tavis is s[SPAM]ooooo jealous !!! he has never liked president Obama ..... ever since before he accepted the democratic nomination.... he invite all of those who wanted to be the most powerful black man and the first black resident of the United States. nothing worse than a bunch of blk men sitting like women, having a pity party around complaining about a man. SMDH
dcboi
Obama is Black. "Bi-racial" has become coviennient only after Obama came in office. Until recently in VA you had to choose either, Black, White, Hispanic non black/white, Native America, or Pacific Islander as your race.
In the Jim Crow days, they were kept on the Negro side.
That being said, they are angry nothing is being done about the high umemployment rates among Blacks. That will only be fixed in part when more jobs open up for all Americans
@DSCBO,
They are upset because Obama got 95% of the black and vote. He is now telling blacks to kiss his mixed asszzs. He is doing this by ignoring black folks issues and concerns (17% percent Black Unemployment).White gays went to DC back in the fall and told Obama to concentrate on their issues and concerns or they or gonna stay home in 2012. Obama jumped on it. Latino groups like LaRaza are complaining too. Obama got 67% of the latino vote. They want amnesty for Illegals so that their illegal jobs can become legal. They are threating to stay home in 2012 if that doesn't pan out.
The Pres. Obama race issue is a matter of status and how he is seen in white society. If he did something dirty like rob them or jack their car, they wouldn't say the man who did it was mixed. They would say a black man did it. But he is the president, a man of prestige, so they have to claim their half.
@Sean
The homos just got their gay marriage legalized yesterday in DC with Obamas(biracial) and Mayor Adrian Fenty(biracial) blessing, thier getting DADT repealed. I never thought Id see the day when f**kin HOMOS wielded more power than blacks in America. Either way I think this meeting will be nothing but comic relief cause they all seem afraid of Hussian Obama to me.Obama still got to many blacks drinking his kool-aid
Blacks are tired of voting for black politicians just because they are black. Blacks get into office and look out for gays and every other group except blacks. Blacks are starting to learn. Look at what just happened in New Orleans. A White man was elected Mayor there. He got most of the black vote even with 2 black guys running against him. Kasim Reed won in Atlanta by just 750 votes. A lot of blacks voted for the White woman Mary Norwood AKA Buckhead Becky. Blacks folks are getting tired of that wack azzsz bi-racial Mayor in DC,Adrian Fenty.Looking out for white folks gentryfying the city.
Everybody cant be wrong and why is he passing laws to tax junk food and cigarettes. He is trying to cripple the black community. He say its because americans are unhealthy. THATS MY AMERICAN RIGHT TO BE UNHEALTHY AND DIE EARLY! KEEP YOUR GUBMENT HANDS OUT OFF MY D@MN SNAX and just quit smoking turd!
I truly cant stand his azzz
@canabrothalive
He is biracial & he even say he was on a nbc interview. Also google "Obama parents" and you can clearly see his mother was white which doesn't matter but it gets a problem when claiming he just "black" when his mom was the one who carried him & had him. So she is equally important that's why it's called biracial.
If you buy a $1 soda. The tax is going to be OVER a dollar so the tax is MORE THAN THE PRICE OF THE SODA!!!! $3 for a $1 soda. Dont that nitwit know we in a recession! Where are the jobs?
He skip right past that and started spending money like MJ in that art gallery and look where he ended up. BROKE! Just like we gon be!
A black man that makes it this high in society without being assassinated does not have black people's best interest at heart anyway. Think about it... Why would white people who have been racist for sooooo long let a black man waltz into the white house. It's because Obama has another agenda that white people like. If they did not want him to win they could have stole the election like they did with President Bush. Whether Obama got most of the votes or not, he was going to win anyway, because thats who they wanted to win. They know that the public would not suspect corruption in a blck man.
@ROYALGIRL
You are one smart cookie LOL. See that's why black people need to hurry up and get off welfare. It's jobs out there or start your own business. Why should the government listen to you when they are the one taking care of you. The parent don't listen to the child! Nothing is free! Your voice to heard and taking seriously pays a price.
i agree with tavis. Obama isnt doing enough to help the millions of black poor families. One point is how sincere is tavis's interest in the black issues which hurt our people? Is he saying Obama aint stepping up for us because he's mad that Obama didnt attend the Black Union conference (which was hosted by Smiley) back in 2008? Or maybe he has a personal dislike of obama based on shyt we may not know. who knows. bottom line tho Obama aint doing shyt to help the millions of poor uninsured black white and latino people in this country. he hasnt said shyt bout healthcare yet so... Obama need to
So today it's gonna be identity politics, eh?
Ok first, Obama is biracial. Point blank period. However, he identifies more with the black community. I honestly think it has more to do with his skin color. Many young black males grew up w/o a father, momma always working, & grandparents practically raising them. Same with O.
