Now Sen.Harry Reid pushed for a $15 billion do nothing jobs bill Monday by suggesting that unemployed men are more likely to abuse their wives. “Men when they're out of work tend to become abusive,” Reid said as he argued in favor of a cloture vote on the jobs bill. “I met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand. Why? Men don't have jobs. Women don't have jobs either, but women aren’t abusive, most of the time. Men, when they're out of work, tend to become abusive. Our domestic crisis shelters in Nevada are jammed.” Have you noticed the three blind mice that met with Obama, from the NAACP, Urban Laegue and Al Sharpton, along with the stupid Congressional black Caucus have largely remained quiet as the Senate considered the bill. As reported by WaPo, Some civil rights advocates outside Congress say the caucus is wary of too publicly declaring itself opposed to a bill that doesn't include its desired provisions, not wanting to create another dispute between lawmakers and the nation's first black president. WHATEVER! Are they in Congress to serve their districts or the President? As reported by The Washington Post, When the caucus called last year for specific job provisions for blacks and others in low-income communities, President Obama publicly distanced himself from the idea, saying the federal government must focus on programs that will aid all instead of targeting specific groups.

While the KKK conducted a “lynching war” on blacks in the American South, Gardner charged that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and her allies were devising an “evil plan” to enforce what Sanger called “race hygiene.” In a 1922 book the birth control activist called for the elimination of “human weeds,” the segregation of “morons, misfits and maladjusted” and for the sterilization of “genetically inferior races.” According to Gardner, Sanger associated with known racists and was the guest speaker at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Silverlake, New Jersey in 1926. In 1939, Sanger launched the Negro Project. Gardner claimed this effort planned to “get rid of black people” by limiting their population growth with abortion and sterilization. She also charged that Sanger sought to use the clergy and charismatic members of the black community to advance her cause in a form of “ethnic cleansing.” Let's talk about this tonight, on the slugfest, "If You can Handle the Truth." 02:00:00AAPolitical SlugfestnoAbortion,Ethnic Cleansing,Abortion Rights,Human Rights,BlacksDay Gardner of the National Black Pro-Life Union has said that during Black History Month Americans should acknowledge abortion’s disproportionate impact on blahttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/africanamericanpoliticalpundit/2010/02/17/blacks-vs-immigrants-are-blacks-lazyPolitics Progressivehttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/africanamericanpoliticalpundit/2010/02/17/blacks-vs-immigrants-are-blacks-lazy/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/africanamericanpoliticalpundit/2010/02/17/blacks-vs-immigrants-are-blacks-lazyWed, 17 Feb 2010 04:30:00 GMTBlacks Vs Immigrants: Are Blacks Lazy?Why Do Black Immigrants Do Better Than Native Blacks?

Education Secretary Arne Duncan called Hurricane Katrina "the best thing that happened to the education system in New Orleans" because it forced the community to take steps to improve low-performing public schools, according to excerpts from a television interview made public Friday. Yes, he did say it. As reported in The Washington Post, Duncan's interview on "Washington Watch With Roland Martin" was scheduled to air Sunday on TV One. I guess we need Hurricane Katrina's in every state of the union as far as this color aroused bigot is concerned. The excerpts quoted an exchange between Duncan and Martin about the effect of the 2005 hurricane on the city's schools. Martin was quoted as saying: "What's amazing is New Orleans was devastated because of Hurricane Katrina, but because everything was wiped out, in essence, you are building from ground zero to change the dynamics of education in that city." Duncan was quoted as replying: "It's a fascinating one. I spent a lot of time in New Orleans, and this is a tough thing to say, but let me be really honest. I think the best thing that happened to the education system in New Orleans was Hurricane Katrina. That education system was a disaster, and it took Hurricane Katrina to wake up the community to say that 'we have to do better.' And the progress that they've made in four years since the hurricane is unbelievable. They have a chance to create a phenomenal school district. Long way to go, but that -- that city was not serious about its education. Those children were being desperately underserved prior, and the amount of progress and the amount of reform we've seen in a short amount of time has been absolutely amazing."

The NY Times has an interesting article about color aroused whites who consider themselves liberal supporters of Baraack Obama. The article looks at five words spoken by a news commentator. Five little words -- ''I forgot he was black'' -- have exposed a contradiction in the idea of a post-racial nation. The comment came from MSNBC host Chris Matthews after President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech Wednesday. ''He is post-racial, by all appearances,'' the liberal host said on the air. ''I forgot he was black tonight for an hour. You know, he's gone a long way to become a leader of this country, and past so much history, in just a year or two. I mean, it's something we don't even think about.'' Asreported in the NY Times, The staunch Obama supporter meant it as praise, but it caused a rapid furor, with many calling the quote a troubling sign that blackness is viewed -- perhaps unconsciously -- as a handicap that still needs to be overcome.

On Saturday, Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said the government had already disposed of 20,000 bodies in mass graves. The government is making little attempt to chronicle the victims. After dropping off his load, a driver of one of the dump trucks said there was no attempt to identify the bodies. "We just collect them like this," he said, pointing to the back of his truck. The disposal of the bodies will complicate matters for Haitians seeking news about loved ones. And it may make an exact final tally of the dead more difficult. But government officials say the bodies could spread disease. "Our first concern has to be the living and not the dead," said Gabriel Verret, an economic adviser to the president. "We don't have a hangar with refrigeration with capacity to hold the bodies." Many Haitians backed the government decision. One reason: the stench of decomposing corpses fills many streets in the capital. How can George W. Bush help? How can Bill Clinton help?

