Speak Out Network
Your attack of the President
I am dismayed at your attempt to discredit the president. This is the second time that Mr. Smiley has openly attacked the president. The first time on a matter of the president not accepting an invitation while he was campaigning for the presidency, which in my opinion was just ridiculous and showed Mr. Smiley's lack of reasoning. This time, Mr. Smiley once again, along with the assistance of Mr. West has shown his inability to recognize that he, Mr. Smiley, is no politician and has no idea of the obstacles facing the president each and every day. The last thing the president needs is for two African-American men, who call themselves intellectuals, to attack him on an issue that the president is well aware of and who is working to change the unemployment situation while tackling a multitude of other issues and combating the Republican party, the majority of whom are doing everything they can to keep him from serving a second term. Tell me, would you rather have Rick Perry? Do you think that he will create jobs for minorities? Do you believe that there will remain a Travis Smiley show?
Let me also say, that when George Bush was in office neither one of you went on any bus tour speaking out against him. We know this because what little you had to say about the condition of black folks was done in a forum of respect. Had you done it any other way, you would have had serious consequences to face. Well, you will have severe consequences to face for this little outburst. Believe me, this will not enhance your careers. It also will not create any jobs! All it does, in my opinion, is make you look ridiculous.
You may disagree with the president, but do not disrespect all of us by attacking him! I am ashamed of your actions and urge you to take your bus tour on a positive note.

I 'm so sick and tired of Black Obamabots that always speak on a half White man as a Black man.The first thing you do is always refer to a Biracial man as something he is not and then you think Black people like Tavis Smiley and Cornel West are supposed to cut him slack just because "you see him as a Black man" which is ironic because Obama has never claimed that mantra himself and that's because he knows he's half White.It is Black Obambots and White racists who have made it all about race!
Obama has been nothing but a subservient "stool pigeon" that has bowed down to every group but when it comes to Blacks he has "bowed out" and yet you Obamabots still act as if Blacks owe that man something based soley on what face he appears in which tells me you lack sophistication when it comes to politics!
It's time for you Obamabots to stop telling the lie that no one protested Bush because either you or lying or you didn't pay attention to politics before Obama because Bush was protested all over the world and Cornel West and Tavis Smiley both talked about him harshly! Tavis had his covenant conferences and guess what Obama was invited but refused to go to "that" meeting,instead he wanted to insult that conference by sending his wife who has absolutely no business there because she was not qualified or relevant to politics but Tavis wanted to see the then "presidential candidate Obama"and he refused to address Black issues as you would also afford to George Bush.
When will it soak through you idiots heads that Black people don't owe Obama a thing.You don't see Whites telling their people that since he is also half White,so what makes you thinks Blacks MUST be burdened with supporting Obama? He has been an absolute failure and has only showed he had a pair on the rare occasions he dealt with Blacks but I won't be shocked at all if he suddenly start talking "racism" which will be an absolute joke to me especially since he's half White but as any other slick politician,he would use racism and feed that to emotional Blacks if he's really desperate!
Blacks will be judged so harshly by society based on a dude who is half White that has been nothing but detrimental to Blacks.

Well Said!
But the problem is that herd falls for rhetoric. Obama will make few flowery speeches and it will be good times again.
If Obama can't get the job done, why should I vote for him? Because he's [half] black? or the other side will plunge US into wars, extend the Patriot Act, keep GB prison open, fill the pockets of Wall Str eet, extend the cuts for the rich,....?
Wait, isn't Obama already doing that, so what difference does it make? If Repub were doing all of the above, there would be an outcry by Democrats, instead you have Obamabots keeping a boot on the neck of those who want government to be accountable to its citizens. Don't question the officials you elect, take it like they do in non-representative countries. Because of his blind supporters, Obama is becoming more damaging to democracy than a Republican.

