54 Ways to Say "I Love You" In Africa
Black Leaders Support Gov. Paterson
Black leaders, led by Rev. Al Sharpton, came out to support the embattled New York Gov. David Paterson yesterday. While there were some who felt Paterson should indeed resign for his alleged interference in a domestic violence case and unethical use of gift money, the majority of the leaders believe the governor should be allowed due process, understanding that he is innocent until proven guilty. Many think the support Paterson has received from leaders in the black community has bought the governor time. For his part, Paterson still maintains his innocence but is mum about the particulars of his case due to legalities. [AP]

I guess it's nice to have support of your fellow politicians, activists, but I can't co-sign no "foolishness" I don't give a funk whom it is. Whether he's black, white, purple, green with polka dots. Govenor Paterson's interference with the domestic case was out of line. I am sure he received the Yankee World Series tickets as a courtesy, because he is the governor of New York State.

It would not surprize me in the least to learn that the same set of misguided individuals are "high fiving" Congressman Charlie Rangel, former Congressman William Jefferson, etc., etc., all being misfits, who have truly been a disgrace to the essense of what it means to be an elected official!

......Reality speaks differently, in that it is not the Tea Baggers, the Republican Party, Conservatives, former President George Bush, the Bush Administration, etc., etc., but rather the ineptness of the Black community itself, and/or Democratic Party affiliated leaders, which includes President Barack Obama who are the problem!

Surely Ann, you can do better than that, to make statements that lack basis, to defend your idol no good President Barack "the Magic Negro" Obama, the deceitful Democratic Congressional Black Caucus, booted off the "Ways and Means Committee" no good Congressman Charles Rangel, etc., etc.
......Truth can be posted, stated, published time and time again, and still hold validity.

Danny Bakewell takes over Sentinel
Both Poverty pimping Reverend Jesse Jackson and Poverty Pimping Al Sharpton are small potatoes compared with the likes of the no good Poverty Pimping Danny Bakewell, Sr.
An October 1997 profile in New Times Los Angeles ran under the headline "Godfather of South Central: If Race-Baiting Were a Sport, Black Activist Danny Bakewell Would Be in the Olympics." The story made light of the fear that Bakewell inspires in LA --even among the powerful. It quotes other Black political leaders (who refused to be named) saying things like: "What makes Danny detestable is that he panders to the worst instincts, to the conspiratorial delusions of African-Americans. He tells you that The Man will never give you a chance, that The Man will do everything to stymie you. But at the same time, he has enormously enriched himself in the same system he tells you cannot trust.
"The white businessmen he deals with, of course, see Danny differently, they see him as a reasonable partner. You can be sure he''s not sitting at lunch with them calling them white racist pigs. What makes Danny downright dangerous is just how much power his money gives him."
Another article described Bakewell as a "poverty pimp." Following its publication, he sued New Times and the reporter for defamation. Bakewell Sr. lost and was ordered to pay $25,000 for the newspaper''s attorney fees.

Felony conviction and time in prison
“In 1971, Karenga, Louis Smith, and Luz Maria Tamayo were convicted of felony assault and false imprisonment for assaulting and torturing over a two day period two women from the US Organization, "Deborah Jones and Gail Davis".
An article in the Los Angeles Times described the testimony of one of the women: "Deborah Jones, who once was given the title of an African queen, said she and Gail Davis were whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothes. She testified that a hot soldering iron was placed in Miss Davis' mouth and placed against Miss Davis' face and that one of her own big toes was tightened in a vise. Karenga, head of US (United Slaves), also put detergent and running hoses in their mouths, she said".

.....Unlike the Black community to where anything goes, Congressman Charles Rangel expanded his criminal activity to cheat Caucasians, and/or others, others other than the Black community who will not let Congressman Charles Rangel get away with this. Congressman Rangel was force relinquish the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee position or face criminal indictment for income tax fraud, etc., etc.,
......Charles Rangel and/or other misfit elected Black leaders affiliated with the Democratic Party have been stealing from the Black community for decades, and far to often, the majority of the Black electorate re-elect, and/or consent to this disgraceful and criminal behavior.

Far too often the unintelligent Black electorate vastly outnumber the intelligent Black electorate.
This makes it easier for disgraceful and truly incompetent individuals such as Mayor Larry Langford, Congressman Charles Rangel, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Assemblywoman Karen Bass, former Congressman William "Thieving" Jefferson, former 2nd District Supervisor Yvonne "Brentwood" Burke, 2nd District Supervisor Mark "Little Napolean" Ridley-Thomas, etc., etc., etc., are re-elected, promoted, praised, worshipped, etc....
.......to the detriment of most any Black community!
