Turkish Announcer Reports Obama Story In Black Face

Well, I guess PSBO isn't so well-loved internationally that he has transcended ridicule. My goodness, I'm betting the black quasi-socialist progressive fundamentalist racism chasing Obama acolytes will be ready to start WWIII for this act of blasphemy against "The One"....

H/T to Conservative Brother for the video

Who worries about Turkey? I only get mad when american blacks bash him. by the way, don't you neo-cons act like reagan dang near walked on water!??!

I am a proud American black woman and I will bash Obama for as long as he is in office.

I could care less who gets upset about it.

Obamabots are standing around waiting for Obama to hand out food for all with just five fish and five loaves of bread. Literally.

@Katrina:

What's your real problem, that people expect help from their Federal Govenrment OR the fact that under the new administration and the new congress, they MIGHt get some, instead of just the very rich getting a break?

Just sasking...

@DJ Black Adam,

When you were a young child and needed sneakers and you told your parent you wanted Jordans in particular, usually the first thing out of that parent's mouth was

1. Where you do you work at?

2. You will wear these skippies from Payless!!

And you had to wear them! Why?? Because someone else had the money and they were taking care of you. That's the same way I feel about the federal government and people expecting it to solve all of their problems. Sure, big government will march in to save the day-- but at what cost??

When someone else is supporting you, you pretty much have to live by their rules! Universal healthcare sounds awesome on paper, but that also gives the government the power to tell you what treatments THEY think you should receive and WHEN you should receive it! And if you are too fargone in your illness-- Oh well, it was nice knowing you! Think that is impossible-- it's in the massive stimulus plan that our elected officials just passed without reading! It's hidden in that 'digitalized medical records' part of it.

GM took money from the government and Obama FIRED their CEO! And he is demanding that they build the cars HE feels as though they should build! And WHY is he meddling in a private business?? Because government money is all up in it!

Pretty soon that is going to fall on the average American.

I know most liberals who are for big government intervention think those that are against it are greedy and selfish. But I can only speak for myself when I say I take care of myself because I don't want to have to answer to anybody!

I don't want the government providing me with healthcare, food or anything else. I just want my taxes used on the police, sanitation and the like.

Now many people fall on hard times and I understand that. But this is why it behooves everyone to get back up again and work hard to overcome.

Big government has never helped anyone accept big government.

*Sorry for the long response. This topic touches a nerve*

Absolutely 100% right!

That's very much how the overwhelming majority of Americans seem to feel.

The will to have power/control over others is a sickness and a large percentage of those attracted to government are afflcited with that weakness, just as camp counsellors and other jobs involving children, attract a disproportionate amount of pedophiles.

America was NOT founded on "freedom as license" - people being free to do whatever they'd like, it was founded on "freedom as LIBERTY" - complete self-ownership and the grinding weight of responsibility that comes with that, which is why in the USA government was set up as a SERVANT, NOT a ruler of the citizenry.

We can't throw off the burdens of self-ownership and having to struggle OURSELVES to make our ways through life without throwing off the Constitution as written, and to date, no American has dared to even suggest that.

@JMK and Katrina:

False Arguements from the both of you.

I am talking about the NEED for action, you are discussing how far that action should go, which is a discussion we CAN have, but is a DIFFERENT discussionbut don't place one for the other.

The economy is in a situation that the Federal government has to and is doing something to rectify.

So, extra food stamp benefits for the newly unemployed, I have no problem with, a degree of Universal Health care, I have no porblem with. If you do, then we just have to agree to disagree.

Katrina said...

@Paul Ervin,

I have been called a self-hater and much more! I sitll hold fast to my views.

I could care less what color Obama is-- if he is wrong than I will call him out on it.

You can keep drinking the Kool Aid if you wanna....

DJ Black Adam said...

@Katrina:

No here knows enough about you (or me or anyone else) tro call someone a "self hater" for not agreeing with Obama.

My question to you is what is your porblem with Obama? Ideological based on fiscal or scoial issues or a little of both?

Katrina said...

@DJ BLACK ADAM,

So, extra food stamp benefits for the newly unemployed, I have no problem with, a degree of Universal Health care, I have no porblem with. If you do, then we just have to agree to disagree.

I totally understand where you are coming from. A little help is great when you are in dire straights. But the government will always overstep it's boundaries.

It has happened before under FDR. It looks like we are headed down that same path when Obama.

DJ Black Adam said...

