• How Can We Bring Tom Joyner Ba

    To All Bloggers, I just couldn't believe it, so I turned on my radio as always and I heard it was true! Steve Harvey and his sidekick were saying how they were protested in Washington when they were moved there also, but now they were the highest rated radio show or one of the highest, I turned it off before it finished.

    I want to know if we can get enough people to write or enough to protest this bamboozle they have pulled. Just as we protested Tavis Smiley, we should do the same this is just as important. Tavis left, if Clear Channel can not sell air time due to lack of listeners, then they will get the message. People here in Chicago are protesting the meters, let do something for us!!!

     

    IT IS TIME TO STAND FOR SOMETHING AND JUST SIT AND FALL FOR ANYTHING!

• WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY

  • From: special1
  • Description:

    All-

    I was very disappointed to learn that Tom Joyner one of Chicago's own home grown, radio personality, show would no longer be simulcast by Clear Channel. I have listened to Tom Joyner for most of my life.. His show was informative, enlightening, entertaining and very in touch with our community as a whole. I cannot understand how this happened. I have no problems with Steve Harvey but he is no Tom Joyner. His show is not of the same caliber. I know this decision was not made over night but I cannot see how another resource has been taken away from the black community, that informed and kept us abreast of issues that directly effective our way of life.

    Tom's show empowered the community, I was inspired by his work to help keep black colleges open, help send our youth to college, recognize individuals for the selflessness. Tavis Smiley was a great moderator and Roland Martin has step up to the plate tremendously.

    I couldn't wait to here the Shicty Report during the election; and to find out who was the Bama of the week...

    IN CLOSING THE BAMA OF THE WEEK AND MONTHS TO COME IS ALL PARTIES INSTRUMENTAL IN TAKING THE TJMS OFF THE AIR IN CHICAGO!!!!

    signed

    A VERY DISAPPOINTED LISTENER THAT WILL NOT BE LISTENING TO ANY STATIONS OWNED OR OPERATED BY CLEAR CHANNEL...

• Roland sounds too much like T.

  • From: makadiff
  • Description:

    Is Roland Martin on the TJMS trying to sound and talk like Tavis Smiley. I think he is Tavis and going by a different name. But they sound exactly alike and they think the same too. But I like Roland's comments better bcause he aint so controversial like that serious thinker Tavis.  But I do miss Tavis just a little bit. Any thoughts?

• King and Obama: The Connectio

  • From: llazaro633

    The Rise of Obama Part 14
    The_Betty
    
    "I'm a church man…And I kind of figured this here is about like it was with Moses with the children of Israel," admitted James Presley of Sledge, Mississippi to the McClatchey Press last December.
    
    I can’t discount Mr. Presley’s feeling. It has been some 40-years since the Civil Rights Movement was short circuited by Dr. King’s assassination leaving African Americans in limbo. Throughout the years there seemed an un-ending search for a suitable black leader. From Jesse Jackson and Colin Powell to TV personalities like Tavis Smiley, black and white America searched until the 2003 Democratic National Convention when a young senator from Illinois named Barack Hussein Obama spoke to the nation. The rest is pretty ordinary until the Eclipse of August 2008 (see Slide 1 below) gave us our first black president.
    
    
    

    Slide 1

    
    

    

    In the months and days leading up to the inauguration, many Americans echoed Mr. Presley’s sentiment and began pointing to similarities between President Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK, Jr.) as well as Moses and Joshua from the Bible’s First Testament. Many liken Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to Moses and Joshua to Barack Hussein Obama.
    
    Oddly, it does seem as if President Obama much like Joshua was standing in the right place at the right time. Frankly, it does seem as if his purpose is to lead a people across a great divide. Unlike Joshua, Obama’s greatest foe isn’t an army of men, but a nation suffering from mis-perception in desperate need of change.
    
    Strangely, the black press has stepped back from what folks like James Presley see as obvious. Why only a few weeks ago, the Reverend Al Sharpton, widely known for his political activism on behalf of the citizens of New York, weighed in on the question. He attempted an explanation during the Tom Joyner Morning Show (TJMS) and quickly pointed to the obvious -- that President Obama is a politician while Dr. King was a reverend. "Obama would not exist had there not been a King," offered Reverend Sharpton.
    
    With all due respect to Reverend Sharpton, I can’t believe he side stepped the grand opportunity to provide a spiritual explanation to simple folk like James Presley on Obama’s assent to the presidency. Now don’t get me wrong, Reverend Sharpton is a very smart man who has had the benefit of years of theological training including history, archaeology, and world religions. But this doesn’t erase the fact that good, well meaning, God fearing common folk like James Presley are looking to men like Reverend Sharpton for an answer to justify their feeling that some sort of biblical divine covenant has been reached between a people and their God.
    
    So, like any good astrologer, I pulled up Barack Hussein Obama and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s charts and took a look (see Slide 2 below).
    
    

    Slide 2

    
    
    

    

    
    
    
    Lo and behold I uncovered an astrological explanation for the simplistic down to earth feelings folks like Mr. Presley have about why the paths of Dr. King and President Obama appear connected.
    
    Here are a few observations I gathered from the analysis of Dr. King and President Obama’s synastry charts. They are:
    
    (1) When Dr. King’s journey on his road ended, he had a dirth of excess blessings on reserve (banked) for the right soul. But in 1968 future President Barack Hussein Obama was attending elementary school and not ready to receive King’s blessing. A crossing of fates had to be achieved. A simple visual analysis of the astrological charts in synastry of King and Obama can confirm that this indeed occurred. King’s North Node or Dragon’s Head lands smack dead in the middle of Obama’s first house and conjuncts Obama’s Moon. Obama may very well have modeled his personality, style and appearance after a father figure who he imagined and dreamed to be a lot like King.
    
    (2) I offer that the charts in synastry indicate that King and Obama were brothers in past lives. In fact Slide 2’s synastry charts had so many connections I would go as far as say this is more likely a fact.
    
