to learn to begin with life as they find it and make it better, but the instruction so far given Negroes [and still today] in colleges and universities [and elementary and secondary schools] has worked to the contrary.

In most cases such graduates have merely increased the number of malcontents who offer no program for changing the undesiriable conditions about which they complain.” Woodson’s book is clearly not out-dated. In fact, it reads as if it were published last year, instead of 1933.

I would like to close this response to Woodson’s work with another classic quote from him:

If you control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a person feel that he/she is inferior, you do not have to compel him/her to accept an inferior status, he/she will seek for it. If you make a person think he/she is a justly outcast, yoiu do not have to order that person to the back door, that person will go without being told, and if there is no back door, the very nature of that person will demand one.

Brooding Bill Clinton needs a reality check

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Poor Bill.

He’s stuck in no man’s land — no longer able to stand before adoring crowds of African-Americans, who welcomed him as the “nation’s first black president” with thunderous applause — and he clearly is having issues dealing with the new world order.

Almost two months after Sen. Barack Obama captured the Democratic presidential nomination, the former president still is brooding about his wife’s loss. And his chief source of anguish? That supporters of Obama accused him of injecting race into the campaign.

Never mind that the Obama camp — loaded with white male advisers — was so afraid to bring up race that it wasn’t funny.

Speak, Brother! A Black Man's View of AmericaWhen Bill Clinton compared Obama’s win in South Carolina to the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s 1984 and 1988 wins there, it was seen by African-Americans as an attempt to marginalize Obama. That always has been a fear of African-Americans who achieve mainstream success, and it left even close friends of the Clintons aghast.

That was the tipping point, along with other perceived slights, and we know a person’s perception is his reality.

What Bill doesn’t understand is that the masses of black people know what it feels like to be marginalized, and many saw that in those comments.

In an interview with ABC’s Kate Snow, Clinton, when asked about regrets in the campaign, immediately threw out, “I am not a racist.

He kept insisting that he isn’t angry, but we all have seen that stare, that change in body language, and the parsing of words. Even when Snow asked whether Obama is ready to be president, Clinton answered in the third person, never actually saying he’s ready or not.

Bill, we get it. You still are peeved. At Obama. At Rep. James Clyburn. At the media. At anyone who you determined was against you and Hillary.

Many have said Clinton wants his legacy intact, and a lot of that has to do with the reality that no group gave him more comfort than the black community.

When he was facing the end of his presidency, he called on black folks like no others, using the affection to get him through the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He relied on black support to keep his poll numbers high. And we all know it.

But what Bill knows — and we know — is that you don’t have to be a racist to use race as a tool in a political campaign. An inference here, a comparison there, and you can send the right signal at the right time to the right people. He says he did nothing wrong. Yet perception is very powerful, and denying it doesn’t make it go away.

Bill and the legions of Clinton supporters are quick to act as if the comments made by African-Americans — the regular folk — simply didn’t exist. That was his bread-and-butter group, and its members were none too happy.

But what the Clinton folks also fail to grasp is that they did offend older African-Americans, such as Clyburn, Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole and others who were always in the corner of the Clintons but could remain silent no longer.

It’s clear that Bill can’t deal with the fact that his black supporters didn’t stay quiet. Many of them recoiled at what they heard.

As for what’s next, some Hillary Clinton fundraisers have said Obama should help restore Bill’s reputation and show respect for both Clintons, according to the Huffington Post. But the truth is that there is nothing that Obama can do to salvage the reputation of Bill Clinton before most African-Americans.

Bill lost that on his own, and he’s going to have to get it on his own.

The Clintons need to stop living in la-la land, listening to the same folks soothe Bill’s bruised ego. They thought they would win the nomination and that blacks would fall in line. Harold Ickes said as much.

But in this new world order, he needs to recognize that a lot has changed.

Bill, you clearly have issues with what took place, and sure, you can be angry. But denying you’re angry doesn’t help.

Fox ‘Racist News’ Channel Depicts Pro-Obama Europeans as — ‘Scary’ Black People

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


….as McCain revs up his sleaze machine, with statements like: “Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign.” — essentially calling Barack Obama a traitor!.

Old man McCain has totally lost his mind during Obama’s European tour this week, and the press has constantly given him a pass whenever he drops the ball, flip-flops and/or sleazes Obama:

1. McCain cannot distinguish between Sunnis from Shiites

2. McCain thinks Iraq and Pakistan share a border

3. McCain recently declared on CBS that Iraq was the first major conflict after 9/11. Forgetting about Afghanistan!

4. McCain thinks Putin is the president of Germany

….and many more. Senator John McCain has become a Gaffe Machine since hitting the campaign trail last year — and he is getting away with it!

McCain was so desperate this week that he “bamboozled” a group of reporters covering him — lying that he might announce his vice presidential choice at a town hall meeting in Rochester, New Hampshire. Instead he escalated his childish attacks against Obama, at the meeting.

What more do the people of America need to hear/see to know that this THUG is too old to be president?

Meanwhile, Fox News, the Racist mouthpiece of the “Republican Bigot World” has been VERY busy — Trying hard to bring down Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

The people at News Hounds — brilliant as always, caught this during a segment in Neil Cavuto’s “Business/Smear” show:

Scary Black People
   [See More Images/Story Here]

Being interviewed, was Arizona Senator Jon Kyl — talking about Obama being a “rock star over there,” and asking whether that is a “red flag for all Americans here?