@Katrina:

"Universal healthcare sounds awesome on paper, but that also gives the government the power to tell you what treatments THEY think you should receive and WHEN you should receive it!...."

See, this is what I mean by false argument. Corporate America and specifically Financial Services based Companies like Blue Cross blue shield TELL me what I can get treated for or even if the want to insure me or pay for something that happens after the fact.

I'd prefer that the government offer or help underwrite a reasonable alternative that provides basic health care to at the least those who cannot afford what I have, and especially those people who are under or unemployed temporally so that one accident or sickness doesn't destroy a family.

Seem like you been drinking the right wing kool aid, it might not be "blue" like Obama's kool aid, but the "Red" Kool aid is STILL Kolo Aid.

DJ Black Adam said...

@Katrina:

"I totally understand where you are coming from. A little help is great when you are in dire straights. But the government will always overstep it's boundaries."

But Private corproations have screwed up the whole health care industry, so there needs to be a medium reached, if the Right would stop crying because they don't have the servers spot in the four square game and bring IDEAS to the tabel, maybe they could find the medium.

"It has happened before under FDR. It looks like we are headed down that same path when Obama."

Again, Regan and later gingrich and the boys swung it WAAAYYYY To far to the right, HMO's make billions and are screwing up, there ahs to be some balance.

"False Arguements from the both of you.

"I am talking about the NEED for action, you are discussing how far that action should go..." (DJBA)
<

You do this all the time....you re-interpret your own stance.

Your argument was NOT about "the need for help", as opposed to "how much help is appropriate", as your first statement was, "What's your real problem, that people expect help from their Federal Govenrment OR the fact that under the new administration and the new congress, they MIGHt get some, instead of just the very rich getting a break?"

Katrina's response was absolutely accurate, "When someone else is supporting you, you pretty much have to live by their rules! Universal healthcare sounds awesome on paper, but that also gives the government the power to tell you what treatments THEY think you should receive and WHEN you should receive it!....I can only speak for myself when I say I take care of myself because I don't want to have to answer to anybody!"

THAT is true.

Government can ONLY provide "free healthcare" by (1) forcing medical professsionals to work for lower pay (payroll costs are among the primary cost factors in U.S. Healthcare) and (2) raising income and sales taxes - that doesn't make healthcare "free", it merely masks the costs and government-provided ANYTHING always costs more than it would if delivered directly through the private sector.

And, another funny story, those "rich" they are NOT high income earners (there are virtually NO/ZERO top 1% of American income earners among America's "richest 1%) because "income is the least effective generator of real wealth, the "rich" are really those people who DON'T RELY on INCOME for the bulk of their wealth!

And those folks will ALWAYS get "a break" so long as we tax income, as they DON'T rely on income for any great percentage of their wealth.

Again, I stated that the federal Giovernment will need to do something, NOW, The WHAT and HOW MUCH can be debated, as I have debated that with you and others.

Now if you wish to posit that the Fedearl Government should do nothing, and things should go one like they are, that is your choice, I would disagree.

Now if you want to honestly debate HOW FAR or WHAT EXATCLY the Fed SHOULD do, regarding Health Care and Education, we can do that.

Conservative Black Woman said...

Paul Ervin~Black people (Me & Katrina) who do not support Barack Obama and his far left radical socialist agenda no more hate ourselves than Obama supporters (You & your ilk) hate yourselves.
That is just the most moronic argument which YOU are PARROTING because I truly don't believe that you are so stupid that after having thought about the implications of such a remark that you would actually believe it.

If I hate myself because I don't support a black man then you hate yourself and your mama for not supporting me a black woman....Do you see now how profoundly stupid that line of thinking is.

As far as the "parroting" accusation. I tell you what when you, Field Negro, Prof. Tracy, the Jack & Jill gang, MSNBC, CNN and the MSM start saying something worthy of "parroting" then I will parrot ya'll too....see how fair I am?

Apparently, Black Conservatives are too stupid to read, engage in critical thought and formulate an opinion. Because of our hair texture, facial features and the amount in melonin in our skin we are ALL supposed to think alike. Somehow the Black Conservative has "mutated" because they don't agree with the masses. No, no we really agree but we have just chosen to "parrot" fox because we hate our mutant selves.

This BS is really so stupid. I getting so frustrated because I never thought I'd see the day that the black intelligensia would actually live up to racial stereotypes and the fact that 96% of black folks voted for Barack Obama proves the sterotype that not only do we look alike, we think alike and we vote alike. It's a DAMN CRYING SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, I'm not crying I choose to laugh and spit (metaphorically of course because I'm lady) in the face of these dumb-azz racism chaser.

