Cornell West: "Obama has a certain fear of free black men"


Yard Signs cost bruh. A lot of folks want yard signs but won't vote. We made people volunteer to get a sign.

Maybe Barack Obama has a fundraising problem in the Twin Cities. When Monte Bute wanted to display his support for Obama on his lawn and communicate Hope and Change to his neighbors, he got a rude awakening from the local Obama HQ. After securing a commitment from Bute to door-knock on a weekend in the future, they gladly offered him a lawn sign … for $8 and up:

Yes, he does count. Just because he thinks differently doesn't make him no more of a black man than you.

When Clarence starts to think for himself and stop mirroring everything Scalia does, I might think about agreeing with you. Until then, Uncle Thomas does not count.

Robber I don't understand.. if they both are conservative judges.. wouldn't their views be the same? Or did you read some of their reasoning on their judgments and his and Scalia were very identical?
 
I can't wait until OBAMA serves his terms out so MR. White can have his house and office back in Washington D.C. I'm going to love every minute of these "he not black enough" BLACKS complaining. :lol:

Clinton was the first President I voted for. I was young and had to grow up and learn what was really going on around me. I didnt vote for Bush but complained all the time. You act like folks just started critizing Obama.

Scalia and Thomas' decisions are damn near the exact same in every case. It's amazing how two different people can "think" that much alike. Almost as if they were born twins.

Anybody can complain.

I complained about OBAMA myself when he started soft-shoe dancing with these TEA Party nutts at the beginning. I wanted him to get as dirty with them as they was with him. But in the usual DEMO mode, he went the appeasement route. That is not an OBAMA thing. That is a DEMO thing.......Trying to make everybody happy with PC thinking.

My problem is with the mad black mofo's that didn't get their share of the power when OBAMA was running. People like Jessie, WEST, and others because they backed Hillary for VP. They have not let up since the Spring of 2007 when he made his VP choice.

Never heard nobody say Bush #1, Clinton, nor Bush #2 was not WHITE ENOUGH.
These same black mofos that are saying this type of crap about OBAMA actually stuck their chest out and proudly called CLINTON the 1st Black President. But OBAMA is not Black enough for them. :lol:
 
Wow .. I didn't know this was the first time blacks complained about government policies not doing enough for us..


I forgot.. we all were in the streets rejoicing over the raggedy azz school, lack of jobs..lack of funding to HBCUs and all that other bad shyt we been going throw...

We were loving it until a black man got in office.. thanks for the history lesson...lmao

I don't see West like that.. I see him as a black man that really want to see REAL change for black people by this first black president..

I just wish some of you stop acting like that is asking for too damn much...

Blacks was dancing in the streets over Bill and Hillary the entire CLINTON era.
I don't remember him throwing bushells of money at our raggedy azz HBCUs during the 1990's either.
 
Having been called a "white dude in a black guy's body" before, I understand to an extreme lower extent what West is trying to say. However, Obama is doing what he can. I look at it as some of us have seen what they (white) do to each other and have tried to prepare ourselves by learning more about them and their lifestyles. Now, some go too damn far, but the FACT is they run this country. Either get in the game and try to do something for your own or shut the f up and get out of the way.

That's why I'm not a big Jesse fan or others like him. WE need your voice anytime time someone is oppressing us, not just when big bad whitey is.

As for voting ... if I was running for anything and saw where you didn't vote, I wouldn't pay you any mind either. Hell, YOU can't hurt or help me!

Well I wasn't.. And I know many other folk that wasn't... Clinton got a lot a praise because of the Dot. Com boom thus creating PLENTY jobs in the PRIVATE sector.. which is very odd for a democratic president.. Jobs were PLENTYFUL under clinton.. Hell I had 7 job offers during his last year in office.. and when Bush was about to be appointed a few of those companies.. like MCI worldcom and other telecom companies folded... and that's around the time when job offers for HBCU grads started to decline..

So it wasn't like Clinton was just sitting on his azz... he may have not help black directly.. but he did help the economy as a whole which helps everyone.. He did leave with a surplus...

A huge part of that was the booming economy. Even cats with felonies were in demand and getting jobs. Overall unemployment was below 3% at some point. Economists call full employment 97%. They were saying it was too many people working and it would cause inflation because too many people had too much money. LOL Folks are happy when they are getting paid.

But the ACTUAL jobs created and the dot.com boom had nothing to do with CLINTON. Clinton was just the "Johnny on the spot President" when the internet dot.com boom took off. Clinton nor Washington was driving this boom. The people that was driving these companies, creating humdreds of millions in wealth for themselves and jobs for the masses was the super rich investors from places like the Silicon Valley back in the early 1990's.

If you had an idea and the plan to get it up and running on the net, people like that was literally throwing money at it. All that did was inflate the value of these "companies" on paper. People that owned these net companies took them public in a year and got rich by cashing out before it burst. More than 80% of those companies was nothing more than smoke and mirrors and crumbled like a sand castle on the beach after 1997.