A TWENTY-YEAR PLANS TO OUST BLACK COMMUNITIES & POLITICS!!!
http://www.cis.org/AfricanAmericanPoliticalPower-Immigration
Perot Kindles Surge in Chicano Political Activism on Southside
By TONY CASTRO
Staff Writer for Wave Newspaper
Wednesday, August 26, 1992
LOS ANGELES – An unprecedented Latino Power political movement has surfaced in the ashes of riot-scarred South Los Angeles with behind- the- scenes financial backing from billionaire political maverick H. Ross Perot. A former California coordinator of Perot’s now- defunct presidential campaign is spearheading the movement that seeks to capitalize on the dramatically skyrocketing Latino population in South Los Angeles. “We are the wave of the future in South Los Angeles,” says political activist Armando Sotomayor, who served as the Perot campaign’s Latino coordinator in Los Angeles County.
Power base
“This is a new frontier – a new world order in South Los Angeles. It’s the new power base, and within the next five years South Los Angeles is going to be run by Latinos.” Using a $20,000 grant from Perot and much of the old Perot campaign structure, Sotomayor has been organizing Southside Latinos in a double-barrel method: registering eligible Latinos as voters and assisting immigrants in taking steps towards becoming U.S. citizens. “I support Latino empowerment across the country.” Perot himself told leaders of the new Latino organizing movement at a private meeting in South Los Angeles last June. “Latinos are the swing vote of the future. You have the future in your hands.
Take back land
“You should take back your streets. You should take back your schools. You should take back your land.” In South Los Angeles, said Sotomayer, Perot set off a bipartisan Latino effort that hopes to also recruit and unite small Latino groups from local churches and immigrant organizations. Since late April, Sotomayor’s group, which works under the United We Stand, America banner coined by Perot himself, has registered almost 5,000 new Latino voters on the city’s Southside.
Legal negotiator
“Our’s is the first serious attempt at organizing Latinos in South Los Angeles,” boast Sotomayor, 34, a legal negotiator and a lifelong resident of the area. “Our goal is to finally enfranchise the Latinos who for so long have been disenfranchised and ignored by both the elected leadership in South Los Angeles as well as by the established Chicano leadership in the city. “It is our intention of doing for local politics what Ross Perot did in national politics – and that’s to make change and shake up the powers that be.”
New voters
They estimate 25,000 new voters just from Latino youths who will be turning voter age between now and then. For example, at Jefferson High School, whose enrollment is 92% Latino, Principal Phil Saldovar reports the two-thirds of last spring’s 470-member graduating class were U.S. citizens eligible to soon vote in their first presidential election.
Movement leaders say there is also the potential of another 25,000 new South Los Angeles voters among Latinos from that area who will become naturalized citizens by the 1996 presidential election. A Compton Community College study found 19,000 Latino legal residents from that area alone who will be eligible for U.S. citizenship in the next few years. “A lot of folks who have lived in South Los Angeles for years have no idea they qualify for becoming citizens,” says Jose Govea, a former Perot volunteer who in addition to working with Sotomayor is an organizer for the Mexican American Political Association.
Becoming citizens
“Its amazing, but many of the Latinos that live here could have been voting for years, but no one took the time to bother helping them become citizens.” The demographic make over of the South LOS ANGELES landscape, where low-income LATINO immigrants have been attracted to cheap housing close to service-related jobs, is indeed mind boggling. An area whose population as recently as 1980 was almost 90% African-American is now heavily Latino, according to the latest U.S. Census figures:62.7 percent in the city’s 9th Council District represented by Rita Walters: 41.8 percent in the 10th Council District of Nate Holden: 31.9 percent in the 8th Council District of Mark Ridley-Thomas.
Southside activist
As Southside political activist Jerry Mozqueda, another former Perot campaign volunteer, put in: “It’s just a mater of time before blacks in South L.A. are overrun and disappear. There’s a culture in South L.A. that’s going to hold power the next hundred years. “South Los Angeles is the new haven for Latinos. There will soon be so many Latinos living here that the years to come it’ll make East Los Angeles look like a trading post.” Most significantly, says Southside Latino activist, is that the Chicano movement in their area is not bound to old Latino political leaders or their agendas.
“We are not controlled by [farm labor leaders] Cesar Chavez, [county Supervisor] Gloria Molina or [City Councilman] Richard Alatorre,” says Sotomayor. Adds Mozqueda; “Politically speaking, we’re talking about a political Lotto game in which the Latino in South Los Angeles, especially the immigrants who’ll someday become citizens, are the big prize. “Latino immigrants can no longer be taken for granted,” admits Ernie Delgado, Councilwoman Water’s legislative deputy. “They are beginning to understand that there is power in numbers.” Those numbers, say new movement leaders, were long ignored by even establishment Latino political leaders who failed to recognize the long-range potential of Latin immigrants. “They couldn’t vote so they were written off.” Said Sotomayor. Unfortunately, in the process, so were a lot of us who could vote but who didn’t live in the barrios usually associated with Latinos. “Its sad to say it took someone, an outsider like Ross Perot, to give us a chance to feel like we belong in the political system.”
RESULT OF TWENTY YEAR PLAN TO OUST BLACK COMMUNITIES & BLACK POLITICS