No, no we really agree but we have just chosen to "parrot" fox because we hate our mutant selves.<-----but you agree 100% with what talk radio says? I donot agree with Obama on many things. this bail out is one of them. whenever you have 2 people that agree 100% of the time, you can rest assured only one is doing the thinking - chruchill.

Katrina said...

I find it funny how people accuse conservatives of parroting Fox News (a channel liberals hate, yet mysteriously can quote Bill O'Reilly and/or Sean Hannity lines verbatim), yet are oblivious to the fact that liberals themselves sound an awful like clones of Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann.

For the record, I have watched FOX NEWS in over a year and I actually watch The Chris Matthews Show on NBC EVERY Sunday morning.

Just because black conservatives don't like Obama doesn't mean we hate ourselves. It means we could care less about Obama's skin color. His policies is what we have a problem with.

If Hillary or McCain was elected doing what Obama was doing I would rip him too!

Conservative Black Woman said...

Paul~You write "with all due respect CBW. this is because it really seems that you guys do. I have yet to hear an argument from that explains your point of view that isn't verbatim fox noise.<----------The points of view of most black bloggers (who are Obama supporters) is all the same as well. They all sound like Roland Martin or Keith Olberman does that mean that they are all parroting each other or that they agree, that they share the same point of view? Granted I watch Fox-- but I also watch CNN and MSNBC (I have no choice my husband doesn't share my politics)so if I'm parroting Fox which I don't think I am it's because I agree with them.

" But do you have to demonize "our" people to the extent that talk radio does. I never hear about trailer trash or the fact that the majority of Foodstamp and welfare recipients are single white women."<----I don't demonize "our" people. I have said on this blog many times that I don't even have a problem with informed Obama supporters. I am well aware that people where fed up with 8 years of George Bush and the Republican administration and shuttered at the prospect of voting for McCain. I get it! But, my problem is with uninformed Obama supporters who voted for him just because he is black and I am most fed-up, disgusted and outraged with professing Christians who voted for Barack Obama and continue to support him in spite of what he has already done when it comes to issues of life. As far as food-stamps, hand-outs, yada yada. That's not my beef. I believe now and I always have that I individuals who need government assistance should receive it but those who are willing and able to work are better off if the work.

"so calling obama a radical, mysterious, manchurian candidate is not code playing to base fears of mentally slow people in rural areas? all kerry was was a "flip-flopper", they even tried that this time around."<----- Not for me. Obama is radical, mysterious and manchurian(esqe) and when I put that message out it was because I believe it to be true and I was trying to pass the information on to those who had ears to hear. I don't feel that Obama is radical because I heard it on Fox I know that he is radical because he has said as much and I've read both of his books. I have also read Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals and a blind man can see that Barack Obama and his campaign team executed Alinksy's tactics quite masterfully.

JudyBright said...

There are about 300 million people in this country. Chances are if someone voices an opinion, it will not be original. Someone else has articulated it before, so you could be accused of "parroting" someone else no matter what your opinion.

I'd be a little frightened honestly if I was the only person who held a particular view. It would probably indicate that I was positively insane.

Of course, maybe someone has already said as much on Fox News, and therefore my opinion is invalid.

Carry on.

ALL our current economic ills were caused BY government - the excessive social spending and over-regulation of the G W Bush administration.

G W Bush spent MORE (even adjusted for inflation) than LBJ did on reckless social spending.

In the wake of the Tyco, Enron, Adelphia, Arthur Anderson scandals of 2001, G W Bush sought for and eagerly signed onto one of the costliest and far-reaching pieces of business regulation in over three decades.

G W Bush was the FIRST to use bailouts and "non-stimulating stimulus pakages" to fight a credit crisis born, in large measure by the Bush administration's ill-conceived attempt to close the minority homeownership gap by having Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy up/guarantee most of the subprime mortgages out there. In 2000 Fannie's & Freddie's share of the mortgag market stood at 24% (a number many pegged as "way too high"), but by 2007 that number INCREASED to just under 50% of the mortgage market with the increase almost entirely in those new subprime mortgages!

The problem with the current administration is that they aren't forging any new path, nor offering any real change form the Bush agenda, they ARE, in fact, offering only MORE of the same - MORE bailouts, MORE "non-stimulating stimulus packages" and even MORE reckless social spending.