The response has equaled George W Bush's response to Katrina thus far. Although naval ships steamed south and flights began shuttling search-and-rescue teams to dig through rubble in Port-au-Prince no American boots are on the ground thus far. As reported by the Washington Post, military aircraft flew over the island, mapping the destruction, while U.S. officials coordinated the efforts of non-governmental aid agencies. Coast Guard helicopters began flying seriously wounded Americans from the island nation's U.S. Embassy to the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba., about 200 miles away.

In interviews this week with media outlets targeted at the black community, he defended both his record and his connection to the community against accusations that he is taking black voters for granted. Recently members of the Congressional Black Caucus have said his administration and Congressional leaders are not doing enough to target aid to the black community, which has higher levels of unemployment than others. Nationally, unemployment stands at 10 percent, but 15.6 percent of blacks are jobless. Obama said he is doing what he can, and on Monday told April Ryan of American Urban Radio Networks that "this notion, somehow, that because there wasn't a transformation overnight that we've been neglectful is just simply, factually not accurate." In a Tuesday phone interview with syndicated radio host Tom Joyner, Obama added: "One of the things about being part of the African American community is that no matter how well you do, you know there's somebody in your family that's still hurting because we're not that far away from the neighborhood. And people need to know that I carry their stories with me whenever I come into the Oval Office." Let's talk about this tonight at 11:00 PM, on late night political slugfest...

This according to Peter Whoriskey at the Washington Post. he writes, The shortfalls are putting pressure on governments to either raise taxes or shrink the aid payments. Debates over the state benefit programs have erupted in South Carolina, Nevada, Kansas, Vermont and Indiana. And the budget gaps are expected to spread and become more acute in the coming year, compelling legislators in many states to reconsider their operations.

From the cradle to the grave, African-Americans have poorer health outcomes: African-American infant mortality is more than double that of whites; African-American women make up 70 percent of new HIV/AIDS infections; three times as many black Americans die from diabetes as white Americans; and the life expectancy for whites is 78 years, compared with 73 years for all African-Americans and less than 70 years for African-American males. There is a correlation between health outcomes and health coverage. Black Americans are uninsured at more than 1?1/2 times the rate of white Americans. Though over 80 percent of blacks live in working families, only 53 percent of black Americans have employer-sponsored health insurance, compared with 73 percent of white Americans. Given the climate for health care reform, it's time for the African-American community to cash the check promised to us. Is this reparations? Is it that easy?

That was a great question made by, Alexander Cockburn a number of months ago. Now we know the answer. Not long. Now after months of debate, President Barack Obama has spelled out a costly Afghanistan war expansion to a skeptical public Tuesday night, coupling an infusion of as many as 35,000 more troops with a vow that there will be no endless U.S. commitment. As reported by MSNBC, His first orders have already been made: at least one group of Marines who will be in place by Christmas. Obama has said that he prefers "not to hand off anything to the next president" and that his strategy will "put us on a path toward ending the war." The fact of the matter is Obama campaigned on a pledge to 'decapitate' al-Qaeda, meaning the assassination of its leaders. His course is set and his presidency already permanently stained the ever-familiar blood-red tint. There's no short-cut in counter-insurgency.The mild-mannered professor is bidding to be as sure-footed as Bush and Cheney in trampling on constitutional rights. He's planning to restore Bush's kangaroo courts for prisoners at Guantanamo who've never even been formally charged with a crime!

Is is because of the economy, color, race or criminal history?"There’s not white America, black America, Hispanic America — there’s just one. So why can't your black a** find a job? Get this, according to MSNBC, "experts are worried that many blacks will remain in crisis even as the economy begins to recover, largely because the recession has eliminated so many working-class jobs in sectors like manufacturing and retail that are likely to come back slowly, if at all." “Across the board right now the job prospects are slim, but for blacks even more so than average,” said Algernon Austin, director of the program on race, ethnicity and the economy at the Economic Policy Institute, a think tank that focuses on issues affecting lower to middle-income workers. The numbers illustrate the sheer depth of the problem black workers are facing. For all the gains that black workers have made over the past 20 years, everywhere from corporate boardrooms to the White House, there remains a persistent gap between black and white unemployment rates. Since the recession began in December 2007, the national unemployment rate has gone from 4.9 percent to 10.2 percent, while the the black unemployment rate has jumped from 8.9 percent to 15.7 percent, according to government figures. In addition, blacks have been more likely to drop out of the labor force altogether as many have become so discouraged about job prospects that they have stopped looking for work.

Young black women have an unemployment rate of 26.5 percent, while the rate for all 16-to-24-year-old women is 15.4 percent. For young blacks, race statistically appears to be a bigger factor in their unemployment than age, income or even education. Lower-income white teens were more likely to find work than upper-income black teens. Even blacks who graduate from college suffer from joblessness at twice the rate of their white peers. Some studies examining how employers review black and white job applicants suggest that discrimination may be at play. "Black men were less likely to receive a call back or job offer than equally qualified white men," says a Princeton University sociologist. "Black men with a clean record fare no better than white men just released from prison." AAPP Says: OK you folks who have blind faith with our President. Why is the President not having his cabinet Secretaries address this issue? Ratther than extending the war in Afghanistan he should be addressing real needs at home. Has anyone heard from the department of labor secretary? America's core cities needs a massive jobs program. It's no wonder our communities have not exploded.

Lincoln, a historically black university in Oxford, Pennsylvania, enacted the requirement in 2006, meaning that this year's graduating class is the first to feel its effects. Despite student protests, James DeBoy, chairman of the health, physical education, and recreation department, doesn't see a problem with the requirement.

