A Message To Black America: You Have 2 CLEAR Yet Different Choices in this Election!! You Can't Spin That!!!!

Racist America, Capitalistic America, Black America to include our alleged enlightened black thinkers alike, have continued to commit black on black attacks against our President from the comfort of their lazy boy loungers, their corporate/academia ivory towers, and from their corporate backed tv shows. What defines this campaign is two very different choices. The President who has kept his word on Iraq where every race of people have lost loved ones, by removing our troops. He has signed into law Healthcare which the republicans have lobbied to destroy and who have voted 37 times to repeal it. Hundreds of thousands of blacks will receive health insurance and will not die from disease of other issues that plague our community due to the clause in the law that makes the healthcare industry provide us with preventive care for free. He has created wall street reform that includes a consumer finance bureau which makes it very difficult for wall street to charge high interest rates on loans, credit cards and other financial instruments. Who has a high number of credit cards? The black community! Because they are so-called ballers! Well they can no longer raise interest rates on them arbitrarily. The credit card is considered late after not 1 minute after the due date, but in 30 days! Our community loves getting new cars which depreciate 20% in value after driving it off of the lot. But he still is making wall street conduct business in a fair and equitable manner. He is reforming the mortgage industry and has been prosecuting the banks for fraud with the attorneys general from NY-a white male and California-a black female. His Attorney General continues to overturn voters rights laws that target black, hispanic, the elderly, and students' basic right to vote. (interesting enough, there was no alleged fraud during Bush's 8 years in office) His Attorney General has continued to prosecute "hate crimes" in america at an unprecedented rate. He is planning on rewriting the drug laws to decriminalize many drug laws that incarcerate our blacks in record numbers! But he continues to be stamped with the crazy label of "not doing anything for the blacks." So I ask the blacks who attack him relentlessly to include Dr. West but not Dr. Dyson, Tavis but not Tom Joyner, and many other blacks who never critique but only attack. If you want to blame the President for an underachieving educational system, when was the last time you attended a PTA meeting? When was the last time you called your child's teacher or visited the school? Why did you buy your child Air Jordans instead of a computer? (Obama didn't do that) You want to blame the President for not enough jobs in the black community? Do have any marketable job skills? Do you have college degree? Do you have a technical degree? When was the last time you even looked for a job? Do you have a resume that is updated? Do you have any experience? What will last employer say about your work ethic? (Again, that is not Mr. Obama's fault) A message to the ivory tower. When was the last time that you visited the White House to propose your complaints to Mr. Obama in the form of "public policy" that addresses the problem that plagues our community? His door is always open to you. You say that he addresses the needs of every community but the black community. When was the last time the black community addressed the issues of the black community and actually agreed upon what those issues would be? One day you want america to call you african american, then you are black american, then you are afro americans, then you are just blacks! You attack and demonize gays and attck our President, but you never make that pedophile or whoremonger in your pulpits step down! (no cohesiveness) You attack the President on not addressing black issues, but you look past the congressional black caucus! (no cohesiveness) You attack civil rights leaders and talk about them based upon what Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, etc, says about them because you let other ethnicities define our leaders. But you call these same leaders when you are in trouble! (no cohesiveness) You want to spend money hand over fist buying cars instead of investing in these civil rights organizations but complain about the state of your community but do not vote! Attention: Every Other Community VOTES!!! Until you address the problems internally in our community, you will never be respected, revered, feared, or noticed. 

Then you have Romney who hides his money, worships with a faith that demonizes blacks, who closed the eeo office in Mass. when he was Governor, made the blacks who wanted to file discrimination claims pay a tax to file, he refuses to release his tax returns when the President has released 12 years of returns, he earns money from america and hides his money offshore to tax evade. He owns a company that ships jobs off shore to maximize his income while laying people off and raising the unemployment rate. He has told blacks at the NAACP conference that he would erase all of the gains that civil rights groups and blacks have fought to attain! As Governor of Mass. he was at least 47 out of 50 in unemployment which including high rates for blacks. So since these GOP plants are on this site trying to attack my President, tell them to bring the facts with them next time because we can't have different facts. Different opinions but never different facts.

What defines this election is indicative of this letter from Elizabeth Warren, former head of the Consumer Finance Bureau:

Clifford —

When I first came up with the idea for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a lot of people told me, “Don’t do it.”
They said that the big banks and their army of lobbyists would spend whatever it takes to stop us – and their allies in Congress would fight like crazy to preserve the status quo.
But we got organized, and we won. Today is the one-year birthday of the consumer agency opening its doors, and it is already pushing toward mortgages and credit cards that are easier to understand and holding lenders that break the law accountable.
Now Republicans are pushing laws that would cut the legs out from underneath the consumer agency — or repeal it outright.
The fight to keep the new consumer agency shows just how important it is that we send advocates for the middle class to Washington – and that the Democrats control the U.S. Senate.
We can’t afford to lose in November. Please donate $5 to my campaign and to the DSCC to prevent the Senate from falling into Republican control.
I’ve seen for myself in the Senate race in Massachusetts that the Republicans will do and say anything to win in November. What’s more, they are raising unprecedented amounts of money to defeat Senate Democrats across the country.
We stood up to them before, and by building a powerful grassroots campaign all across the country, we can win again.

