Political Commentaries

A very informative article by a Dr. Hutchinson provided an insightful view of what just played out between Al and Cornell where "The media shoves the chosen black spokesperson into the spotlight and pretends that issues not sanctioned by the chosen one are not issues” then they ignore all the causes they don't like. Most of these so-called leaders have reduced leadership to star and celebrity status, both have gone from the streets to TV. Gone are the days of marching and standing up for a cause “mass direct action" like that of yesterday and it is obvious white leaders no longer have respect for or listening to black leaders today. Seems like some blacks are not willing to give up time, sacrifice and freedom, which reminds me of what Dr. King once said that "There are many Negroes who will never fight for freedom, but they will gladly accept it when it comes". Until then blacks will continue to be marginalized and taken advantage of by both the Democrats and the Republican Party and remain nothing but a weak pawn to whoever seems like the lesser of two evils. I urge people to pay attention to what is happening in the world and before our eyes, remain diligent.

@Trixie - I so applaud you for your posts. No matter how much you may differ from someone, you always make sure your point is clear directed and well stated and I agree on all your comments today.

Umm I think you have it backwards MTO. Obama is the one who is part of an entrenched political system that if you were paying attention just threw poor people under the bus I swear Barack could tell black folks to jump out the window and ya'll would support it. Speak on it DR WEST. Intelligent discussion should not be silenced because SOME ignorant black folks can't engage in independent political thought. I still want to know why they are cutting social programs yet giving corporations tax cuts! I still want to know why unemployment overall was addressed but black unemployment remained steady I don't care what color the man is he was elected by a constituency that is allowing him to take them for granted. Basically ya'll are dumb.

The oligarchs and the plutocrats. I think that's the same thing as the status quo, corporate tyranny and 21 century robber barons. It goes by many names.