African Americans make up 15 percent of Congress but 100 percent of those subjected to a full-scale investigation, raising questions about a double-standard. According to media accounts, House members under full investigation as of late July were Democrats Charles Rangel (N.Y.), Maxine Waters (Calif.), Bennie Thompson (Miss.), Carolyn Kilpatrick (Mich.), Donald Payne (N.J.), Laura Richardson (Calif.) and Donna Christensen (U.S. Virgin Islands).

The sighting of someone who is not of the majority Han race does not stop conversation here, but sparks comments of all sorts – of surprise, wonder, bewilderment and defensiveness. Being cautious about what one says about colour or heritage in China is seen as silly and blinded. That is not to say that talking about race in China is a dialogue suffused with respect. For example, during the late summer, Luo Jing, a resident of Shanghai of mixed-race descent (her father an African-American, her mother is Chinese) appeared on a television talent show that was seen across China. The farther Lou advanced in the contest, the louder the voices and vitriol became, especially against her mother for having slept with a black man and producing what many Chinese saw as an impure prodigy. Only a precious few saw Lou as a contestant, instead of some sort of a specimen of an ill-fated union. Her singing voice and presence in front of the cameras were fine (although she ended up eventually losing the contest). It was her colour and ancestry that dominated the conversation online and in the streets here. And now, Barack Obama is walking into this conversation....

Now that a Health Care Reform bill has been passed in the House, the most pressing question for black folks should be what kind of public option will come out of this process when it comes out of the senate joint Conference Committee? There have been many progressives who have argued strongly during the past few months that a successful public option would structure its payments to doctors and hospitals around Medicare rates. Medicare saves the government money because its purchasing power nationwide is unmatched, giving it leverage to negotiate affordable prices for Americans over the age of 65. It can afford to charge consumers less because it has low overhead and is remarkably efficient at what it does. A public option, they argued, should look very similar if it is also to save the government money and provide affordable health care to the public at large. Indeed, the Congressional Budget Office calculated that a “robust” public option paying Medicare rates plus 5 percent would save the government $110 billion over its first 10 years. Now the question is what did the NAACP, Congressional Black Caucus and other old school civil rights group argue for at the last hour? Why did it take them so long to get involved in the health care debate, and what did they really support, and why?

President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation. Obama wins has drawn mixed reviews - Reuters. OK, so I'm reading Andrew Sullivan's All Over The World post in which he writes, This president has done a huge amount to bring race relations in this country to a different place." AAPP: I'm like what world is he in? What has this guy been smokin' For most black Americans, race/color relations in this country is worst since Barack Obama became President. Candidly, I'm with so many Americans on this one. I'm wondering what did President Barack Obama do to win the Nobel Prize. What did he really do? Did he really win because he is the first black to win the Presidency of the United States? If so, this will be the first "Race Card-Nobel Prize." Barack has not solved the color arousal problem in America, Stopped the War on Afghanistan, or brought Peace to the Middle East, So... What did Obama do to get the Nobel Peace Prize? As reported by the Huffington post, The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline.

Now everyone is talking about race in America. CNN is talking about Race and politics in the age of Obama While Youtube is off the chain with reports on color arousal or what some people term, race matters. While the United States is gaining momentum in public diplomacy abroad and reasserting itself as a credible force for peacemaking in the Middle East, the nation must deal with the increasingly hostile and hateful rhetoric that has reared its ugly head in the ongoing health care debate. AAPP: Since Barack Obama became President of the United States the bigots have come out and black America have been catching hell. President Carters recent comments are not wrong. The reality is racism is behind much of the color aroused hatred against President Obama and blacks in America. We are not is a post-racial society no matter how much Barack Obama wants to think we are. Color aroused bigotry or what some called racism isn't dead in America. Take for example the South Carolina bigot Joe Wilson a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, who also fought efforts to remove the Confederate battle flag from South Carolina's statehouse. Rep. Hank Johnson was right when he commented that, without a House resolution rebuking bigot Joe Wilson, America would see "folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again, and riding through the countryside intimidating people." Yes, Wilson's shout reopened South Carolina's racial wounds and the wounds of a nation. So, do you think color aroused hate will destroy America?

Joe Wilson's outburst during Obama's speech to Congress last week was "based on racism." Carter also said "There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president."

African-American online activist organization ColorOfChange.org, reports today that 33 companies “directed that their commercials not air on Beck’s show.” The ColorOfChange boycott began shortly after Beck called Obama “a racist” on Fox & Friends, adding that the president “has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.” Beck makes controversial and provocative remarks on his own Fox show, too, such as recentlytalking about poisoning Nancy Pelosi.

This as Americas elite class laugh as Barack Obama takes the heat for the greed and excesses of corporate America. Black folks know that politics is the art. As Economist Paul Krugman noted, the art of the possible. Paul is right. Obama was never going to get everything his supporters wanted. But there's a point at which realism shades over into weakness, and progressives increasingly feel that the administration is on the wrong side of that line. It seems as if there is nothing Republicans can do that will draw an administration rebuke: Sen. Charles E. Grassley feeds the death-panel smear, warning that reform will "pull the plug on grandma," and two days later the White House declares that it's still committed to working with him. It's hard to avoid the sense that Obama has wasted months trying to appease people who can't be appeased, and who take every concession as a sign that he can be rolled. Indeed, no sooner were there reports that the administration might accept co-ops as an alternative to the public option than GOP leaders announced that co-ops, too, were unacceptable. So progressives are now in revolt. Obama took their trust for granted, and in the process lost it. and as Barack Obama puts up his middle finger to the black poor and middle class, and says he is going on vacation...