    (3) Lastly, I offer that the charts in synastry show that King and Obama share a similar mission. King started it and Obama just picked up where King left off and moved forward. In western business culture they call this a finish to start relationship. In other words, King had to finish before Obama could start. This also explains the 40 year time lag? The time lag is due to the fact that King’s message had to set or rather solidify for African Americans, Women, Gays, Americans with Disabilities – everyone. Like Joshua, only when America was ready to fight for the civil rights of every man, woman, and child could a man like Obama vie for the presidency. The nation had to be cleansed and healed of its overt forms of disparity before someone like Obama could participate in a national election and win fair and square (see Slide 3 below for Timeline).
    
    
    

    Slide 3 - Historical Timeline

    

    
    
    
    How does a non-astrologer like James Presley see these things so clearly?
    
    James Presley was probably able to:
    
    (1) Approach the topic with an open mind from a biblical perspective;
    (2) Reference his unwavering trust in a higher power, like God as well as Saints and Angels;
    (3) Believe that for everything there is a season, and
    (4) Trust the work of his ancestors. Our Ancestors who wrote the bible also worked out astronomical and astrological systems that can predict the timing of events.
    
    Today, there are only remnants of the systems our ancestors used to predict events. A good example of a remnant still going strong is the Farmers Almanac. It’s still published and widely read in North America, but it is only a remnant of the old methods of prediction successfully employed by slave and slave owner alike to survey, settle, farm and ranch the United States.
    
    In my 2009 analysis of the King and Obama charts, I use some of the old remnants which include the astronomical events of our Moon. As stated in previous blogs, throughout the ages the Moon has been a better than accurate predictor of fateful events. Our ancestors used the Moon to predict the best time to plant, the next year’s weather, storms, change in seasons, times of travel, times of birth as well as the rise and fall of empires. For instance, The Rise of Obama series was created as a result of findings I uncovered after careful analysis of the Eclipse of August 2008 involving our Sun and Moon. Solar and Lunar eclipses and most notably the Moon’s orbits, shadows, and phases are considered astronomical phenomena and I believe that when read astrologically the Moon can show how people will be affected by events on earth.
    
    One easy way of looking at astronomical phenomena is as a transportation system like a railway. At certain times trains (astronomical phenomena) full of tourists (Saints and Angels) show up with bags of “blessings” and “answers” both good and bad for the present, future and past.
    
    For the purposes of building a better understanding among non-astrologers, I’m going to make an attempt at creating a fable. I call this fable “The Astronomical Making of a Man’s Mission.”
    
    The Astronomical Making of a Man’s Mission
    
    Right now we have a bunch of tourists (Saints and Angels) coming in at Earth Station North anxiously looking for a relative or an associate they haven’t seen in a few decades. Well, before many of them depart from the station, they crowd into telephone booths and computer kiosks only to discover that their relative has passed on or is just not in the position to receive the bag of blessings. So, many of our tourists (Saints and Angels) do an about face and head to Earth Station North’s Customer Service for help. The Customer Service Reps explain to the tourists how, in most cases, the blessings will go to the next worthy soul. But sometimes that worthy soul hasn’t been born yet or is not ready. In these cases, the Customer Service Rep recommends the blessings to be stored in a sort of Angel-Saint Savings and Loan or blessing bank.
    
    Now just like there are millions of stars in the universe, there are many ways an Angel or Saint who finds a worthy soul can discharge a blessing. This is where a blessing type comes into play. Is it an isolated blessing like a miracle? Is it a one time window of opportunity? Is it part of the fated contract at birth? If it is part of the fated contract at birth with a bunch of what ifs attached to it, the tourist Angels tend to shy away from the planets. They’d rather employ the power of elliptical orbits that cross age old points, angles, and lines in the sky. The most widely used in the west are the Arabic Part of Fortune, The Vertex, and the Moon’s Nodes. The first choice is the Arabic Part of Fortune. She is good for miracles and other one time events. However, the Arabic Part of Fortune has a lot of rules having to do with partners and timing. There’s always the risk that the recipient could miss their intended blessing. The second is the Vertex but she may have a long wait time due to the fact that she requires a driver in order to be effective. While waiting she can lay dormant or spin up some pretty negative events and few Angels want all that. The third is the Moon’s Nodes. The Nodes are two guys named Dragon’s Head and Dragon’s Tail. One side is good, the other has a twist. Like the ocean tides, once every few hours the Moon’s Nodes re-position providing Angels and Saints an opportunity to discharge a varied range of blessings. Of course, because of the Nodes flexibility they have a long line -- but it’s moving!
    
    At this point, I’m going to see if I can capture what may have taken place when a tourist Angel, looking for Martin Luther King, Jr. discovers that King has passed on. He’s made it from the Customer Service Desk to the queue for the Moon’s Nodes.
    
    “Next” a voice calls out through a fog to a group of Angels. They all look over their shoulders and around piles of bags and satchels wondering who is next?
    
    “I think it’s you” points a tall rotund man in a Persian style turban to a thin man in a toga wearing a laurel wreath around his head. After a moment or two of nervous squinting and arm flailing our toga clad fellow yells out “Yes, Yes!” But he is unsure of whether to walk straight or turn right or left.
    
    “Step right this way,” the voice directs. Miraculously a short thin man in a red cap and a blue military style jacket with gold toned buttons appears at the toga clad Angel’s side to assist with his bags. The red capped man points the toga clad Angel into the fog. The toga clad Angel nods in response and steps hesitantly forward.
    
    “Right this way,” the voice guides.
    
    After a few steps through the thick fog the toga clad Angel sees a figure. It’s a man in a beige baseball cap. He’s seated at a glass desk in front of a wall of clear water. “Oh thank the heavens, it’s the clerk,” he whispers in prayer clasping his hands together. “I remember you,” the clerk announced pointing a pencil at the toga clad Angel. “You showed up here late for John Kennedy in 1964 and we ended up giving half his blessings to Lyndon Johnson and Martin Luther King, Jr.”
    
