Wonder if Kenny Blackwell will show up? Now I wonder what gem Melman has sent to these folk.
And then white America wonders why Kanye West and others say Bush doesn't care about black people.
This should get hot!

My favorite quote from him:
"You can't rise as a class. You have to rise individually. It's what many of the civil rights era people don't understand."
(This was when he was explaining that he advised the Bush campaign in 2004 to ignore older Blacks who came up during the civil rights movement, and concentrate their efforts on younger Blacks).

32. The Democratic Party platform should be one and the same |
|
as the Covenant. I keep waiting for the Dems to come out and make a declaration of purpose like this and stand by it. However, there is more interest in the horse race than governance. I want leadership. Tavis Smiley, if you ever read this, please start a political party based on these principals. I'll join and vote for all candidates put out there. This, folks, is leadership.

I'm glad Tavis pointed out that Bush didn't mention Katrina at all during his State of the Union speech. However, I wish he would stop saying that it doesn't matter if they are Republican or Democrat, because it DOES matter.

82. ROFL!!! You know, his elevator truly doesn't reach the top |
|
I think I posted this in another thread, but it bears repeating here.
During the 2004 election, he said he was advising the Bushies on how to get the Black vote.
And he said he told them to forget about older Blacks who came up during the civil rights movement, and focus on younger blacks.
He said "You can't rise as a class. You have to rise individually. It's what many of the civil rights era people don't understand."
In other words, it's all abou t "me, me, me" and not about the "we" and the "us."
He thinks we should just go for self, and forget about lifting anyone else up with us.
Isn't that sad?

Black Rethugs have a guilty conscience. They don't want to be exposed as sellouts.

I really don't value anything he has to say. I wonder how much faith-based money he received.

calls them liars, deceivers. Did they promise the native Americans, did they promise us 40 acres and a mule - list of promises made and broken. The minute they make a promise they start working on ways to take it back.The house is burning. Education system not worth a damn.
Real fun watching the Ruthug legislature sitting next to Farrakhan. She looks as comfortable as Bush at Mrs King's funeral serivce.

I watched some of this , this morning and it was very interesting. I was particularly impressed with the lady who owned the Architecture firm. She made loads of good comments.
Oh and that young man who owned the computer firm..Does anyone know the name of his company?

And I really loved the architect. This morning's panel was exceptional--I loved hearing Julianne Malveaux mixing it up about the pimp daddy preachers!