These weak Minded Ron Paul supporters, or the few right wing nut bloogers, can't believe that black folks are going to go out and join these wacko right wing groups based on this new strategy for recruiting members and supporters... I'm hoping that the Obama Justice Department is analyzing these right-wing terrorists and groups in the United States and are developing effective counterterrorism strategies to prevent these anti-American groups and individuals from growing. I believe these groups need to be dismantled. UPDATE: According to The Washington Post, in it's article by Alexi Mostrous we should not be expecting Barack Obama to take on the NRA and it's supporters. Get this, Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said people are entitled to carry weapons outside such events if local laws allow it. "There are laws that govern firearms that are done state or locally," he said. "Those laws don't change when the president comes to your state or locality." AAPP: Like many people, I totally disagree with Gibbs's comments, I fear that the debates over health-care reform are more likely to turn violent if guns to be brought into the equation. "I guess the KKK, White Citizens Council and other right wing groups will be bringing guns to ever rally on every political and social issue in America. This is insane... allowing guns at public events is public endangerment. it's opening up an opportunity to a wild-wild west shoot out. These right wing nuts are wacko.

Why Don't Blacks Have A "Black Agenda"A writer at the LA Times is writing about how Barack Obama finally showed up. On the centennial anniversary of the NAACP last month, the president took the microphone at the organization's convention in New York and, for the first time since his inauguration, spoke directly to black Americans. Noting that it was "good to be among friends," he went on to deliver a clear, sometimes informal and impassioned speech on the state of the race -- his race. He unselfconsciously used the terms "us" and "we." He charted the victories of the black past and described the present as much more paradoxical: Civil rights was the battle of the previous generation, he said, but persistent inequality is the fight of the present one. He even said that American society suffers from "structural inequality," a phrase loathed by conservatives and plenty of liberals too. The appreciative audience shouted amens and hooted with pride. It was in part because of the work of the NAACP, Obama acknowledged, that he was able to stand before the organization on its 100th birthday as the 44th president of the United States, an astonishing development. And yet, today, the fate of black folk is far from certain and is in some ways less secure than at any time in the last 100 years. Why? Blacks don't have an agenda.

Instead of Barack Obama pissing them off for a good reason, like shooting black people in the back or tasering black folks while black, he had to say something about his Harvard Buddy. As reported by MSNBC, many police officers across the country have a message for President Barack Obama: Get all the facts before criticizing one of our own. Obama's public criticism that Cambridge officers "acted stupidly" when they arrested black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. could make it harder for police to work with people of color, some officers said Thursday. It could even set back the progress in race relations that helped Obama become the nation's first African-American president, they said. "What we don't need is public safety officials across the country second-guessing themselves," said David Holway, president of the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, which represents 15,000 public safety officials around the country.

"The figures we worked off of in January were the consensus figures and most of the blue chip indexes out there." "We misread how bad the economy was, but we are now only about 120 days into the recovery package," the vice president said later in the interview. "The truth of the matter was, no one anticipated, no one expected that that recovery package would in fact be in a position at this point of having to distribute the bulk of money."

Why Are Elvis fans going crazy?While the autopsy report of Michael Jackson is still awaited, people close to him have claimed that his dependency on prescription drugs, encouraged by "enablers", led to his sudden death. Brian Oxman, attorney and spokesman of the late singer, told CNN that there were "enablers" in the star's entourage, who pressurized the singer to perform and pushed him towards prescription drugs. "I believe (his manager) Frank DiLeo was with him at the time (of his heart attack), that is what I have been told. This family has been trying for months and months and months to take care of Michael Jackson," said Oxman. "The people who have surrounded him have been enabling him. If you think the case of Anna Nicole Smith was an abuse, that is nothing compared to what has taken place in the life of Michael Jackson," Oxman added hinting at the role of the coterie that surrounded Jackson during his last days. Now the question is, Who Killed Micheal Jackson? And why are so many whites hurt because Elvis Pressley will be history, forgotten now that Micheal Jackson has left this earth?

The strongly-worded resolution, which comes 144 years after the Civil War and 45 years after the Civil Rights Act, describes "the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery and Jim Crow laws." Now that Congress "apologizes to African-Americans on behalf of the people of the United States, for the wrongs committed against them and their ancestors." is it all over? Are you happy? You remember how former President Bill Clinton expressed regret for America's role in the slave trade, and President George W. Bush called it "one of the great crimes of history" when he visited Goree Island off the coast of Senegal. ... Well folks that is all your getting a sorry.... Now there is a disclaimer saying that it does not support or authorize any claim against the United States. In other words: We're sorry. But that doesn't mean you're going to get anything for it. But, as Cynthia Gordy writes a great article on Essence OnLine, There is, however, a historic precedent to reparations paid by the U.S. government. The 1988 Congressional apology to Japanese-Americans for internment during World War II, for example, was followed by about $1.6 billion in reparations that were given to victims of internment and their heirs. The government has also paid reparations to some of descendants of Native Americans. So, is an apology to African-Americans without accountability enough? ...

