For the week Jan 15 thru Jan 21
Its getting serious people! 2012 is here and its turning out to be the circus we assumed it would. The way the GOP is going, it won’t be long before folks like David Frum, Kathleen Parker and Peggy Noonan are wearing Obama-Biden 2012 pins. So keep up the fight on the social networks and lets help our cool azz President to a second term! Now on to the comments.
“Damn…Take 2 Steps Forward, Ruth Williams Takes Us 5 Steps Back” Comment of the Week
MonieTalks, Monday Open Thread
So lemme get this straight…she felt a “divine intervention” tell her to go follow Mitt Romney’s campaign bus?
Now with her religious and spiritual confessions, did she request help from her church (I just know she is up in there at every chance)? food bank? her local social services office? how ’bout the unemployment commission?
and then she follows up with “I don’t need a handout, I need a job”…huh, when did Mitt Romney bus become a job placement agency…and now you cleaning and cooking collard greens?!
Call me cynical….but you happen to have a Black woman become a focal point of Romney’s campaign in a state where the majority of whites are Republican evangelicals (who hate handouts, socialism, and love states rights) and are shaky and tepid in regards to their support for Romney……AND where 55% of primary voters were Black in 2008.
mofo please.
But it was okay when he was just “married” but no kids? Would he still use it if he had a boy? It didn’t bother him that the women that he called “bitches” might be somebody else’s mother? I didn’t bother him that someone else could have called his mother a bitch? What about ‘ho’? Is that cool? Trick? Cunt? Slut?How long did it take him to come to this realization? He’s HOW OLD? Better late then never, I suppose…
Just goes to show that money cannot buy class. Never did, never will.
Like I said on Twitter, if your behind if a FORTY-TWO year old grown man and you just now realize the mess you write about women is hurtful because you just now had a daughter, something is wrong with you. Yeah, it’s nice that the birth of a daughter has changed his mind. But over 20 years rapping and calling women out of our names, and you never thought about anyone else’s daughter? That’s messed up to me.
Lol, serves you grifting motherfuckers right! You took a solid opportunity to influence real political change and to introduce the concepts of liberalism to otherwise closed-off audiences and squandered it with racism, classism, MASSIVE amounts of rich white-privilege, ignorance, and stupidity. While you were busy showing your asses, the president and REAL activists were working their asses off to pass legislation of which we are now reaping the rewards. So, farewell “progressive” trust-fundians! See you again in about 20-25 years when things get bad enough to affect you and you miraculously give a damn! Smooches!
Hasn’t this negro been on the scene—on TV and radio—-about 2 decades now, and he’s just coming up with a “plan” to address poverty? What, Dr. Claude Anderson didn’t have a clue? Elijah Muhammed didn’t preach “do for self”? Even Booker T. Washington, with his adherence to our knowing how to farm and construct our own buildings? What about the Poor People’s march in th 1960s? Who, pray tell, told him he is the arbiter of what poor people should be doing to better their plight, when all he has done, for all I’ve ever known, is pitch books about poor people for the guarantee of his own financial well-being. Oh, he knows how to sell books, but where’s his money benefitting poor people? Where is his Tavis Smiley Recreation Center, or Smiley Vocational School? His prison outreach, or, and this is prime——where has he stood up for the plight of black womanhood? Can we say major onslaught of Michelle Obama bashing? What about her dignity? Oh, right, she’s not Hillary, fair maiden of porcelain hue. Mickey fickey Tavis Smiley. He’s like every black man who I’ve ever known of who sold his soul for the escapism from blackness, who sought the relative comfort of white acceptance. Punk asses. We do not need his kind.
Disgusting.After learning that they have a new book titled Poverty Manifesto or something like that (the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard) being slated for publication this April, they need to go on ahead and call this their promotional tour.
Are they donating these speaker fees they are collecting? Where is Tavis’s Wells Fargo apology tour?
Mitt Romney was born on home plate and basically doesn’t understand anyone who wasn’t. He has no sense of awareness how people view him and people like him and he doesn’t care to know. His sense of entitlement is astounding. That Brett Baer interview and that first ad he ran taking PBO out of context is telling to me. He is smarmy, entitled and condescending. He looks and acts like Richy-Rich and Little Lord Fountelroy. The reason why rich people like him are so villified is that they no longer have any sense of noblesse oblige–a sense of guilt of having made money off of poor people and a willingness to give back–the Carnegies, Vanderbilts and co had that and built monuments, libraries and funded education and other public works to cleanse their names. He on the other hand really thinks that his riches make him virtuous and right.How is he planning to run for president against a man who showed TEN YEARS worth of tax receipts in the primary election and not show his is blindness in the extreme. He and PBO have the same educational track, but look at PBO and how he relates to people and how Romney does…a stark contrast. PBO is gonna mess him up and he won’t realize what happened to him in the end. I know Deval Patrick is gonna be a great surrogate for PBO and will bust Romney’s face wide open during the run-up to the election.
Racism = warm Snuggie for the GOP
A hooded, white Snuggie, y’all!
