Notice that no conservative blacks were even invited.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I saw portions of this...there was a 300 lb. doctor saying that more than 50% of bankruptcies were due to catastrophic medical bills and calling for universal health care as a solution.

I contrast this with Newt Gingrich's AEI forum where he talked about diabetes being the #1 medical issue facing the United States, and calling for more nutrition education and medical spending accounts...

Princeton professor Cornel West, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan, the Rev. Al Sharpton, political strategist Donna Brazile, civil rights leader the Rev. Joseph Lowery and Dr. Joycelyn Elders, former U.S. surgeon general, were among the high-profile panelists.

Arranged in a casual living room conversation grouping with a dozen overstuffed armchairs on stage..."

The first paragraph almost makes the "overstuffed armchairs" statement redundant. Where was Jesse?

I definately noticed. It was the State of the Liberal Black Union but consider some of the speakers... Louis Farrakhan (murderer of Malcolm X imho), Jocelyn Elders, Jesse Jackson...Tavis Smiley was a smug ass and basically threw down a gauntlet to anyone black who dares to question democratic,liberal principles. Agree or be cast out of the 'black community' with that whole come correct or don't come at all crap. No one askes themselves why after liberals got involved in the civil rights movement did the lives of black people take such a pitiful turn.

Where was Jesse?

He was there.

You know the most dangerous place in the world to be is between Jesse Jackson and a television camera...

This panel could not be a valid one without someone like Rev. Jesse Peterson, Thomas Sowell, Ward Connerly, Dr. Walter Williams, and Michael King (ever heard of him?) on it.

Imagine Jesse Jackson and Chuck Schumer and only one camera.

When Black liberals talk about personal responsibility, it is like the old line about a dog walking on its hind legs: one is not surprised to see that it done poorly, but that it is done at all.

I stomached a few hours of this on CSPAN. It was tough.

I saw part of this on C-Span, Jesse Jackson and Chuck Schumer were part of a second forum that took place after the first.

Jesse and Chuck on the same stage, but multiple cameras.

Imagine so many black liberals they had to shoo the first group off stage to bring on more.

Strange, my fiancee's bankrupcy was caused by catastrophic credit card bills and a 300lb. ex that stole her money for beer and parties... and she still voted for John Kerry.

I watched much of this on C-span yesterday. Interesting how farrahkan kept alluding to himself as a Baptist preacher who seemed pretty much to be for a segregated society. None of the speakers seemed to be willing to call themselves Americans without the usual hyphenation, but want their own little niche in American society.

What a circle jerk this was! All left wingers, all pimping black folks so as appear to be "leaders of the black community" so as to be able to skim something from the dems and their backers. McDonald's and Kaiser Permanente sposored it and you can bet that black leaches like Jesse got a nice honorarium for showing up.

So, they'll give their "contract" to the dems who'll tell them, "Wonderful, we'll look at it later," and invite Jesse to speak at the convention. The good guys will say, "Sure, but what have you done that would make us put some of YOUR items ahead of OUR items?"

The blacks will do what their pimp masters tell them in 2008 and vote 90% for whatever skank candidate the dems trot out.

Smiley's effort was like the members of a local union preparimg a list of negotiating positions. The union officers are going to do what they want. And, all you get is gimmees.

Why is it, apparently, a black issue separate from the rest of the population?

Asians, Hispanics, American Indians Whites etc don't get ill?

I watched alot of it. It was a disgusting thinly veiled display of anti-white racism, paranoia and conspiracy theories. In short all of the problems of blacks result from whites. Blacks were told to avoid white doctors, white medicine, white foods, white education and white hospitals. The US is a racist society, hospitals don't cure people because they make money off the sick, blacks get aids because whites don't educate them properly, etc. These people are seriously delusional and forums like the one broadcast yesterday do nothing but promote black hatred of whites and make blacks look like lunatics. McDonalds, Kaiser Permanente, and CSPAN should be ashamed of being involved in this.

That's right, and if you're a black man who dares to express a different opinion, women will start coming out of the woodwork with molestation and rape accusations.
