“Mr. Kunta, tear down this fence!”
Not Reagan’s exact words. But heck, I’ll take the credit.
Apparently, the fence that divided people in the Black community as “haters” and “authentic Black folks” is starting to come down.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The White House unveiled Thursday the first hard data on how many jobs the $787 billion recovery act has created.
So far, 30,383 jobs have been created by companies that have gotten $2.2 billion worth of stimulus contracts directly from the federal government. That equates to $71,500 per job based on just [...]
US actually increasing personnel in Iraq: More contractors, fewer troops (rawstory.com)
US forces are not withdrawing from Iraq.
Well, its soldiers are. But not civilian contractors. Despite President Barack Obama’s pledge to withdraw US troops from the war-torn country, the US is planning to award contracts to protect US installations at a cost to taxpayers that could [...]
When South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson shouted the words “You lie” to President Obama during his recent speech to both houses, as expected he was flambéed as “that racist White guy from South Carolina” who did not exercise proper decorum. While I personally may not have chosen Wilson’s tactic, he clearly had a point. Why? [...]
From jump, Obama has been compared to the Black embodiment of Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy. He also has been portrayed as the fulfillment of Martin Luther King Jr’s dream. When Senator Ted Kennedy died, political commentator Chris Matthews declared that Obama was now a “last Kennedy”.
From day one, the Obama [...]
Just some closing point on Van Jones~
#Jones said that he was a victim of a “vicious smear campaign” against him. So now it is considered a “smear” if your past comments and actions are repeated to the public.
#I we all expected, Van Jones’ departure is being blamed on race. The left is gonna burn up [...]
Maaaaaaan! Folks aren’t letting up on ol’ Van “Black Belt” Jones. Either it was just out of pure arrogance behind this Obama appointment or their vetting process was just completely non-existent. I’m inclined to believe that it is a mixture of both. From his admission of being a communist back in 1992 to his plethora [...]

The Profit$ of War
A. Defense Fills Democratic Coffers
B. In February of this year, President Obama ordered 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan. In May, he would not rule out the possibility to send more. The same anti-war crowd that helped put Obama in office is naturally pissed.

It was co-written by John [...]
The Obama fan base is once again impressed with the talking points coming straight out of the White House this week. The latest “rabbit outta my hat trick” involves the claim that Obama’s new fuel efficiency standards will save 1.8 billion barrels of oil by requiring cars to average 35.5 miles per gallon. Sounds very [...]
I know folks out there are excited about our country having the first Black President, but you still have to be careful not to simply repeat talking points from the White House without challenging them. I was on one site yesterday afternoon and folks have fully accepted the claim that the economy is “recovering”.
Huh?
Notice I [...]
