While flipping through the channels with my remote, I stopped on the movie, Diary of a Mad Black Woman on BET (Black Entertainment Television). Excellent movie. During a commercial break, they gave a news update. An announcer said, They tried to get the Bronx kid, Sonia Sotomayor, but she beat them. There was not one mention of Sotomayor's controversial racist statements. Thus, ill-informed black viewers who don't follow the news closely are led to conclude that those evil racist white republicans are at it again trying to block a person of color. I wonder how BET reported the democrat's trashing of black, Clarence Thomas and Hispanic, Alberto Gonzalez? Well, those two traitors deserved to be trashed. How dare they prosper without Affirmative Action and lowered standards contradicting the democrat's victim-hood rhetoric. Education, hard work and character? Heck No! We can not allow such a conservative message to influence black youths. These Uncle Toms must be destroyed! Then, the announcer praised Obama for his surgeon general nominee, Regina Benjamin, a black woman. Again, no mention of Benjamin's politics, which are far left. The report glowingly praised Benjamin for her wonderful work helping victims of hurricane Katrina. Call me crazy, but I believe they even super-imposed a subtle halo over her head. Just kidding. However, ANY opposition to Benjamin will be reported as more racism from those freaking S.O.B republicans.
Folks, this is so wrong and a huge disservice to African Americans. Urban radio is also guilty of unfair and unbalanced liberal favored reporting. No wonder Obama received 90% of the black vote. No wonder Black Americans do not have a clue regarding what is truly going on in our country. All they are fed is Obama good. White racist republicans bad. Why does black media continue giving aid and comfort to the real enemies of minority progress?
With the majority of black Americans getting their news from black and white liberal biased media, there is very little chance of them hearing the truth. Fortunately, I escaped the liberal plantation in the early 90s when I was exposed to Rush Limbaugh. Listening to Rush introduced me to brilliant black conservatives like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams. I thought, Why haven't these guys been featured on Oprah or honored at the NAACP awards?
Answer: These blacks are paradigm breakers. They do not fit the we are black, thus special concessions must be made for us template.
So, how do we get the truth to black America? There are numerous modestly funded conservative black organizations; Project 21, National Black Republican Association and CURE to name a few. Recently, RagingElephants.Org made the liberals crazy with outrage over their MLK was a Republican billboard. I loved it! But, we need much, much more, bold, in your face messages. These courageous black patriots need your support.
Emancipation. Revelation. Revolution. won Best Cutting Edge Film at the NOIR Film festival 2006. The documentary chronicles the civil rights movement in America and the role that both major political parties played in it. This extremely revealing and educating film has yet to receive major exposure (ERRvideo.com).
I am president of the NAACPC, National Association for the Advancement of Conservative People of Color. At first, I rejected the position for the same reasons I rejected joining a Black Republican Club. I thought, we are all Americans with the same concerns and desires for our country and families. So, why is a black group necessary? I still do not personally feel the need to belong to a black republican club, but to republican blacks who do, fine. All efforts to set blacks free have my full support.
However, my NAACPC is about educating, not just black America, but ALL Americans to the truth that conservatism is the most direct and fulfilling route to achieving the American Dream.
There are incidents in the Bible when God removed the scales from the eyes of individuals enabling them to see and receive the truth. This is my prayer for a blinded by liberalism Black America.

But my stepdad (a trucker) and many others knew the truth. We were told always to write "Secretary of State" and never "Paul Powell" on any checks for drivers licenses, etc. He actually took those checks home and cashed them for himself. At $5-$15 per check - typical in the 1960s, that would be about a million checks that got diverted. Obviously, the bank cashing the checks also had to know.
I agree with you, however when it is all about race, the failures become about race as well.
“People are not defined by the color of their skin.”
While that should be true, it is not. Just ask the current USSC nominee and the current first family.
God Bless YOU and God Bless the USA!!
I am black and I think that Obama will be the worst president since Jimmy Carter. Also I know many other blacks who feel the same way.

The left destroyed an entire RACE through welfare. Now it’s the Mexicans turn, as blacks have not been able to breed quickly enough to ensure democrats of incontestable elections. Of course all taxpayers need do is FINANCE the whole thing and endure the crime, drugs and 13 child, fatherless families! Evidently this is part of that “richness of experience” we are supposed to believe makes some people better judges!
Lloyd, thank you for the work you do helping people upwards instead of keeping them suppressed. America is the land of opportunity for all, and that message needs to be laid out for all to see. Hard work, education, character. Not an end in itself, but the best means to an end.
The Democratic Party - keepin the black folk down on the plantation.
All of them are "Hispanic".
I said he was a fake from day one.
Sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine. He made a generalization. Sure, there are black people who don't toe the Sharpton/Jesse/NAACP/BET line. But with Obama getting something like 90% or more of the black vote, one has to say that it is generally true that most black people did/do support Obama, Sotomayor and his policies.
Sorry, but it just gripes me when I see someone take a generalization as meaning EVERY SINGLE PERSON. Obviously the author did not intend to mean EVERY SINGLE BLACK PERSON. If he did, then his article was pointless.
The last guy’s a former politician.
