Conservative Black Woman: What's Up With Al Sharpton & Sylvia's?

What's Up With Al Sharpton & Sylvia's?

Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg has lunch with Rev. Al Sharpton at Sylvia's today. I find this utterly absurd for a couple of reason. First, why do all pandering democrats feel compelled to dine with Al Sharpton? Isn't Hillary's seat going to be filled by appointment from the governor and not an election? So why does she need to sup with Sharpton? I use to tire of all of these self-appointed black leaders but it really doesn't matter. It seems black folks don't even realize they are being marginalized -- so have at it Rev. . Secondly, why does he always take these idiots who seek an audience with him to Sylvia's? Do they bring him a compulsory watermelon as a gift of appreciation too? Is the good Reverend's palate so indiscriminate that he can't eat any grubbage other that soul food? Don't get me wrong I'm all about baked macaroni and cheese, collards, and smothered chicken but Sharpton's photo opps at Sylvia's are bordering on the absurd. Way to perpetuate the chitlin' eatin' negro sterotype Rev. Sharpton!

JudyBright said...: I wonder who initiates these meetings. Does someone who has made a racial gaffe (like Don Imus) or someone who needs to get in good with the black community approach Sharpton, or does he approach them?; December 18, 2008 at 6:46 PM
Conservative Black Woman said...: JudyBright~I'm not sure who initiates these mtgs. Who appointed Al Sharpton spokesperson of all black people, and why aren't black folks outraged that whitefolks actually believe that Al Sharpton has any influence over their minds. Like I said sheer absurdity.; December 19, 2008 at 9:27 AM

Lol so true..

"and why aren't black folks outraged that whitefolks actually believe that Al Sharpton has any influence over their minds."

That is a great point.; December 19, 2008 at 3:38 PM

Unknown said...: I would have suggested the Harlem Juice Bar -- health food at it's best and run by black folks... why stick to the usual unhealthy cuisine?

Rev Al will go away when we stop making him news.; December 21, 2008 at 12:36 PM

About

Don't let the title of this blog deceive you. Yes, I'm a Conservative Black Woman -- Not to be confused with Republican Black Woman. At this point I am in fact a Political Atheist. I believe with every fiber of my being that America is no longer a Constitutional Republic but rather a Corporate Fascist Oligarchy. Our Presidents are just the puppets, tools, spokespersons for the Powers that Be...Council of Foreign Relations and various other NGO's who are beholden to the International Banking Cabal. No, I'm not a Conspiracy Theorist -- I am a Conspiracy Researcher and I'd advise you to do the same. Who said "I would not have you ignorant?" Yes, that's my "handler" for all of those who think I have one. Over the course of writing this blog. My paradigm has shifted ENTIRELY. Yes, the paragraph below still applies but the Left\Right, Democrat\Republican head fake no longer applies to me. I WOKE UP!!!!

"I am fed up with what has happening within the black community. Too many of our families are broken, too many of us are morally degenerate and too many of us are willing to blame all of our pathology on slavery, George Bush, the Republican party or anything but our failures as Parents, Husbands, Wives and Christians."

My Favorite Quotations.....

Truth is scarcely found. But integrity and truth are hardly found within the Black population as a whole at least not where it involves black people. Most blacks have pledged allegiance to their blackness, not truth, not to America, not even to God as many profess. Integrity and truth has to go out the window if it somehow poses a threat to the "positive" image of blackness. ~Anonymous

Regarding Obama's hit on Gadhafi's family: "He's spineless and shameless, except when his masters unleash him on people of color. Then he becomes a pit bull--a real life Sambo/Quimbo doing the dirty work of Simon Legree. TPTB knew exactly what they were doing when they "selected" Obama to manage their psychopathocracy." ~ Makheru Bradley

"Whenever I hear cats start talking that "community" shit I know they are not serious. No one is accountable in conversations about "da community". That "we as a people"... Plantation Negro segmentation nonsense is Kool-Aid left over from the 70's. It perpetuates the illusion that there is even such a thing as a "black community". There aint no "community" and hasn't been in 40 years. Most Negros don't even know their neighbors."The only effective group is FAMILY. Families are the cells of a society. Destruction of the cell is cancer. An effective institution, expectation and habit of marriage is the antidote." ~Denmark Vesey(A Bloggin' Beast!!!!)

The irony of having an economic system that you hate be the source of your entitlement that is in excess of your productive capacity. -- Constructive Feedback (Blogger Extraordinaire)

Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion – in the long run, these are the only people who count. -Robert A. Heinlein

Illumination of the above Frederick Douglass quote by blogger extraordinaire Constructive Feedback

With all due respect to this great I am not sure that he could have imagined the day where:

"Non-justice" is delivered by the hands of favorable officials with racial diversity that realize "Black on Black violence" is not seen as "violent" as other modalities
Where allowing "ignorance to prevail" is a favorable strategy for the retention of power by those who position themselves as saviors
Where "conspiracy theories" are effective tools to allow people to remain unified against an external threat - even when it has moved away and they are all by themselves - otherwise having to manage the human resources before them toward a more conscious end.

In this environment - Robbery, the oppression of intimidation, and degradation put in the form of a music genre lead to an inevitable condition of insecurity for persons and property.