    “I was not late,” responded the Angel indignantly.
    
    “Rest your feet,” directed the man pointing his pencil at a folding chair. “So who’re ye here for?”
    
    “Martin Luther King, Jr.” the Angel announced proudly.
    
    “Ar ya serious?” asked the clerk.
    
    “What madness is this…?"
    
    “No madness,” the clerk replied in a chuckle. “But Martin Luther King, Jr. has been dead for some forty years and the last I heard he was volunteering as a Saint in Chicago.”
    
    “A saint!”
    
    The clerk pushed his chair back and turned facing the wall of flowing water. After a moment or two he waves his right hand horizontally back and forth across the flow.
    
    “What do you see?” asked the Angel.
    
    “A man who wants to be president. He is very good at finding common ground between people who don’t like each other. The language used is very different but the mission is the same.”
    
    “In war!”
    
    “No, in peace.”
    
    “Aaaah!” responded the Angel. “Such a man regardless of his position is deserving of these gifts.”
    
    “Huuuumm!” pondered the clerk. “But peace doesn’t feed people, or bring rains, or stop the earth from trembling. These are some of the world’s big problems.”
    
    “You’re right God does all that” piped the toga clad Angel. “ Peace just allows beings like me to finish their work! Now young man, when can I discharge my goods?”
    
    “August”…answered the clerk. The clerk’s image changed briefly to that of Father Time. This startled the toga clad Angel who sat back in his chair. Father Time then slowly turned back to the image of the clerk and began starring into the water. “Yes… August 1, 2008…there’s an eclipse… a Node, a Saint…it’ll work!”
    
    The Angel, realizing that he was in the presence of a great one leaned forward cautiously and nodded in humble approval.
    
    “You’ve got a 36-hour wait, ” explained the clerk. “I’ll give you a pass to the Lion’s Den and…”
    
    “Biggie!!” a voice boomed from behind the clerk. A man resembling a very young and slim version of Brad Pitt emerged and without warning leapt toward the toga clad Angel.
    
    “What madness is this…” screamed the toga clad Angel.
    
    “Tupak, Tupak take yer hands offa that man, yeu don know him,” scolded the clerk.
    
    The man the clerk referred to as Tupak stood up, withdrew and stared at the toga clad Angel whose headband of laurel sat lopsided and wilted upon his head.
    
    “I’ve done it again, I’m sorry sir a…a…”
    
    “I am Arcturus the 22nd” answered the Angel as he straightened his head laurel, rubbed his neck, and brushed dust from his toga.
    
    “Tupak!” exclaimed the clerk in stern warning. Tupak crouched down low and faded from sight.
    
    “Yes sir Mr. Arctorfus the 22nd step this way” said the clerk in a gentle tone seemingly undisturbed by the interruption. He rose from his desk and step around to the first Angel and extended his hand to help him up from his seat. “This way now. I’ll point you to the main Kiosk for the Lions Den. My assistant will carry your bags over. All you have to do is give them this pass and they’ll take it from there.”
    
    The Angel Arcturus took the pass and quickly uttered prayers for what occurred between the clerk, the strange man called Tupak and himself. He then looked straight into the clerk’s eyes. “Just give him a mission and he will be whole again. “
    
    “It is not my will,” responded the clerk as he guided the first Angel into the fog. As Arcturus stepped forward, he heard the clerk call out some feet behind him: “Next!”
    
    Arcturus the 22nd, made his way confidently through the thick fog as directed by the clerk. After the 12th step the fog began to clear again. Soon he was able to make out a white gazebo. As he drew nearer he could hear voices. He detected some distress in the tones. It seemed that there was a dispute going on.
    
    “Sir, may I remind you that I am General Goethals and I’m here to escort General Eisenhower on a pleasure trip to Hawaii.”
    
    “You are not listening. You must go back through to the clerk and get a new pass,” pleaded another man. This one appeared as a young brown haired man fashioning a pony tail and a saber. Oddly, he was dressed in a long sleeve oversized white tee shirt, beige cargo paints, and sneakers. “This pass is no good for the Lions Den. It’s expired. Besides, General Eisenhower is not here!”
    
    As soon as the Angel Arcturus approached, the man calling himself General Goethals faded from sight much like the Tupak fellow. In fact, he thought they looked the same.
    
    “Welcome!” the pony tailed man bowed low, rose, clicked his heels and extended his hand. “Your pass please?”
    
    Arcturus handed over his pass and watched as the pony tailed clerk examined it intently. “Please step this way,” he instructed leading Arcturus through the gazebo into a lush garden restaurant teeming with plants, flowers and wide screen TVs with headphones. Arcturus could see a bar in the foreground where a bartender was busy taking orders from waiters. All the tables were round with glass tops. They were garden tables with small telephones in the middle of them. All the tables were spaced generously allowing for extra wide chairs and ottomans. Several Angels who had arrived earlier were already snoozing -- a few with mouths gaped open. Judging from the mounds of food and empty glasses of wine, there was little wonder why this behavior was so pervasive.
    
    The pony tailed man guided Arcturus to his table. “Here we are,” he explained clasping his hands and winking. “You have a 36-hour lay over before your event. The wait staff will bring you anything you’d like. The extra chairs and telephone are for visitors who will be collaborating with you on the event. If you need anything or have any questions our wait staff is equipped to assist you. Welcome to the Lion’s Den Angel Arcturus the 22nd and enjoy your stay.”
    
    Arcturus the 22nd sat for a while undisturbed taking in his Eden like surroundings. He had nearly drifted off to sleep when a waiter appeared.
    
    “Mr. Arcturus sir,” he said politely bowing low enough to expose the crown of his head where the hair was just beginning to thin. “My name is Slomenivic and I will be serving you today." He handed Arcturus a menu and explained what the specials were as well as the events that would occur. He wrote every request down and he seemed to appear instantaneously with food, drink, as well as incoming messages and reports. For some hours Arcturus was allowed to snooze. Angels don’t usually sleep but this was Earth Station North – odd things were not a surprise.
    