THAT'S NOT "change," that's more of the same failed policies.

THAT is the problem.

DJ Black Adam said...

@JMK:

Yeah, I can agree it was caused BY government allowing the Financial Services industry to run amok and not ENOUGH regulation.

Sorry, we are just not going to see eye to eye on this one.

As a Black person who is focused upon the Black community I am disinclined to fall for the traps in which people like you like to talk about everything BUT what is going on inside of the Black community.

Thus while it may be true that a lot of White Republicans adore Ronald Reagan - I as a Black Conservative, Non-Republican am puzzled as to why the various "Concerned Black Clergy" organizations around the nation seem to defend Black Criminal Politicians long beyond their court conviction and prison sentence:

* Bill Campbell in Atlanta
* Kilpatrick In Detroit
* James in Newark

and a long long list of others.

When we focus the question upon the HARM to the Black Community as a result of blind loyalty - Ronald Reagan has got nothing on the "death by a thousand cuts" that these various local operatives have executed.

Okay lets get back to the original topic here...so what does everyone think about the Al Jolsen act from this idiotic Turk???

Come on.....the sad fact is for liberals, Black and White, it is only racist is white americans of euro descent do such stupid things..

Note that we do not see BK or Uptown Steve on this thread...the turks are allowed to do...after all, they are muslims, nominally so anyways and since being as such, they 'are down' with the cause or some other liberal idiocy....

This Turk is an idiot...and the race hustlers that are silent are the hypocrites we always knew they were....

I mean, Ted Danson got away with it also years ago because he is a liberal and was dating Whoopi at the time...

Racism only exists when someone on the center right spectrum commits such actions...

Sad but true.

This is truly mind in comparison because there is nothing to be done about the BIG error in judgement that 53% of Americans and 96% of Black American's made on Nov. 8th.

To this day blacks are much more comfortable in a master slave relationship than they are in a relationship of equals, the basis of which is that they are to be considered not only equal but responsible for their own well being. This explains blacks fatal attraction to paternalistic governmental schemes such as liberalism and communism, which promise cradle to grave welfare in exchange for the individual's surrender of autonomy. Since blacks don't value autonomy, which demands responsibility, they are giving up nothing, as they see it, for everything. Compared to that bargain any facts about the actual track record of communism or liberalism are small potatoes.

Actually TI would have more than likely BEEN a pirate, thank God for the entertainment industry.

Seriously, piracy is a very difficult military issue for Naval forces to deal with. Though you have to admit if for the last 8 years we didn't do anything of significance on the Horn of Africa (aside from supporting my fellow Ethiopians in a silly and futile campaign into Somolia) Barack is working on problems YOUR GUYS let get out of control. I give Barack a pass on this one.

Well, UTS I have to admit that I do. The truth is painful and hard to hear and it breaks my heart. Not for ALL black people fall in this category but it IS true for some. It's hard not to make the logicical conclusion that if 96% of black folks voted for PSBO and he campaign using rhetoric that was "socialist" in nature that black people aren't attracted to " paternalistic governmental schemes such as liberalism and communism, which promise cradle to grave welfare in exchange for the individual's surrender of autonomy." Although to be fair most have no idea that they will surrender autonomy.

uptownsteve said...

"CF raises an excellent question."

Are YOU crazy?

"Why have you misplaced your contempt?"

It's not an either/or question.

My contempt for black conservatives has nothing to do with rappers or corrupt politicians of either party.

And I happen to be quite satisfied with the black leadership in my community, th 27th legislative district of Maryland.

"Why aren't elected democratic officials held accountable?"

Who says they aren't CBW?

This is ridiculous.

All over the DC area politicians like Al Wynn, Harold Brazile, Kevin Chavous and others have been voted out by their constituencies who felt they were not serving the needs of the people.

What you and CF seem to bother with is that they are not replaced by black conservatives.

Well my sista, if you negroes came before the communtity and spoke to it with respect and some tangible ideas and solutions maybe you'd get a listen.

But as long as you (and you have said this constantly) consider black people unworthy of being courted and continue with the "why are you blacks so stupid and criminal" mantra, people are going to consider black conservatives sellouts and hustlers.

"Even if the black conservatives are just confused pathetic individuals why not just ignore us and hold elected official accountable."

I'd say black conservatives are pretty much ignored by the black community at large.

I just like to debate on black conservative blogs.

I get bored on sites where everyone agrees with me.

Herein is the lie.

You produce for me one quote of Obama promising black people cradle to the grave government assistance.

