I want a black President.... but stop pissing me off!!!


Just when I started to get on the Obama band wagon… there he go again opening his mouf!!! Yesterday, during a speech made at church Obama made a call to absent black fathers. Okay what is so bad about that? Nothing…. On the flip side, if you ask someone what is Obama going to do for black people folks say, “Well in that position he can’t vocalize everything because he has to know how to play the game”. Okay I dealt with that, but if your campaign doesn’t allow you to be “Pro-Black”… you shouldn’t be allow to be “Con-Black” either! If he isn’t going to make race an issue in his campaign then DON’T!
He is starting to remind me of a crazy old man that I can’t stand by the name of Bill Cosby!! Don’t do it Obama…. Don’t do it!!! I mean come on!!! All the white Obama Feens listening to this…. The first stance that he made on race (without the pressure of Rev. Wright) was talking about negatives in the community. Lord have mercy upon his soul!
Now I began to question his devotion to Rev. Wright myself. Because Rev. Wright seems like a smart man, that would have done this. Was Obama in the pews just because it was a large church in South Chicago and he knew what he wanted to do with his future, or was he really influence by the teachings.?
Okay Obama this is strike two (Rev. Wright and now this)…. Please do better!!!

Why can't we be friends!


So I was thinking about the presidential election recently, and I began to think about Rev. Wright. Everyone one that I talk two generally has one opinion (especially Barack supporters). They think that he shouldn't have sacrificed the Obama campaign by saying all that he did. But a lot of people (especially people of color) don't disagree with what Rev. Wright has to say about race. But everyone agrees that Rev. Wright shouldn't have been talking about it (race), or at least not the way he did.

It seems to me that people in America have become afraid to talk about race. After the civil rights movement race has become the hush of society. People of color will discuss it among themselves and so will people not of color. But when it comes to coming together to make solutions... or even just talk... that doesn't happen.


Americans need to stop guarding their feelings so much and begin to talk about some things. Challenge yourself no matter what your color or race may be, to talk with someone different about some controversial issues and don't limit your conversation to an hour. These talks can go on for hours


This is one reason that I am happy that Obama has gone as far as he did. He is forcing not only Americans... but the world to talk about race.

Bobby boy.... go somewhere and sit your tail down!!!!


What in the world does Bob Johnson think he’s doing? Why in the world is he speaking on the behalf of Hillary Clinton? All that stuff that he said is rubbish because first and foremost SHE HASN’T DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE YET. I really think that this is another one of her sneaky and conniving tactics! They (Hillary and her supporters) are trying to put Obama in a place that would force him to put Hillary on the ticket. But guess what Ms. Clinton? YOU LOSS!!! Get over it!!!

I know that I have been critical of Obama in the past, and rightly so… but It just felt good to be a black man yesterday when he made that speech. And this morning when I got up and herd Johnson on CNN I got of reality check about money in the world. Majority of the wealth in the country is held within dominate America, and in order to get that money you have to be on their side. I guess that is why Mr. Johnson used to be a billionaire. Mr. Johnson sold us over one time (in reference to BET and Viacom), so lets not put it past him to do it again!!!
