		<description>Are we still talking about the confirmation hearing? Wasn&#039;t their something just plain wrong with southern white men, who are members of one of the most powreful bodies in the world, whining about discrimination against white males? That one guy sounded like he was slow.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I asked this on another blog, but just to be sure, do white people really think that anti-racism is like racism only backwards? Do they really think that the plan is to ignore the law just to get back at this or that group of plaintiffs/defendants? They act like they think the law is always on their side unless some far lefty ignores it. And if that&#039;s the case, that the law is on their side just because, don&#039;t the realize the problem with that?</description>

		<description>Has anyone seen this?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ordinary People Answering the Call to Restore America&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;No Wonder Black America Doesn’t Have A Clue&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lloydmarcus.com/?p=428&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.lloydmarcus.com/?p=428&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;While flipping through the channels with my remote, I stopped on the movie, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” on BET (Black Entertainment Television). Excellent movie. During a commercial break, they gave a news update. An announcer said, “They tried to get the Bronx kid, Sonia Sotomayor, but she beat them”. There was not one mention of Sotomayor’s controversial racist statements. Thus, ill-informed black viewers who don’t follow the news closely are led to conclude that those “evil racist white republicans” are at it again trying to block a person of color.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;I wonder how BET reported the democrat’s trashing of black, Clarence Thomas and Hispanic, Alberto Gonzalez? Well, those two traitors deserved to be trashed. How dare they prosper without Affirmative Action and lowered standards contradicting the democrat’s victim-hood rhetoric. Education, hard work and character? Heck No! We can not allow such a conservative message to influence black youths. These Uncle Toms must be destroyed!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Then, the announcer praised Obama for his surgeon general nominee, Regina Benjamin, a black woman. Again, no mention of Benjamin’s politics, which are far left. The report glowingly praised Benjamin for her wonderful work helping victims of hurricane Katrina. Call me crazy, but I believe they even super-imposed a subtle halo over her head. Just kidding. However, ANY opposition to Benjamin will be reported as more racism from those freaking S.O.B republicans.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Folks, this is so wrong and a huge disservice to African Americans. Urban radio is also guilty of unfair and unbalanced liberal favored reporting. No wonder Obama received 90% of the black vote. No wonder Black Americans do not have a clue regarding what is truly going on in our country. All they are fed is “Obama good. White racist republicans bad”. Why does black media continue giving aid and comfort to the real enemies of minority progress?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;With the majority of black Americans getting their news from black and white liberal biased media, there is very little chance of them hearing the truth. Fortunately, I escaped the liberal plantation in the early 90s when I was exposed to Rush Limbaugh. Listening to Rush introduced me to brilliant black conservatives like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams. I thought, “Why haven’t these guys been featured on Oprah or honored at the NAACP awards?” &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Answer: These blacks are paradigm breakers. They do not fit the “we are black, thus special concessions must be made for us” template.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;So, how do we get the truth to black America? There are numerous modestly funded conservative black organizations; Project 21, National Black Republican Association and CURE to name a few. Recently, &lt;a href=&quot;http://RagingElephants.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;RagingElephants.org&lt;/a&gt; made the liberals crazy with outrage over their “MLK was a Republican” billboard. I loved it! But, we need much, much more, bold, in your face messages. These courageous black patriots need your support.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;“Emancipation. Revelation. Revolution.” won Best Cutting Edge Film at the NOIR Film festival 2006. The documentary chronicles the civil rights movement in America and the role that both major political parties played in it. This extremely revealing and educating film has yet to receive major exposure (ERRVideo.com).&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am president of the NAACPC, National Association for the Advancement of Conservative People of Color. At first, I rejected the position for the same reasons I rejected joining a Black Republican Club. I thought, we are all Americans with the same concerns and desires for our country and families. So, why is a black group necessary?” I still do not personally feel the need to belong to a black republican club, but to republican blacks who do, fine. All efforts to set blacks free have my full support.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;However, my NAACPC is about educating, not just black America, but ALL Americans to the truth that conservatism is the most direct and fulfilling route to achieving the American Dream.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;There are incidents in the Bible when God removed the scales from the eyes of individuals enabling them to see and receive the truth. This is my prayer for a blinded by liberalism Black America.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;So, how do we get the truth to black America&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oh just give them some fried chicken and potatoe salad. It&#039;s all they want! :(</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t stand bookerrising. All Shay does is take up for all that racist garbage. I was shocked to see that she was offended by the Freepers attacking the Obama girls, and even then, she still tried to equate it with the David Letterman joke.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s the thing.  Black GOPers like to say that the Dem don&#039;t really respect their Black voters even though we vote for them.  This may be true, but here&#039;s the kicker: The Dems may not &quot;respect&quot; us, but they NEED us to win elections.  In some areas of the country, they CAN&#039;T WIN WITHOUT US!!!  So at the end of the day, they may be just as racist as GOP, but they are less likely to be so blatantly racist towards the minority portion of their coalition.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now can the same be said for Blacks and the GOP.  Does the GOP needs Blacks to win elections?  Nope .  They may need us for a more cushy win, but they don&#039;t need us to win, especially in those deep red states, all they need is to hold their coalition of white voters and maybe pick up some minority &quot;value voters&quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So if the GOP doesn&#039;t need your vote, then you are not a real threat to them.  So should they care if they piss you off?</description>

		<description>And, what happens when a black member of the GOP speaks out? Ask Deon Long of Floriduh.

		<description>Thanks for the link from Field Negro&#039;s blog to mine (&quot;known about it link&quot;) -- The Hinterland Gazette. I raised this issue about Sen. Jeff Sessions back in May when I originally wrote my commentary. I think it was swept under the rug until the confirmation hearings when it became obvious that Jeff Sessions was a hypocrite. He isn&#039;t the only one and if the GOP wants to be taken seriously by African Americans, then it has to stop having racist tendencies and leaders who espouse an ideology that can be considered racist -- Pat Buchanan, Rush Limbaugh, Jeff Sessions, Lindsay Graham, Sen. Cornym, etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blackpoliticalthought.blogspot.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://blackpoliticalthought.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>What makes black members of the GOP so sad is that they don&#039;t do anything to combat this. They could be the REAL movement in the GOP that brought them to some relevance in this country and yet they don&#039;t... they cower...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If they could equate &quot;Republican&quot; with what the party is REALLY about and get rid of the racist ish, folks would be surprised how they might actually line up with some of the core beliefs and ideals.</description>

		<description>The scrap heap of trifling, desperate and irrelevant nigros, lurching from issue to issue--all the while trying to convince the other 99% of Black America that they&#039;re smarter than us--is routinely and dependably on public display right here:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bookerrising.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.bookerrising.net/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What makes it a shame, is that some of these folks have the capability to be deep and profound, and would be awesome servants.  But I suppose there&#039;s money and fame to be made in gratuitously being contemptuous of the Black masses.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#039;Sa damn shame.</description>