Second, I agree that he has to address the black community more so than what he has. But we also have to remember that he was elected to be president of United States. This country isn't only blacks.
Ughh, so would it have been better to have selected McCain and Palin and march into a potential war with Russia & continue isolating enemies and 3rd world countries than to have selected Obama since so many are displeased with him? Aren't "ALL" Presidents basically puppets that don't really drive the country one way or another? I thought he was the lesser of two evils. Seems to me like the Pres. and Goverment are Tyrants don't don't give 2 $h!ts about the american people am I on some conspiracy $h!t?
Third, I'm not sure how homosexuals came into this subject. Anyways, whether we like it or not, there ARE black gays as well. They're part of our community and part of America, like it or not. The government SHOULD NOT be in the business of legislating morality. Their job is to make sure EVERYONE has rights. EVERYONE. Period. The Constitution basically only gives the Federal Govt the power to protect our country and protect our rights.
The govt needs to stay out our pockets as well as our lives & bedrooms. You don't believe in liberty if you want the govt to make social laws. Period.
@ROYALGIRL
--->If you buy a $1 soda. The tax is going to be OVER a dollar so the tax is MORE THAN THE PRICE OF THE SODA!!!! $3 for a $1 soda. Dont that nitwit know we in a recession!<---
Where did you get this figure? I heard about the so called grocery tax (which I agree is an epically stupid tax), but I heard it was pennies to a dollar, not over a dollar. You have a source?
the_misses Flag post Tavis is sooooo irrevalent..... its pathetic ~~~~~ So much so that you felt the need to say how irrelevant he is~ it's pathetic!!
I think the part that makes "Obama crazies" mad is that more and more people are really starting to feel this way. This isn't Tavis~ this is US WIDE~ white black hispanic~ the VERY PEOPLE who supported and believe in him
*66 comments and still going (how irrelevant)* ----------------------
85% of MTO threads are irrelevant but i still comment on it... do you want to know why???? ENTERTAINMENT purposes idiot......
See that is the problem with black, that is why our race is so far behind all others...WE ARE TOO BUSY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING FOR US..AND NOT THINKING ABOUT HOW WE CAN DO IT FOR OURSELVES. Just too dayum lazy to think or do for ourselves. The President is the President of the UNITED STATES..not just black people..so all you ignorant people need to, spend some time to educate yourself so you won't have to depend handout...to the dumb chick with regarding tax on cigarette and soda..(what you've said just validate my point).
What have Travis Smiley done of any black person, beside, have a discussion about how bad things are. Yet I've never seen a organization with his name sending a child to college...it time for you idiot to stop letting these guy with their selfish agendas pimp yall. Last time I've check Travis have never done anything to uplift or make my life better...he's a STRAIGHT UP HATER! He is no better than Glen Beck from Faux news.
@royalgirl mskiki is a child trying to debate adults on politics your wasting your breath on her lol @mskiki you sound so stupid if gay and hispanic leaders can unite to get obama to address there issues why cant blacks. why dont you stick to taking azz pics on yaself in the br and go play on facebook
to: Jasmine4u] Where have you been? He has been trying to insure the Blacks and Latinos. That's the reason why the Whites are pissed. The Republicans keep complaining but haven't came up with a solution that can get one of their own elected for the next presidency. I thought John Dingell (old white man) was gonna drop dead when those whites got in his face. Once Obama gives the Blacks a handout, what's next? More handouts? He can't trust the Black Caucus because the majority of the money they get goes towards lavish parties. You're not suppose to put your trust in man anyway.
Sorry but this post was about an ignorant and misguided group of self appointed "black leaders" trying to tell the president what he should and should not do.
What I find interesting is that all of these so called black leaders do nothing but get together and hold forums and meetings to discuss the plight of the black community without actually putting forth effort to do something.
Tavis, Al, and even Brother West spend their time putting down the president instead of creating a coalition of their other intellectual counterparts to do something for our community. Over their egos.
@Royalgirl the fact that you are complaining about tax hike on cigarettes and soda (two of the worst things know to the human body) says alot about you. How can you call someone a hoodrat..sweetie you're not any better..and that just from observation..base on the things you choose to debate about..quit hiding behind the computer acting as if you are something that you are not..the more you type the more it comes out..you may not be a rat..but you're sure acting like a ghetto bird..class is not something you can buy in the stores..you have to be born with it..
@Royalgirl..bol Governement intrusion..get real ..tea party talking points..sorry to disappoint you sweetie..but the fact that you can chat we me on this computer is regulated by the FCC, if you drove to work this morning (thats if you work), those are done by the Department of transportation, and most of the things that you enjoy wouldn't be there if it wasn't fot he Federal Government..it kills me how people just start to complain about intrusion and big government...since have have a black president...when Bush was intruding on our rights I didn't hear yall complaining..
