Blacks act as if they are half the population....true. Time for Hispanics to take the place Blacks have occupied since the sixties.
Apparently you have not read about Rev JJ'$$$ new plan$$S for "di$enfranchi$ed" Black people (/snix).
Rev Jackson: Black Voters Deserve A Return On Election ‘Investment’
WBBM-AM / FR Posted by 2ndDivisionVet
EXCERPT The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Saturday said that President Obama’s reelection was “a great victory,” but that it would be incomplete with a reconstruction of urban America and an investment in the communities where the blacks who voted overwhelmingly for the president live. “We’re happy and full of pride,” in the president’s reelection, Jackson told the crowd at the Saturday morning forum at Rainbow/PUSH headquarters, 930 E. 50th St., “but our houses remain raggedy … our schools remain closed.” Despite attempts at voter suppression in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, Jackson said, blacks turned out en masse to vote, enduring waits that stretched into hours in many places. “We waited, we voted, we believed,” Jackson said. “Now we want to get well. “We voted early, we voted long. Our votes won,” he said. --SNIP--

I guess Rev JJ thinks O is off to a good start (/snix):
O's billion dollar stimulus was strictly for the 47%'s entitlements and public sector budgets......BUT ONLY in states that were re/electing democrats. The money is gone but public sector got 2 years worth of budget goodies out of it........as O schemes to have the rest of us pay and pay and pay.
And howz'about O's other billion dollar fraud (one that we know of)---"minority" farmers getting federal payouts without having to prove they even raised a radish?
This will fail. If we allow Hispanics to move to the forefront of minority discussions, we will find that they are willing to work hard for what they get and that they are socially much more conservative than Blacks.
Remember how posters like you, me, TenneseeNana, etc. would get excoriated for posting this stuff? That was all under George Bush.
Remember how I used to post this about Bush wanting to create "a new America" and people would freak out and say I was a racist nut job?
That "new America" thing sounds a lot like "transform America" now doesn't it?
For old time's sake here it is one more time:
| We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. Our future cannot be separated from the future of Latin America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000. |
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.
