Minorities At Risk For Drowning
Obama Honors Fallen Troops
From The Huffington Post:
During an appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was given an opportunity to set the record straight with regard to comments she made earlier this year lauding the nation's Founding Fathers for working "tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States."

This is Typical of someone who spreads her political BS, always trying to tell others what this country needs.
This is a prime example of Bachmann, Palin and Ann Coulter and that whole Tea Party group.
However, it mostly shows the lack of intelligence, and common sense of the followers who believe Bachmann can make a difference.
The Tea Party is a racist organization much like the KKK that is backed by low achievers, who places the blame of their own failures on others much like the KKK.
Time will expose the misleading beliefs of Mrs Bachmann and the American people will finally take notice for what she is, which is nothing more than a publicity seeking, fly by night, individual looking for fame and fortune like he mentor Sarah Palin.
Her followers on Black Voices (if there's any)will mostly see this as well.

I agree. She and Mr. Bachmann also received medicaid payments to their business. This is the woman that opposes government programs. I would like to know how those "23 foster kids" were treated in her home. She says that she is a tax attorney,....what college did she attend?! They either didn't teach history, or Bachmann didn't absord any. She learned just enough about US tax laws to manipulate the system for personal gain.

Really sad how ignorant this commentator is. The core Tea Party enthusiasts share a desire for a government that is limited in scope, rather than a government that limits the scope of it's people. Most that I know are libertarian. They believe in individual liberties, and couldn't be further from the KKK or racism. They don't care whether you're black or white. They don't care whether gays marry. Unfortunately, this poster Matt, equates the Tea Party with right wing Christian conservatives. They are not at all the same. I know it may be hard as our school systems turn out graduates without the skills of critical reasoning these days, but please try to do enough basic reading on the issues so that you don't come off sounding so misinformed. I'm embarrassed for you.
This commentator has obviously fallen, out of his own weak and limited world view, for the attempt by some in the media to portray the outlier fanatics as being the average Tea Party supporter.

Caf-What utter BS! The teabaggers were in the streets 57 days after President Obama was elected complaining about his policies, of which, as I recall, he only had time to inact two, and they complaining about their taxes being too high, AFTER President Obama gave them a tax break! The teabaggers are a whooly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party, albiet, their most bigoted branch, and since they served their usefulness in the 2010 elections, they became expendable, and the Republican Party rushes back to the center. They know they can't beat Obama in 2012, and they aren't getting any money from the baggers, so why would any of the real Republicans want to be associated with them? Remember the "Tea Party" caucus? How many are there? Three? Michelle Bachmann is the queen of the village idiots, deaf, dumb, and blind to the political realities of her chances to even land a spot on the ticket, but knows an opportunity to make a quick buck when she sees one. I doubt if she will survive the first round of close media scrutiny. She keeps bragging about the number of foster children she "raised" but neglects to tell us that she was paid very well to do this, by the very socialist system she rails against. The clock is ticking Michelle, and the clown car is full.

Our founding Fathers, the U.S. Constitution are not the problem, as it relates to contemporary years.
.......the Demcoratic Party's Dark "Jim Crow" Past is just as true today and it was during reconstruction.

The Tea Party advocates, Michele Bachmann, President Bush, nor the Republican Party are responsible for the demise of the Black community.
Misfit representatives, such as President Obama, game playing no good deceitful elected Black leaders, and/or others, who are affiliated with Democratic Party, have contributed to the destruction of the inner-city by being inept, silent, selfish, uncaring, disgraceful, criminal, sleazy, treasonous, liars, hypocrites, carpetbaggers, un-American, unqualified,.....you name it.
The assessment that is based upon fact to prove that President Barack “the Magic Negr@ Obama” Obama, multiple members of the Congressional Black Caucus, multiple members of the liberal segment of the Democratic Party are in fact disgraceful to the essence of what it means to be an elected official.
This assessment has more to do with treason, blatant incompetence, and disregard for our Constitution, and not because President Obama and/or the Congressional Black Caucus, etc., are Black, African American, etc.
The Democratic Party through misfit representatives have been large and in charge over most any Black community for decades.......and the Democratic "the Party of Slavery" Party has done more harm to the social, economic, and/or political environment of Detroit, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Compton, Baltimore, Oakland, New Orleans, etc., etc., than the vestibule of slavery past.....
.....because these misfit elected Black leaders and/or other liberal Democrats place more value in the his or her own selfish destructive interests, the rights of public unions illegal/undocumented immigrants, , promote anti-free enterprise individuals or organizations, are inept in the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution, etc., etc.......
........while that impairs or disparages the lawful rights of law abiding U.S. citizens and legal immigrants.
…..and there are many other Black people who do not have praise for President Obama……
“Barack Obama is a black mascot" for Wall Street, and President Obama is not acting like a "free black man’ by Cornell West
Indeed Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Cornell West....

........Seeking his Irish roots, kissing up to illegal/undocumented immigrants, talking down to U.S. born Black men on Father’s day, forked tongue President “the Magic Negr@” Obama is a sellout of the highest order. From the outset President Obama’s only mission has been to become President and the “Hell” with the American people, especially as it pertains to representing U.S. born Blacks.

When Americans of the Black Race are referred to,
they are ALWAYS referred to as African Americans,
but when White Race is in the same conversation,
Whites are never referred to as the White Race
or White Americans unless seldom appropriate.
Therefore, the African sterotype word placed
before the word American, needs to be eliminated
because is conjurs racial overtones, me thinks.
What say thee, America? Let's really eliminate
Racial inequality by not mentioning it, in the
same vein as nobody uttering the "N" word.