The pres really got some of u brainwashed. If Bush was doing all this it would be mayhem in the streets. Their are no jobs in the black community so why tax the two thing most black people enjoy even the pres. Stop dreaming if u think people are going to stop eating junk food and smoking. They just going to go broker trying to get it. More taxes are never the solution.
SELF APPOINTED..SO CALL BLACK LEADERS..PIMPING THE BLACK COMMUNITY..and the weak minded gullable, and need a handout falls for it everytime..who the hell is Travis Smiley what has he done for the black community..I know several black man in the hood looking for a mentor..if he wants to help that's where he should start..instead of always looking for the negative..create positivity.
The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax, a prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality, and, through companion legislation, the repeal of the 16th Amendment.
The FairTax Act (HR 25, S 296) is nonpartisan legislation. It abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities.
The FairTax taxes us only on what we choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn. The FairTax is a fair, efficient, transparent, and intelligent solution to the frustration and inequity of our current tax system.
The FairTax:
Enables workers to keep their entire paychecks
Enables retirees to keep their entire pensions
Refunds in advance the tax on purchases of basic necessities
Allows American products to compete fairly
Brings transparency and accountability to tax policy
Ensures Social Security and Medicare funding
Closes all loopholes and brings fairness to taxation
Abolishes the IRS
***a prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level***
ie: you don't have to pay taxes on anything if you make at or below the poverty level.
***Enables workers to keep their entire paychecks***
ie: no more paying taxes out of every check
I really don't see why anyone would be against this... But only ONE democrat is for it... Its a VERY good thing for the poor of America...
lol@dcstillhere..just because you have a black fist up doesn't make you intelligent or stand of anything..man please. READ the mind is a terrible thing to waste..I'm sure I said BORN WITH (PARENTS)....ok you win..bol because I was about to explain it to you..but I feel like I'm dealing with the kid on the short yellow bus..
@mskiki your back again I dont know where your getting smashed from the only people on here that try and come at me are dadumb1 and his lil b!tch bklyn and you just cheerlead the dadumb1 from what im reading your getting smashed left and right... your silly azz dont even know what a accountant does... sign off and come back when the dadumb1 is around to help you
problem with blacks..we don't like to read anything but gossip...that's why we have no knowledge..the only way you can get them to read something is if it has a $ sign on it..or if it's about someone's life..SMH..sweetie posting the information about the fair tax act is good but they don't get it..why because it didn't come in a $600 check like what Bush sent us..and we had to pay it all back the next year when we filed our taxes. The only time some of these people get news or current event is when they come on here and read this mess..
@Syymone..what does Pres. Obama race have to do with the tea in China..
Everyone looking for a cause..that's not one..who cares, you've been living in this country under white presidents for how long? bol and now you want to complain..find something contructive to do with your activism...IF HE IS BIRACIAL OR BLACK WE DON'T CARE! I'm pretty sure we can find some white in your blood too..step off with that nonsense.
the_misses Flag post oh BLKY
Your soooo right~ you got me there BUCKO! But my reading indicates:
27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove
Like I said~ this site is proof enough~ that people dont feel the same way about oBAMA as they did when elected. I don't need your made up approval ratings to know that. --------------- Lol this site is proof enough???? That was a cute joke…. And please stop copying and pasting from Rasmussen their more Rightwing then you… but good try though hun!!!
@Royalwhateva, when have there ever been jobs in black community, we've always have to go out and find it..but I'm sure the blacks are not the only ones hurting the entire country is feeling it from George Bush mess..and regarding blacks in the crowd of teabaggers ..yes I'm see a few..what are you doing to create jobs in the black community..dont you think everyone can help..
Why teabaggers and repulikkkan always want to put up some poll, here's one for you..I can poll everyone on this site and ask them when was the last time they took part in a poll regarding the President's approval and I'm pretty sure most of us have NOT, and my friends and family have not..no one I know have ..so who are they polling..I know it a sample poll..but who are they using as sample..LET TAKE A POLL IN HERE..HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE PARTAKE IN A POLL REGARDING THE PRESIDENT IN THE LAST 6 - 12 MONTHS..this will settle the poll issue
I voted for the president, but I'm very disappointed in that whack azz health care bill the president passed. What I can't disagree with Obama's weak azz health care bill?
It's SO damn watered down, it's almost worth NOTHING. But I guess something is better than nothing, although this bill is SO watered down it's not funny...
Well, at least now the president IS showing some spine, and is arguing back with Repubs now telling them in the congress that there has to be a vote on health care immediately.
@mizzheeeydagreat1
*Like that one think ill stick wit that*
I yelled about cigs and junk food to get the hood rats attention. Hence why im talkin to u now. Call the birds and the bird will come.