Thank you for being a part of this,

Elizabeth Warren

Shame on anyone who willfully keeps people ignorant of emancipation from the 2party system.

Obama has been GWB's third term on the escalation of needless wars, poverty, debt, Guantanamo, bailouts, Wall Street favors, attacks on medical marijuana users, and the destruction of the environment. With the added bonus of drone attacks, NDAA, a kill list, appointing Monsanto heads to the FDA, allowing the EPA to raise acceptable radiation levels after the Japanese nuclear meltdown, and a proclamation of the right to kill any US citizen with no trial no jury.

Ok. So what about Romney? Wall Street favors? Really? Have you heard of the Dodd Frank law (Wall Street reform) How about the 1st Consumer Protection bureau that the Republican Party hated and continued to filibuster on . As a matter of fact, President Obama had to make a recess appointment to get a chairman to head it. Check your facts. How about the wars? The same wars that the Republican Party and Bush ran and never budgeted for. President Obama ended one war as he said he would. Afghanistan is coming to a close. so get your facts straight. Bailouts you say? How about the law was passed by a Republican Congress and President Bush with the money to be distributed being left to President Obama. Boy you have a short memory. Poverty and Debt? Really? How about the record outsourcing of jobs to the point of losing most of them before he even entered office. Add to that a Republican controlled Congress who either filibustered 97 times, or never allowed his jobs bill to voted on. A proclamation to kill any citizen? Maybe you are talking about the NRA sponsored stand your ground laws where Congress fights to control automatic weapons in our country. As for our President, his healthcare law of the land saves lives. Guantanamo?? If you remember, the Republicans again rallied against trying these offenders in NY courtrooms and jailing them in our facilities. Sorry we can't have different facts, only different opinions. I will call this rant part 1 of your presentation. I am sure that your critique of Mitt Romney is following. I will be looking forward to reading that and all of Smiley and West readers as well.

The Democrat & Republican parties should both be charged for crimes against humanity.


The wrongs of the Republicans do not justify the wrongs of Obama and the Democrats. Wrong is wrong.

Obama apologist bingo
http://www.correntewire.com/obama_apologist_bingo

Ok i agree. But it seems that none can articulate the problems of a Romney presidency. So why don't you try it. Voters may be depending on your input.

Professor,

I've already stated I think both the Democrat and Republican parties should both be charged with crimes against humanity. How much more condemning can I get?

It’s not even really a 2party system. It’s a corporate 1party system with a 2party system charade.

If the Democrats consisted mostly of Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel and Cynthia McKinney types then I would happily be a Democrat. Instead the Democrats pick leaders like “impeachment off the table” Pelosi.

What can I say about Romney other than he is a liar. That's enough for me to not even consider any of his gibberish. How this guy can lie so blatantly over and over is stunning. Obama does the same thing but he's more charismatic in his delivery.

Take the topic of Bain:

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obamas-budget-director-bain-guy...

Smiley and West know very well that Obama and the Democrats have turned into the right while the Republicans are the hard right.

Professor, I am a gay man and the LGBT media and LGBT mega groups are insisting I must vote for Obama instead of for an alternative party liberal candidate.

Such hypocrisy!

They want people to keep open minds about marriage equality but choose to be close minded on voting for better liberal alternative party candidates? Give me a break.

If we cannot be principled voters we will never elect principled people.

If the woman’s groups, racial minority groups, LGBT groups, worker’s rights groups, environmental groups, and other progressive groups voted for alternative parties the 2party system would be done for.

Instead the corporations own the media and infiltrate both the 501c3 and 501c4 nonprofits and brainwash people to stay stuck in the false 2party system paradigm.

The 2party system and voters are like an abuser and the victim who keeps going back either too afraid to leave or too unaware of better options.

It’s so sad to see people like Smiley & West, Bill Maher, and Michael Moore spend so much time b******* about Obama but yet they remain 2party system apologists stuck in fear-based Democrat support.

Don’t worry. We all know Conservatives don’t like Romney too and are just as stubbornly foolish to stay stuck voting for him instead of voting for conservative alternative parties.

If we can attain woman’s equality, racial equality, LGBT equality and elect a black President when people used to think those things would never happen, then we can surely do something as easy in the social media age as elect alternative party candidates. By November?  It did not take long for Occupy to rise up or for the Egyptians to throw out Mubarak.