Meanwhile, The debate over corporal punishment in public schools has made it's way to the Capitol of Louisiana. Get this, Tuesday Representative Barbara Norton, D-Shreveport, took her bill to ban corporal punishment before the House Education Committee. The legislator said, "There are 11,000 children being paddled in school each year," said Norton. "If these children are being whipped in their houses and whipped in the schools, I say to you today, what is it we can do to give that child some stability, to understand somebody cares." The issue caught the attention of lawmakers on the committee, including Representative John Edwards, D-Amite, who allows corporal punishment for his son in school. "On occasion he needs corporal punishment, but everyday he needs to know that it is something that the school can administer, and I believe that," said Edwards. Also watching closely, supporters of Norton's cause, who think corporal punishment is disproportionately used on boys, african americans, poor and disabled students are members of various watchdog groups.

Weaver, 47, made the threatening comments in January on a news Web site called infowars.com, according to a complaint filed earlier this week in U.S. District Court in Roanoke. Weaver, who was ordered held without bond Friday, logged onto the site using the name "F---ThePIGS," the complaint states. After reading a newspaper article on infowars.com that described how a 17-year-old boy died after being shocked with a Taser by a Martinsville police officer in January, Weaver wrote: "this makes my blood boil." "Maybe I should drive to Martinsville with my 9mm Glock and some Teflon coated armor-piercing Black Rhino hollow point rounds and do the world a favor by ridding the world of this piece of s--- pig," the message read. Authorities traced the post to Weaver's Internet protocol address, which they say was used several days earlier to make even more menacing comments about the fatal shooting of an unarmed man by police officers on a train platform in Oakland. The New Year's Day death of 22-year-old Oscar Grant led to violent street protests and was also featured on infowars.com On May 29, federal agents searched Weaver's Roanoke home. He told them he frequents infowars.com and admitted making the postings, according to the complaint. Weaver said he was angry at the time but insisted he did not intend to harm anyone. After hearing testimony Friday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Urbanski ruled there was probable cause to support the charges and ordered Weaver held without bond. Urbanski rejected an argument by public defender Fay Spence, who said Weaver's actions were protected by the First Amendment.

This is a case that was started over two years ago. April Griffin attracted a legion of supporters last year with her desperate refusal to accept a judge's order that her son's father be given a chance to share custody. She sent the boy into hiding in May 2007 and showed up at the Milwaukee County courthouse and told District Judge Michael Goulee to go ahead and put her in jail. He did just that and sent deputies searching her family members' homes, threatening to arrest anyone found helping hide the child. But as the months passed, nothing changed. Griffin remained in jail, and her son, Jesse Moses Griffin-Sebuliba, remained missing. When Goulee released Griffin earlier this year, citing her fast-deteriorating health in jail, he did so with a warning. The child, he said, "will be found. And he will be found with someone, and that someone will be charged with a crime." Lern more about the crime against April Griffin, Tasered While Black, Beaten, and abused by the system.

But despite her personal history, Sotomayor's professional record is notable less for its iconoclasm than for its steadiness and solidity. Sotomayor, now a judge on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, would become the first Hispanic on the Supreme Court. By any measure, she is well prepared for the job. A graduate of Princeton and Yale Law School, she has worked as a prosecutor and as a corporate lawyer in civil cases. And her previous service as a federal district court judge would be a crucial addition to the court. Currently, only departing Justice David Souter has experience as a trial judge. By proposing Sotomayor as his replacement, Obama has answered his own complaint that current Supreme Court justices - most of whom entered the federal judiciary at the lofty appellate level - often consider cases through too abstract a prism. Some liberal activists hoped that Obama would seek a firebrand to counter Antonin Scalia, the darling of the right. Will Sotomayor be the Latino's Clarence Thomas?

Last week, a group of about 60 professors petitioned the White House, asking the first black U.S. president to break tradition and not memorialize military members from the Confederacy, the group of Southern states that supported slavery. "The Arlington Confederate Monument is a denial of the wrong committed against African-Americans by slave owners, Confederates and neo-Confederates, through the monument's denial of slavery as the cause of secession and its holding up of Confederates as heroes," the petitioners said.

Mr. Clinton visited the nation along with United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon a few months ago, and he appealed at a donors conference here for contributions to help with disaster aid as well as investment aid. While the former president’s actions are independent of his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, she, too, visited Haiti briefly in mid-April to call attention to the nation’s plight and to pledge rebuilding aid. In a statement he gave to The Miami Herald, he said he would be employing the Clinton Global Initiative, his far-ranging philanthropic effort, to try to help Haiti rebuild. ---- So....Should Bill Clinton be a special envoy to Haiti?

"The lines of customers wanting to redeem their coupons have been out the door and around the block, so we're unable to redeem customer coupons at this time." Eaton said in a statement issued late Thursday. KFC said millions of Americans had downloaded free coupons after the offer was featured on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and Web site on Tuesday, driving traffic to levels unseen in the brand's 50-year history.

It is against military rules to proselytize -- a regulation one of the soldiers filmed by the network readily acknowledged. "You cannot proselytize, but you can give gifts," says the soldier. It is a crime in Afghanistan to attempt to convert anyone from Islam to any other religion. "I also want to praise God because my church collected some money to get Bibles for Afghanistan. They came and sent the money out." The footage is said to be roughly a year old. The Al Jazeera report also shows a military preacher urging army parishioners to "hunt people for Jesus." "The Special Forces guys, they hunt men. Basically, we do the same things as Christians. We hunt people for Jesus. We do, we hunt them down. Get the hound of heaven after them, so we get them into the Kingdom. That's what we do, that's our business," he says.

