Hot Stuff: West Goes to Wall Street

[Smiley and West]

		West talks about his direct involvement in the Occupy Wall Street protests. Smiley: This protest on Wall Street is gaining some steam and starting to get a lot of national media attention... finally. West: Democratic awakening is taking place. It's the U.S. Fall responding to the Arab Spring.

RE: What?  Now I'm supposed to run to Wallstreet with a sign?

Dear Brother, to answer in one word: yes.

 

During all of these years of economic and social disparity for Blacks, who of us protested on our own behalf? Now that these brothers and sisters have stood up and begun to stand up for something : please consider encouraging their spirit. Or at the very least, do no harm to it, in your words or in ear shot of anyone that might decide to join thier cause.

The unemployment rate in the urban black communities across America has been above 10% forever.  We've

been ripped off and shook down in every way.  High taxes, insurance, food prices, you name it.  Where have all the conscious white people occupying Wallstreet been all of these years???  You don't see any of them until they get a little taste of what black suffer in general.  What?  Now I'm supposed to run to Wallstreet with a sign?

I don't think that blacks should join the protest so fast.  Whites always run to us for help when they find themselves in a pinch and then forget about us or even worst, target us after we've bailed them out.  Take the Civil war, case and point.  You could run out there and help to bring this whole system down and end up back on the plantation after the "Real Patriots" and "Constitution" lovers take things back to what the "Founding Fathers" wanted.  I think we should clarify our position with the Occupy leadership before we sacrifice ourselves again.

President Obama is playing politics with this jobs bill.  People needed jobs before Obama took office, not just "Right Now."  Was there a "Jobs Bill" then?  No.  Obama gave the money to the banks and corporations.  Then he went to health care.  He held this "Jobs Bill" until his re-election bid started.  Obama throws out a "Jobs Bill" now while people are practically dying and dares congress not to pass it.

The Republicans and the Tea Partiers are already sick of all of Obama's spending and they want to go at this 450 billion dollar bill but whoever votes against it runs the risk of not being re-elected in particular and really making their political party look bad in general.  If it passes, Obama gets a big boost going into

the 2012 election cycle.  Obama threw out this "Jobs Bill" and screamed "Check" but we'll have to wait and see if it's a checkmate.

   The media has framed the Presidential election as being a bunch of weak and dubious Republican wanna-be's against a compromising and non-honcho President Obama, but I am here to introduce a man with real solutions.  

   Suppose all in one fell swoop you could replace fuels coal, oil, and nuclear, and thereby remove both pollution of our environment, and the need for (covert-excuse "democracy") wars to control these resources overseas.  Suppose that in order to get started, you first need to revise the corrupt system that allows corporate bribery to finance campaigns and "own" elected legislators, and in the process change America from a republic to a true democracy.  There is a registered candidate to challenge in democrat primaries, the only candidate of all to actually go to Liberty Park in NYC to talk with (not just to) the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators.    His name is Harry Braun, from Arizona, describing a series of U.S. Constitutional amendments to be initiated by you, the citizen voters, not Congress, as allowed under Article V of our Constitution.  He is a scientist, not a politician.  He developed and sold a major "wind farm" (wind-turbine power-generators) in New Mexico, and is very environmentally concerned.  He proposes a Solar-Hydrogen Economy.  You really need to study his comprehensive, factual-but-lengthy website http://Braun2012.US to see how you can do this.  'Nuff said!

I have to agree with you, black people have been suffering all our lives and the only reason why Wall Street is being occupied is because finally the white man is feeling the pinch.  I am not jumping to support the movement, but if Obama does not find relief soon it will soon be a revolution and it will not be confined to the United States.  It will be a global effort which means millions will die for what we have been experiencing all our life.

One Iam said:

As I mentioned before, black people in the USA have been crying ouch about unemployment, banker and insurance ripoffs for decades.  Where was all the diversity when it was just us taking the banker beat down?  ?  ?  Now that white people are taking some of the heat, should we run out in protest and bolster their ranks?  Maybe, but, when it's all said and done will the black man in America be Crispus Attucks again?  Probably.  I'm not pouring rain on the "occupy" movement, I'm just saying that if this movement follows suit of the preceding movements for change around the World, the cardboard signs will become AK47's and then you'll get a little bump in progress.   

Bri'on said:

A movement in the U.S. may take longer b/c of the diversity. We have too many groups with too many issues. The common thread that binds us is the rumbling stomachs at night. Hunger and poverty alone will make any person do something...either beg, borrow or steal. Which ever decision is exercised, it still is movement of some kind. This occupywallstreet has tentacles and will become global b4 its over. The world is starving and if revolution breaks out here, in one of the most developed countries on the planet...the rest will follow.

 

Are you hungry or do you still have food in your pantry??? How about if I borrow a cup of sugar and an egg from you???

One Iam said:

This is really starting to get soft and mushy.  I don't know if anybody otherthan me has been paying attention but these movements for "change"  across the world have had to turn really bloody to get any movement at all.  Even after the blood flow, things are still pretty much the same.  What makes you think there will be any difference here in the USA?  My assessment, radical change in the USA will cost the most blood.

They don't give a sh*****!  All they care about is blocking Obama's agenda, because they want to make sure he goes down as the second worse president in America.
