U.S. pulling out of racism conference WTF!

When I first saw this I thought it wasn't true but alas I was sorely mistaken.

Cynthia McKinney was right on the case, the sister didn't miss a beat.
she said,

"When Eric Holder, the new U.S. Attorney General called the nation to account for its historic reluctance to honestly talk about race and racism, its manifestations and consequences, he could have been talking about his boss the president. By withdrawing from the UN Conference on Racism he is leading backwards, in the direction of Clinton and Bush rather than forward into the 21st century. The fact that the President of Change wan't bring himself -- or us --- to an honest discussion about race says a lot for his willingness to lead on the subject."

She also said,

"But Obama's willingness to cave in the face of white racism and business as usual is no excuse for the Congressional Black Caucus, supposedly among the best and brightest Black America has to offer. It's time for the CBC to step up where the president has stepped back."

Where do we the people stand on this issue? It's time we stand up and be counted and speak up for the changes that we can believe in, these politicians will never get it unless we put our 85 cents in.

Jared Ball presents - Amiri Baraka, Tom Porter, Rosa Clemente Debate Electoral Politics

 Jared Ball on his program Midday Jazzn'nJustice presents a firey, stimulating discussion which we should all be listening to. The speakers bring a miriad of ideas to the table, they have different approaches, they are discussing issues and strategies which we all can benefit by hearing. The discussion gets hot and heavy now and again  but as "warm-blooded people" we can handle it. :)

 The more we involve ourselves in discussions such as this, the more we will be able to formulate a strategy to empower ourselves. Yes it takes more than talking but we do need to communicate enough to get on the same page. 

 Props to prof Ball.

Cynthia McKinney Not In the News!!!

  One of the most outspoken political voices in America, Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney appears to be absent from the media radar. What is going on? She must really be hitting the nail on the head to be so thoroughly left out of the public view.  Ms McKinney's absence from the airwaves is too blatant to be an oversight.  I have to ask again WHY? Why is the media so shy about reporting  on her campaign? I have seen many instances of her activity on the internet.

Click here for examples that someone has presented  of her activities. IMO She is working tirelessly to fullfill her responsibilty as the Green Party presidential candidate, yet the media behaves as if she's not there at all. This to me is one of those things that makes you go hmmm.

 Is it possible that Cynthia is so close to the truth that she is being blacked out in order to prevent her from planting that seed in all of our minds? Is it that there is a fear that she as a true agent for change is going to attract a larger following than they'd like? A third party could really cause a shakeup in the way things are being run.

 Whatever it is we'd better get to the bottom of it because media is due foa a major overhaul very soon.