On January 20th President Obama was handed wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, financial meltdown, exploding foreclosures, mass layoffs, healthcare and education in shambles. In some states the unemployment rate had reached double digits. Communities of color across the nation, already in a deep hole, were hit first and worst by deepening recession. The solutions to these critical problems are within reach, if we help those who need it the most, and if we make equity the key engine of progress. So we ask you, in his first 100 days in office, did President Obama push for “justice for all” or did he get stuck in the quagmires of the Bush era?

The Bail Out and black folksShootings, murder-suicide raise broader question: Is violence linked to recession? Patrik Jonsson, a Staff writer at The Christian Science Monitor is asking the question about the deaths in North Carolina and California, which follow other high-profile shootings in recent weeks. Four Oakland, Calif., police officers shot down. An Alabama man strolling a small town with a rifle, looking for victims. Seven elderly people shot dead at a North Carolina nursing home. And on Sunday, six people, including four kids, died in an apparent murder-suicide in an upscale neighborhood in Santa Clara, Calif. The details in all these cases are still emerging. In most, the exact motive has yet to be determined – or may never be fully understood. On a broader level, however, such incidents may be happening more often because an increasing number of Americans feel desperate pressure from job losses and other economic hardship, criminologists say.

Not only are black women at higher risk for aggressive breast tumors. You see, According to a US study, black women as compared to women of other races are three times more likely to develop aggressive breast cancer. With the highest rate of cancer in the world, black women in the USA have a lower overall rate of breast cancer than white women. However, when they do get it, it is often in the more advanced stage when diagnosed, and more likely to return after treatment, with a less favorable outcome. There is more, now there is a National study on why black women are balding. Get this, black women are finding themselves having Alopecia , which is the complete or partial loss of hair at an early age. OK, just in case you don't know, Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCC Alopecia) is the most common type of scarring alopecia found in African-American women that usually begins at the central scalp, gets increasingly worse and is ultimately permanent. Early research indicates that an estimated 15 to 19 percent of all African-American women in the U.S. - more than 36.6 million women have a history of hair loss, and more than half (51 percent) are concerned with thinning hair/hair loss as a top hair care problem. More HERE AAPP says: I know a lot of women who are wearing all sorts of hair weaves to deny the problem. People suffering from hair loss should stop putting all that weave glue in there hair and go more natural. Black woman (not all black women) should stop all this hair weave thing, and go natural. Stop making excuses! Stop trying to catch a man or trying to be a fake Beyonce in a weave. Catching a man at this point may cause you to catch something else as well. The unspoken truth is, Black men are the leading cause of death for black women.

And it appears that Gay Rights wins hands down. MSNBC reports The Obama administration will endorse a U.N. declaration calling for the worldwide decriminalization of homosexuality that then-President George W. Bush had refused to sign, The Associated Press has learned. U.S. officials said Tuesday they had notified the declaration's French sponsors that the administration wants to be added as a supporter. The Bush administration was criticized in December when it was the only western government that refused to sign on. Yet the Barack Obama administration, as reported by the The NY TImes, will not attend the second World Conference Against Racism in Geneva unless the conference’s main document improves, according to a State Department official. The NY TImes, reports the long, unwieldy document seeks to ban criticism of religion, calls for slave reparations and attacks Israel as racist. Israel and some American Jewish groups urged a boycott of the April conference, and several close American allies, including Canada, said they would not go. The United States walked out of the first Conference Against Racism, in Durban, South Africa, in 2001, as a protest against an effort to compare Zionism to racism. I guess the Obama administration will have to decide whether it's stands against color aroused bigotry and racism or will it stand with Israel, Canada and Italy who have announced they will boycott the forum in Geneva.

Obama proposed spending additional money on effective teachers in up to 150 additional school districts, fulfilling a campaign promise that once earned him boos from members of the National Education Association. “Good teachers will be rewarded with more money for improved student achievement, and asked to accept more responsibilities for lifting up their schools,” he said in a wide-ranging education speech before a meeting of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Washington. Obama’s embrace of merit pay won’t go over well among a group that often provides key funding and foot soldiers for Democratic campaigns. Teachers’ unions say merit pay causes teachers to compete against each other, rather than collaborate, and is unfair to those who work in disadvantaged areas where it can be harder to boost student performance.01:00:00AAPolitical SlugfestnoBarack Obama,Teachers,Teachers Unions,Race Matters,SchoolsAfter weeks of pleasing Democrats by overturning policies set by the previous administration, President Barack Obama Tuesday for the first time confronted a powhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/africanamericanpoliticalpundit/2009/03/09/AAPPs-Drive-Time-Politics-ProgramPolitics Progressivehttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/africanamericanpoliticalpundit/2009/03/09/AAPPs-Drive-Time-Politics-Program/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/africanamericanpoliticalpundit/2009/03/09/AAPPs-Drive-Time-Politics-ProgramMon, 09 Mar 2009 23:00:00 GMTEric Holder takes on American Color Arousal and bigotry.As reported by Politico.com, Barack Obama went to Selma, Ala., two years ago to claim a place in the lineage of civil rights pioneers. His African-American attorney general returned to mark “Bloody Sunday” again — this time, with a pledge to restore the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and end “the scourge of racial profiling.” Much like Obama in 2007, Eric Holder’s appearance at Brown Chapel AME Church Sunday was part remembrance, part present-day politics Holder was there to commemorate the day in 1965 when Alabama state troopers beat a group of civil rights marchers, but he also spoke to those in the church of racial struggles today, with a pledge that Obama would help protect the gains won by their predecessors. The attorney general did not reprise his view that America is “a nation of cowards” for not being more willing to discuss race. But Holder confronted in plain terms two issues critical to the black community — issues that many blacks widely believe the Bush administration ignored. “Under my leadership, the Civil Rights Division will fight discrimination and inequality just as fiercely as the Criminal Division fights crime,” Holder promised in the sanctuary that often served as a local headquarters for civil rights activists in the ’60s. “Under my leadership, in all that it does, the Civil Rights Division will reflect the spirit of the movement that inspired its creation.” Is Eric Holder saying what we all would like President Obama to say? Is Eric Holder the man with the plan to right the wrongs of George W Bush, and so many other President's through American history? lets' talk about this and other issues tonight on the the slugfest! 02:00:00AAPolitical SlugfestnoPolitics,Democrats,Republicans,Independents,African American Political PunditAs reported by Politico.com, Barack Obama went to Selma, Ala., two years ago to claim a place in the lineage of civil rights pioneers.