Its more government intrusion. I dont want Bush Clinton Obama or anybody telling me how to live and what to put in my body. You should feel the same but u are too brainwashed holding on to the great biracial hope to lead u to the promise land. Not only is he not going to lead u he gon tax/cripple u along the way.
the_misses Flag post BLKY~ believe it or not BUD people still have jobs to do regardless of the political affiliation. Like myself~ I work for the gov, no matter what the political party is. But the proof is already there buddy~ rassmussen predicted obama's win~ and came the closest then ANY OTHER POLLER (GALLUP)~ as to the margins that Obama would win by. So you can keep that lame line to yourself~ the proof is already there. But good try! MOVING ON ----------------
50% approval rating yes I see the proof..... But once again your not saying a damn thing and that STILL don’t change the fact Tavis is irreverent
sadly most of you know nothing of politics, simply b/c black leaders are meeting together to form a black agenda,v one that is unified and could lend it strength; to eventually forward to the Prez. does not mean that they are haters. all criticism is bad you know. health care would have been passed long ago in its entirety if not for right wing hatred of everything and left wing greed and retardation. big business will always win, b/c they are organized.
Holy race-baiters Batman!! Dyson, West and Farrakhan..damn.
Obama's in deep [EXPLETIVE] on all sides. Thanks to fear-mongers like Beck he's dropped far enough in the polls and given republicans an opening to oppose everything he does...granted it's what they wanted to do in the first place, but now they have public backing.
Singling out "black" issues isn't gonna help him one bit in moving his agenda forward. It's not only wrong for him to do but the dems can pretty much kiss 2012 goodbye if he starts playing favorites.
Symon and DCstill here yall are some real ninjaz, Its crazy that i fotta go on mto to find independant thinking negroes, youd be amazed at how crazy some negroes get when you critque Obama, Ron Paul wouldve done more for black people if he was elected than Obama will even if he getes re-elected and hes white
I didnt say I liked him, I just believe his policies would help out the black community more tahn anything Obama's gonna talk about!! I rarely even post anything on MTO I was inspired because I saw a couple of comments from some independant posters, most negroes are stuck in the matrix and its not too often i come up on 1 that has his own thinking , its just me showing the bruthaz recognition
I have a general question for ROYALGIRL, daprboy, DCstillhere, the_misses, and any other Conservative on this site.
We know how you feel about Obama, but what are your solutions? What are YOUR positions on the issues? This NOT sarcasm or attacking. I'm interested in your opinions. How do you feel about:
Energy Taxation Foreign Policy Domestic Policy Environmental Issues Black Community Issues
Once again (since I seem I have to make myself clear all the time), I'm not attacking. I want an ACTUAL discussion.
@Tennis I have to correct the ignorance.
Kenya is a country in the continent of Africa. President Obama was born in Hawaii.
President Obama is truly African-American -- unlike most Americans with some African, European, and Native Indian in their lineage. --------- Umm. no. As we all know African-American is a heritage for American slave descendents. Notice how is African-American wife Michelle Robinson dosent have a muslim name. Having white and NA heritage, doesnt negate African-American heritage. (Of which Obama has none) IDIOT
So, did any of you take a look at www.FairTax.org ?
What do you think about it?
Is it going to be good for you?
Are you a Democrat supporter?
What does it mean to you that 99.9% of Democrats don't support it?
Does that mean the Republican are trying to do something for the poor and the Democrats are going to block it?
Aren't the Demcrats supposed to be for this and the Republicans against it (according to many MTOers)?
Kn0wledge1ne We can talk about Domestic Policy. We need to stop buying overseas even though its cheaper. We need to build factories again. Grow something, invent something to get this economy back moving again. Green jobs is not the solution. Even though in the short term it will create more jobs but in the end ITZ MORE GOVERNMENT INTRUSION. Just like that commercial during the superbowl. It aint gon be funny until itz u getting chased down the street for carrying a plastic bag. We laugh but the shat is real and a good look into the future
the_misses Flag post @knowledge I actually voted for Obama, but ------------------
If i got a dollar for every Con i hear say that line...I would be RICH.... Obama been in office a lil over a year and you were the same person talking ish right after he got elected so lose that lame ass line.....you probably voted for Mccain
Now I don't see anything wrong with black leaders trying to come up with some ideas on how the president can help African-Americans, but Tavis Smiley is the WRONG person to run it since he sold out many african-Americans who trusted him in steering them to subprime loans while taking money from Wells Fargo. Also, blacks are gonna have to just go back and get an education. No matter how old you are, it can be done. We can't keep asking people to do for us when we are more than capable of doing for ourselves.
