African Americans still have NO political power.

There will be no attempt here to go into detailed analysis to demonstrate why neither capitalism (USA) communism western Democracy or other should be accepted as a whole by the African people. Draw on any beneficial element in each? YES!! Accept either one as our TOTAL system? NO

Those who have been so brainwashed into ideological blindness that they cannot see that the actual political economical and social structures of capitalism aka western Democracy and communism are substantially the same with the same upper ruling classes, same elite classes and the same controlled and exploited masses. Those unable to see this operating over the world before their very eyes will of course be unable to see what is presented here.

　

The drive to increase the black vote should go on. The election of Blacks to office should be accelerated. Still the central question will demand answers sooner than later.

 

 

 

What kind of persons are we electing?

 

After the politicians are elected to the various offices, who besides themselves, actually benefit from all the campaigning and voting?

 

Are they cognizant of the fact that white America has rules that hinders AA.

 

Do they know that they are rules for us and rules for them?

　

What a difference it would be if we had 15 more US Senators, at lease 100 more congress man 5,000 more state legislators mayors etc. In total of all of the black officials dose not even come close to ½ to any branch of government body as a whole. For what is well known is that some “black officials” once elected to office turn out to be as conservative and conservative as any Congressman from the backwoods of KKK Mississippi. Yet politics is too important to be left forever in its present situation AA need more political education on how to choose whom , or evaluating guideline above the gift of gab. The respect of the whites in the realm of politics may be very superficial indeed and tentative. Here he is seeking help in securing a better job and a better position of political economical power. BLACK political power can support…but never replace an organized economic power system with in the race itself that gives it the resources to do what has to be done. THE only smart move that we can make is the command for blacks as a people to be able to do for ourselves…globally.

　

We also need to look at laws that hinder us instead of help or protect us.

　

EX.1 Why is it not a law for blacks to vote. Why is it a bill that has an expiration date?

 

 

 

EX.2 The racist judicial system / Prison system. Blacks are more easily convicted for the same crimes whites would commit with the same record.

Motivated by the public's demand to imprison more criminals for longer periods of time at the lowest possible cost, cash-strapped states have turned to the private sector for help.

Private-sector, for-profit prisons, first proposed in the early 1980s, are a growth industry whose revenues came to about $1 billion in 1997, up from about $650 million in 1996. The two largest providers are Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) and Wackenhut Corrections.

Sometimes these companies simply take over the management of an existing correctional facility, or they build new ones. By 1997, about 64,000 people were confined in about 140 privately run U.S. facilities (prisons, jails, and illegal immigrant detention centers). By 1998, the number had risen to 85,000.

In 2002, with more than 55,000 inmates under its care in about 60 facilities in 20 states and the District of Columbia, CCA was the sixth-largest corrections system in the country, behind Texas, California, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, New York, and Florida.

That same year, its chief rival, Wackenhut Corrections, operated more than 50 facilities with more than 40,000 beds, mostly in the United States but also in Australia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. Some of the country's biggest corporations are investing in the private prison business.

It is not just private prison companies who are looking for a piece of the prison pie. Telephone companies, for example, contract with states to supply phone service to prisons in exchange for a share of the profits. When a prisoner makes a telephone call, it must be paid for by the recipient, often at extremely high rates. States and private prisons collect millions of dollars each year through this scheme.

Is it "good business" for the private sector to make money off the prison

　

EX.3 For over 100+ years Officers/Overseers has been killing unarmed black males with out a reasonable cause.

Just this weekend another A student star athlete has been killed.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sick and upset at hearing things like this happening every month or so. I have 3 sons and I do not want it to be my boys. We need to make law enforcers face criminal charges when an unarmed black person is killed by cops

 

 

EX4.. Civil Rights. Black people have been given Civil Rights for over the past 50 years. The constitution says all men are created equal (It only applied to white males when it was written) so why are ther laws for us saying we have Civil liberties?


Finally we have to face the reality that AA are the 3rd largest minority group and were in a democracy where majority rules. Knowing this fact we have to think offensively in or out of the political sphere to gain power politically. The extremely small amount of Blacks in office high and low does NOTHING for us collectively as a race. Obama has to listen to the majority and that is not AA. We need to understand that being a part of the political process is not having control over it at our numbers. We need to push for more blacks who wants to fill out our agendas. We are 100x out numbered in Capitol Hill. Obama can only do so much for us with out shooting himself in the foot (If he has any intention for doing anything for AA) and he has shown this over and over again with his "Let me say this" to retract truthful statements regarding AA or just avoiding it all together.

