Tavis Smiley says the President is ignoring blacks, the "most loyal" part of his base who "ought to be looked out for." Smiley spoke to NBC's Lester Holt. In April, Smiley said the 2012 elections will be "the most racist in the history of this Republic.
"It's just not that black folks are hurting the most now. It's that there's no sign that it's going to get any better. There really are two questions in black America, I think, Lester, have to wrestle with. At least two questions. Number one: what is the pain threshold in black America? What is our pain threshold, number one. And number two, what is the presidency really worth? Is it worth not saying anything? Is it worth being silent when you're catching the most hell, when you're suffering the most pain? Especially, when you're the most loyal part of the President's base," Smiley said.
"That's not hating on the President, it's defending your own flanks. And whatever happened to that notion that to the victor goes the spoils? If anybody ought to be looked out for, it ought to be the persons who represent the most significant and the most loyal part of the base. That would be African-Americans."

“Only a delusional ignoramus loser would spout garbage like that.”
I think Tavis, like the rest of his base, thought with Obama at the helm, they could take whatever their poisonous hearts desired. So Obama has truly disappointed them. But this hasn’t stop many in his base from flash mobbing to take what they want while destroying businesses, and disrupting state fairs with extreme violence.
Sad, but truthfully, I look out for young black males anytime I see more than two together.
Racist, maybe, but I call it being aware.
Tavis wants some MORE of that OBama money..
Maybe Pigford gone Porcine.. some Barry Half-White Pork Belly.. “thick-cut”
It’s remarkable that somebody as openly racist as Tavis Smiley can be considered socially acceptable, all because he has that “good” anti-white racism.
It’s RACIST to hold Eric Holder’s people to the same standards as everybody else, but don’t you DARE say they are inferior, right Tawana?
Ewwwww. Agreed. Must remove visual before bed tho.
How much more can they be cared for? This whole issue is becoming a joke at the mentality of blacks.
I actually had a black co-worker tell me he had expected Obie to allow blacks from public housing to move into foreclosed home since they were more entitled to them than the banks!
What is wrong with these people?
The "spoils" were doled out in the original stimulus package and in the backroom deals made to buy Obamacare votes. Problem is, the victories ceased once this admin's policies were implemented. Your time is up.
“What is wrong with these people?”
You tell me; I have no idea on how thie mentality can possibly exist since it is entirely lacking in logic. Their behavior is kind of like that of a hyperactive kid that runs amok and there is only a single parent restraining the kid from going utterly insane and out of control. The US government has been that parent and now that the parent has begin to perversly encourage this, blacks are now utterly and irredeemably out of control. If you don’t mind my saying, this country is being burned out through having to control these miscreants and these people have been constnatly in our care for far too long. It’s ridiculous and quite frankly exhausting.
All this energy we spend coddling blacks could be spent innovating, moving ahead, remodeling this country and sustaining it. All the money we blow on them, is less money for our space program, our police, our schools, our pretty much everything and go figure, we can’t do that because we have to placate these leeches. If we didn’t have the trillion dollar welfare payouts and the billion dollar extortion black ‘organizations,’ there wouldn’t be so much of a deficit in our treasury, would there?
For a man named ‘Smiley’, I almost never see him smiling.
Nobody is stopping Tavis from using some of his money to “look out” for as many blacks as he can afford.
How is he different from the people who thought they had to look out for their “little brown brothers?”
“It’s just not that black folks are hurting the most now. It’s that there’s no sign that it’s going to get any better.”
Choices have consequences. It was the choice of many blackes to become dependent on the government, to redefine the family as a single parent with many children, and to ignore the benefits of education. He’s right. There is no sign that it will get any better —until personal responibility comes into play.
Its already been established and well-documented who the real racists are. Look out for your own damn selves.
Tavis: “....’cuz God knows, blacks can’t look after themselves”.
And sadly, most of them will never get ahead due to their own ignorance and blind faith in the Rat Party. For many, it’s destined to be their ‘ball and chain’ forever.