    A day later the waiter appeared to gently wake Arcturus. “Your first member is here. It’s the Saint’s Dragon’s Head. He’s straight with the details he just wants to meet you.”
    
    This happened repeatedly until the actual Saint appeared with another Angel called Guardian representing the Moon. It seemed as if they all had met before. They laughed and talked like old friends – but they weren’t. It may be another century before they all get the chance to meet again. The waiter brought wine and they toasted to this possibility as the countdown to the Eclipse of August 2008 began. The Saint left first to take his position and the Saint’s Node returned for his position was to sit with Arcturus. The Guardian representing the Moon departed next for his place was with the recipient. Arcturus was getting nervous it was time he opened his bag.
    
    “Here it is!” Arcturus exclaimed raising an old, worn brown leather satchel.
    
    “Do you think we’ll make a difference this time,” asked the Saint’s Dragon Head.
    
    “It’s a slightly different approach,” explained Arcturus. “But I’m sure we’ll make a difference.”
    
    Suddenly, the lights in the Lion’s Den dimmed – The Eclipse had arrived. Arcturus opened the satchel and a small spark of starlight flew out tapping the Saint’s Dragon Head on the shoulder and roaming slowly around the Lion’s Den. Then without warning the starlight took off at the speed of light traveling to each member of the Arcturus team positioned on Earth and in the Heavens. When light finally emerged from behind the Moon marking the end of the Eclipse, the starlight raced toward it and blended in with the Sun's rays racing toward North America (see Slide 4 below).
    
    

    Slide 4
    

    
    Arcturus and the Saint’s Dragon Head jumped and dance around in glee.
    
    “Thank you, it will be different. I just know it!” exclaimed the Saint’s Dragon Head.
    
    At that moment the pony tailed man and the red capped man appeared to collect Arcturus and his bags.
    
    Arcturus bid his friend farewell and wiped a tear from his eye.
    
    “These bags are much lighter this time,” commented the red capped man as he lead Arcturus back through the Gazebo into a thick fog. In no time they were back aboard a train. “By the way, who did you decide to give the blessings to?” asked the red cap.
    
    “I gave the light to a man running for president somewhere in America. I think they call him Obama.”
    
    See Slide 2 and try to locate all of Arcturus’ team members. If you find more please send a message through this blog.
    
    Just like when we were kids, sometimes a simple fable or two helps foster simple understandings. Maybe The Rise of Obama is just like what James Presley described when he told the media he saw Obama “like it was with Moses and the children of Israel.” Maybe it’s like Joshua? Maybe it’s like King? All I know is that the heavens have a way of re-cycling old blessings to fill a need.
    
    Personally, I don’t believe Obama is like Moses, Joshua or King even though historical similarities exist. Frankly, I wouldn’t want Obama to lead us to a dead end in the desert for forty years, or into a war to kill every living soul because he made the Sun and the Moon stand still (by the way this was probably an eclipse). Similarly, I wouldn’t want Obama as a spiritual leader in the same manner as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. King’s mission was unique. He was charged with changing the psychological mindset of a defeated people so they could stand up, challenge and change a nation’s culture and laws for the betterment of everyone. Anyone watching VH1 today can see how much circumstances have changed. My hope is that Obama’s rise will grow to foster understanding and trust among world leaders. Imagine a planet where world leaders really trusted the United States. Do you war with those you trust?
    
    Yes, like in the case of Joshua, the Sun and the Moon seem to stand still long enough to bless Obama with the U.S. Presidency. If the Eclipse of August 2008 unleashed certain blessings fostering a miracle, my hope is that the miracle will continue to trample mis-perception and spawn constructive change for us all.
    
    Peace!

• Obama ain't Jesus!

  • From: thomastaylor
  • Description:

    Obama aint Jesus Christ

    By

    Thomas N. Taylor

    From the African’s first forced landing upon these distant colonial shores in 1619 to election night 2008; the convergence of “Black history and American History was inevitable. The election of Barack Hussein Obama as the 44^th President of the United States marks a seminal moment in our nation’s narrative.

     

    The gritty journey of the African American from the struggles of slavery to his triumphant ascendancy to this countries highest office, is the story of a people personified as Barack Obama.  His success is but representative epilogue for all who came before him and we who now stand with him. And yet there are those who would deny him and us this victory. The anointed intellectuals among us and so call leaders are having a hard time with this scenario.

     

    I watched the “esteemed” Cornel West recently on Tavis Smiley’s program straddling the unstoppable Obama band wagon as he proclaimed how he’s out there campaigning and “pulling for the brother to win on November 4^th” (as if he had another choice) He immediately offered the caveat that “bright and early on November 5^th, should the brother prevail,” he would be in his face “holding him accountable” and otherwise placing demands on the President Elect.

     

    West boasted about how he told the immensely popular candidate Obama, “you’re not Jesus Christ you know” as though Barack had a crisis of identity or just needed to hear that. I wonder if Brother West thinks that if Christ did choose to come back in the form of his choosing, that he’s somehow obligated inform him (West) first? Did Cornel West take the time to inform George W. Bush that he wasn’t God or Hillary that she wasn’t the Queen Mother? Did he pull his boy, Bill Clinton’s coat and break the news to him that he wasn’t really the first Black President. If not then why did he think he just had to rain on the brother’s parade on his way to greatness?

     

    Over the past few months West, Tavis Smiley, Jessie Jackson and others got a kick out of talking about all this brother “aint” and what he aint doing or saying. I submit that Barack Obama aint a lot of things. He aint doing and saying even a lot more; which leaves plenty for somebody else to do. (Any volunteers from the hater’s committee? I didn’t think so.)   

     

    Whatever this brother aint, what he is, is pretty remarkable as is what he’s already done. Right now we should celebrate that and not be in such a big rush to tear him down and place more pressure on him than he already has. Let’s wait and see.   