SO CALLED BLACK LEADERSHIP SOLD US OUT WITH,”MULTICULTURALISM”, “WE SHALL OVERCOME” & “KUMBAYA” RHETORIC, WHILE GETTING PAID BY HISPANIC GROUPS TO HELP THEM KIDNAP OUR CIVIL RIGHTS LEGACY!!!
ILLUSION OF INCLUSION!!! NOW IT BIT THEM IN THE A$$
California's African American leaders will nervously be watching Friday when a citizens commission releases its final redrawing of California's political map for the next decade.
They're not as concerned about losing political power in Northern California, where only two African Americans hold political office above the county level - Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, and Assemblyman Sandré Swanson, D-Alameda. That number is unlikely to shrink because of how the California Citizens Redistricting Commission draws its final map.
But in Los Angeles, a more ominous story is unfolding about the future of African American political power because of shifting demographic trends in Southern California. Ten years ago, Los Angeles County was 9.8 percent African American and 44.6 percent Latino. In 2010, it was 8.7 percent black and 47.7 percent Latino.
In addition, the state's black population is dispersing from the largest cities to the suburbs, diluting its strength.
"Because (blacks) are less segregated now, it makes it harder to draw districts around them to preserve their voting power," said Douglas Johnson, a redistricting expert and fellow at the Rose Institute of State and Local Government at Claremont McKenna College in Claremont (Los Angeles County).
Leaders in that region's black communities fear they could lose at least one congressional district. Three of the four African Americans in Congress from California represent Los Angeles-area districts, with the fourth being Oakland's Lee.
Which Southern California districts change depends on the commission's final map. After hearing community feedback on that final draft, the commission is scheduled to approve the state's map Aug. 15.
Some believe black communities in Los Angeles also could lose an Assembly seat and one state Senate seat.
"I have some concerns that the black representation in southwest Los Angeles, the Inland Empire and even the East San Francisco Bay could be threatened," said state Sen. Curren Price, D-Los Angeles, chair of the Legislative Black Caucus. "We could have diminished numbers."
Others worry that the commission has paid too much attention to keeping upscale, coastal districts around Los Angeles intact, said Jackie Dupont-Walker of the African American Redistricting Collaborative.
For months, redistricting commissioners have traveled the state, asking thousands of Californians at community meetings to define their "community of interest" - everything from where they shop to a local park or school, their socioeconomic status, or the race and ethnicity of the people around them.
In the Los Angeles area, the commission has a more pointed challenge: It has to balance the tremendous growth of the Latino population - 3 million more Latinos live in California than did a decade ago - with preserving districts where African Americans would have a reasonable chance to elect what community activists and analysts call a "candidate of choice."
But Swanson, the lone African American from Northern California in the Legislature, said the future of black political power depends on how well African Americans can form coalitions with other groups.
If they can do so successfully, he foresees a future where black people could be elected in an additional East Bay state Senate or Assembly district.
"I am a coalitionist," Swanson said, recalling that he helped former Rep. Ron Dellums win a congressional seat in an East Bay district that was predominantly white in the 1970s. "That's where the future of African American power lies - not in race-based districts, but ones where you win on issues."

Thank You @ Punchi Khn .....I agree,that herd falls for anything.It's insane to ignore the truth but they do it daily!I totally agree,Many Obamabots will say "I guess you want a Republican in office",I just laugh @ them and say"you already have one in office".The man is supposedly a Democrat but his biggest political inspirations are Republicans and they choose to ignore that.As you stated,Obama is just carrying on the same Bush policies,even got his own thing in the act when it comes to "ordering attacks against Libya".I can't support a president that starts war or one that keeps old wars going.
My grandmother whom I love DEARLY,is a COMPLETE Obamabot and at times I have been around her and she thinks he's the savior,I just listen to her because Grandmother would be appalled (LOL) if she knew what I really think of him .

I see Gilligan Obama have 1.1 millions dollars bus. So let try to throw him under it before he can throw grandma from the train for her social security and medicare.This is what happen when President Gilligan Obama think he is the most intelligent person on the island. Let him keep listing to the Skipper Daley. Gilligan Obama got his Nobel Peace prize on Lay-A-Way for ending wars. Instead of ending wars he took a gulf from the stupid jar in his office that Dub-ya left and double down and creating more wars. Professor Krugman got his on economics. He told Skipper Emanuel at the time that the stimulus was to small. Professor Krugman is very dam good base on his track record. Now they wants to call every body a rookie. Kipper Daley should try to get that much bass in President Gilligan Obama’s voice when he talk to the Republicans Mr. Howell and Mrs Howell and the crazy that visit the island from time to time. President Gilligan Obama should remember his Noel Peace Prize is still on lay-a-way. Base upon what the Mary Ann Maxime Waters is saying, I do not think he have he DNA or political will to get it out of lay-a-way . Gilligan Obama have fell in love with his own dreams. It nothing else Gilligan Obama will always have Ginger’s Obama bots and a certain amount of fools that will wash upon the sands of the island.