TECHNICALLY OBAMA CANT EVEN HELP HIMSELF, LET ALONE ANYONE ELSE, THEY JUST FIRED THAT LADY CANT REMEMBER HER NAME, WHO WAS SUPPOSE TO BE IN CHARGE OF OBAMA'S SAFETY, AFTER A SECURITY BREACH WITH THOSE TWO DRESSED AS ASIANS, WHO WERE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE WHITE HOUSE JUST LIKE THAT ,OBAMA IS ONLY THERE AS A FRONT, NOTHING ELSE, SO IF ANYONE IS REALLY WAITING FOR CHANGE BETTER LOOK IN YOUR PURSE
I could see if Tavis was actually makin' a change himself, he has done absolutely nothing. How long have we've had our black leaders again?! Black leaders signed up to help our community as well. Where are the results, the proof?! Maybe if black people held our leaders accountable for their actions or (lack of) we would’ve seen the changes we’re complaining about now. True the government should help us because we pay taxes too and the government is supposed to take care of the people. However we should expect the same leadership outta our black leaders as well. I bet Tavis want address this though, cause he doesn’t care. Tavis hasn’t done anymore then Obama has done. So what does this say about him lol The pot calling the kettle black.
@mizzheeeydagreat1
Yes brain dead is begging a person to stop talking to u but still keep talking to them. U are the exact definition.
Of course im going to say something back. Im not the one begging u to stop talking. U are the one trying to control free speech. We can go back and forth all day. U are not bothering me in the least
What is a leader?! A leader is someone who step up and lead a crowed in the right direction. We really do not need any activists to lead us. There are plenty of blacks with leadership qualities in our families, our churches and our neighborhoods. There is no reason why we can't come together and help each other. We helped each other in the past; we can help each other today. And the fact we have Internet, put us in an even better position than our leaders of the past. We don't use any of resources. We blame, complain and make a thousand excuses. The fact we are always are on MTO, facebook, twitter says we are not serious and we do nothing constructive for our community on a daily basis. Let’s keep it real.

Flag post what is this mysterious "BLACK AGENDA?" the problems facing the Black community are self-inflicted due to a lack of quality parenting. Obama can't fix that
----
EXACTLY. And until our race address this truth, no one can help us. The government hand out too much assistance and many of us live off them, which gives the government the excuse to cut many Jobs in our communities. There were better Jobs in the past because we didn't have all these programs available. Less government assistance, more available Jobs.
SMH, I return to see the ignorance of some have escalated..DCstill here you keep using the N word, as if you carry it in your hear so that tells me alot about you..the things you are saying are the stupiest analogies I've seen.
@royal, its obvious you don't know much..you don't read therefore you have no reasoning ability..i.e. Tavis Smiley invested in deals with Wells Fargo the same bank that defrauded many in the subprime ripoff, and he made million off the downfall of many.
@@@ hotbunny
YOU STATED;
People need to take off their rose-colored sunglasses and realize that politicians are usually only interested in you until they have your vote. Obama is not going to "SAVE" black people, he's an ELITIST! I've only met a few REALL BLACk people who've attended schools like Harvard, Princeton, & Yale & Columbia. Black people have been hood-winked so many times, it's DIGUSTING. Don't VOTE for someone because of their color. Research and find out what bills they're pushing, and for god's SAKE, Don't listen to anything that they say, WATCH WHAT THEY DO! Black people are going to have to save CONT -------------------------------------------------------
.......So the basis of your logic is as you put it, "real black people," do not attend good schools???
The flip side of that logic is that real black people, only attend mediocre colleges, and universities.
With logic such as yours, there is no wonder why the black American race, is doing so poorly as a whole.
(hotbunny,)... You are a quintessential idiot. I would much rather prefer, being considered and elitist, than the epitome of moronic, illogical idioms such as yours.
Enough said......Artofwar
@Artofwar..I'm right there with me..call me an elitist..nothing wrong with that (more blacks should strive to be this)...see the repulikkan have the ignorant white trash..and dumb azz blacks thinking that being educated is a bad thing....getting good grades and not having to take 5 years to get a AA is a bad thing..but it wake up time..because I refuse to be looked upon as a idiot and I drill this in my children and their friend brains..getting good grade is not an option..it is a must!
@Royal,I'm willing to debate with anyone who shows me that they have the ability to dialog intelligently. All you're doing is using Fox news, teabaggers and rupulikkan talking points..which gets you no where..and I see when you can phase a person you resort to calling them name..the time your on here debating about things that you have facts about...you would take this very valuable time to education yourself in a institution that is qualified...it's obvious to me..that you are ignorant to a lot of FACTS..and to tell you the truth your are ignorant(fyi lack of knowledge) period
@DCstillhere
whitepower is dagreat1. He is making a fool of himself. Who takes the internet that seriously. U know his blood pressure on boil. These demorats are a bunch of jokes. I will love watching them self destruct with their true hatred for black people. They really dont know shat about politics so this is what we get. Idiots doing idiotic things
@DCstillhere..bol I'm not going to do a comparison of education on here because, I will put you to shame..so lets not go there..and its obvious from your numerous amount of posting that you are an ignoramus uneducated fool (the worst kind)..
oh an by the way elitist..is belonging to a selective group..(that group for me would be educated blacks).