     

    President elect Obama professes to be a Christian which is suppose to mean that he strives to be Christ like. If he chooses to think that he’s enough like Christ to stand in for him; God help the brother if it’s working for him. ( and it seems to be working) We should encourage him and let Christ take care of the issue of Identity theft if that is indeed the case.

     

    As a people, there are plenty of others who will challenge us and Obama and tell us who we are and who we “aint”. We don’t need each other to punch holes in our sails as we struggle to get off the ground.  We should allow ourselves whatever audacity and boldness necessary to overcome.

     

                All I have to say is; “whoever” the hell this brother, Barack Obama, thought he was, to stand his unknown Black a*# up and not just say but “Believe” against all odds- he could be the President of the United States of America/ the most powerful man on Earth, and go do it; then I say more power to him.

     

    Maybe we all should all take up Christ’s cross, put a big smile on our face and go out and do great historic things. But know this, there will be those among you who will both betray and deny you for the price of a published book deal or TV show.  (aka: a few pieces of silver)Thus is the lot of Christ.

• Common Sense vs Intelligence

  • From: goldfingers
  • Description:

    In a three-way conversation between Tavis Smiley, Dr. Michael Dyson and Dr. Cornel West on the justification of blacks using the n-word, the following ideas were exchanged during the discourse:  

     

    Tavis Smiley: “With all due respect to the power of your persuasive argument, your big mama and my big mama would stand here in front of you with all of your education and say you still ain’t got no business, under no circumstances whatsoever, ever uttering that word white folks put on us to demean us—period.”  

     

    Dr. Dyson: “There’s no question about that…but my pastor and others who would say [it]—referring to their congregation and their flocks who are highly learned, deeply erudite, profoundly scholarly, and who are able to understand both the folk and the vernacular tradition on one hand and the high learning foremost tradition on the other, [said] the word in an endearing fashion.”    

     

    It appears as though an attempt is being made to soften the use and encourage acceptance of the n-word because more affluent, educated, and outwardly intelligent African American audiences claim to understand and accept the word. Thus, since these intelligentsias have placed their blessing on using the word, referring to one another as the n-word should be an acceptable practice by all African Americans—regardless of socioeconomic status.

     

    However, the basis of this argument stands on a couple of fallacies: Many other equally affluent, educated and intelligent African Americans despise the term, disallow themselves to be referred to as such, and have eradicated the idiom from their vocabulary.   As well, during the conversation of these highly esteemed gentlemen, those arguing for the n-word failed to consider an extremely significant factor that greatly affects the soundness of their argument: common sense.  

     

    Given the past history of African Americans and the n-word, plain old common sense, which is defined as sound or practical judgment, suggests that it is not intuitively sensible for an African American to accept this word, drenched in ignorance, evil, immorality and corruption.  Even with a high level of intelligence—the capacity for thought especially to a high degree, common sense must factor into the equation because it is the essential, instinctual element in developing one’s first thought about a subject.

     

    Intelligence soon follows this initial thought, serves only as support to the common knowledge and should help individuals reason with why the n-word is unacceptable: The n-word was bestowed upon African Americas by slave masters, and represents every devious plot meant to destroy the black race; thus, is unacceptable.  It is bewildering how individuals of such high levels of thought are blind to the insult that lies in the term.  And even more perplexing is the fact that they argue in favor of using the term—and in an affectionate manner!

     

    African Americans are so quick to shun other races for using the term, and demand total equality and respect.   But how can one demand respect when they have no respect for themselves?  One of the most prevalent drawbacks regarding the supposed desensitizing of the n-word among African Americans is that it is not a global or cross-cultural movement; the rest of human civilization recognizes the true purpose in and foundation of the word.  The rest of the world indeed respects Black America for its musical, entertainment, and athletic abilities, but have absolutely no respect for our cerebral mindset.

     

    This is due in part to the fact that African Americans continue to refer to themselves as a thing that was and is meant to dehumanize the race.   Although many proponents of the n-word feel that their use and definition of the term differs from other races’ application and understanding, outside races only see the stigma attached to the term and, thus, perpetuate any thoughts of African Americans with that particular perception.   Their thinking is such that if a person refers to themselves as a certain thing, they will embody that image and act as such.  And because a “n**ger” was viewed as a sub-human, bestial and savage, other races neglect to respect and treat African American as equals, immediately become defensive toward African Americans, and continually ridicule the race—the true persona of the n-word.

    Consider most recently Beijing, China, where attempts were made to ban blacks from Beijing bars in a pre-Olympic crackdown.   In addition, Milo Bryant of the “Colorado Springs Gazette,” a black reporter, was all but ignored during press conferences by Chinese officials who refused to acknowledge his presence and would only solicit questions from white reporters. 

     

    Another put down of Blacks occurred in 2005 when Mexico had the audacity to print caricatures of Blacks on their postage stamps.

     

    Countless incidences of condescending Blacks occur around the world—even in America.  However, the most catastrophic and mind boggling of these incidences occurs right here in America by Black America.   The Black community has proven to be very tolerable of anything destructive, degrading and demeaning from within.   The poisonous lyrics of misogyny, crime, drugs; the glorification of ‘gangsta’ life and violence perpetuated by black rappers; and the use of the n-word are all self-destructive acts that contribute greatly to the demise and unfavorable image of the black community.   The rest of the civilized world looks on in amazement, taking note, and heeding the messages sent about Black America from Black America—“straight out of the horse’s mouth.”   No one takes the African American seriously.  No wonder!

     

    Dr. Dyson emphasized the linguistic creativeness of the younger generations’ use of the word, changing the suffix from “-er” to “-a”; however, changing the suffix does not transform the meaning of the term. (Pronouncing the word with an “-a” at the end is quite frankly nothing more than plain, old-fashion ghetto vernacular.)   Where else in the world does a race of people take a word—that embodied mental genocide and perpetuated physical brutality upon their ancestors—and embrace it affectionately and endearingly?   What other race of people devises justification after justification to continue to remain shackled, confined to a certain realm, and proudly flaunts the mark of oppression, degradation?

