Your time, is almost, up... 2.0



Just noticed that a blog I posted several months ago mysteriously vanished... so this is the remake.

Black Republicans: Your time (on a pedestal), is almost, up.

Since Obama was elected, several token black folks have become famous for no reason other than being: 1) Black. 2) Republican. 3) Hates the very existence of Barack Hussein (if you add his middle name, it gets more retweets) Obama. From Alan West, to Larry Elder, to... what's the brotha's name that sounds like he always has liquid in his mouth..? Jessie Lee Peterson, etc.

Since my "vanished" post, Fox even has a new black sheriff on deck to talk about how lazy, stupid and shiftless black people are whenever Rupert Murdoch pushes his "black turmoil" button.

And now, the right has a new black token they are running for President, who's actually worse than the last token Herman Cane: Ben Carson.

But the point of my this post still remains true:

Your time, is almost, up.

Ben Carson will not be President. Any honest, rational thinking person has come to this conclusion three months ago. It wont happen.

That being said, once the new POTUS takes office, black republicans will once again vanish into obscurity. You will become irrelevant in the media. Hanitty will lose interest in your opinion, as quickly as he lost interest with Cliven Bundy when he became unpopular.

Sure, you may get plenty of Twitter followers for spreading lies like "Black Lives Matter is a hate group". Bill O'Reilly may even invite invite a couple of you on Fox to "debate" a black activist that's representing any organization that advocates for the justice and fairness of black people in America... but that will be the skinny of it.

The republican party has placed every black person with 10K+ republican Twitter/Face Book followers, who votes republican, on a pedestal since Barack Obama took office. The first attempt at "the response to Obama" was Michael Steele, who was nominated as head of the RNC quickly after Obama took office... he didn't last long. You see, Michael Steele is a bit "too moderate" for the republican party as it was then, and how it continues to be. Steele doesn't "HATE" Obama. That's key, you see. Then, they started placing the names mentioned earlier in the lime light, and now those people have successful careers on Fox, the Blaze, I think one woman even has a gig on MSNBC.

But in 2018, MOST of your names will be forgotten in the main stream media. I predict that once the first black President of the United States of America is no longer in office, the GOP won't care about your opinion anymore. The only reason you all became popular in the first place is because you are black, and you spoke AGAINST the first black President while the rest of black America celebrated. Hell: The current black Republican front runner was urged to run for POTUS for no reason other than he is black, and spoke against the Affordable Care Act, at a National Prayer Breakfast, in front of the first black President of the United States.

So drink it in for this last year, black republicans. And you heard it here first:

Your time, is almost, up.

If Obama had a son, he might have looked like Ben Carson.




It's strange to me to see all these (primarily) right wingers swarming to Ben Carson's defense about his... apparent violent past.

I heard the story of when he tried to stab someone (turns out it was a close relative... if Carson is to be believed) in a fit of blind rage. But now I'm hearing of him busting someone's face open with a lock. Now I'm hearing that he almost hit his mother over the head with a hammer? WHAT?

The reason it's strange, is because these VERY SAME right wingers are lightning fast to dig up the past of all the young, *UNARMED*, black children who have been murdered by police in the past couple years. All their suspensions. Their drug use. Their relationship with their parents.

NONE of these VERY SAME PEOPLE gave Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Tamir Rice, Cameron Tillman, Laquan McDonald, Carey Smith, etc... NONE of them gave ANY of these young black men the same benefit of doubt they are currently giving Ben Carson, with lustful enthusiasm.

Ben Carson was obviously a troubled youth. Hell, if social media, and the mass proliferation of guns in America were around when he was coming up, I feel 99.99% confident that Ben Carson, the world renowned neurosurgeon, who is currently leading the field of republican Presidential candidates, would have had some pictures on his Instagram,/FaceBook/Twitter account of him holding a gun. Or smoking weed.

*SOME*... of the names I mentioned above, were indeed troubled youths. But *MOST* of them, were just going about their business when a police officer (or cop reject turned vigilante in the case of Trayvon Martin) showed up and shot them dead. In the case of Tamir Rice, within LITERAL seconds.

ANY ONE of these precious children of God could have overcame their circumstances. The same way that Carson did. And they could have grown up to be world renowned in their professional fields. They could have done something great for the planet we ALL inhabit. Cameron Tillman could have grown up to cure cancer, for all we know.

So the next time a right winger shifts the discussion to the gang warfare going on in Chicago when the topic of police brutality comes up, my new response is:

 "You have NO IDEA of what these kids are going through, mentally or spiritually. Any of these kids could change their lives, and grow up to be the next Ben Carson."

They were never given the opportunity to "Think Big".

Is Fox News blindly racially insensitive, or knowingly indifferent?


Recently, Fox News has found a new hobby in covering the reactions of black communities all across America, to what we perceive as injustices committed against young unarmed black men by local authorities, and what we perceive as a failure of the "justice system" to even bother having a trial in the court of laws to determine whether or not the killing was justified. 

A very easy argument can be made, that as these protests continue, Fox News (and for some weird reason Don Lemon), choose to focus most of their on air talk time with when things start going south, and people begin to riot and loot.

But why is the disdain so one sided? 





<=This picture is some <=reaction from 
<=civil rights protests in the 60's.






This picture is THE=>
reaction to the=>
Ferguson protests in Rosebud=>
and Garland, MO.=>


When a handful of people in Ferguson started rioting and looting directly after Mike Brown's death, and during the midst of the mostly peaceful protests after a secret jury decided that Darren Wilson did absolutely nothing wrong, Fox News was enthusiastic to characterize the entire crowd of protesters as thugs, criminals and animals. But then when peaceful protesters walked from Ferguson to Jefferson City, MO, and had the unfortunate path of passing through Rosebud and Garland, MO, if they said ANYTHING at all, it wasn't "thugs", "animals", "criminals" etc. Why is that?

Another example.

When Cliven Bundy rallied a bunch of militia types from all around the country... ARMED militia men... men who spoke thusly:

"We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front. If they are going to start shooting, it's going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rouge federal officers."

- Sheriff Mack

So... these folks show up armed with military grade assault rifles, willing to have a shootout with the United States Federal Government, placing (I'm guessing) their wives and daughters in front of them, because some guy doesn't want to pay taxes, but they're not "thugs"? NO! In fact, several Fox News pundits, and even a few elected officials, labeled them PATRIOTS. Sean Hanitty assured Bundy that he would join him in his stand-off if shots were fired. Why aren't they "criminals", or "animals"?


Cliven Bundy has broken the law. Mike Brown broke the law. Cliven Bundy has stolen $1 million worth of taxes owed to the nation. Mike Brown stole $40 of cigarillos from a convenience store. Where's Fox's outrage?

When will America have an honest discussion about current race relations? How long is the mainstream media willing to pretend that everything is just fine?

I'm working to start that discussion, along with many more. Stay tuned.