But I bet you thought it meant something else..lmao
All demorats do all day is watch faux news. they are addicted to it. Thats why they know every talking point, every term, every program. If u love Obama so much. Listen to him and turn off cable news. That much he was right about.
All u doing is boosting their ratings. Giving them the viewers while networks who support Obama are going bankrupt. Get a clue please
@WHITEPRIDE...he save the country from going in a DEPRESSION..remember BUSH put us in a recession..we were months away from a DEPRESSION..which means your trailer park behind would have been in a soup line begging for food..atleast many people were able to keep their jobs..due to the drastic steps which were taken...oh darn why did I waste my time to type all of this..you're brains is too small to comprehend all of this..
@listen tencents, i mean tennis
if you're going to address me, do not slice and dice your quote to suit your prupose. obambi has european roots!
"President Obama is truly African-American -- unlike most Americans with some African, European, and Native Indian in their lineage." is what YOU said, geniASS
Duh, his mother was American. His father was African. President Obama is truly African-American. -------------- ^What is wrong with your stupid ass. Obamas mother was ENGLISH his father was KENYAN. How the F**k is he African-American. Obama is heritage is KENYAN/English-American and he RACE is BIRAICAL..He does not SHARE MY ANCESTORS who made Jazz, blues, Rock n Roll..His people was chuckin spears and bowing to ALLAH.
@ tennis/tencents
"Duh, his mother was American. His father was African. President Obama is truly African-American."..............by the time his story is told, that could become 'african-african'
"Black Americans like myself have some African ancestry. My great, great, great, grandfather was an African from Portugal. After that, everybody in my family was born in America." .......... this is what i would call TMI
It seems that I always leave at the right time. Whenever I'm gone for a few hours, the flaming just gets worse. LOL
Anyway, I'd like to thank ROYALGIRL and the_misses for answering me with intelligent, well put together comments. They don't come very often. Now I'd like to respond.
@the_misses I agree with you. I don't believe in the welfare state. Welfare itself, however, is not a vice. There are people who genuinely need help. Welfare should be kept at either the state or private sector levels. That's why I agree with the Fair Tax Act. I also think there should be a federal opt-out option.
[cont] Meaning that the states can opt-out a federal program if the constituency (tax-payers in the state) agrees. I agree with working hard as well. My parents are from Haiti, so my mother came from the projects and my father came from a hut. Both are successful. I disagree with you, however, with blaming the nanny state programs solely on the govt. Even if they do enact these programs, it’s up to the PEOPLE to enroll in them. The mindset needs to change in the community as well.
@ROYALGIRL The issue with buying overseas is not that it’s only cheaper, but it’s also better quality. American products are also cheap, but the quality sucks massive balls. That needs to change. This is why we import more than we export. We need to increase our exports by, what you rightly stated, increasing our productivity and quality. Green jobs aren’t the ONLY solution, but they are a part of the solution. I’ll explain why.
[cont] Fossil fuels costs upwards of tens of billions of dollars each year to produce. Where do you think the money is coming from? Renewable is the way to go. Think about it this way; when you flick your light switch, that signal gets sent to the energy company, which has to burn some oil, which got that oil from a company, who had to drill it on some far off land, and paid taxes to that country and America to get it here. After that, they have to play their employees, the state, and the federal govt. Again, where is the money coming from? The alternative? You have a solar panel that cost about $500, you install onto your roof and you have free electricity from the SUN! No worries about rainy & snow days. You can leave all your lights on for a week and you’ll only use up a fraction of the energy the solar panel stored.
[cont] I also have to question your claim of govt intrusion. How did you deduce this? Is your power company also government intrusion? What about the school you went to? What about the road you drove on today? What about this website you’re chatting on? The internet came about by government spending btw. And if that is government intrusion, why aren’t laws such as DADT? Laws against gay marriage? Laws against marijuana? Aren’t those also government intrusion?
We need to reevaluate our ENTIRE political and social system in the black community and America as a whole.
Once again, thank you both
I can't understand how self described pro-Black people can be so publicly against the first Black President at every single turn. I suppose people don't understand that he is up against resistance and conditions like no other President has faced before. His hurdles are three-fold: 1)constituents general necessities; 2)opposition; 3)passive-agressive (and not so passive) racism, not to mention very high expectations. Why can't we support one another? If there's an issue with your brother, wouldn't you pull him to the side to understand him, rather than attack him publicly?
@Tennis
Do you think I give a flying f**k were he was born..LOL..I dont care if he was born on Washington DC on top of the Lincoln Memorial. From now till eternity his lineage is traced to ENGLAND AND KENYA. So how the hell did he become African-American.