     

    It is definitely the black community’s prerogative to demand respect, but good luck getting it collectively!   In the end, African Americans are still referring to themselves as “n**ger”—or in more modern terms, “n**ga,” deafening others’ ears to Black America’s cry for respect.

     

    In WEB Du Bois’ all-time, modernly-relevant classic The Souls of Black Folks, Du Bois notes that “[t]he opposition to Negro education in the South was at first bitter, and showed itself in ashes, insult, and blood; for the South believed an educated Negro to be dangerous.”   Then Dr. Carter G. Woodson came along in 1933 and said in The Mis-Education of the Negro: Control a man’s mind and you don’t have to worry about his actions.

     

    Although one may be highly educated in the educational system, or mis-educated according to Dr. Woodson, one can still be a dependent or controlled thinker.  Obtaining an education was once thought of as the key to release African Americans from mental enslavement.  Education unquestionably serves as the essential building block in unlocking one’s mind, and teaching an individual the basic fundamentals of reading and writing, but independent thought allows one to break the chains of ignorance and enter a state of heightened mind power where common sense always resides at the right side of intelligence.

     

    At the end of the conversation, it was duly noted that the n-word was used in jest, as was also the case between Tavis and the rapper Nas in a separate conversation on the same subject. But who’s being mocked?   White slave masters for embedding in African Americans a self-destructive mentality rooted so deeply that it goes unnoticed even by African Americans who continue to carryout the plight?   Or are African Americans mocking the memories, struggles and sacrifices of ascendants who knew the intent of the term and literally felt its purpose through heinous acts during the “domestication” process?   Certainly, no amusement was experienced in the atrocities perpetrated upon them, all in the name of the n-word.

     

    In 1904, black sharecroppers Luther Holbert and his wife were chained to a tree. An audience of 600 white spectators enjoyed fine treats such as deviled eggs, lemonade and whiskey in a festive atmosphere while Mr. and Mrs. Holbert underwent atrocious and purely evil acts: first their fingers were chopped off one by one, then their ears, followed by a severe beating that left Mr. Holbert with one eye dangling from its fractured socket; next, "spirals...of raw, quivering flesh" were extracted from both Holberts with a corkscrew before the couple was finally burned alive.   As they drew on their last breaths, the last words they heard were the jeers of “n**ger, n**ger, n**ger.”

     

    All of these activities perpetuated upon the Holberts were done in the name of the n-word.  The most ironic part of the matter, though, is that at least one person who condones, tolerates, and embraces the n-word is a descendant of Mr. and Mrs.Holbert; thus, this proponent of the n-word agrees with the malevolent acts perpetuated upon his great, great grandma and grandpa.   Is that person you?   Is that person your friend, family member, or acquaintance?

     

    Perhaps one can intelligently justify acceptance of the 300-year-old African-American Holocaust, the n-word, and the supposed progress of Black America beyond allowing the n-word to negatively affect them.   But, just because one is highly educated and can precisely articulate his argument does not make him right or smart by any standard—he just knows how to talk well and conduct research.

     

    Common sense, which does not discriminate based on educational attainments, tells African Americans that embracing the n-word affectionately and endearingly “just ain’t right and don’t make no kind of sense.”  The n-word should continue to be looked upon as a disfigurement to the African-American’s psyche and buried as far below the surface as those who lived to experience the true meaning of “n*gger.”

• Tavis Hosts Hater's Party

  • From: thomastaylor
  • Description:

    Tavis Smiley hosts Haters Party

    By Thomas N. Taylor

    If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it. Tavis Smiley, an intelligent and once thought conscious Blackman with a world wide platform was on national TV coming from the floor of the historic 2008 Democratic convention hosting a hater’s party and serving generous portions of hater-aide with special guest, Drs Cornell West and Julianne Malveaux. They were all so animated and drunk on the stuff it was dispicable.

    I’m really floored and disappointed because I’m still a fan of Tavis and gave him the benefit of the doubt in his rift with the Black Obama-nation. He had a good chance of redeeming himself by saying nothing at all, since he had nothing good to say about Senator Obama; but there he was unashamed and unapologetically wielding that bitter chastening rod still trying to force his own agenda on a man who clearly has demonstrated he knows what the hell he’s doing.

    The bitter trio of West, Malveaux &Smiley said that they were “extremely disappointed” in Barack’s speech because he failed to talk about traditional Black stuff or acknowledge the roll history played in his getting to this point. They castigated him for not mentioning Dr King by name but instead relegating him to “A southern Baptist preacher.’ They praised Hillary Clinton for boldly invoking the name and words of Harriet Tubman. They were overjoyed by the presentation of Bill, race card playing, Clinton but they were “disappointed” in the history making man of the hour who risk assassination and loss of privacy and life as he knew it for himself and his family, to make it all possible.

    If you want a real wake up call; trying calling the white agent that represents any ot these three finger pointers and ask how much it would cost for either one of them to show up at your business affair, church or graduation to tell you how much they owe to the King legacy? Dr. King wouldn't charge you a dime. That's why he died broke. Check out the hourly fee rate for Tavis or West, then we can talk. (lest I digress)

    I was disappointed because what I thought were three intelligent insightful people; were blinded by jealous ego and failed to see the big picture but settled instead on concentrating on a small section of a brilliant portrait. The entire convention was Barack’s masterful thesis. Who do they think influenced and approved the musical faire? Who do they think OK’d Dr. Kings Children to speak along with John Lewis, the lone surviving speaker of that historic march on Washington? Who approved the video tribute to Dr. King? The entire day was a tribute to Dr. King's legacy but the final leg of this 4X4, four night race was ran brilliantly by Mr. Obama who took the baton and ran off into future history. He spoke boldly of "Marching" forward which doesn’t mean he’s not looking back; just not dwelling on it. And don't think that the use of the word marching was not without consciousness or intention. It's too bad that some of us can't appreciate this man's subtlety or fail to have patience with his pacing and timing as his race continues to unfold. Pay attention bitter people for a picture is more valuable than a thousand words. Can you see our guy out in front? Let us not be the instuments of his undoing and trip him up.