Or any black person demanding it.

You can't get over the fact that your side lost and lost bad.

And a lot of people who are not black are in full support of Obama's stimulus package and corporate bailout program (welfare for companies) mainly because there are no alternatives offered by the right.

But you are now, pathetically, trying to attribute Obama's victory, not to the multi-racial, multi-regional, multi class coalition that fueled his campaign for "Change" but to lazy, dependent black folks looking for cradle to the grave handouts.

CBW, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

I know none in mine.

Although to be fair most have no idea that they will surrender autonomy.

"Being fair, I think Black folks who blindly support democratcs are also simple minded."

I disagree.

There was a time when Republicans like Mathias, Rockefeller, Brooke and Javits got strong support.

I can remember as a young child in my father's hometown of Philadelphia in the 70s the black community supporting the Republican patrician Thatcher Longstreth over the brutal police chief Frank Rizzo in their race for Mayor.

The fact is that with very few expections in today's climate the GOP has given black people very little reason to support it.

Black folks are being intelligent.

Maybe you can since you don't live in the City of Chicago, in the County of COOK in the Great State of Illinois.

Black folks here in Chicago, often following the lead of some very well paid Pastor, support hook line and sinker Daley, Stroger, Meeks, and whomever else SIMPLY because they are "democrats". I have heard Black folk say they wouldn't vote for Colin Powell BECAUSE "he wasn't a democrat" if the Secretary had ran back in 2000.

Sorry, Black folks blindly support the Democrats and often that ISN'T in their best interest.

Look at Chicago's failing schools, that what mindlessly voting for Daley has gotten these folks. Chicago's most famous and corrupt police, while Daley puts resources towards Northside White neighborhoods and throws a bone to Hyde Park.

Sorry, Black people 9at least here) are damn fools for mindless supported the Democrats.

Now should they support the GOP? Probobly NOT, as the GOP has made clear that Blacks aren't important to them as a bloc, and have that latent and sometimes blatent racism thing going.

BUT, we should make the democrats deliver more than what they have.

"Well, UTS I have to admit that I do."

This is really sad CBW.<----I agree. I said as much. The truth hurts.


"Not for ALL black people fall in this category but it IS true for some."

What percentage CBW? More than 50%<---I'm not a statistician. But I would say at least 30% of the 96% of Black American's who voted for PSBO. How many times have you heard Black people say "The democrat party cares about black people." That's slave\master mentality because I don't need a "party" or a "politician" to care about me. I need my husband to care about me. I don't need a democratic or republican politician for that matter to "look out for my best interests" I will look out for myself thankyou and engage in activities which will prosper me. Not the job of the state to look out for me. Keep me safe in my community, and internationally beyond that I don't want government intervention.

A greater percentage of blacks than any other ethnic group?
Prove it.<----Yes, when I hear other ethnic groups as concerned about politicians "caring" for them I'll let you know.

"It's hard not to make the logicical conclusion that if 96% of black folks voted for PSBO and he campaign using rhetoric that was "socialist" in nature that black people aren't attracted to " paternalistic governmental schemes such as liberalism and communism, which promise cradle to grave welfare in exchange for the individual's surrender of autonomy."

Herein is the lie.<---Therein lays the beautiful truth. Prove me wrong. Because you live in a community with responsible citizens and your family is choked full of responsible parents, husbands, wives etc. still doesn't change that fact that too many of us believe the government should somehow "care" about us. No, we should "care" about ourselves.

You produce for me one quote of Obama promising black people cradle to the grave government assistance.<---umm, pick a speech. No he doesn't say I will take care of you from cradle to grave. But he is promising to redistribute wealth. Give everyone a piece of the pie. Everyone will have health care coverage (I'm not saying that's a bad thing--but we already have that essentially with medicaid)which means that more of our money will be taxed. My first responsibility is to my family and if I'm taxed more then my daughter suffers -- I'm not cool with that. Everyone's college education will be paid for. Promises, promises, promises which have to be funded with tax dollars. People who don't have to write a check to Uncle Sam (yes, I'm bitter) don't give a flying fig about it because they get refunds! Of course they are happy with the promises.

You can't get over the fact that your side lost and lost bad.<---Silly goose, we ALL lost. You may be too in love to notice as our liberties slowly dissapate but it has already begun.