OK, and as reported by Politco.com when on his pre-inaugural visit to Ben’s Chili Bowl, a landmark for Washington’s African-American community, President Barack Obama was asked by a cashier if he wanted his change back. “Nah, we straight,” Obama replied. The phrase was so subtle some listeners missed it. The reporter on pool duty quoted Obama as saying, “No, we’re straight.” But many other listeners did not miss it. A video of the exchange became an Internet hit, and there was a clear moment of recognition among many blacks, who got a kick out of their Harvard-educated president sounding, as one commenter wrote on a hip-hop site, “mad cool.” Why Did Micheal steele apologize, Is Madea on the down low, and more tonight on the slugfest! y02:00:00AAPolitical Slugfestnoblacks,Color,Color Arousal,Whites,Race Matters Color ArousalYou have heard the new controversy right.

Get this, American International Group Inc. (AIG) will receive up to $30 billion in additional federal assistance as part of a revamped government bailout plan that will see the Federal Reserve take stakes in two international units, says the Huffington Post. The new deal calls for the Treasury and the Federal Reserve to provide fresh capital from the government's Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP, the source said, asking not to be named because the discussions are still ongoing. The new funding marks the fourth government rescue of AIG since September. It is intended to further support the New York-based insurer, which is expected to announce $60 billion in quarterly losses early Monday. Meanwhile, President Obama is in danger of losing the biggest stick in his foreclosure prevention arsenal. The administration's plan to stem the housing crisis depends on Congress amending the bankruptcy laws to allow judges to modify mortgages, in particular by reducing principal to make monthly payments more affordable. The so-called cramdown provision could put pressure on loan servicers to modify mortgages before borrowers file for bankruptcy. A major critique of the voluntary modification programs is that servicers aren't doing enough to help struggling borrowers. But servicers will likely be more aggressive in working with homeowners if they know that the borrowers can turn to judges for relief. But congressional Democrats, who first introduced a bill broadening judges' power two years ago, are running into trouble gathering the support needed to pass the legislation. The Democrats are ready to screw the American people, while bailing out big business.

Every major market retreated, with the previous day's news that Japan's recession deepened amid the global economic downturn still weighing on investors. Banks and insurers were in the spotlight amid concerns that there was more pain ahead for the global financial industry. In Britain overnight, fears mounted that Lloyds Banking Group might be nationalized after the firm on Friday reported larger-than-expected losses at recently acquired Scottish bank HBOS. Meanwhile, the cost of protecting against defaults on bank debt in Japan and elsewhere rose, analysts said. With about 3.6 million jobs lost since the recession officially began just over a year ago, the reeling job market is not hitting all demographic groups equally. Among blacks, 16-years-old and up, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate reached 12.6% in January, compared with the national rate of 7.6%, according to the Labor Department. In fact, the black unemployment rate has been above 7.6% since 2001. "For African Americans when the recession began they were already at an unemployment rate that would be considered a recession for the rest of the economy," said John Schmitt, senior economist with the Center for Economic and Policy Research. "African Americans and Latinos start a recession already in a recession, and then things get worse." Why are some groups having a tougher time with jobs? Racial minorities are always hit harder in recession, and that the trend is tied, in part, to education.

Patterson brought to the United Nations a petition titled by the name "We Charge Genocide: The Crime of Government Against the Negro People." Are the crimes against black people continuing, but we just don't realize it. Is black on black crime part of genocide? Is Prostitution genocide? Is black kids being charged with crimes they did not commit genocide? Is pole dancing genocide? Is over 1 Million black men in prison genocide? Is the death penalty genocide? Is RAP Music Genocide? Is abortion genocide? The issue of black genocide should not be dismissed as "mumbo jumbo," as occurred in a prominent Time magazine essay (White, 1990:20). Poor black men (and now black women) are subjected to many disabling conditions that restrict opportunity, inflict pain and suffering, and shorten lives. It is of course true that black men and women are not slated for the death camp and institutionalized slaughter. Nevertheless, the evidence, though still incomplete, strongly suggests that the plight of poor African American males goes beyond simple political oppression and indeed crosses the threshold of genocide.

"We can't afford to wait. We can't wait to see and hope for the best," Obama said in Elkhart, Ind., a community reeling in job losses during the recession that has defined his young presidency. "We can't posture and bicker and resort to the same failed ideas that got us in into this mess in the first place." Obama took the Washington debate Monday to a Midwest setting of everyday Americans, sought to build support for a massive infusion of government spending. The popular president got at least one biting question during a candid question question-and-answer session, when a woman who identified herself as Tara took Obama to task for some of the tax lapses of his high-level nominees. "You've come to our county and asked us to trust you, but those that you have appointed to your Cabinet are not trustworthy and can't handle their own budget and taxes," she said. Others in the town-hall session booed her, but Obama interjected: "No, no, this is a legitimate question." Obama said he has taken responsibility for the perception that some people shouldn't have to play by the same rules as everyone else. Two nominees, including Tom Daschle, who was in line to be secretary of Health and Human Services, withdrew from consideration after revelations of delinquent taxes. But he added that the mistakes were honest ones and said: "If you're not going to appoint anybody who's ever made a mistake in your life, then you're not going to have anybody taking your jobs."

