Comparing what Harry Reid allegedly said to what Trent Lott said about Strom Thurmond is mixing apples and oranges. Lott was praising a rapist, who got away with sexually assaulting a 16 year old Black domestic servant at his parents home and got away with it because his parents covered it up and bought off the victim... He reportedly supported the baby born...but never acknowledged her as long as it could possibly bring down his political career, of keeping Blacks in their place...except I guess when he needed sex...
Strom Thurmond is the old poster boy for GOP racial hypocrisy....He should have been in jail not in Congress..
Like it or not...Harry Reid spoke the truth....I don't care how intelligent or how eloquent a brother is....no matter the number of his post graduate degrees....if he is black as the ace of spades....and talks like Shaft or Biggie or Snoop....or Tupac and is viewed as threatening for some reason...he won't clear local vetting to run for city council..much less national office..
Hell....Tupac an elegant writer and master of the spoken word...is still dismissed by white America as being a thug because of the way he looked...he could never get elected in America...Yet I measure his brain next to Obama's..
If brothers had an equal chance like most of America seems to believe, there wouldn't be 25% unemployment among Black males....The dropout rate...lack of male teachers, etc, wouldn't still be going on...despite having a Black man in the White House..
Jesse Jackson would have been taken seriously when he ran for president......Bill Clinton wouldn't be asking Obama to bring him some coffee...and we wouldn't be having this conversation..
And don't get outraged Black people....have we as a community canceled the “paper bag test” yet?
Are the days of wanting “nothing Black but a Cadillac” and “nothing big but a bankroll” over yet?
What about looking for a job...making a call...talking to a pleasant white lady to get a job interview...putting on your Sunday best to go to the interview only to walk in...be looked up and down like you smell funny and be told by the same nice white lady from the phone that the position has been filled...regardless of how you sound...how you fill out that stylish suit and what is printed on your resume...happens once...okay....happens over and over and over and over and over...and suddenly you feel like kicking some ass....But it happens less to beige brothers then it does to dark chocolate ones..
Hip Hop Mike can go sit down...He's the joker in the deck...except nobody's laughing..
This same book pillories Hilary and Sarah, too...equal opportunity hearsay journalism at it's best...
Sarah allegedly said it was God's plan that she run for VP....We've known forever that God really does have a sense of humor...
Why else would he have given the world Rod Blagojevich....he jumped on Obama in an interview to be published in Esquire in February....
"I'm blacker than Barack Obama. I shined shoes. I grew up in a five-room apartment. My father had a little laundromat in a black community not far from where we lived," Blagojevich said. "I saw it all growing up." ….ex gov Rod B...
hehehehehe!
Oh man... Do I yearn for the days of half hour news at 6pm and 11pm....no CNN, no FOX, no MSNBC.. And real journalists who found two sources before rushing to publish or report.....with at least one willing to go on record....
Oh for the good ole days!

Short Sighted GOP
Do the Republicans REALLY want to filibuster Obama’s stimulus Package?
It’s time for Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to grow some cojones and get tough about this stimulus package. The GOP members of congress have obviously forgotten the part they played in creating this mess in the first place.
They still think that tax cuts are the answer to everything....even after it’s been shown that is stupid economics. They still think the Americans are dumb and listening to them about what is best for us.
Their philosophy has trashed the middle class..we're losing our homes....we’ve lost our pensions...our savings....our jobs....and our kids and grandkids and great grandkids are going to have pay for this mess....
And they still think we are turning to them for guidance?
The GOP has absolutely NO CREDIBILITY...NONE! Yet they act as if they won the election.. They act as if they are still in the White House and in control....
As for Mr. President.....he didn’t grow up in a black neighborhood.....so he may not readily recognize what is happening in Washington.....
THE GOP IS TRYING TO PUNK, HIM! THEY THINK HE IS SOFT...AND THAT THEY CAN GET OVER ON HIM....
This is the time that you have pull up your drawers and kick ass....plain and simple....or spend the rest of your life running from these fools...
Beat one....you’ve beaten them all.....Take McConnell behind closed doors and dare him to call a filibuster....then arrange a news conference to tell the American people what is happening...then schedule a news conference for McConnell..
And let him explain it to the American people...as to why we don’t need the help that Wall Street and his rich friends do....

Dubya Wins Again
I’ve got a question........What difference does it make if we throw the dummy out of the White House, when congress continues to rubber stamp his abusive policies and validates his blatant disregard for our constitution.
I’m talking about the passage of FISA, the foreign intelligence surveillance act. This act allows the government to spy on Americans without having to show proof and get a warrant first. This act also exempts the big telecom companies from lawsuits from citizens for the illegal spying that has been going on since 9/11. Makes me want to send Verizon my cell phone and tell them which orifice to stick it up. Pay as you go cell is looking better and better everyday.
Obama voted for this garbage. Hillary voted against it. I don’t think McCain knows what it is. He’s too busy making jokes about killing Iranian civilians.
The thing that ticks me off about Obama is that I heard him say he would vote for it, then look at it later for revision, I guess after he is in the White House. Hell, why put it into effect at all? Why not vote it down in the first place. He is still a Senator, after all. And there is no guarantee he is going to make it to the White House for a second look in the first place.
That’s procrastination, bro...a terminal illness among my brothers of a similar color. Obama still has my vote, but I’m not a happy camper today.
Anyway...I've said it before, and I will say it again....
After we change the White House, we need to clear out Capital Hill, starting with Nancy Pelosi and that absolutely worthless majority leader, Harry Reid.
Term Limits, term limits, term limits....
