Obama Responds to Jesse Jackson and will continue to speak strong towards black people. Also be sure to check Obama out on Larry King Live tonight

By now I’m sure you’ve heard the comments made by Jesse Jackson on Sen. Barack Obama, if not, here is what he said “See, Barack been, um…talking down to black people on this faith based…I wanna cut his nuts off. Barack, he’s talking down to black people” Well Mr. Jackson **clears throat** why don’t you look around? See the urban hoods around America, Obama isn’t talking down to blacks he’s telling them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. We’ve been lead in the wrong direction for far too long. From Twana Brawley to kids out of wedlock, and finally someone is leading us in the right direction and telling us how to ball in this God forsaken country, dear Reverend. I can only imagine what your son has to think about you, having to grow up with a dad who is no longer respected by the majority of black folks (the Clinton’s included) as a credible voice for the community. Well here is what your own son had to say about you wanting to cut the n*ts off another man.

MSNBC is reporting Jackson even took heat from his own son, U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. who wrote a response to his father’s comments. “You’re wrong on Obama, Dad.” Jackson Jr. said  “I’m deeply outraged and disappointed in Rev. Jackson’s reckless statements about Sen. Barack Obama. His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee — and I believe the next president of the United States — contradict his inspiring and courageous career.“

Rev. Jackson hating is not a good look in 2008, but having haters is a great look. In the words of Kat Williams, I’m trying to get 15 more haters by the end of July. So in closing I say let the Chicago Reverends keep hating on Obama, it’s good for business.

Neck twirls, finger snaps, cuss words, rolling eyes and ripped out tracks of yaki weave on the ground are all sign that an angry black woman is in the area. The media portrays black women in the worst light. A quick glance at the evening news and your guaranteed to see at least one toothless dark skinned woman within the first 10 minutes.

I used to think that these images of black women on the news were due to all the sane black women with teeth actually having jobs and not being able to witness crime at 2 in the afternoon. However I am sadly mistaken. These days if you’re not buying a woman a drink, or being told that she can buy her own damn drink then 9 times out of ten you’re going to get some neck twirls, finger snaps, cuss words, and a SMCH [official definition - the act of sucking ones teeth in utter disgust.]

Sadly, the reality of today is that these women are still pissed Raheem

• left her angry ass for Becky
• used her for a pair of Jordan’s, a ride to probation, a Lil Wayne CD & 3 Quickies
• never pays her any attention, but drools at her best friends enormous boobs
• is more in love with No Job Having Quisha and her 4 kids than her and her ivy league education

Some of those reasons may not apply to certain black women, another woman might simply be pissed off that she whored her self out for 24 years and all she has to show for it are 2 cured std’s, a stretched out coochie and a neat trick she can do with her tongue.

Now surely in no way do I believe all black women are angry b–ches and we’ll all be kidding ourselves if we try to pretend that there aren’t a few angry black b–ches out there, messing it up for all the real black queens. I believe Whoopi Goldberg said (more…)

With all this talk about Barack & Michelle Obama’s pound/Dap/Fist Bump why didn’t they call this a terrorist Chest Jab? This scares me much more than that fist bump. Leave your best caption for this picture.

Clara Luper started the civil rights battle in Oklahoma and in 1958 she led the first “sit-in” in the United States and succeeded in integrating public facilities in Oklahoma. In august when Obama accepts the nomination for president it would be the 50th anniversary of the nations first sit in. How fitting, Luper recently said “It was my daughter Marilyn’s idea,” as she sat in her eastside home with her son Calvin. Calvin Luper was 12 years old. His sister Marilyn was a year younger. Portwood Williams Jr. was 15. Donda West — mother of Kanye West — was barely 5. There were 11 other children as well.

It was the first and longest sit-in protest of the civil rights movement. Momentum grew quickly. Two days later, the children numbered 34. Days later, there were 66 youths involved. Within weeks, that eating establishment was successfully desegregated.

For the next three years, the group expanded to numerous others throughout the state’s capital city. Source

It all started when she took the kids to perform a play ironically called Brother President: The Story of Dr. Martin Luther King, in NY. On there way up the bus driver took the northern route showing the kids integrated cities and towns. On the way home they stopped at placed that practiced segregation. They started seeing signs for COLORED ONLY and the hunger pains of a long ride kicked in.

Calvin Luper said. “Then Marilyn suggested that she go into Katz Drug Store and order a Coca-Cola.

“We had no idea it was going to go national. All we were thinking about at the time was a hamburger and a Coca-Cola.”

It is these stories of young people who didn’t know any better, who were just fed up that changed a world. 5 dollar gas, 4 dollar milk, and pay checks that are too small to pay all of your bills. The time for change is now. I believe Obama is the candidate for this change. I am trying to raise 2008 dollars for his campaign if you can donate anything, a dollar, 5 dollars or ten dollars it will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

One would think this photo is from the 1950’s but it’s not. On November 25, 1969, some 2,000 students boycotted their classes and marched down University Avenue to a rally outside the offices of the Alachua County School Board to have the all black school known as Lincoln High integrated. You see even though Brown vs. Board of Ed went down in 1954 this Florida county still had not fully integrated their school. Instead they practiced an informal policy of “tokenism” — whereby a few black students attended predominantly white schools.

In January 1970, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered Alachua County to fully integrate the schools immediately. The schools closed on Jan. 29, 1970, reopened a week later, on Feb. 7, they were integrated. The black high school, Lincoln High School, was closed, and about 1,000 black students were transfered to the 2,200-student Gainesville High School. Source

One boy now an adult told the Washington Post of his experience going to a newly integrated school (more…)

On June 21, 1949 in St. Louis MO, a bunch of black youths went for the first swim in a newly integrated pool. No violence happened to the children while they were swam but as they cooled off from the hot summer’s sun a MOB of whites gathered around the gates of the pool. Upon the blacks exit, the Fairground Riots began.

In 1949 there were 9 pools in St. Louis, 3 Indoor pools for Negro’s 4 for whites and another 2 outdoor pools for whites only. Until a reporter asked the city’s welfare director, John J. O’Toole, “whether Negroes could be allowed to swim in all the city’s public pools,” as “there was no law saying they couldn’t.” O’Toole replied: “If the colored people apply for admittance, my order is to admit them. I am not going to be a party to an unlawful gentleman’s agreement.” He used the phrase, gentleman’s agreement, to describe the tradition of segregation that the commissioner seemed to endorse.

When the Black children arrived at the pool that morning the whites entered the locker room and turned back around. That’s how the Mob of angry whites grew outside of the pool. They shouted racial slurs and made threats. After the pool closed the police had to come and escort the black children home. But Time Magazine reported

. . . all that afternoon, fist fights blazed up; Negro boys were chased and beaten by white gangs. In the gathering dusk, one grown-up rabble-rouser spoke out. “Want to know how to take care of those niggers?” he shouted. “Get bricks. Smash their
heads. . . .”

The crowd cornered two terror-stricken Negro boys against a fence. Under a volley of fists, clubs and stones, the boys went down—but not before one of them had whipped out a knife and stabbed one of his attackers. In the surge of fury the nearest whites kicked and pummeled the two prostrate bodies, turned angrily on rescuing police with shouts of “nigger-lover.”

The story of these riots goes on to lead to ten African Americans and five whites had been hospitalized. But it’s stories like this and many more like it, filled with hate, pride, and strength that Americans have over come. Yet many are still wading through this hate. Obama’s candidacy is one of the final steps we have to take to help heal America’s old wounds.
