Let’s just call 2010 what it is:  The Year of the Black Conservative. It’s time that the Republican establishment understands the importance of what is happening, lest they leave fodder for the Left.  The Left provides a glimpse of their strategy in this NY Time’s article:

But Democrats and other political experts express skepticism about black Republicans’ chances in November. “In 1994 and 2000, there were 24 black G.O.P. nominees,” said Donna Brazile, a Democratic political strategist who ran Al Gore’s presidential campaign and who is black. “And you didn’t see many of them win their elections.”

There was one black Conservative (sort of) winner, and he had to be the loneliest man on Capitol Hill.  For years, the lone ranger of black Conservatives (well, sort of) was JC Watts (R-OK).  Talk about a man without a country.

The Congressional Black (Democrat) Caucus wanted no part of Watts, because even pseudo black Conservatives were not allowed in the Congressional Black Socialist Caucus.  The Republicans offered no real solace, as they did little to provide JC cover.

JC Watts (R-OK)

In 1994 and again in 2000 the Republicans had 24 opportunities to get additional blacks in Congress, and they failed every time. It was only Watts’ notoriety as an Oklahoma football star that encouraged the Republicans to get behind him.  However, since Watts’ exit from politics, there has not been a single black Conservative elected to Congress, not that the Republicans are doing that well with white candidates either. 

As Brazille suggests, if the Republicans can’t get a suitable contingent of black Conservatives elected, particularly given their pedigrees, then perhaps the Republicans should be judged harshly on their irresponsibility.

Steele had all the black Conservative candidates to DC a few months back only to report that the RNC was broke. Very few are getting serious Republican support, in a time where Republicans should be yelling, “It’s Reconstruction again up in this biotch!”

Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ and a host of other racist Democrat icons should be rolling over in their graves at the prospect of so many black Conservatives getting elected.  However, they are laughing at the incompetence of Republicans to seize the moment. Carpe diem, damnit!

In the Democrats’ zeal to erase their heinous past on race relations, they elected the real token, when they elected Barack “Articulate and Clean” Obama—obviously Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Shirley Chisolm were dirty!

Democrats jumped at the chance to prove how tolerant and non-racial they were, as they voted for “the black dude.” 

Credentials  and character be damned, this dude is BLACK…and if we cheat, he can actually WIN! – anon Democrat

It wasn’t enough that Democrats have 42 black Congressmen who proved their point.  No it wasn’t, and here’s the reason why.  The characters who make up the Congressional Black Caucus, black Democrats all—are “the great unwashed” and an embarrassment to white Democrats…you know, the Democrats who actually run shtuff.  Gasp!  The CBC’s handlers know that they need these black intimidators and extortionists from time to time, so they must continue to care for and feed them.

The Republicans on the other hand actually have competent blacks running, people like Star Parker (CA), Bill Randall (NC), Tim Scott (SC) and many others. Many are not running against black Democrat candidates in gerrymandered districts. For those who are, the Era of Obama has put ALL Democrat districts in play.

So, though the quantity of black Conservative candidates running today may appear hopeful, the issue is no longer how many black Conservative candidates run, but how many win!

Here’s the wrap:

It’s time the Republicans re-establish themselves as the party of Civil Rights. This is a time to teach, reminding America of the Republicans history of Civil Rights, and showcase that record.  People should know that in 1870, the first black elected to either chamber of Congress was Senator Hiram Rhodes Revels (R-MS). Shortly thereafter the first black elected to the House was Joseph Rainey (R-SC). The first black governor occurred during Reconstruction, and his name was P. B. S. Pinchback, a Republican from Louisiana.

Move over Geraldine Ferraro and Sarah Palin, the first black nominee for Vice President of the United States was Frederick Douglass who ran under the Equal Rights Party during Reconstruction.

As Reconstruction ended, it was Democrats who implemented Jim Crow laws and other preventative measures that would slow the political and economic progress of blacks for generations.  That Democrat oppression continues today! They do NOT want to see black Conservatives peeing in the punch bowl.