And a lot of people who are not black are in full support of Obama's stimulus package and corporate bailout program (welfare for companies) mainly because there are no alternatives offered by the right.<---True, most liberals are mentally challenged regardless of their race. However, the Republicans in Congress have offered alternatives but they have no power and the libs are serious about getting their agendas pushed through.

But you are now, pathetically, trying to attribute Obama's victory, not to the multi-racial, multi-regional, multi class coalition that fueled his campaign for "Change" but to lazy, dependent black folks looking for cradle to the grave handouts.<----No, I'm attributing Obama's victory to black folks who have bought into style over substance, and racial solidarity above all else. I'm not dumb enough to think that the miniscule percentage of lazy black folks were enough to get PSBO elected. And being only 12% of the population there is no way he could have been elected based on our votes alone.

CBW, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.<---I don't have one thing to be ashamed of except my fellow Christians who have thrown the Lord Jesus Christ under a bus in favor of the Handsome, smart, articulate, Black man who loves his wife and kids.

Any body in your family been on the dole?<---I don't think so. Although I once tried hiring a babysitter who would live with us and she wanted to get on the "system" so we rescinded the offer of employment.

I studied Chicago in political science classes in college and it is definitely a unique situation where the Republican party is almost neutered except when a black is Democratic nominee.

Long, established and entrenched relationships between ward bosses, committee chairman who hand out jobs and city positions for favors and votes.

It is not so much a reflection of the Democratic Party as the corrupt Chicago political machine.

From what I've read a lot of peoples jobs and livelihoods depend on the political machine.

It's that culture that needs to be broken.

Conservative Black Woman said...

Conceived to help African Americans, the bill was amended prior to passage to protect women, and explicitly included white people for the first time. It also created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

But I just don't think God's people were very good representatives in this election. I just question if many really sought the heart and face of God in this election. No I don't question it...they could not have. They didn't. They "needed" a Black POTUS more than they needed the approval of the Father.

Well see, this is where you get me to admit that were it not for Sarah Palin I would not have voted for McCain because he is too moderate (I don't have a better word to describe not conservative enough) for me. I'll keep this simple and just say that the stance on abortion is really enough but there is so much more. First, PSBO believes that the Constitution is flawed -- I'm no Constitutional lawyer but it's (the constitution that is) is working for me. But knowing that Barack Obama is very liberal I wouldn't vote for him because of the supreme court appointments he is likely to make (which will have ramifications that will effect us long after his term is over), I was concerned about public policy (taxation,immigration,national security) and his cabinet appointments. I will always choose an individual who is Conservative in his ideology over an individual who is liberal because the Modern Liberal is dangerous to our society at large. JudyBright said it best on yesterday when she wrote that choice is only a choice to have an abortion other than that they want to control your life (well, she said it better).

Notice that my friend Steve keyed in upon the work "SEEK".

It is important to analyze Steve's tactics as I deconstruct his arguments.

In the mind of Steve he views INTENTIONS as more important than EFFECTIVE RESULTS. On the one hand he shifted my statements about "Black Thugs and Rebels" who INDEED DO THESE THINGS over to BLACK PEOPLE AS A WHOLE. Thus Steve's goal is to make any critical analysis about subsets of Black folks WHO HE PROTECTS (basically everyone EXCEPT BLACK CONSERVATIVES) as being assaults upon Black people as a whole. There is no amount of negative criticism that a White liberal could hoist upon Clarence Thomas, for example, before Steve makes note that a racist White liberal is really using his attack upon this Conservative Black as a proxy for his attack upon Black people.

Liberal White Supremacist educator Jonathan Kozol called a class of Black 7th graders "IGNORANT" but he blamed their ignorance on "No Child Left Behind" and thus by using an intermediate concept to attack - he knew that he would escape the wrath of Steve and other BQPFRCs. They hate NCLB because of Bush and thus they didn't mind that this racist White Liberal called these Black kids IGNORANT - because the BQPFRC by assuming the position might just get more money from the government and a bit of forbearance from accountability for their results.


RESULTS NOT INTENTIONS

Thus Steve's claim of "seek" is IRRELEVANT. Even if the intention was NOT to do anything on the list per any sort of systematic HATRED that White Supremacists have THE FACT THAT THIS IS INDEED OCCURRING at the hands of the Black Thugs makes them JUST AS GUILTY.

[quote]
And are you denying that throughout the history of this country white racists HAVEN'T?

Steve when I crafted my latest term "Racist Scarecrow" to describe the straw man that is thrown out to focus Black people on a certain RACIST THREAT - you were one of the key people who brought this concept to my mind.

