Tavis Smiley Is a Hypocrite who Doesn't Like President Obama

illinoise?

I'm aware that I picked up on this a year late but it appears that it's a little more relevant today. And I know that I didn't hear you saying "attacking " the President? Sis please! Barack is a JOKE & a puppet. Pushing Hilary's failed 96 national id & insurance proposal, 700 bil for banks with 000.5 interest, turning his back on Jerimiah Wright, Farakhan, Carol M. Braun (all of whom he asked to get him elected locally & nationally) to name a few. If he'll do it to them, WHAT are your chances?

[MonsieurMercredi]

@bgliljune, well said! She doesn't speak for anyone, other than for herself!

[bgliljune]

Flat out horrible. If Tavis would've helped you fight case that would have been great, but the truth is that he, Tom Joyner, Rev Al, etc.. get requests by hundreds maybe thousands of people everyday for similar support. Take your energy out on the people who wronged you-the justice system. The word hypocrite is derived from the Latin word hypocrtia it means to SAY one thing & BELIEVE another. Don't let the statute of limitations expire next time. Rule #1. You have to do it yourself. Somehow.

@bgliljune Thanks for your comment. I still believe that Smiley is a hypocrite because he attacks Pres Obama 's actions or in Tavis opinion lack of actions for African Amer causes while he is all about advancing his own agenda to sell books that generates huge profits for him..

you might need to get a good lawyer or call naacp you cant call the man that because of a faulty justice system. Tavis smiley is just a man he cant make them just do it because its him. But im sorry that happened to you stay strong and may God Bless

@MistahNickells Thanks for your thoughtful and supportive comment.

Obama cant solve problems. wake up!

[ericbbyrd]

very simply, how can he be a phony just because he didn't help you? you seem very rational and intelligent...certainly you don't suggest that because one black person disagrees with Obama or doesn't help you personally that makes him a phony, do you? that would be unfortunate.

[vbelle6]

@ericbbyrd thanks for your comment. I believe that he is a phony not JUST because he didn't help me but because my case would have been clear proof that summary judgments motions are abused by many lawyers and corporations to circumvent the mandates of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Secondly he is a phony because of his determination to undermind the best man Pres Obama who won the 2008 election. I hope that my concerns are baseless (H.Clinton won't challenge Pres Obama in 2012). V. Richardson

Many Black people cannot get past their emotions about President Obama to have an intelligent conversation about what he is doing. Many Black people have been asleep for decades and now that Obama is President they have become OVERNIGHT political experts.

The desire to protect Obama has handicapped so many in the Black community that looking at his policies toward Black, working and poor people cannot even be entertained.

[vbelle6]

@jimboedwardlee Thank you for your comment. I support Pres Obama but I have disagreed on a couple of his position including his appointment of Supreme Court Justice Kagan and the surge of additional troops in Afgan.

I realize that Pres Obama can't fulfill all of his goals including some that will be very helpful to the African-Am community because of the time frame and the Rep opposition to him and his agenda.

sista im sorry you are goin thru this but tavis isnt your lawyer nor can he use his pbs talkshow to get into every case brought to him. get in contact with the naacp or aclu. 

[vbelle6]

@Steadno Thanks for your comment. I believe that my experience including my brief encounter with Smiley is part of my divine purpose to shed light on employment discrimination and for that light to reveal that Pres Obama needs to sign an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 64. Amending the act again will prevent attorneys like the NYS Attorney Gen's Office from abusing Fed Rules of Civil Procedure #56 summary judgment motions and one judge from dismissing Title VII cases.

[MonsieurMercredi]

@vbelle6, as an African-American man, I don't like you.  I can't understand your blind allegiance to Obama--he's not done anything for Blacks; however, your comment about employment discrimination is the only comment that you've made in your posts that makes any sense to me. But, how much more times should we give this president that had the first two years with full House and Senate support? He squandered his opportunity to do what you've suggested--I agree with your suggestion. Obama lies!

[vbelle6]

@MonsieurMercredi thanks for your comment. It took at least 8 years and some say 30 to get this country into the economic crisis and it will take Pres Obama more than one term to bring us back toward a path of growth and for him to expand or improve economic equality for all Americans including minorities.

Everthing seems to revolve around you. you must feel really important to mix your name with obama and smiley. Who the hell are you. I can tell you who you are . Youre a race baiting moron who has any number of complexes. None the least of which is the need to feel important and share limelight with big names.

[rheddtx]

I AGREE,HE IS AHILLARY CLINTON WATER BOY! One of them!

[RonaldBarone]

With all respect to your cause, but if you stop using your skin color as reason to judge others and starting doing something to help everyone no matter what color they are, it will put you as good example and others will follow you.

[RonaldBarone]

I am mixed race half black, half white and growing up with both families I learned that we can't live our past, we most look forward in life. You are not better than this guy, cause like him you also have an agenda. Just think about it... and if you are so proud of been african, try to learn about your roots. My grandma never straight her hair, she always said that she loved it the way god gave to her.

[determination9995757]

Bless your precious soul. I too, have been a victim of discrimination on the job. I know the loss that you feel and the violation that you feel. In my heartbreak of unfair treatment, it caused me to get down on my knees, as ask the Father in Heaven, in Jesus name to help me. He did. After all of that trauma I went through, I got another job where I have been for 20.9 years. Hallellujah!!!. This job has not been a cake walk, but the Lord has been faithful to his word and to me.

[vbelle6]

@determination9995757 Thanks for your comment. Bless you and thanks for your comment. I am sorry that I either read it before or didn’t respond or if this is the first time that I read it. Stay blessed.

You have nerve to call anyone a hypocrite? The Bible says, "...Let the herbs be the healing of the nation..." Instead, I bet you take 20 different types of "PRESCRIPTION DRUGS", don't you. 4 for diabetes, 3 for high blood pressure, 5 for heart problems, 2 for water, and 6 for psychological issues...Talk about hypocrisy...

[omenone2000]

I don't think Tavis has a hidden agenda against Obama. He just wants Black issues addressed because the Black vote got him in office. Please be a critical thinker my sister, because Obama isn't doing enough for the people who put him in office. Thank God people like Tavis are calling him out on it.

[vbelle6]

@omenone2000 thanks for your comment. I respectfully disagree with your comment but that the beauty of having a honest discussion. Both of us are entitled to our own opinion of Mr. Tavis Smiley or any other subject.

Vera Richardson

[omenone2000]

So Tavis is a hypocrite because he didn't help you. Did you go to any other respected Black leader with your case? I am not a lawyer, but statute of limitation depending on the state is 4 to 7 years. You can not blame Tavis for your failure when you had years to prepare. Tavis is one man, just like Sharpton, Jesse, and Dyson one man can not fight all the worlds battles. You should be ashamed for posting this video.

[vbelle6]

@omenone2000 I am not ashamed. I am proud of my video, my book, and my willingness to expose Smiley. He has a hidden agenda against Pres Obama and I will not stand by and not voice my humble opinion(s) expressing that belief.
