those who are hating on president Obama were never his supporters.... would your good friends have witch hunt to try and defame you ? where were all these black folks when george bush was in office and we were having the worst economy since the great depression ? where were they and there demands for a black agenda ?

The demo'rats is using a pimp for the domo'rats plantation, becuz there the 1's who started the KKK. Why? To put them in there place, control the blk union, make them subordinate and dependent, now get your free abortion. Look like they did a good job.
I have to look into what Tavis Smiley says more beecause I've never known him to be anything other than " FOR BLACK PEOPLE" Has Tavis changed? cause I am not sure if MTO is just trying to start some mess or are they telling the truth about Tavis.
I will do some investigation before I make my real comments on this guy.
@tee_cee,
Your Question:where were they and there demands for a black agenda ?
Black folks didn't vote for Bush. Blacks (including myself) voted for Obama. 90-something percent of us voted for Obama.
I was checking out a white/mainstream radio talk show out in Los Angeles this week. Latinos are saying they dont care if he doesn't do anything for the blacks. We want him to do for us. That's why they are planning a Amnesty March in DC this Sunday. They say he got 67% of the Latino vote.
ALL I WANT BLK PPL 2 UNDERSTAND IS, IS DAT WE DONT HAV D LUXURY OF DISAGREEING WITH R DISLIKING EACH OTHER, WITHOUT IT BEING REPRESENTATIVE OF D RACE AS A WHOLE. IF U R AGAINST OBAMA, DATS UR RIGHT, BUT STOP MAKING PUBLIC MOCKERIES OF URSELF N D NAME OF BETTERMENT 4 UR PPL, CAUSE IT AINT SO. I HAV NO RESPECT 4 TAVIS, B/C OF REASONING 4 TURNING AGAINST OBAMA. USE 2 LUV MICHAEL ERIC DYSON, BUT Y U WHINING CAUSE U AINT BEEN INVITED 2 D WHITE HOUSE...BOTH MAKE US LOOK PETTY AS HELL. AND NEITHER R REPRESENTATIVE OF BLK AMERICA AS A WHOLE. AND I FEEL D SAME WAY ABOUT D MEDIA RUNNIN 2 REV. AL...
Barack Obama has never fought for black people, Barack Obama has used black people and our politican struggle to make friendships with industrious whites. Obama is a grown man, NO MORE EXCUSES, these excuses from black politicians and the so the so called elite aka blacks who are paid to control blacks are tiring.
Where is the integration of blacks in the economy. Barack Obama uses the black community when he needs it, then he will get on his soap box to impress white folks..
Obama when he was a state senator in the 13th district in Chicago, unemployment went up, crime went up, forecloses w
There has always been two types of blacks house and field, to many blacks Obama represents white acceptance of black people vs. black empowerment. Obama can at least tell the truth. He ran as if he was going to not be afraid and stand up to the system.
Look you got someone talking about the Farce on Washington, when 4 black girls were killed after that racial harmony charade. Whites control the minds of the masses, and you have blacks who just want to serve up under the white power structure.
Gays can hold Obama accountable, Whited can, Hispanics can, Jews can, but African Americans have to be dismissed as usual. I am sorry, but Barack Obama doesn't get a free pass to go to Africa and insult Africans, then come to American and tell white people don't worry about Blacks I will shut them up. Obama has 4 to 8 years and the African Americans have lost an entire generation of wealth and we are getting buried as a group in America, when a white man is back as the face of the Presidency, he will treat us the same way Obama did, then call you a racist, because he will say Obama did it.
The Clinton Welfare Reform, increased African American child poverty. Robert Byrd is KKK, Bill Clinton's mentor was a segregationalist JW Fulbrigh, so was Albert Gore Sr. African Americans just like Massuh Democrat better. White democrats and republicans marry each other, go to the same colleges, live in the same communities, and they play good cop vs. bad cop to control what they view as dumb blacks. White liberals think they should pick and choose which deserving blacks are to be assimilated into mainstream society, yet we as blacks dont pick which whites can make it. Racism and White Supmre
Racism and white supremacy has gone through changes and different phases, slavery to black codes to jim crow to Neo Liberal, Neo Colonialism, We are just in a new phase of white domination of the media, baking, resources and ideology.