    With all that’s at stake we all need to stay focused on the immediate future. Barack Obama’s goal was not to get to the political playoffs but to be President and win the championship. He’s going for the gold. This is no the time for victory speeches praising those who came before him. The job is not yet finished and the best way for him to pay the ultimate tribute to Dr. King and those who preceded us is not talk about it but be about it. Not quote Dr. King but be like Dr. King and live to update the dream.

    The bitter trinity said that they liked all of the other statements that were made at Barack Obama’s party. The statements made by those who themselves had similar parties: John Kerry, Al Gore’s and Bill Clinton. But it was at Barack Obama’s party where these statements were made and possible, not theirs. Why do you think that is Bitter Three? The entire day was one enormous statement. Barack made sure that Dr. King's legacy had been well serviced before he took the floor. His part of the night was a different piece of the puzzle.

    In the science and art of today's visual media, it's not what you say that counts most but what you see that ultimately carrys the greater impact. It's like people who always quote the bible and invoke the name of Christ, yet on any given day you'd be hard pressed to find a trace of evidence of either exhibited anywhere in their lives. If we can be about King's legacy we wouldn't have to talk about it so much because the proof would be in the pudding since Success leaves its own evidence.

    Barack Obama is running for president of these United States. He has a strategic plan and he’s working it. (very well thank you) Don’t hate. Let’s work hard and celebrate while we keep our eyes on the ultimate prize.

    Meanwhile; my family and I will be forwarding our condolences to Brother Tavis and those consumed by hate and envy of Barack Obama's success void of their blessings; for it is written that jealousy is crueler than the grave. Let us pray. Our father...

• What About the Black Community

  • From: percyb03
  • Description:

    “Teacher” I agree with you 100%. Let me make it perfectly clear, I look forward to seeing a Black person become the primary resident of the white house; but at what cost? “Teacher” I’ve been having this very same conversation with so many Black folk prior to and since I first saw the Florida incident.

    Are we loosing our souls just to get a Black person in the white house? Why was Tavis Smiley tarred and feather for doing what he’s done during every recent past election? Tavis has always asked the tough questions and set a bar for our elected officials to address our concerns. Why didn’t Mr. Obama attend the King dedications and celebrations in Memphis? Why did Mr. Obama denounce Rev. Wright knowing that the media simply picked and chose small segments of his sermons? Does he plan on returning to that church after he is elected? Why don’t the majority of us know about Mr. Obama’s positions on various Black concerns? Is it because he hasn’t done it the “way we want him to make it known?” Do you have to buy and read all of his books in order to know what he has done? I can’t remember any presidential candidate pushing their literary writing before being president in order to let folk know what they’ve done. Why hasn’t Mr. Obama spent some of his record setting campaign funds with the Black media outlets? I listen to and watch Black media all day long and I subscribe to a number of Black publications and I have yet to see or hear an Obama commercial or see an ad in any of them. But, during the primary elections Mr. Obama received a ton of “FREE advertising on Black radio simply by making an appearance on various shows. Just imagine for a moment the magnitude of a message that would be perceived by Black communities if Mr. Obama spent moneys back in the Black community. Is he perpetuating the same old adage of seeing our moneys leave our communities to never return? Or is he taking the Black vote for granted?

    Why are so many Black people concerned of Mr. Obama’s Black image and perception of being too Black? Why isn’t Black issues being asked of Mr. Obama? Yes, I get the same answer too; “because he can’t seem to be too Black because he has to appeal to all Americans. The last time I checked I was born, raised and pay taxes in America. I don’t get it. Why is he getting a PASS from Black media outlets, Black leaders, Black political strategists, Black barber shops and beauty salons? Is it really because we have to get him elected first? If this is the strategy; when should we expect him to address our issues?

    · Crack v. Powder Cocaine (thanks to Ronald Reagan) that has placed too many young Black folk in prison for too many years?

    · Unequal education levels among inner city schools?

    · Corruptness among Black churches that are preying on its members just to have big “A” houses and cars as its members suffer to keep food on their tables?

    · When should we expect him to address why there are so many money laundering “pay day” stores in Black communities?

    These are some of the issues that every past democratic nominee has been asked at this point in the campaign. Why is he getting a pass? One radio host says “it is a game.” Well let us know the players, rules, strategy and objective. The latter I assume is to get him to Pennsylvania Ave., but we must be very, very careful because of two things.

    1. He is a politician

    2. He owes a lot of people

    If the strategy is to really get him elected first, is this a strategy that has worked? I presume that is another conversation.

    I’m not one to rely on the government to solve all issues, but as a tax payer it is only reasonable to expect an elected official to address the concerns of those that casts votes!

    Teacher, thank you bringing this avoided topic to the surface.

• Courageous Commentary

  • From: sistahblog
  • Description:

    I sat up an hour last night and wrote commentary on how important it is to have a person who could speak up and out, for or against the plight of our people. I was speaking in relation to the replacement for Tavis and commented on how I wanted to be that person, but had possibly missed out on the opportunity. I crafted my words well and made them thought-provoking and attention-getting. When I logged on today, the blog wasn't there. That could be for several reasons, however, it just may not be my time....But the question is, If not now, when? For years, we have struggled with the naysayers trying to prove that we are worthy of a second look, a second chance, glance, hell, a second, period. We have accepted the judgement of society and the supposed movers and shakers who decide who comes, goes, and is worthy of staying once they get in. No matter how good our best foot forward is, someone is there to say our toes are not in line with the majority. But then that begs the question of, who is the majority? While someone was sleeping, we have moved up a notch on the scale of life and have become major players in all facets of life, not just sports. Not only does society now realize that we have more than drug money to contribute to the national economy, but we also have opinions and desires to live better and see the fruits of our labor! Yes, I said it! We have labored intensely for years while not receiving credit for the vast foundations we have built and the progress that we have made, not just as black people, but as citizens of this country. While we are yet 'nitpickin one another with pity-pat arguments, the world is standing back, watching and waiting for us to be the cause of our own demise. We couldn't afford to let it happen before, and we can ill-afford to do it now! Let's treat this 15 minutes of fame as if it's our last chance, last dance, last breath that we are receiving at this time, and let's give the world a run for its (our) money! If in the end we don't achieve our desired destination, we will rest better knowing that someone knows that we are no longer passively waiting for someone to tell us that it is our time, when we already know what time it is!!

