Amen again Brother James. The sellout blacks/uncle toms always show their true colors when confronted with the facts. Its hard for US to expose the worst among US. We were raised to be better than whites to survive in this world. Many of US just want to be as corrupt as some whites. We are fighting for our children and grandchildens futures. Please continue to take the fight to all those who intend on benefiting from the pain/harm of Black people.

Its unfortunate that the chains of slavery will never leave the minds of some blacks! Its no surprising phenomenom though. The problem with the Israelites was when God tried to deliver them they were in slavery so long they began to long for Pharoah and his oppressive ways. No matter how Moses tried to reason with them, they wanted to go back to Pharoah and slavery! (the other 43 Presidents and their oppressive that we to this date never discuss-Such as the housing meltdown and Bush's policies of outsourcing, fast track authority, and bail-outs) I am so glad that I read for a living, and do my own empirical research! I am so glad that there are several other races in america that are not like sheep, so easily influenced and dumbed down! Maybe that is why we are always at the bottom of the ladder in education, economics, credit, and respect! Because we fail to look at the facts but demand what we do not give to ourselves. RESPECT!!! That is why Mr. Obama will again be America's President! You just continue to be armchair pessimists who declare war on your own race and label it enlightenment. I will continue to free our people's minds with empirical research.

James - Exceptionally stated though clearly waaaay above the professor's NON-SCHOLARLY ability to grasp, interpret and comprehend. I bet this fake-a_s professor doesn't even have his GED yet since everything he's echoed hasn't even barely been factual. Dumb ass didn't even know NDAA had already been signed into law by HIS GOP war-loving, minority-hating and Constitution-hating president aka Mr. Cave-in aka Mr. Sellout aka Mr. GOP in Cognito which is why, as president of the most powerful country in the world, it appears obama's biggest and consistent problem is/has been that NOBODY is really scared of this president....wonder why? Perhaps it is because NOBODY even knows what he really stands for - I mean with all of the cave-ins and all...
Ricardo - once again, Exceptionally stated though I'd say it was VERY EASY to discern this "Worst One Amongst Us" based on his clear lack of education, lack of knowledge on basic current and political events, lack of ability to research and communicate in a convincing manner HIS own made-up BS.
professor - take your fake-as_ back to obama 2012 campaign and tell them, "I tried but they ain't buying what we selling". Happy New Year professor!!!

It really is futile to engage anyone such as yourself in any worthwhile exchange of ideas. Ad evidenced by the mere fact that you were willing to disregard the plethora of President Obama's above accomplishments in the midst of all of the adversity that he has faced speaks volumes to your inability to accept truth and knowledge which is at the foundation of higher learning. Good luck with your anger and close minded behavior. Go back to school and free your mind. To you i end with my chant that many Americans will be proclaiming. 4 mote years, 4 more years.

We only got the Jewish events of the bible because it were their books. You would think with all this parting of the Red Sea and everything else you would have some writing on those wall in Egypt about this so-call great Jewish Civilization that once flourish and grew.You probably one of those lazy Negro Scholars that believe the Bible is the word God. Now If you want to defend the Jewish People in your argument, use the Holocaust and not any of those desert Gods. Lets talk about slavery. It a well known fact that prior to the Civil War in America one in four slaves were of mixed blood. Since you being a House Negro every time Master Obama hurt you hurts too. When Master Obama says them Slaves Blacks should eat those dry beans peas , since you are one of The Overseers The Negro Leaders you wants to pop that scholastic whip and tell us what ingrates we are .What ever orifice that you talking out of,or that muddle water you call gray matter brain, we who are not buying the cracks that you are selling. Those of us who are old as human blood in human veins and young Gifted and Black do not believe you or HNIC Master Obama. I guess they want be letting you in the back door of the White House anymore. You and Water Mellon Man will have to eat that cold fried chicken of propaganda by yourselves.

Actually no i am not a lazy Nero scholar and just for the record, i used this ad a metaphorical symbol of the state of people like the one's that i am engaging in this futile discourse. Despite the despair, poverty, prison, civil rights violations, voting id laws that have enacted by the gop governors that target blacks, despite the murdering of blacks by police, despite bill clinton's omnibus crime bill that locked up more blacks that in the history of the America yet the nerves grinned at him, despite the facts above that were accomplished by president obama, you still vitriole and venom from your lips against another black who you never even met yet you stand on righteous indignation! What a sham! From where i sit you are the lazy one who refuses to walk away from pharoah's oppression and attack Moses who is trying to keep the gop from putting your behind back in slavery. But its okay! Go ahead and be like ichabod crane and sleep through a revolution. Pharoah's will be back in office again after 5 more and then you can go back into your corner and hide like you'll did when bush ran our country into the ground for 8 years.