Let's stop talking like old white men on a Golf course about politics on CNN and let;s start talking about politics like we are on "LIKE IT IS"

Truly, your focus is misplaced.

Blacks will never gain political powers, not because of the facts that enumerated above!

Last week this Country celebrated MLK's birthday. Next month is Black hx month and supposedly all Americans will strive to live his vision and attain that elusive DREAM.
Besides the Blessing of GOD to make the dream a reality, we are all interdependent on a core of trusted family and friends, who will serve as our foundation to support us when the dream/burden seems too impossible to shoulder.

How can we as a race, expect to fortify our foundation when we care not to see, not to hear and not to prevent the slaughter of millions of unborn babies?

Agreed!!

Does not the gentle-lady from CA, Maxine Waters realize; it is her Democrat Party's policies that guarantee America's dereliction of duty; relative to citizens, born in America, with black skin?

 

Black, White and in between Democrat-politicians have always spoken or debated black issues as if the crippling circumstances for blacks in America is somebody else’s fault; namely; White Republicans/White Americans. 

 

If the truth is ever known, however, the crippling, destructive and slavish policies placed on blacks in America rests squarely at the foot of America's Racist; Democrat-Party!  The Democrat Party is the Party of the KU KLUX KLAN; The Jim Crow Laws (Segregation Laws).  The KLAN mentality of the Democrat-Party has basically remained the same, for more than 12 decades.  Whereas; instead of wearing hoods and sheets; they have worn shirts, ties dresses and pantsuits.   

 

The gentle-lady of CA and her Party need only look in the mirror to answer most all of her questions, relative to the grossly ill-representation and slavish existence for people, born black in America.  Changing their Party's destructive Political policies just ain't, and has never been, in the cards.

 

On the other hand; a majority of black people in America need only look in the mirror to find the root-cause of perpetuating lethal Democrat Policies upon America's black people; by consistently voting for Black, White, and in between, Democrat Politicians.  Every time a black person votes Democrat; he or she votes to tighten that noose-around-their-neck, a little tighter.

The Democrat Party is the Party of Abortion; especially black babies!

@Geraldine Lewis  

In the end we are saying that the whole system is corrupted because its filled with whites with the same Jim Crow Confederate attitude. NO political party has done AA No favors with out protests or blood being spilled.

[IMHOTEP]

We still think that salvation for AA will occur by the same system and people who has demeans AA?!?!?!

 

No other non-white people are more politically active and no other non-white people are more demonized and scrutinized by this nation.

 

BTT!!!!

[Geraldine Lewis]

Of course, America has rot-gut in every political circle! 

Nevertheless, the political Party; with died-in-the-wool policies that have caused black Americans the most grief is squarely the Democrat Party.

 

Black people who have forever voted for Democrats and who by their own Party have been lied to and taught that black America’s problems is the so-called rich-Republican Party’s fault; may never come to grips with the everlasting facts that black America's most onerous political calamities rests squarely at the foot of the DEMOCRAT PARTY.

 

Most Black Democrat Voters often find this fact absolutely too difficult to even think about.  Therefore their utmost rebuttal most often used to counter this reality is: "Well, Our Problems have been BOTH Political Parties!"  This statement is supposed to be the one that changes the subject.

 

Nevertheless; changing the subject does not erase the fact that Black Abortions; Less Jobs; Perpetual Racism; High Crime; High rate of families with no dads; High rate of teen pregnancies; High rate of youth deaths; etc., etc. are very largely due to Democrat Political Policies.  These facts are something with which black people may never come to grips; especially due to the fact that a majority of black Americans have been the Democrat's biggest and most ardent supporters; for decades.  To stop the madness; one need only to consider that one in the mirror, and stop drinking the Kool-aid that have been and continues to be served up by the Democrat Party! 

 

Another thing; black Americans have been talked out of their own Political Party which is the REPUBLICAN Party.  The majority of people founding The Republican Party were all Black.  The Republican Party is the Party of Abraham Lincoln whose dad was of African Descent, and Lincoln who was also America’s first Republican Party President.  It is the Party of Frederick Douglass.  It is the Party of Sojourner Truth.  It is the Party of Harriet Tubman.  It is the Party of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  It is the Party of Southern Black colleges.  It is the original Party of the NAACP.  It is the Party of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday, etc. etc, etc. 

