Tavis Smiley responds to the contraversy of Obama not attending his State of the Black Union conference that Hillary Clinton attended even though she lost the state of LA
Obama can't go to Tavis' State of the Union to discuss the problems that only black ppl are facing b/c it will make him look like he's running for president to help only black ppl. And he's not here just to help black ppl, he's runnig to help change and improve ALL of United States.
Tavis is a big boy, he'll get over it..but I think he's wrong in suggesting that "race pride" is what propelled Obama...at this point anything Tavis says for this current political landscape will likely be seen as skewed..yes he's done incredible things but that ego (EGO is Edging God Out)...Tavis needs to learn the Negro National Pray- Dear Lord when I've said enough, please help me keep my big mouth shut
Who cares what Tavis says? Let's make our own decisions. He has he right to his OPINION. Everyone does. Just because he decided not to come doesn't mean anything to me. Tavis is pissed because its all about the ratings. If he would be neutral then be neutral. Barack Obama doesn't owe Tavis Smiley anything, Tavis Smiley doesn't owe Barack Obama anything. I just don't care.
No, that wasn't the reason. There was no need to go on a known radio station and blast on Barack. Hilary came in the attempt to gain more african american votes. She was the only canditate that did attend. He went the extra mile in what you call holding Barack accountable. I believe the small statement that Geraldo said which was he can run for President himself is clouding his vision or lack there of. Jealous rears it's ugly face. TAVIS SMILEY IS NOT THE VOICE OF BLACK AMERICA.

YOU all are the haters. Travis Smiley has done incredible things to unite the most powerful minds and powers within the African American community.