To Ricardo, Bennetta, and all others,
I agree that this guy is not a professor, unless he is a professor of "spring break."
There is no way a serious person, professor or not, would step into the public arena being that uninformed. I mean, this "dunce" can't defend a single component of his own advocacy with facts. Unable to do so, he emotes in tirades like a five year old about the sky is falling; using bogeyman fear mongering, he believes that by directing our focus on the GOP, we will not focus on what is happening to us under the current GOP-lite administration.
The difference between the overt GOP, and the covert GOP, is the overt ones tell you rather directly how they feel, while the covert ones smile and deceive, but do the exact same things in their policy implementations.
For example, Professor Dunce provided a list of "accomplishments" from the adminstration's re-election website. One of them is: "Ended the Bush era awarding of 'no-bid' defense contracts." Unable (if he is a dunce) or unwilling (if he is a zealot) to analize anything, he doesn't know that this very "accomplishment" of which he posted was the executive order by the current president to end so-called "minority set asides' contracts with the defense department which will result in the loss of millions of African American jobs. He doesn't know this despite there being a write-up about it currently on this very website. It happened in September 2010, yet not a single Civil Rights "leader" has spoken out against it, (except Harry Alford) and with no media reporting of it, most Blacks do not even know about it.
The GOP would call it "ending affirmative action," and Blacks would be rightfully outraged. But the overt GOPers have found a way to get their anti- Black policies implemented, and at the same time get the Blacks to support their own destruction. That is the role of the current administration. In this context, it becomes an "accomplishment" of which Blacks can be proud--the loss of millions of Black jobs.
"Professor" Dunce, of course, as Bennetta accurately assessed (quite hilariously, I might add), can't comprehen stratagems at that level. Given this, he befouls those of us who do understand 21st Century methodologies of Black enslavement as being "ignorant" and so on and so forth. The "GOP" he rages, in child-like fits, will put us back into slavery (unless we follow his advice and support their 21st Century-high tech-methods of slavery). Some one needs to inform him that the type of slavery he's trying to frighten us with is obsolete--machines pick cotton now. The new slavery is in the prisons where folk go who don't have jobs. That is why we don't need anymore of these "accomplishments" of which he speaks.
Frankly, I thought the dunce was ready for a debate when he mentioned Dodd-Franks, etc. But I see, not having the intellectual depth to discuss those matters beyond the slogans, etc., provided specifically for recitation by zealots like himself, he has left that alone and returned to his tirades, most of them incoherent.
Happy New Years, to all!

George W Bush Dub-ya was what he was. Negro Please, you can not scare Black People with Fear. Most of the Black People have seen the maggots in the mind of this universe. That nothing new, so you and that Booker T. Washington crowd can crawl back under those rocks and climb down into mother earth because you are living in a fool paradise. Something dangerous this way comes is a everyday occurrence in most Black People lives. You out here trying to prove your axiom of nothing. If you want to go down that road on Blackness with Master Obama you better have more that is Black skin to defend him. He knows nothing about the Black experience in America or you would be right.This Duck Bill Platypus has lay an mammalian egg with his Dark Side agenda Republican agenda. He really wants go over to the Dark Side The Republican Side ,but he can not take that Black skin with him. So you and your Black Jesus Obama can take your Amos and Andy Show on down the road. Look on the bright side , you do not need any makeup, because both of you have already got those Black Faces. Swiping the sweat off your brows is not going to cut this time. Come election time your Lord and Savior Obama will know how it feel to be road hard and put up wet. Remember what those Clinton's said about false hope. They knew hope was a dangerous thing to give to Black People who were running on empty. Even those Two Republicans knew that. As For me I am a retired Drug Dealer Pharmacist but I still keep my licensee current in about 5 states. I were raised on a farm with with my siblings. I know manure when I see it . You might need some rubber booths Sir, because you are shoveling manure for This President.

If you call yourself a moral Black person then you will denounce the current adminstration and the corruption at the EEOC. Jacquline Berrien only recieved the chair of the EEOC to undermine Black complaints by a Black face and she's the friend of Michelle Obama from Harvard law school. Is this how we want the country run by the first Black looking president. We are in denial and because of it our Children, Grand Children and Great Grand Children will pay the price for our denial.
