By going through with his speech to the U.S. Congress about Iran's nuclear program, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not just insulting President Barack Obama. He's also dissing generations of African-Americans and Jewish Americans who have always worked together for equality and justice.
For political reasons, Netanyahu went behind Obama's back and struck a deal with John Boehner, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, to embarrass our commander in chief.
Bibi might as well have given his speech before the white knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Boehner's invitation has nothing to do with Iran's nuclear program. His only motivation is to make Obama look bad because he can't stand the reality of a black president. Now Netanyahu's actions could hurt decades of cooperation between blacks and Jews in this country.
Since the 1960s, African-Americans and Jewish Americans have stood together fighting for civil rights. Sometimes they paid the price with their lives, like the 1964 Klan murders of James Earl Chaney and Jewish New York City activists Andrew Goodman and Michael "Mickey" Schwerner in Mississippi.
We've continued standing together. When black people took to the streets in New York City to protest the recent deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of police officers, Hasidic Jews joined the demonstrations. Netanyahu is now putting that relationship in danger by aligning himself with Boehner, the most arrogant politician on Capitol Hill, whose hatred of Obama is so deep, he doesn't care if his actions ruin our country. He's nothing more than a Klansman with an orange tan.
What Netanyahu has done is the equivalent of Obama accepting an invitation from the Palestinian Liberation Front to talk about Republicans destroying the Affordable Healthcare Act. Of course, Obama is nobody's fool.

This line from DeWayne Wickham’s column ( which Rep. James Clyburn apparently agrees with ) says it all:
“By agreeing to sidestep normal diplomatic channels to address Congress, Netanyahu has become an instrument of a Republican Party that has shown an unbridled, personal disrespect for Obama, his wife and children since this black family moved into the building many Republicans apparently think is literally a white house.”
What total crap !
Wow... just wow...
Segregation, along ideological lines, is a must in this country, though the liberals would never allow a state or group of people to exist that didn’t comply with their beliefs.
Very like Muslims.
Is he the same Luther Campbell who was the leader of “2-Live-Crew” or however it was “spelled”?
If so, he is worthless and so are his ideas.
Then why are many of the congressional negro members mancotting the speech?
These people are so color blinded that they can’t possibly conceive of the idea that we oppose Obama because
HE’S WRONG, not because he’s non-reflective.
The truth is, Progressive Leftists are opposed to individual liberty as defined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The only real complaint they have about chattel slavery in America two hundred years ago is that the slaves were privately owned.
But they get orgasmic over the idea of slavery to the state.
Democrats never pass up on opportunity to tell us why enslavement by the state is for our own protection and our own safety, because life under the anarchy that conservatives want to impose is just too risky and dangerous. We can't have any of that inhumane "on-your-own economics" that conservatives advocate.
Thereby proving that you no longer have to be black to be an Uncle Tom.
Luther Campbell the Rap guy from the 90s?
Regardless, this is the thought process today of 90% of American Blacks. Hatred for all that do not submit to their every whim.
Rev. Manning standing up against Imam in the White House.
The speech is not for an hour.
Black Caucus members planning not to attend include Chairman G.K. Butterfield of North Carolina, Rep. Andre Carson of Indiana, Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, Rep. Donna Edwards of Maryland, Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas and Rep. Barbara Lee of California.
I don't think so! What is good for the goose...
Is this satire?
...and how much did bambaboy pay the Miami newspaper to write this article?....
This is a total crap article, how shameful!!!
Among individuals identified by Politico who will NOT be attending the speech are Rep. Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent, of Maine, and Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii and Sen. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico.
Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon, Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado, Rep. Raúl Grijalva of Arizona and Rep. Luis Gutiérrez of Illinois also plan to sit the speech out.
Wonder if the Jews in America can put 2 and 2 together on this or will they continue to vote for the Party of Hate?
Pray America is waking