I'm sorry but dumb blacks who allow themsleves to be brainwashed will always parrot and defend any black that the white estalishment controls. Obamas policy are probably worse than Bushes polices on the black community, but SOME black folks will support anything he does, even if he brings back slavery. Booker T Obama... another in a long line of black misleader
Tavis Smiley is just trying to put a black agenda on the table, no different than the Gay Agenda, Hispanic Agenda and Jewish Agenda, Women Agenda, you got lobbyist in DC fighting for specific ethnic communities, why cant the grandchildren of the former slaves who built this country, get the same benefits as Whites,Hispanics, Gays and Jews. You mean to tell that post racial is when black issues and concerns take a back seat as usual to everyone including new groups that have popped up..
Every black person elected to Congress and the Senate are members of the Black Caucus, and the Black Caucus hasn't produced for the black community either. You must think all black people are stupid, I have been voting since I was 18 years old. You don't even know what the black caucus is. Most of those black leaders in congress, as soon as they are elected basically serve the white corporate elite, and its backfiring against them now, a bunch of black mayorships will be lost over the next few years, Atlanta, DC, they already lost New Orleans, rezoning Birmingham, Alabama to make the whites st
The Congressional Black Caucus is an organization representing the black members of the United States Congress. Membership is exclusive to blacks,[1] and its chair in the 111th Congress is Representative Barbara Lee of California.
It represents the black members of congress, not the black community, its really a worthless organization when it comes to policy and dollars getting pumped into the black community, most of the members represents places with horrible socio economic numbers.
Obama = opposed to reparations. Obama = supports unjust wars> Obama = advisors targeted blacks for mud loans
Michael Eric Dyson, Cornell West, Barack Obama are all the same, they just want to write books and make money, and white people think they can keep blacks quieted down. Dyson,West and Obama just write books and read speeches. Cornell West nor Dyson fool me. Black Agenda Report is where you get real black thought, I dont agree with the supporting gay marriage and some other things, but the pretty much expose all these phonies line for line, issue for issue with FACTS that can be looked up.
A democrat did start the KKK, but maybe not the Democratic party. Dixie Crats back in the 1920s, use to march on Washington, hell the KKK has moved onto to a new name, The Sons of the Confederacy, they are mostly judges, lawyers and bankers now. The KKK lost a 5 million dollar law suit in my hometown of Mobile, Alabama back in 1981, and they have a speech, where they said they would have to become teachers, judgers, and lawyers, because the old south had changed. KKK still around, but good look trying to locate them.
That dude is talking about the Dixiecrats of the 1910 to 1960s who use to filabuster any policy that would help the African Americans community. The KKK was founded by a bunch of Southern Democrats who use to go to voting both with shotguns to stop blacks from voting. The Democrats of then, became Republicans. The Democrats and Republicans, the white ones, have always played good cop vs. bad cop. Just a game they play. You have KKK members on both sides Republican and Democrat. With a black voting block of 16 million votes, we should be arguing on how to leverage our votes for Business Dev.
The States' Rights Democratic Party (commonly known as the Dixiecrats) was a shortlived segregationist, socially conservative political party in the United States. It originated as a breakaway faction of the Democratic Party in 1948, determined to protect what they portrayed as the Southern way of life beset by an oppressive federal government 2788
and supporters assumed control of the state Democratic parties in part or in full in several Southern states. The States' Rights Democratic Party opposed racial integration and wanted to retain Jim Crow laws and white supremacy. Members of the States' Rights Democratic Party were often called Dixiecrats. (The term Dixiecrat is a portmanteau of Dixie, referring to the Southern United States, and Democrat, referring to the Democratic Party.)
@stnmtndude Obama lined Sharptons pockets real good. He is no different than his predecessor cousins Bush and Cheyney. Just because Obama in the WH, the agenda carried on. When is the American people going to be heard
This HC bill is a farce and I think itz sickening the way hes taking people on private air force one rides to strong arm them to support this bill against their better judgment and gut feelings
The Republicans are the only one smarts in this whole deal sad to say. Obama and his Demorat puppets are the only ones who cant see this is a total disaster
The American people dont want it. More people would have agreed to the Public Option than this bullshat bill that will just increase spending, weaken our wallets, tax us to death and wont even cover everyone. That was the point right. To cover everyone so what the fruck is he doing? Itz not even constitutional to require everybody to buy health insurance so why is he trying to make us pay government fees if we dont buy health insurance?