For the record, Jon Kyl is a big-time anti-immigrant bigot, a friend and regular guest of Lou Dobbs, the chief anti-immigrant TV extortionist — The Minister of Propaganda and Immigrant Xenophobia, “cholesterol laden” Lou Dobbs of CNN.

The imbeciles at Fox News will stop at nothing — they are like dogs infected with rabies — in perpetual sexual heat.

From 236.com: Fox News has nothing against the good kind of black people

Whatever they do — Obama will continue to shine — all the way to the white house.

National Black Republican Association (NBRA) – Democrats are ‘More Racist’

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


From The NBRA:

…..therefore Black People, please vote Republican — because Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican. Meanwhile WE of the NBRA have launched Racial Anti-Obama Ads — like the ones below:

[MORE >>]

———————–

What can I say, other than repeat what I have posted in this blog a thousand times: Black ReTHUGliTOMS demean blackness, hopelessly.

Today, it is pretty clear that African American interests are “better” served by the Democrats than the Republicans.

It is also true that Democrats have supported vicious confederate slavery in the yester years, but they, to a large extent rectified this in the sixties, beginning with the presidencies of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson.

Some Democratic legislators from the southern epicenters of White Racism opposed President Johnson’s Civil Rights Act of 1964, due to “KKK Hangover,” but most did support it. This Act drove a significant number of white voters away from the Democratic Party, and the Republicans instead of joining with the Democrats to reform America, pounced on the opportunity — grabbing the “Southern Vote” a.k.a the “Bigot-Vote.

Up to date, the Democratic Party has a far much better Civil Rights record than the Republican Party, for without the “Bigot-Vote,” the Republican party has no footing.

Consequently, race-baiting smothered in fear-mongering became a staple of the modern Republican Party.

Republicans, and in this instance ReTHUGliTOMS like “re-living the past,” oblivious of the fact that modern Republicanism is just a new name for pre-sixties “Dixie-Cratism,” ….spun around, modernized and “Stealthified.”

The “Bigot-Vote” is the main-stay of the Republican Party, and they pander to it incessantly, with the help of the “putrid dung” excreted by Talk-Radio (Rush Limbaugh and Co.) and Fox News (O’reilly, Hannity and Co.)….to name a few of these vicious hyenas.

Hillary Clinton tried to dip her filthy finger into the “Bigot-Pot,” failed and got beaten by a “Black Man,” called Barack Obama.

And why is Obama “Black” and NOT “White” — for he is an offspring of the union of a white mother and a black father.

Simple answer: RACISM — perpetrated by “some” Democrats and a “large majority” of Republicans.

Evolutionary Scientist Richard Dawkins states: “It is the height of injustice to think of a person as “black” just because his blood is “tainted” with “black,” whereas, if “taint” is what it is, then his blood is equally tainted with “white,” in which case, he equally qualifies also as white. Philip Ochieng, a prominent Kenyan intellectual examines Dawkins’ assertion very thoroughly in this piece titled: Why Obama is Black, not White. — Excellent Read!

True, some white Democrats are Racist too — as evidenced in the 15 month Clinton/Obama duel (see text and video postings elsewhere)

Depending on your view, it could be a matter of who is the “lesser of two evils.” ….Republicans or Democrats?

To me the Republican party is “super-evil.”

I won’t pen the language I am tempted to use, because someone else offers a more eloquent and “tighter summary” of what the ReTHUGlican Party represents:

From EvilGOPBastards.com

Since the New Deal, Republicans have been on the wrong side of every issue of concern to ordinary Americans; Social Security, the war in Vietnam, equal rights, civil liberties, church- state separation, consumer issues, public education, reproductive freedom, national health care, labor issues, gun policy, campaign-finance reform, the environment and tax fairness. No political party could remain so consistently wrong by accident.

The only rational conclusion is that, despite their cynical “family values” propaganda, the Republican Party is a criminal conspiracy to betray the interests of the American people in favor of plutocratic and corporate interests, and absolutist religious groups.

Back to my Black Brothers & Sisters — The National Black Republican Association.

The late Khalid Abdul Muhammad was blunt and dramatic about you: “When white folks can’t defeat you, they’ll always find some Negro, some boot-licking, butt-licking, bamboozled, half-baked, half-fried, sissified, punkified, pasteurized, homogenized Nigger that they can trot out in front of you.”

Not to be outdone, movie director Spike Lee called people like you: “Handkerchief-heads, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Toms.” — a statement I have “Pluralized,” from the original that was directed by Mr. Lee at the “Big Kahuna” Uncle Tom — The one and only “Long John Silver” Justice Clarence Thomas — A ReTHUGliTOM Smothered In “Uppity Niggerdom” a.k.a “NegroPhobia Syndrome.

That said, the National Black Republican Association is just but a congregation of frustrated slaves crawling back to the plantation, so to speak! “Virulent Oreo Phenomenons,” “Punk-Asses,” and “Uncle Tom Calamities.” — Thanks to Historian John Henrik Clarke and Author June Jordan.

Your ADs above are a big joke — and an insult to the black community!
