Many African-Americans
concerned about Obama’s
focus on immigrant rights

McClatchy Newspapers, by William Douglas and Franco Ordonez

Original Article

Posted By:earlybird, 2/12/2013 9:26:29 AM

WASHINGTON — No sooner did President Barack Obama and a group of senators separately outline proposals to revamp the nation’s immigration system than the phone lines on several African-American-oriented talk radio shows heated up with callers blasting the plans. “Amnesty,” complained Frankie from Maryland recently on the nationally syndicated “Keeping it Real with Al Sharpton.” (Snip) “Our issues are not being highlighted and pushed, and things like gay marriage and (immigration) are being pushed to the forefront,” the caller said. “Hispanics are effectively organized. For us not to be organized and for us not to hold our leadership accountable

Comments:
When you deal in special interest pandering politics, thisis what you get...with Al Sharpton et al stirring the pot.

The community is restless. He "owes" them:

FTA:

Bernard Anderson, an Obama supporter and a former assistant labor secretary during Bill Clinton’s presidency, recently told an African-American economic summit at Washington’s Howard University that African-Americans should no longer give Obama “a pass” on dealing with issues that directly impact their community.

“He is not going to run again for anything. He does not deserve a pass anymore,” Anderson said. “Let him not only find his voice but summon his courage and use his political capital to address racial inequality. He owes that to the African-American.”

Obama has the majority black support no matter what he does. He does not have to please them to get their vote. He must pander for the immigrant vote for the dem party. He must also make up phony womens´ issues to get the vote of uninformed, low information women voters.

Don´t worry minority voters, he got your vote and does not need you now. Shut up and get out of his way until the next election when the dems need your votes.

When a group can be relied upon to vote 95+% based solely on race or party, then don´t expect any favors. Votes are to be bought and the AA community has sold their votes as cheap as possible. However, the competition, Hispanics, have not reliably sold their votes. Thus, the Dems will sacrifice the AA community in order to buy Hispanic votes. It’s just good old fashion competition. If the AA community wants to now compete with illegals for the jobs available to them, then continue to sell the AA community votes for next to nothing. Oh, and playing the race card isn´t going to work on Illegals. They cdon´t care and feel tey are discriminated by AAs.

"Our issues"? One could puke.

"Immigrant rights"? One could puke.

"Address racial inequality"? Well, after I puke, I´ll ask Mr. Anderson a question or two. Explain where that "racial inequality" exists. If you refer to a racial group that often has higher unemployment and lower incomes than another racial group, maybe members of that first group too-frequently bring far fewer positives and far more negatives to employers? Maybe? Maybe some critical negatives are self-selected? Maybe another critical negative [let´s see... who´s on the right slope? who´s on the left slope?] cannot possibly be addressed by any gov´t policy? Maybe?

FTA: ...African-Americans who gave him 93 percent of their vote.... Some members of the Congressional Black Caucus are quietly seething because Obama hasn’t met with the 42-member group since May 13, 2011. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla. .... said the black caucus sent the White House the names of 61 potential candidates for positions in a second-term administration.... "Not one of that 61 was selected – not one"....

Let´s see -- a population segment acted stupidly, and is now unhappy about being treated as though stupid. I think that´s it. Alcee? H-e-l-l-o-o-o? [Alcee, stupid enough to get impeached and removed, is surprised he´s stupid enough to get fleeced. Heh, heh, heh.]

FTA - “Hispanics are effectively organized. For us not to be organized and for us not to hold our leadership accountable is disheartening.”

In other words, we want our piece of the pie. Division of the spoils of war. So that´s how it ends; a race to the bottom of the barrel for a country that was founded on a higher vision, that was once was a light to the world.

Obama is exotic, never raised in America, and has none of its values. So black, aka African Americans, can just get used to the fact that he does not give a d--- about you. Obama is interested in communism, climate change, immigration to perpetuate Obama power, and gay rights to legitimize his and Mooch´s marriage.

Blacks have insisted on following the victimology route courtesy of the sharptons, jacksons, and farrakhans. They consistently vote democrat, enabling the continuation of the eugenics program fostered by planned parenthood. They ensure their becoming a demographic of shrinking significance.

What´s an African American? Is that someone who used to live in Africa but is now a naturalized citizen? Also Africa is a continent and not a country and contains all different colors of people so how can this label apply only to black Americans and for that matter why are so many Americans buying into this fake deliberately racist divisive label?

So again I pose the question what is an African American? Can someone point out a prominent "African American" as an example?

Reply 23 is spot on. Blacks have been severely impacted by the illegal alien invasion. mexicans have taken jobs away from blacks. What´s more, the overwhelming supply of cheap laborers have driven down wages for unskilled and semi-skilled jobs which is demoralizing for blacks who can´t find work that pays a living wage. The descendants of slaves have paid the biggest price for our politicians corrupt open border policies. The concern expressed by African-Americans on this topic is 35 years too late.

And the Lord said "for all things give thanks..." Are the blacks aware what ´the war on poverty´ was all about? It was about trying to float the standard of living for blacks, to make them more equal by creating lower levels of achievement for them so they could ´more fairly´ compete. But have they? Trillions of dollars have been squandered on this ´war´ that cannot and will not be won because the objects of this fight want it all given to them with no effort on their part. Obama has continued helping by giving unemployment monies away for example, without anyone seeking employment...what a deal. Trillions spent with what results? Highest unemployment, highest illegitimate rate in the country with over 75% of ´fatherless´ babies and highest percentage rate of jailed felons. With nothing to crow about they support a black president with over 94% of their votes and can´t say or know why other than he is black. Now another ethnic group is getting rewarded for their votes with strong support and the black ´leadership´ wants to know ´where´s ours ?" How much more do you want? You are like used paper cups, no longer needed...you did your job now shut up and go away till you are needed again...feels good don´t it? By the way, where are the thanks for all you have already gotten?

These are trying times. Never in the history of this country have we been so weakened and polarized by what many view as deliberate government policy. Now anti-gunners in the U.S. Congress, the Obama administration, and legislatures across the country are seeking to exploit the Newtown tragedy to promote their “gun control” agenda that envisions federal, universal background checks on gun purchases, and that could lead to gun registration and confiscation. At the same time, the increasing militarization of law enforcement, most visibly demonstrated by the growing use of massive, SWAT-type raids on businesses and individuals, sometimes with federal

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