My ANALYSIS that today the Black Drug Thug is the key terrorizer of Black people is not DEPENDENT upon me acknowledging to you that White Racists were our main terrorists in the past.

In fact it is the fact that YOU are unable to look at the RESULTS: DEAD BLACK PEOPLE as a result of a terrorist group's romp through our community that has me to believe that YOU BELIEVE that the Black Drug Thug is INFERIOR to the White Racist Thugs who sought to intimidate Black people and keep us in our places.

There's no opinion in my posts for us to differ on;

G W Bush sought and signed onto the most expensive and far-reaching piece of business regulation in the country - Sarb-Ox.

G W Bush signed onto the FIRST bailouts and TWO "non-stmulating stimulus packages" AND spend MORE (even adjusted for inflation) on reckless social spending than even LBJ did.

Bush, joined Frank, Dodd and others in having Fannie & Freddie buy/guarantee a wider swath of the mortgage market...FROM 24% of the mortgage market in 2000 TO just under 50% by 2007, most of that increase in subprime loans, which fueled the bout of credit counterfeiting that's triggered the ongoing global credit crisis.

JMK, you are smarter than that. The business that got INTO the Sub Prime business had MANY ways to do loans to the sub prime market, they CHOSE the STUPIDEST ways becuase they could make MORE PROFIT off of the STUPID WAYS not because they were "forced to".

Credit Default swaps and the bundling of these types of STUPID credits as “SAFE MARKATEBLE SECURITIES” is the primary agitator here. And honestly if Banks were REALLY trying to loan money for homes to people with bad credit or low incomes, there is a real simple and easy way to do it, loan people money based on their DEBT to INCOME ratio, they KNEW that, they just wanted to make a bigger buck off of the credit programs they created to supposedly “serve” the sub prime market. They took a gamble, they failed, their fault.

Why do you do THAT?

Why do you try an cover up your substantial and woeful ignorance with a puffed up persona?

It makes you appear even more ridiculous!

Sarbanes-Oxley or SOX was virtually solely responsible for the "jobless recovery" in 2002 -2003, from the recession that began with the NASDAQ implosion in the Spring of 2000.

"In March of 2005, it was estimated that it would cost a company with less than $1 billion in annual sales approximately $4 million annually to comply with SOX." ( http://www.sbnonline.com/National/Article.aspx?Category=145&CID=10012&CompanyID=37) The costs estimates have only gone up from there.

Moreover, "There was a 30 percent increase in the number of firms going private from 2002 to 2003 (the year after SOX). More recently, surveys found 21 percent of corporations considered going private over the past year."

SOX was one of the most expensive and far-reaching pieces of business regulation since the Nixon administration.

Again, WHY do you do that, especially with things that can be so easily vetted in a matter of minutes???

I NEVER said banks and brokers were "forced" to make loans.

I SAID that the government, by re-tooling the CRA in 1995, repealing Glass-Speigel in 1998 and then signing onto 0% down on FHA mortgsages and pushing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy/guarantee more and MORE subprime loans 9which they did, increasing their share of the mortgage market FROM 24% in 2000 TO just under 50% in 2007, INCENTIVIZED such reckless lending procedures.

I don't bet money in casinos, BUT, if the government gave me YOUR WALLET to gamble with....I sure would, and why not? I'm risking nothing and you, or the government, be on the hook!

Same with those bankers and brokers, ONCE Fannie and Freddie jumped into buying and bundling those subprimes into Mortgage-backed Securities, the risk was ALL on government/us taxpayers and NONE on the people making those reckless loans.

And yes....THAT'S exactly what happened.

"Credit Default swaps and the bundling of these types of STUPID credits as “SAFE MARKATEBLE SECURITIES” is the primary agitator here." (DJBA)

Your wrongly lumping two very different instruments there.

The CDS (Credit Default Swap) is a means to insure banks and brokerages that were holding large amounts of subprime/"HIGH-RISK" debt. AIG specialized in CDSs AFTER Hank Greenberg was pushed from that company.

The CDS, like the CDO (collateralized debt obligation) are private sector creations that had horrifically bad consequences.

THE, as you call it, "the bundling of these types of STUPID credits (subprime/high-risk loans)as “SAFE MARKATEBLE SECURITIES (Mortgage-backed Securities)” was a PUBLIC SECTOR (at least a quasi-public, as the GSEs were de facto government entities) concoction. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy/guarantee mortgages and bundle those as "Mortgage-backed Securities" that are then sold around the world by various investment banks.