Grandma is old and wise. Bush was - well I'll keep it to myself instead of disrespecting a President of the United States, but let's just say - even though he shouldn't have ever been a president and did so many things wrong the republicans stood by him and where was all of this outcry we have today?
Grandma understands black folks need to stick together. United we stand, divided we fall. Many blacks today have been trained by the system - that is why we have Black on Black crimes and even disrespect for the first Black President of the United States of America. White folks expect that of us and we comply.

I talk to Black people in my short life span of 63 years. From where I stand The so-call We are Obama is not part of the We Black People. Its not Selling in "Mississippi God Dam, and one of the most segregated cities in America call Chicago which is Obama home town. Maybe some in the crowd is still suffer from flash back plantation mentality. If there every was a Godot, Obama is not it. Some in the crowd of so-called Blackness are losing their mind of fear of going insane. Obama is not the soul of Black folks. I have seem him use the word folks. It is a B note in his speech pattern. It is foreign to his rhythmic rhymes.His words are like manna from heaven. In the valley of dried bones his word will not make them taken on flesh. Just remember he is not into "We Black People". He just wants you to believed him over your lying eyes. If you choose not to believe in him, then its room under the new 1.1 million dollars bus. So if you need a rod and staff to comfort you, then look through yonder window into the bright light of reality. Because there no sound or jester that can may reality anything but what it is. Believe in a convenient lie will not take you where you need to go. Because nothing is what it seems.

This is America and any US citizen if "free" to speak their mind, even if it is a well deserved critisim of our current President. Folks would "blast" George Bush on many topics and we told they were Un-American.
Barack Obama IS a disappointment to many, including African-Americans, who are now worse off than before he became president. Obama came into our lives like a "breath of fresh air" and the FDR philosophy to change Wasington and the way things were done during the Bush admin. He promised to improve education and make higher education more affordable. He promised to close Guantanamo Prison, He promised to have health care for all. He promised to improve our infrastructure and create shovel-ready jobs, and Obama promised to get us out of all the wars.
The Black community is looking at Obama as not only their president, but someone who will help their communities, create jobs and stop the influx of folks (mostly young Black men) into the prison system. Granted, Obama inherited a mess under the previous administration, but our economy has gotten worse, not better under Obama. He is beholding to Wall Street, who is sitting on a pile of money, and getting richer by the day, with banks making millions, speculating is running rampant, and no one is being held accountable-no one.
Between the "let's make a deal" with the health care issue, and the "let's make a deal" with the debt ceiling issue, I believe Obama is an utter failure, weak, but smart, unable to stop what is happening, because he came into office with the mentality to reach across the isles, be freinds with everyone-including the party of NO. That didn't work, so while the Democrats had both the House, Senate and the Whitehouse, we should have slammed our agenda through, jsut like the Republicans would do.
Our family will now vote Green Party or hopefully there will be a Democratic Primary and someone to challenge Obama for the 2012 Presidential election. We are not the only Progressives and Liberals who feel this way. Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich, Michael Moore to name a few, but there are many more. We need someone who will stand up to wall street & rein in the financial hoodlems, and do what is best for main street. That is what Obama campaigned on. Remember?

This people in both chambers of congress, The white House, The supreme courts are employees of ours. Let say that again in capital letters. THEY ARE EMPLOYEES OF WE THE PEOPLE. So the mathematics goes like this ,WE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE EMPLOYERS (300 MILLIONS) = 545 EMPLOYEES. Allot of our employees have been lied on their applications for employment. We did not give any drug test,no credit check, no criminal back ground check. We did not see were some of them behind on alimony and child support payments. No we just took their word for it. Where else in the world can you get a job like this. Where you ask your employees a question and they talk junk and lie to you. Allot of you employers turn around and blame their co -workers. Now we sitting around wonders where all the money went. People or fellow employers we have to fire the whole rotten lot. The whole 545 employees. We can start to take new applications. After all,we are an American Company call a Democracy.

We are not the only Progressives and Liberals who feel this way. Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich, Michael Moore to name a few, but there are many more. We need someone who will stand up to wall street & rein in the financial hoodlems, and do what is best for main street. That is what Obama campaigned on. Remember?