This pundit has already given his opinion. The fact of the matter is, If a black man or woman didn't pay his or her taxes they would not even be considered for employment with any Federal agency, let alone become head of the Department of Health and Human Services.

In her first public performance since seen her mother, brother and nephew were slain in October, Hudson delivered a stunning version of the anthem.

Does he really care about Black People? Why Should HeI was just reading an article over at the Harvard Crimson, and it goes something like this: As an African-American, people expect me to be excited by the inauguration of the first black president of the United States last week. Of course, symbols matter. A black man could not have ascended to the presidency 40 years ago. But the inauguration of President Barack Obama means considerably less than what the pundits say it means. True, it indicates that racism is lessening in America. But the black unemployment rate will stay the same. The black poverty rate will stay the same. Policemen will still murder elderly black women with impunity. Confederate flags honoring those who killed to preserve slavery and racial segregation will still disgrace our public spaces. And Obama will not do or say anything about any of this. Now like the writer, this African American Political Pundit wonders, does Barack Obama really care about black people in America? Now that there is a black man running the republican party, should we all join the Republican party?

The former Maryland lieutenant governor takes over a beleaguered GOP as Republicans seek to rebound from back-to-back defeats in national elections that gave Democrats control of Congress and the White House. "As a little boy growing up in this town, this is awesome," said Steele, the most moderate candidate in the field and considered an outsider because he's not a committee member. In a brief acceptance speech, the new GOP chairman struck a tone of inclusiveness. "We're going to say to friend and foe alike: We want you to be a part of us, we want you to with be with us, and for those who wish to obstruct, get ready to get knocked over," Steele said. He won 91 votes out of a possible 168 in the sixth round. A simple majority of 85 was needed, but it took six rounds for Steele to win. Should Black folks be celebrating for a with him?

The administration “will review that particular provision,” Gibbs said today at his regular briefing. The president’s advisers understand “all of the concerns that have been heard, not only in this room, but in newspapers and up north and down south.” What! Screw the corporations.

Will Black Folks Be Left Out of Stimulas Plan? the washington post reports, The White House released a four-page report that for the first time spells out spending priorities and accountability measures for the recovery package, which comes as Obama tries to overcome some Republican opposition and pass the plan by mid-February. Some of Obama's proposals appear designed to attract Republicans -- such as a program to double renewable energy capacity in three years that includes a measure to leverage $100 billion in private financing, and an expansion of the Child Tax Credit, to cut taxes for more than 16 million children. Other proposals are aimed at appealing to average taxpayers, many of whom have not felt the benefit of an earlier stimulus package or the financial bailouts. Among the items: an expansion of access to the temporary health care program, Cobra, that people access when they lose their jobs. "This does reflect some bipartisan consultations," an Obama official said. But officials from the White House and the National Economic Council did not specify which items in the report came directly from Republicans during Obama's meetings with them in recent days. The report said Obama would spend at least 75 percent of the stimulus package in the first 18 months after passage. Among the other major goals is updating the electric grid by laying more than 3,000 miles of transmission lines and installing 40 million "Smart Meters" in American homes. The plan also would weatherize at least 2 million homes to save low-income families on average $350 per year, and modernize at least 75 percent of federal buildings. The plan calls for several major infrastructure investments, including enhancing security of 90 major ports and modernizing the nation's water system by launching 1,300 wastewater projects, 380 drinking water projects and 1,000 rural and sewer system projects.

As the folks from the BBC report, We hear a lot about Mr Obama's fascination with America's 16th President Abraham Lincoln, that other man of Illinois who appeared at a moment of national crisis to win a civil war to abolish slavery. As the BBC notes, there just may be a fascination perhaps a message? Lincoln may have been on the side of the angels, but he was a tough pragmatist rather than a dreamer and he was prepared to do whatever it took to save the Union, win the war and, as most whites and some blacks belive, free the slaves.

As reported by The Color of Change, when Oscar Grant was shot in the back by a transit cop, he was unarmed and posed no threat to anyone. But despite clear video evidence that this was murder, the killer cop still walks free. On New Year's Eve, Oscar Grant was shot execution-style by a transit police officer in Oakland, California. He was shot in the back while face-down on a subway platform, unarmed and posing no threat. Twelve days later--despite several videos showing what happened--the officer who killed Grant hasn't been arrested, charged, or even questioned. He quit the force and has refused to speak. The District Attorney has done nothing. Robert Tolan the son of former Major League baseball player, Bobby Tolan shot in his own driveway. The District Attorney has done nothing. And how about our black children. Check out the media coverage the unfortunate death of the disabled 13-Year-Old black girl who was found dead last week in a shallow, frigid waters of a Woodbridge area creek bed, and Prince William County (VA) police said they believe the body is that of a 13-year-old developmentally disabled girl who disappeared this week.

There is more. Lawrence Summers, Obama's choice for National Economic Council director, told House and Senate leaders in a letter from the transition team that the need to tap the second half of the $700 billion fund is "imminent and urgent."