Atleast with ur information in private companies u can ensure a company conduct code for fear of getting sued or put out of business. Imagine trying to fight the Capitol Hill corrupt mega machine about ur health care needs. They aint listening NOW so u already know what thats gon be like. A frucking catastrophe
@crimsonceo7,
You are right about these big city black Mayors. New Orleans just got a white mayor. Blacks have always voted for black politicians because they are black. These politicians did not have to promise blacks anything for their vote. Obama promised Latinos that he would bring up amnesty. Obama promised Gays he would bring up "dont ask,dont tell". He didn't promise blacks anything. 95% of us just voted for him.
The problems of the black community are the problems of the black community. Let's stop arguing about it and FIX IT OURSELVES. Stop waiting around for Obama to do something.
Many blacks are complaining that we made Obama into some sort of messiah, but what are YOU doing when you hold him responsible for the state of the entire black community? This is more of the black victim, depedentcy on the govt, ideology that f*cked us up in the first place. You don't like our current state? Get out and mentor some teens. Volunteer in soup kitchens. Give speeches. Spread a message. FIX IT.
Stop the bytch and moan about Obama
Now he bout to send troops to Mexico to try and control them crazy gang banging hooligans. How about we secure the boarders first
They killing people left and right down there even American news reporters. Fruck sending our troops in that chaos drug war zone. Thats Mexico's problem. Just put they azzes right along the boarder with tanks. They sent that Cuban boy back to Cuba but a Mexican is here forever
Interesting Article about the big Amnesty March on Washington this Sunday:
Taken from the article (writer is talking about Amnesty:
As we enter the homestretch to March 21st I realize the President, Schumer and Graham are talking the talk. The question is, will they walk the walk?
Before March 21st, will these men stand together and ally themselves with tens of thousands of Americans Marching FOR America and commit to a bipartisan legislative package and clear timeline so Congress passes comprehensive immigration reform in 2010?
Latinos are asking about to stand up for their issues
@stnmtndude We need small businesses to rebuild this economy so why make it nearly impossible for them to operate
Unemployment is already at great depression levels. We are spiraling into debt abyss. They are printing and borrowing money like crazy. Inflation is coming next so - employees u might not have no customers either

-The truth shall set her free
If u think anyone take u seriously u are sadly mistaken. U are truly a jester. Completely for entertaining purposes only. U have nothing to add to any thread EVER! Just a bunch of cut and paste drive bys and tard talk.
U failed when u claim to be 72. That shat sound like a lie right off the bat. Then u try so hard to convince people u look like a 30 yr old WOOOOOO U are a complete trainwreck and dont even know it
Great Britain's National Health Service (NHS) was created on July 5, 1948. As with all government programs, bureaucrats underestimated initial cost projections. First-year operating costs of NHS were 52 million pounds higher than original estimates1 as Britons saturated the so-called free system.
Many decades of shortages, misery and suffering followed until 1989, when some market-based health care competition was reintroduced to the British citizens2.
Unfortunately for those requiring care, a mostly socialist health care system has problems. The articles and commentaries in this section id
identify some disasters caused by government intervention in the British health care system.
I also recommend reading David G. Green and Laura Casper's economic report, Delay, Denial and Dilution: The Impact of NHS Rationing on Heart Disease and Cancer to see the inevitable outcome of the necessary rationing of government health care.
Percent of people who believe their health care system needs fundamental change:
United States 60% Sweden 58 United Kingdom 52 Japan 47 Netherlands 46 France 42 Canada 38
Yeah we need change but why should we adopt their system when they are just as unhappy as we are. They supposed to have the best health care system right?
Waiting Lines - With limited funding, health care has to be rationed. Some medical treatments receive preference over others, meaning some patients wait to receive health care longer than they would in a privatized health care industry. For instance, as of 2009, patients in the United Kingdom do not receive treatment for macular degeneration until they have gone blind in one eye.
Lack of Incentive - In a privatized health care system, doctors are encouraged to practice medicine as carefully and effectively as possible in order to attract more patients. With nationalized health care, doctors are not encouraged as often to be competitive.
Waste - With free health care, patients are encouraged to visit a doctor whenever they want. This will increase health care costs, forcing the state to raise taxes or slash health care benefits.
Lack of Funding - Taxpayer dollars pay for national health care. However, politicians often attempt minimize taxes in order to keep voters happy. In order to keep taxes lower, health care funding is sometimes cut.
Drug Bans - Some drugs are banned under a national health care system because they are too expensive. One example is the UK banning of Lapatinib, which fights breast cancer.
TARDnis Flag Post You pay LESS on the back end
What country has that happened in? Please provide proof. Still no answer because that was a complete lie
Get on my level TARD. U can talk that koolaid utopia spoon fed bullshat all day and night but the truth is what it is. Are we supposed to trust the Demorats or what we have already witnessed in other countries? POOF BE GONE STUPID NAIVE BIATCH!