 

Mostly white and other races now make up the Republican Party because Black Americans have been thoroughly talked out of their own Party.  Not only have they been talked out of their Party; they have been taught to HATE their own Party through a constant media drum-beat of blaming the Republicans for racism. 

[IMHOTEP]

@Geraldine Lewis  

1st let me say when it comes to this government.

 

All your doing is splitting hairs. NO mater what party ALL AFRICAN Amerikkkans join we will still be the majority in that party let alone in the whole government body. black Americans are the 2nd largest minority next to Hispanics. FYI they think they are Hispanic or white so your assed out there. Its sad because were trying to use the same system that has kept us down as the masses and still doing so. Its goo to be apart of the system bu black Americans have to realize that they will never control or have a big impact on it buy using the same tactics that whites use (just vetoing) and running for office.

 

 

The Republican Party is the Party of Abraham Lincoln whose dad was of African Descent

 

WHAT!!!!!!

 

That sounds totally historically inaccurate. Plus the fact that Linclon is a racist. He did not approve of slavery but did not want to free us because we would of became a American liability because he felt that we we to stupid and simple minded to be productive members of white society. Africans in America were NEVER set free just based on the fact that it was wrong. This is a great misconception that leads blacks to be passive and under control thinking that your past racist oppressors had humanity and compassion to set you free. When I saw Obama ASKED to be sworn in on Linclon's Bible I knew we were in some trouble. The reality is Lincoln ONLY freed us as a military tactic because he was losing the Union to the Confederate. He didn't even free all the slaves. If you look at the emancipation Proclamation there are 2 parts of it, the last part freeing all with some time passed. He did this to gain Africans to fight for the union.

 

 

It is the Party of Frederick Douglass.  It is the Party of Sojourner Truth.  It is the Party of Harriet Tubman.  It is the Party of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  It is the Party of Southern Black colleges.  It is the original Party of the NAACP.  It is the Party of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday, etc. etc, etc.

 

Pointless!!!!!!!  If Lincoln was still alive he would of sent us to Africa or a place of our own (that would of been a good idea) and those people you have mentioned wouldn't have to waste there time joining a shame government who has never respected you as a equal or a hue-man being. Even when Lincoln died he and other whites gave Africans seats in government and in military during the war and shortly after the war. When the Union reached out to the south to be once again be apart of the house aka U.S. government those Africans were disbanded from there positions due to the new but old Amerikkka.

 

So historically speaking all the way up to current events its foolish to feel that Africans in Amerikkka can achieve total salvation from a former current enemy. Africans in America NEEDS a plan B because the house is burning!!! NO where in history has a people who suffered under an oppressor that has "freed" them..GO BACK / STAY to that same oppressor to  seek force equality on them. Its quite mad from a psychological point of  view.

 

 

[Virginia Fuller]

There is documentary called, "Setting the Record Straight" that illustrate the history/development of the republican party.

I do not believe that that Blacks started the GOP.

The reason why all Blacks and newly freed slaves were Republican is because the DEMS, the party of the KKK, did not allow Blacks to join the JackA...

Watch this film and share it with others.

I have had some success with this.

Your first sentence is confusing, but if I understand what you mean, I would say you are delusional.

Name me one example of a race/nation long oppressed, who gained sudden voluntarily freedom and restored human rights, just because their oppressors had a benevolent change of heart?

No my brother (in Christ) to get or retain our freedom, we have to have the spine to fight for it and protect it.

That's why I am a Tea Partier.

The American System has not changed for AA because too many of us are absent from American solutions.  Too many of us have been waiting for the other guy to fix America.  Too many of us are too loyal to Democrats to learn how it may be beneficial to stop voting for Democrats, and to learn American, political inner-workings.  I say this because for far, too often, too many Democrats do not even salute the American Flag at public gatherings.  It may even be safe to say that most of the times the American flag has been burned; the burners are almost of a certainty; Democrats.  The Democrat Party is responsible for removing prayer from American schools.  Too many black Democrats have been taught that we are African or Afro Americans; not Americans.  We just have not been taught to appreciate and fight for our own country; and I don't mean Africa!
