Ray Charles would say... 'TELL ME What i'd say'. Huuumh! Name calling, "UNCLE TOMS" and much more has the radio rating jumping lately all because Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West is on a Poverty Tour. Steve Harvey and Tom Joyner say it's about anti President Obama but they are on the Michael Baisden show to set the record straight.

Steve Harvey is the real Uncle Tom

[vanexel2]

@Jay20782 so true

[bayoufire26]

Ever since I've known about a tavis smiley his agenda has always been the same. Check his background for you radio host before you go calling names and making statements. Every president do what they will and want to for who they will and want to.... Poverty has no color...

I diagree. Teachers make less money.

@Sulizon, well said! You just happen to be a White person that understands that "Black" doesn't automatically refer to poor. The majority of poor, in America, are White--this is do to no fault of their own! Rich Whites don't give a damn about poor Whites! And, rich Blacks don't give a damn about poor Blacks!

Obama's got to go! He's no different from a White Republican that don't care about the poor or Blacks, so I'm not voting! We've had White Republicans that have done more for the poor.

[MonsieurMercredi]

"i 2012" should be "in 2012"

[MonsieurMercredi]

I couldn't have said it better: Tom Joyner, Steve Harvey, and Al Sharpton are "polically unsophisticated," along with their supporters.

Obama is NO Martin Luther King, and he'll be unemployed i 2012.

[Sulizon]

My Daughter and her family are in the Military make less that 2,000.00 a month and they are white...so don't go saying it's only a black thing, it's not, it's a poverty thing and poverty doesn't discriminate! And the Military makes the least money of everyone and has the hardest job in the world! And some people want to take away the little money the Military has. Gee, I wonder who's idea this is.

[Romello4u]

None sense. Smiley and West are hading behind broad concepts like "Love" and "Poverty" with clear definitions. Do your research people. The black community has gone through this many tines before. There is always a class of Negros who insist on speaking for another class of black people in order to gain favor with the ruling class.