@TARDnis What exactly is the analogy between America's HC Reform plan and UK's existing HC package?
PART D--IMPLEMENTATION OF BEST PRACTICES IN THE DELIVERY OF HEALTH CARE
SEC. 931. CENTER FOR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT. ‘(a) In General- There is established the Center for Quality Improvement (referred to in this part as the ‘Center’), to be headed by the Director.
(b) Prioritization-
(1) IN GENERAL- The Director shall prioritize areas for the identification, development, evaluation, and implementation of best practices (including innovative methodologies and strategies) for quality improvement activities in the delivery of health care services (in this section referred to as ‘best practices’).
This IS in the bill. Sounds like government intrusion to me. Where have I heard something like this before oh I said it. Remember this from the UK
‘(e) Quality and Surveillance- For the purpose of carrying out part D of title IX and section 1709, in addition to any other amounts authorized to be appropriated for such purpose, there are authorized to be appropriated, out of any monies in the Public Health Investment Fund, $300,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2010 through 2014 and $330,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2015 through 2019.’. YEAH RIGHT
SEC. 399HH. b) Information Phone Line and Clearinghouse- The Secretary, directly or through grants awarded under subsection (c), shall provide for the establishment of a national, toll-free, information telephone line and a clearinghouse that the public and health professionals may access to find out about State-specific and other information regarding advance directive and end-of-life decisions.
SHOULDNT WE BE DISCUSSING THIS WITH OUR DOCTOR AND FAMILIES AND NOT ON SOME GOVERNMENT 800# HOTLINE
SEC. 2553. HEALTH PROFESSIONS TRAINING FOR DIVERSITY PROGRAMS.
(1) IN GENERAL- The Secretary shall make available 20 grants of no more than $1,000,000 annually to nonprofit organizations for the purposes of providing workforce development training program for those who are currently employed in the health care workforce.
Only 20 mil a year. Why not a cool billion? Am I missing something but why would a nonprofit need yearly money for workforce development for people already working? Shouldnt that go to the hospitals?
SEC. 806. REGULATIONS. (E) COORDINATION WITH EXCISE TAX- Under regulations prescribed in accordance with section 324 of the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, the Secretary and the Secretary of the Treasury shall coordinate the assessment of penalties under this section in connection with failures to satisfy health coverage participation requirements with the imposition of excise taxes on such failures under section 4980H(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 so as to avoid duplication of penalties with respect to such failures.
THIS IS THE FINE/TAX if we dont buy HC
SEC. 806. REGULATIONS (11) HEALTH COVERAGE PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS- (A) CIVIL PENALTIES- In the case of any employer who fails (during any period with respect to which an election under section 801(a) is in effect) to satisfy the health coverage participation requirements with respect to any employee, the Secretary may assess a civil penalty against the employer of $100 for each day in the period beginning on the date such failure first occurs and ending on the date such failure is corrected.
I CAN SEE THE LAY OFFS NOW! CANT U?
SEC. 806. REGULATIONS (i) PENALTY NOT TO APPLY WHERE FAILURE NOT DISCOVERED EXERCISING REASONABLE DILIGENCE- No penalty shall be assessed under subparagraph (A) with respect to any failure during any period for which it is established to the satisfaction of the Secretary that the employer did not know, or exercising reasonable diligence would not have known, that such failure existed.
-Ok well atleast he has a heart for people who didnt know but not so fast
SEC. 806. REGULATIONS (iii) OVERALL LIMITATION FOR UNINTENTIONAL FAILURES- In the case of failures which are due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect, the penalty assessed under subparagraph (A) for failures during any 1-year period shall not exceed the amount equal to the lesser of--
‘(I) 10 percent of the aggregate amount paid or incurred by the employer (or predecessor employer) during the preceding 1-year period for group health plans, OR
‘(II) $500,000.
DAMNNNNNNNN! Like Biggie said if u dont know now u know know know
crimsonceo7 I had lost all hope that my people were doomed to that slave mentality/ I can appreciate your post and points of view on the argument/ We share the same views/ Its amazing how much willie lynch has some of these negroes trained/ they do, act, and speak all in line without doing any independent research of thier own/ It reminds me of the Nas song black zombie/ Most negroes are scared to think for themselves/ they just reiterate some babble that thier parents, friends, co-workers, or the television said