• Jeff Johnson as next after Tav

  • From: hbqtlivl
  • Description:

    Without a doubt it seems that only one person comes to mind as a person with all of the qualities you ask for and more. Whether it's enlightening people through his rich and captivating talks, or mobilizing young people to give up their spring breaks to volunteer in the lower 9th after Hurricane Katrina, there are few who's net can cast as wide or who's hook can go as deep.

    Obviously Tavis Smiley is someone who can not be replaced, nor is his a role that can be refilled. Perhaps the question is more like, what's the next phase and who's going to bring that new dynamic? Jeff. It's as simply as that. He has spent years within our community bringing us empowering messages, informing us through commentary, inspiring us through causes, and posing the pertinent questions to our leaders.

    He's it. Anyone who's seen this man in action, or has heard what he has to say, knows exactly what I'm talking about. He also brings with him an incredibley diverse and excited sea of young people who've been with him since start on BET and who may be an entirely fresh group of listeners for Tom Joyner as they follow Jeff in waves to the show.

• why i am ready to be ricardo a

  • From: findu2go
  • Description:

    I have seen the troubles in american life, motivated by a desire to overcome them. My view, abstract in the contrasting realities , funny it's been touched on, seldom lived is my story. yes, I am ready to tell it like it is, explain how it could've been better, and as Dr. Martin L. KIng has said so many times"We as a people will overcome". This overcome is not free. The cost is borne in the experiences of an education that daily living brings. The hopes, the joys , adversities...etc. All these combine or conspire to create who you are what you are, and where you would like to go. Our vehicles for reaching these endeavors are as diverse as we are. These are the messages I would like to recite and expound on.

    My humble beginnings are painful, shockingly true for the survivor I've become. Yet, it is a story in a life that has lived through many ordeals that put to end many a promising life. The book is still being written. Maybe I should be an author, but my aim is to inspire. I've run, with the worst society has to offer, but paradoxically, I've been accepted by the normal . A change so radical even I am truly amazed. So let me interject: my GOD is an awesome GOD! Not so much of what I was, but in the realization that I am blessed. A light in a sea of living candles, blown by the tumultus winds of life. Somehow, all these experiences have defined me , mocking the enemies of a purported past that should have been, into the person I am now.

    So, yes !, I am ready, not so much to be Smiley , as I am to be the person experience has created. Within lies knowledge waiting to be expressed, shared , and hopefully learned from. A person who grew when floundering would suffice, continued as others gave in, obtained from reticent misgivings of others. And, if I may paraphrase from a word Paul spoke, " I am all things to all people that some might be saved". So yes! I have a need to speak, a wonton desire that exudes, not so much in confidence, as in the learned knowledge that a history not appreciated is a history soon repeated.

    I'm ready...its time America. To hear reveal , and most importantly to heal.

    I know that Tavis is an intellectual who challenges us on every topic and I think that his replacement should be similar in his social, political and intellectual challenges to your audience. I think that Mayor Cory Booker of Newark, New Jersey would be an excellent replacement for Tavis. I have heard Mayor Booker speak on several occasions and he is engaging. Please consider him; he would be a great asset for your listeners who are not familiar with him.

• TheFlyJock's Blog: Are You Our

  • From: TheFlyJock
  • Description:

    While everyone is wondering and worrying about who’s on the short list to become Barack Obama’s running mate, I’m busy with a list of my own — not for a running mate, but a replacement for Tavis. The time has come for him to move on, and, as I said in my blog a while back, trying to replace Tavis would be like trying to replace a family member. You can’t do it. So, what we’re trying to actually find is another commentator who will inform, enlighten and empower us twice a week on the TJMS.

    When Tavis first announced he was leaving, I got lots of phone calls and e-mails from people either asking for his job or letting me know about someone who they thought should have the job. Many of them were people you’ve heard of who were already in the business of doing commentaries either on TV, radio or in print. I got a lot of suggestions from you all too, and one thing was loud and clear: You all told me that you didn’t want a Tavis “clone.” You didn’t necessarily want another male, and you wanted someone who would really make you think. Most importantly, you let us know you didn’t want to hear more from the same old people you can hear from everywhere else — the go-to black people that CNN, Fox and MSNBC have discovered. That’s when it occurred to us that there is someone out there who doesn’t have an audience but has a lot of important things to say. When I say he or she doesn’t have an audience, I mean a TV, radio or newspaper audience. His or her audience is a spouse, church members, the PTA, the barbershop, the beauty shop and maybe even a former cell mate. The point is, we want a fresh voice with fresh ideas.

    It could be or someone you know.

    I knew the day was coming, and I’m excited. As Tavis exits our show, he leaves a huge space to be filled. But he, better than anybody, recognizes the beauty in giving someone else the opportunity to talk to 8 million people for a couple of minutes twice a week. When he first began doing commentaries back in Los Angeles, Tavis was just a young man who had lot to say and not a lot of time to say it. Back then, there was no such thing as a black syndicated radio program, and he couldn’t imagined that he would some day have the impact he had on so many. I know there’s someone out there waiting for his or her chance to become part of the TJMS family. He or she has huge headphones to fill.
    
    J. loves to tease Tavis when he goes on vacation by saying the time-off isn’t deserved because Tavis’ commentaries add up to working 10 minutes a week. Whoever dares to step into that time slot will discover there’s nothing further from the truth. I just have one simple question: Is it you?
