You guys...seriously....leave Jack Thomas alone...you are wasting your time with this bafoon. He's just another "woe is me I'm black" racist IDIOT who will ALWAYS blame the "white man" for his problems. Go outside and do something else. Either that or take care of business.

Diana,

First lets wonder together why a person would joins a site to bash it's members? Don't know Jack Thomas but he seems to be ok with insulting women.

America, especially Black America wanted more from Government, without thinking how do we pay for it. The answer given is of course the same as every great nation has faced, take from the rich, take from the military. But that answer doesn't work. Why not truly find a way more can be rich? Or at least better off. The problem is that it takes effort, and many don't want to put out that effort.

With the retirement of the Baby Boomers there is approximately 11 million jobs a yr. coming available, add that to the 3 millions that currently go unfilled, so why are so many out of work? My simple answer, education is difficult, and many would rather settle for minimum education which comes with minimum wage, instead of buckle down and learn a skill that will get them the opportunity of the future.

So youth and many others decided that the promise of a "living wage" for minimum work and education, is better than a meaningful but more difficult journey. Others truly don't understand that poverty economics and being black are not a good reason to vote for someone. Oh and not to leave out the Latinos who voted for what they feel was the better path to citizenship.

One of the benefits of the U.S. Constitution is the midterm elections. We lost the Presidential election in November but the House and Senate is needed by any President in order to get his goals / agenda met. If the Republicans continue to maintain control of the House and become the majority in the Senate, the hope and change jive will be up in smoke. I personally communicate with my state and local lawmakers and communicate my positions on issues important to me. They listen and over the years, we've had success at the ground level to the point that it doesn't really matter who's in the White House; the real power players are Congress and Senators. For example, many Democrats won't sign on with the President on more gun control due to the impending mid-term elections. That power is invested in every voting American and should not be ignored.

If you look at States like Illinois, California, New York and Massachusetts, they tend to re-elect the same lawmakers over and over for decades yet the people wonder why things are not changing for them.

We can influence this president by working to get our lawmakers in the position of power. Bill Clinton learned this the hard way during his second term for pretty much the same reason I believe Obama will learn.

Nice try "wanna be"...But here are two "woe is me" Black conservatives that you may want to listen to...Truth is a bytch ain't it...

 

 

Colin Powell -

The party has a “dark vein of intolerance” running through it and “if they don’t change” along with America’s changing demographics, “they are going to be in trouble.”....The GOP “still looks down on minorities”

Ken Barnes a Black Republican activist from Sacramento who served on the California Republican Party Executive Committee -

"Last year alone, I donated more than 400 hours of my time to the Republican Party and made financial contributions to a number of Republican candidates. As of late, however, when I look at myself in the mirror there is one question which perplexes me: Can I, in good conscience, remain affiliated with an organization whose message purveyors of racism and bigotry find attractive?

Over the past two years, we have seen Republicans use long-held racist imagery in portrayals of Obama. The president has been depicted as a communist witch doctor, a man inclined to plant watermelons on the White House lawn, and we watched in disbelief as his face was placed on an “Obama Buck Food Stamp” along with stereotyped pictures of fried chicken, barbecue ribs, Kool-Aid and the obligatory watermelon.

What does any of this have to do with public policy or conservative values? Here is a man who excelled academically at the finest schools in the world, has a wonderful in-tact family, worked hard and rose to become president of the United States. Yet in spite of his accomplishments, the president is still labeled an illegitimate, socialist, African witch doctor and has his face superimposed on a chimpanzee.."
