Hey Black people (I'm a black man) Tavis was right about President House Nigger Obama.He has yet to really speak to us.The women groups the Jews the Latinos the Gays.Not the Blacks. I don't always agree with Tavis but he was and is right about him.Rev.Wright even said that he does things to get votes.
If Tavis Smiley has such respect for President Obama, why would he have Jesse Jackson on the STATE OF BLACK AMERICA
show?
Jesse Jackson said that he wanted to sexually mutilate Barack Obama. This is a despicable act that use to take place when black men were lynched in the South.
Jesse Jackson KNOWS this! Why would he say such a thing or even think such a thing.
Tavis shows what he really thinks of Obama when he invited Jesse Jackson on his show. It looks like he agrees with Jesse Jackson.
Oh spare me. Lets not pretend that this is anything more than Tavis being upset that Obama didn't sufficiently kiss his ring or support his marketing tool (SOBU) sponsored by Wal Mart and McDonalds.
Now that Obama is President, Tavis is going to make a lot of money being the 1 800 HATE OBAMA guy. He should be happy.
Let me start off by saying Tavis Smiley is just an ANGRY Black man. Barack Obama doesn't owe him anything!!!You are soo right Tavis is mad and jealous he wanted to be OBAMA but nobody would take him serious as President. Then Tavis Smiley should know Blacks only make up 12% of this country. Who do you think REALLY voted for Obama enough SAID!!!!
I agree. Tavis is a MAJOR hater! His egocentric behaviour is incredible.
No, Tavis. You are NOT Barack Obama & never will be! President Obama is a UNITER. You are basically a bigot & an opportunist.
Quit whining like a baby you house negro!
Btw, just what has your symposium accomplished except to compile a number of intellectuals to sit on a panel & DISCUSS the problems selectively affecting the Black community without outlining a strategy to combat these issues?
Revelation 13:8 "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast- all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. Chuck Baldwin for President 2008! Constitution rEVOLution time!
Tavis is a fellow Hoosier and my fraternity brother. He is also a raging egomaniac. Tavis is way too intelligent to believe Obama should or could express radical views regarding race relations without sustaining an insurmountable backlash by a majority of voters. Senator Obama is running for president of all America, not just Black America. Tavis is using this nonsensical argument as a smoke screen for his jealousy. Sell it to Fox News, b/c Black America's not buying it.
But couldn't you also argue that Obama is an egomaniac? I am a black female and I can't understand for the life of me why Obama decided to run now, instead of 4 or 8 years from now. He had to have known his running would divide the black votes between the Clintons and him. And his policies are not that different from Hillary. Why would he deny us the opportunity to have 16 years of strong democratic rule under Hillary and himself-instead of making us choose between the two?Is Palin next in 2012?
Sloansv, Obama ran now becuase he was needed NOW!. How do we know that the Clintons or anyone would do the right thing? How do we know they could even beat the Republicans? There is no way Hillary could have excited and turned out the youth and minority vote the way he has. (I'm at a volunteer station now.) But it's pretty clear - 24 hours out - that Obama has, and because of it will win this election easily. Palin - LOL! He'll win again and go down as one of the greatest presidents ever.
Hip hop is EXACTLY what it started out as. Hip hop is an alternate path for people who otherwise would have ended up caught up in the streets. I get what your saying but the difference between Jay and Chris is that Jay-Z did his crimes before he be came successful and lets be honest growing up in that type of enviroment what good could you expect to come from Marcy projects.
Hip Hop started out as a social conscience effort..it was not about selling drugs or sex. Chris Brown beat ONE woman, but there may be women still destroyed today from Jay-Z's drug dealing. And I'm sure he sold to more than 300 people. And FACT: AMERICA'S UPPER CLASS BUY MORE DRUGS THAN POOR PEOPLE. VALIUM,ANTI DEPRESSANT..FACT:POOR PEOPLE WHEN STRESSED DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY TO GET A SEDATIVE OR AN ANTI-DEPRESSANT WHEN DEPRESSED.WE COULD ELIMINATE A LOT OF DRUG USE W/EQUAL MEDS.
Yea but see there's a difference in the crimes. Chris Brown has anger problems and beats a woman. Jay-Z is poor so he offers drugs to people who have a choice of whether or not to take them.. Give me a break. A grown ass person no matter the class is fully aware of the consequences. There is no excuse and drug dealers aren't the ones to blame. If people are depressed they need to figure out why and fix it. Stop blaming others because you can;t control your life
I do not support drug dealers but I do support taking control of your life and on the most basic level the drug dealers are smarter than the drug users. Chris Brown hit a woman for no good reason and just because you like his music doesn't change that. He could have walked away but he didn't and now he has to suffer. Jay-Z sold drugs but guess what he had a reason. Yes it was the wrong way to solve it but he still did and it's over and he's repaying his debt to society by charity.
That shit affects Jay to this day and I believe the fact that he gave over 100 million to charity and has a special seat in the UN specifically dealing with the issues of bringing clean water and quality food to Africa (which is WAAAAAAY more impoverished) makes up for the 300 or so people that he sold drugs to back in the day. Chis Brown is a woman beater. End of story...
Frankly I find your point void soley ont he fact that you obviously didn't care about upper class people buying drug.
On any class level people still have a choice of whether or not they want to buy drugs. I've been offered drugs and guess what I said... No. The impoverished aren't stupid and in fact because they're impoverished they should know better. It's nobody's fault but your own if you buy drugs.