And yes it makes a diffence cause Id rather listen to what an African-American WHO IS BLACK says before a f**king KENYAN..Who AINT BLACK
@ syymone "Oh you mean the same way he "did not support David Paterson which he said publicly.You mean the same way he didn't support Bloomberg opponent because of his allegiance to Jews."
bloomberg's opponent was bill thompson, a fellow demorat, btw and let's not forget the way he didn't support all blacks when joe foot-in-mouth biden basically said that obama was electable because he's light skinned and had no discernible negro dialect.
@barnrat - "he didn't support all blacks when joe foot-in-mouth biden basically said that obama was electable because he's light skinned and had no discernible negro dialect."

qualifications to be president. sorry, community leading doesn't count. he never ran a health clinic but he wants to run the entire u.s. hc. and guess what? he is not your brother. you should not have personalized his presidency. he is just a politician like every other sleazy one out there. those of us who didn't pin our hopes and dreams on him have no trouble with seeing him for what he is. a chalk outline, who's in way over his head.
Syymone Flag post @BarnBrat1....Speak that truth!
For far too long Black people HAVE voted for people just BECUASE they are BLACK and that hasn't got Blacks ANYDAMNWHERE! Obama is half White and he still got the Black vote because these dumb azz Obamabots see a Half White dude as a Black man! -------------------
How many BLACK president we had???? How many blacks is in congress????? Stop Discrediting your own race....if you Honestly think only a White man is capable of leading this country your more confuse then i thought.....

you're a year late and a few dollars short with that analysis. where was this little nugget of wisdom when all these young people were trampling over each other to get to the voting booth to vote for the teleprompterer? i say these young people can see the emperor has no clothes and the old people are stuck on stupid.
@Syymone hmmmm 1st you were blaming blacks who voted for Obama solely because he's "BLACK" and now that i called you out you change to the white man talking point.....LOL!!!! Ok here's a newsflash IF Obama fails the argument won't be a bi-racial man can't run this country it will be a BLACK man can't run this country.....Got it????

@Kn0wledge1ne "But she still used a teleprompter in that speech"
she most certainly did not!!!!!! let me just remind you about one thing. when sarah made her first big speech as mccain's running mate(i could google this but that's beside the point) the teleprompter was broken for 15 mins. and nobody knew it. why? because she had the info in her head! our teleprompter-in-chief would have waited for however long it takes for them to fix it. on the rare occasions when he speaks without one, you could fall asleep while he drags out the syllables and hems and haws.
Here's some facts. Europe DOES have the highest rate of health care in the world, at lower cost, & longer life expectancy than the U.S. Over here, if you don't have insurance or they drop you for expenses, you'll end up owing both the hospital and the doctor. In Europe, not so.
Here's the flip side of the argument. How's it getting FUNDED? Through HIGH TAXATION! The Netherlands have the highest satisfaction rate, but have a 48% income tax. The govt is also heavily involved. We also have to take into account of the POPULATION. Socialized medicine is unsustainable in a population of 300 mil

Thanks for saying that.

barnbrat1
That's a myth. I looked it up also. The teleprompter dragged for about 30 seconds and she had speech notes. It never "broke".
At the Tea Party Convention, she most certainty did have a teleprompter. They're used ALL the time with politicians. What's the big deal?
It is annoying when Obama goes every where with it though. I give you that. But he did take on the entire GOP establishment without it. And kicked their ass. I'll give him credit for that at least.
But anyway, [EXPLETIVE] both "parties". They're all in line with the corporations. I got work tomorrow. Night ya'll.

Kn0wledge1ne it obviously doesn't take much to impress you if you think he kicked their a**. he had his bully pulpit and he was free to lecture which is what he's good at. at the hc summit when he had to sit down, he had his a** handed to him on a platter, by paul ryan. you could see the smoke coming out of his ears and he's still plotting his revenge on ryan.
@sotrue
Dont forget Obama TAXING bullets too. Dont tell me u on that half truth tennis koolaid
February 10, 2009 Spike in gun sales leads to Florida bullet shortage
Florida weapons dealers are running out of bullets because of a buying spree that could be related to an ammo-tax scare some think will come from President Obama, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
@Tennis Obama wants to resolve problems blocking congressional approval of long-delayed trade deals with South Korea, Panama and Colombia. begin with Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Chile, Peru, Vietnam and Brunei. Obama want to add provisions to the agreement relating to workers and the enviroment with canada and mexico. Don't twist the words.