Government backed and encouraged high-risk lending, in effect briefly legalizing the "counterfeiting of credit," and THAT is the crux of our current problem.

DJ Adam and Uptown Steve:

You two are so representative of the lazy-minded, non-thinking mindset of too many black folks. What seems to be driving you is miss-information and hatred. You buy what could only be described as the racially paranoid "old-wives tales" that black folks simply refuse to put down. Isn't it time to think, define your values, and stop making decisions based on what white people used to do to us. For crying out loud.

The sad thing about black folks today is that we really come as someone who has been used and abused and can't get past it. Decades go by and the perpetrator has gone on with their life, and the victim is still carrying the offense, wanting somebody, anybody to pay for their pain. The sad part is, nobody is able to pay for it. The only thing to do is move on. Forgive and move on. Because many of us choose to stay in bondage to resentment and hatred of white people(yes, as quite as it's kept, black folks are quite racially hateful) we are disoriented in our thinking and only punishing ourselves in our quest to punish white folks. That's why we can fall for the lies, and failures of the democratic party over and over again. Like Pavlov's dogs we unthinkingly reject anything with the name republican or conservative, even though democrats/liberal thinking are at the helm of so many failed government programs and bad societal trends. For black people to routinely vote 80-odd % percent democratic is shameful proof that we ain't thinkin' 'bout nothin' we's on auto pilot. DJ Adam and UPtown Steve, both of your arguments are symbolic of that kind of thinking. It's so sad. People like you will deserve the fallout of this Obamanation in office. It's just a shame that the rest of us will get caught up in it. Actually, the really sad part is that even as his policies fail this country, the sleeping, lazy-minded, automatons, that is the majority of black America will still find a way to blame conservatives and republicans for the mess.

I'll give you a pass because you obviously are a simple minded commoner and don't know any better.

Ab absurdo

Robert said...

No need to give me a pass, because I agree with him 100%.

DJ Black Adam said...

@Robert:

I'm sure a raving buffoon as yourself would agree with a moron.

No surprises there...

Robert said...

DJ:

Until you started to resort to the ad hominems, I respected your opinions, even though I disagreed.

When you start calling people "morons" and "buffoons," you only publicly denegrate your own character.

Resorting to name-calling shows a juvenile lack of self-control and lack of maturity.

Your opinion of me has no authority. You only hurt yourself in the public eye.

I'm sorry you could not be more intellectual.

DJ Adam:

My response to you is this: Challenge yourself. You have nothing to lose by seeking to (non-emotionally) consider another viewpoint. Your arguments here are generally based on emotion. I challenge you to think about what you really believe. What do you think about abortion, nationalized healthcare, must government really provide us with cradle-to-grave security, how much are you willing to pay in taxes for inefficient services? Think about the things that matter to you not only as a black person, but as a human being and a hardworking one. Do some research on where democrats and republicans stand(although I'm conservative myself, Republicans generally come closer to upholding my views)on those issues. We are more than just Black, we are fully human and care about a wide range of issues. Finally, consider what big-government has meant historically.
Let go of the hate and anger, it only leads to high blood pressure and heart attacks. Hey, maybe it's not the poverty that leads to blacks having a shorter lifespan. Maybe, just maybe, it's all the anger we unneccessarily carry around.
Just the thoughts of a moron....I'm done.

That is an interesting perspective.

No, actually I was publicly insulting someone who felt the need to cosign on the statements of someone who was insulting me, if the shoe fits say ouch and where it, otherwise you might just want to assert YOUR opinion if you don't want to be taken to task for cosigning on the b/s of others.

It is what it is, your "respect" is not sought or required.

Shalom

Robert said...

DJ:

Your need to publically insult shows lack of character. What is worse you even admit to it.

I was merely agreeing with the brother's factual points without me insulting anyone.

Again, your opinion of me has no authority at all and is none of my concern. If you love to resort to juvenile name calling for the world to see, then there is no basis for a rational conversation.

UTS~"Are you suggesting that I don't take care of my family?

Only black conservatives do?'


Stop trying to pick another fight with me...I am not saying that and I made that clear which is why I said:"One who is taking care of his family and focuses on racism to the point where he is unable to reason or think clearly?"

UTS, I implore you to just think about what has been said in this thread without getting angerier and tell us (Myself, Robert & Anonymous) what it is we are missing that you and DJBA get.

Like whom?

I still don't understand the question?