6 Easy Steps To End The 2-Party System

-Jeff

Now where i sit the gay community received what they wanted in legislation from dadt to civil rights. Its the bigot republican parties in states that are rewriting their state constitutions to read that marriage is bt a man and woman. He made his public statement in support of the gay community. So don't lie on our president. The republicans have passed laws against women concerning the right to choose. Don't lie on the president. Who else had an atty general that has fought in federal court to oppose the gop voter id laws that disenfranchise minorities. Don't lie on the prresident. Finally who has kept the president from passing key legislation to bring jobs to America? Republicans! With record filibuster. 97! Still don't hear you talking about romney. Any reason why? Hint. The blacks on this site are too smart to fall for the gop tricks. There are two sides of an issue with two candidates.

1) Indeed the Republicans have been evil towards the LGBT community. But let’s not forget a few things. There are still Democrats who vote against equality and there are some Republicans who are now voting pro-equality. Let’s not forget that Democrats also voted in some of the Supreme Court judges like Roberts. Let’s also remember that a lot of judges appointed by Conservative have been striking down anti-LGBT laws too.

 

2) Obama’s procrastinated support for marriage equality (thus far in words, not actions) and getting rid of DADT is of little consolation considering all the evil he’s done in other areas.

 

See:

 

Obama's Marriage Equality Support Does Not OK His Evils

http://youtu.be/Qmstfoe-90U

 

3) Speaking of Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder should be thrown out most fast and furiously.

 

4) Additional voter suppression laws ignored by the Democrats, Republicans, and mainstream media include the ballot access laws hindering alternative party viability. See http://www.ballot-access.org/

 

5)  Again, I’ve condemned Romney and the Republicans. Stop pretending I haven’t. I think Romney and Obama are equally repugnant in different ways.

 

6) I did not lie. I opined with link sources with verifiable facts.

 

7) Here’s what Obama-loving Rolling stone had to about Obama’s jobs bill:

 

Why Obama's JOBS Act Couldn't Suck Worse

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/why-obamas-jobs...

 

8) You wrote, “The blacks on this site are too smart to fall for the gop tricks.” Good. How about falling for the Democrat tricks of posing as being for the poor, working class, and minorities while taking action contrary to that.

 

9) Just as there are some anti-LGBT Democrats, there are some anti-choice Democrats too.

 

Anti-abortion Democrats push for wider exceptions to contraceptive coverage

Who Are The 40 Anti-Choice Democrats Bart Stupak Claims To Have In His Pocket To Kill Health Care Reform?

"Black Genocide" Candidate Running as Democrat in Kansas House Race

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/07/30/1115035/--Black-Genocide-C...

 

10) Black voters, white voters, Latino voters, woman voters, LGBT voters, or any other types of voter are/is NOT smart without fully being educated of their alternative party options due to media bias/media blackout. Nor are they smart without fully being educated of their collective power to enable alternative party candidates to become viable.

 

11) To stay stuck in the 2party system is to either be in willful denial or to be a fear-based voter instead of a principled voter. I can only help that Obam/Romney/Wellpointcare covers their Stockholm syndrome.

 

 

 

If you are against a two party system then stop contradicting yourself and talk about both parties !! Could you be more obvious? Its not my fault that the gop hates all Americans but the rich.

Thank you for admitting you have no defense of the 2party system.

Since you're choosing to ignore it, let me repeat:

The Democrat & Republican parties should both be charged for crimes against humanity.

The Democrat & Republican parties should both be charged for crimes against humanity.

The Democrat & Republican parties should both be charged for crimes against humanity.

In case I was not clear enough, one more time:

The Democrat & Republican parties should both be charged for crimes against humanity.

Actually i can defend the current system. The republican party in 2012 doesn't care about anyone making less than 250k. They don't include any women, minorities, gays (romney fired a gay from his campaign), students or elderly so join them. The des include passing legislation on many of our issues in the senate! Its in the congress where we don't get anything passed. Case in point. Tax cuts. It passed the senate and we are waiting their "no" vote. Start a three party system when we get the congress back from these kkk teaparty neocons. Or be dumb enough to split the vote and lose all your rights as the gop have promised to destroy everyone's life but their rich friends.

Or let's be dumb enough to overlook Obama's drone attacks on innocent children, NDAA, Guantanamo, kill list, and his proclamation that a President can kill anyone he wants. Oh, let's also look his Wall Street pandering, his appointing Monsanto heads to the FDA, his attack on protestor's rights, his attacks on medical marijuana users, and his allowance of the EPA to raise acceptable radiation levels after the Japanese nuclear meltdown.


If 50% of people in poverty is not enough to wake you up from the 2party charade then you and I have very different ethics.

Again, the evils of the Republicans are no excuse for the evils of the Democrats.

You are very masterful at attacking the President draped in a backdrop of a two party system. But still no critique of Mitt Romney! Let me be clear, noone is buying your bill of goods when you disguise your diatribe and disdain for our President while campaigning for a two party system. If you can't speak intelligently about the pros and cons of both candidates, then you have no interest in a discourse about politics. We are not fooled! Try your gamesmanship on another sight because that dog can't hunt.