@Tennis Obama criticized NAFTA during the 2008 presidential election campaign. He promised to re-negotiate NAFTA. He’s doing it. This will be good for Americans. ---------------
U are cutting and paste half the truth, yep i got ur slick chit. Obama is for NAFTA he is renegotiating agreement relating to workers and the enviroment with the two. STOP F-IN LYING
Obama is taxing us out the wazzzo to pay for this healthcare bill and itz still not going to be enough money to cover it. Obamabots will focus on junk food and cigarettes but where does it end. Educate yourself with REAL FACTS. Not these lies from these GHETTO MORONS like Tennisballz, Mizzdookie and DagreatDUMBhype. They want you to remain dumb
Wow, it's funny how many black people we have here that are complaining, yet know NOTHING about the economy. Our country has to borrow 3 Billion a year to stay afloat, it's that bad. Then you got people saying, "Obama aint done nothing for blacks and latinos, so he's trash." Wake up people. Obama just can't make miniroties his #1 priority. Obama has to be the President of the United States first. Key words being United States, as in, the entire country. Blacks and Hispanics TOGETHER make up less than 20% of the population.
@Tennis
Why do u keep quoting republicans. Im not republican and at this hour I doubt u have an audience so stop COON-ING! The bill needs to be passed and as long as itz passed without the public option Im ok.
Im not ok with the taxes and cost of living going up in a weakened economy. I think that makes no sense. He shouldnt bankrupt the country because of his cock fight with the GOP! When are the American people going to be heard!
(Continued) If Obama decided to cater to the every whim of blacks and hispanics first while treating everything else as less important, our economy will plummet 4 times faster than it is now. We as black people have to get it through our head that Obama's job is to look after the well being of a COUNTRY. NOT a specific ethnic group. Minorities aren't the only people suffering from this recession. Everyone's suffering. So first, let's try and fix the economy before we try guilt Obama into focusing all his priorities on less than 20% of the population. Okay?
Press secretary Robert Gibbs writing notes on his hand to mock Sarah Palin. She's a dope but if the election is over ACT LIKE IT! How does that benefit us?
That was so immature and unnecessary. WE DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT U ALLS PETTY INFIGHTING! He should have been fired but Obama like drama and prolly drinking too much of his own koolaid
Why would I ever run from you. YOU DO EVERYTHING I DO SO U ALWAYS A STEP BEHIND! I been owning u. I can get u to denounce your religion if I say the right things because your weak. You fall for any ookie doke
If I want u to got right. All I got to say is go left. I sit back and laugh when u try to prove yourself on here. I want u to act like a fool in the first place while I sit back as the unknown puppet master. U TRULY ARE A MORON. KNOW THAT
Tsk tsk, people, no need to get heated. At the end of the day, it's just opinions. The presidential term is 4 years. So let's give Obama 4 years to do his dang job before people crucify for not "lookin out for his own kind." My people, we are not above anyone else. We should not expect special treatment just because our leader has the same skin color as us.
No, we shouldn't. Know why? Because even if every single minority in this country voted for Obama, that's only 20% of the country's population. Obama would've still lost. You know what that means? That means that the other 30-31% (at least) of the votes came from WHITE people. That means that more white people voted for Obama than blacks and hispanics. Why should Obama just forget about his white voters and cater to the black ones?
Like a doll I can take out AT ANY GIVEN TIME I feel and play with and when Im done put neatly back in the box and move to the next thing. That's U. Ur the doll and u fall for it every time. I dont come in here because with all u morons, itz easy pickens. Too damn easy. All u wanna be educated fools. Dont know shat. Blind leading the blind. Dumber leading the dumbererererer. I had to dumb myself down like most people do to deal with you. You fools really need a reality check and a long hard look in the mirror
Look, the fact of the matter is, we as black people expect crap to be handed to us instead of getting off our butts and going out and getting stuff done. Obama is not the President of Blacks, but the President of the United States. Stop expecting others to jump in and solve all YOUR problems while you sit back and do nothing. Obama is trying to fix a COUNTRY, yet black people are still running around with this "Me Me Me" attitude. It's disgusting.

Politician 1st President 2nd
@Tennisbitchplease
Black people need help right now not a tax! How a tax gon help people! Is that it? That was not the change I was looking for.
Back in the day. A president would go through HELL if he tried to raise taxes but we supposed to give Obama a pass cause he supposedly Black. Thats on some pied piper shat!
No offense Royalgirl, but I take it you didn't take Economics in college, or AP Economics in high school. If so you'd understand what's going on. Our country is freakin broke, and we need to generate more cash flow FAST. Raising taxes may not be the most popular solution, but at least it puts more currency into circulation to be used by banks, government owned properties, etc. The reason people are losing jobs is because businesses are losing money.
Once you get more money exchanging hands (thanks in part to higher taxes) then jobs will open up. America's health system has always been subpar, WAY before Obama got here. Again, that's not his fault. I understand that people have the right to question government. The problem I have, is that black people attack Obama not because he's trying to fix the country, but because he's not giving US all the attention we want. We're attacking like toddlers.
Apparently it hasn't been discussed enough, because it appears as if no one has come up with a rebuttal to anything I've said at all. For the most part, people have just spouted nonsense. I don't need to get up to speed, because I done already passed most of you up when it comes to Economic studies. Step ya game up Royal...then come holla at me...