America has the opportunity to really put racism to bed, and provide Liberals with a true history lesson, and use this most unique time in America’s history to set the record straight. I say to America…STEP THE HELL UP!

That’s my rant!

In 1997 the Linguistic Society of America passed a resolution calling Ebonics a form of communication that deserves recognition and study. Characterizations of Ebonics as ‘slang,’ ‘mutant,’ ‘lazy,’ ‘defective,’ ‘ungrammatical’ or ‘broken English’ are incorrect and demeaning.

A language formerly considered lazy a few decades ago is now en vogue. To emphasize this, the government hires people too lazy to learn proper English to monitor those too lazy to partake in the American Dream.

In the 1800’s Ebonics was spoken by slaves to keep Massa from knowing what the slaves were doing. Ironically, the re-enslavement of America has slaves repeating history.

For those wondering why Ebonics speakers are needed, it may be that Democrat policies have led to there being more drug use, thus more drug sales, dare I say more drug crimes…in da hood?

Though this article says it’s not just black folks’ phones that are being tapped, conversations intercepted and translated, I’m not so sure. This program will be rolled out in what is described as “the agency’s Southeast Region — which includes Atlanta, Georgia; Washington; New Orleans, Louisiana; Miami, Florida; and the Caribbean…” 

Let’s analyze these areas:

Atlanta, GA – Chocolate City

DC – Chocolate City

New Orleans – Chocolate City

Miami – Caramel Chocolate City

Caribbean – Chocolate Islands

As Jesse Jackson proclaimed while race-baiting the banking crisis, “They are targeting the blacks and browns.”

I’m inclined to agree, as it appears this program has been gerrymandered. In Florida for example, these new agents aren’t being deployed in Naples!

But you can’t possibly think that Eric Holder or Obama wants to really crack down on drugs, ergo crime in black neighborhoods. Two brothas who would not prosecute Black Panthers?!  The HNIC who appointed Van Jones to his Czar network?!  Cracka please!

Neither of these light-skinned, metrosexual brothas would run the risk of losing street cred.

This token gesture—pardon the pun—is just political posturing, and what this administration thinks will be a win win.  Liberal blacks who will never abandon Obama will proclaim that he is cleaning up black neighborhoods, creating jobs, providing opportunities, and so on.

However, if a Republican administration were hiring Ebonics agents, these same blacks would be crying foul, and joined in their chorus by every race-baiting Leftist organization in America.

The lamestream media would report, “Republicans Targeting Blacks with Racist Hiring”!

Here’s the wrap:

Leave it to Democrats to promote the use of a useless language to fight a war that can’t be won with the current strategy, then to attempt to sell the Ebonics as a language.

Ebonics is creative code that takes elements of English, and synthesizes it, so it is not understood by the mainstream. Like Jazz for example, Ebonics is no longer just “black,” but it belongs to all. Ebonics has a sort of poetry to it, as its use of metaphors requires one to think, sometimes deeply.

Given that definition, this administration could use some creative types capable of deeper thought.

Because as it stands now,

“O and his peeps pitchin’ straight game, hella clownin’ America. Can’t nobody fade them chickenheads, cuz they stone wack; tryin’ to git all of America to catch a ride, and laying a bum beef on the Republicans. Ya feel me?!”

Peace out!

Kevin Jackson is a father of four sons, and an unlikely success story, given his background.  He is a leader in the consulting industry in America, having some of the world’s largest companies as his clients.  Interaction with prominent business leaders, as well as being a business leader himself has provided Jackson real world perspective to politics.  Kevin has appeared on Fox News with Glen Beck and other conservative leaders.  You can read more of Kevin’s work at his blog, The Black Sphere.

Even black Jesus won’t save the day in the land soon-to-be formerly known as The People’s Republic of Taxachussetts. Obama rode in on his white horse, and rode out on a black sheep!

The reason the salad days have ended is because of black Jesus himself! It is simply not possible to lie more during a campaign than Obama did during his campaign, as if his truths were scary enough!

Obama said he would essentially neuter our military, release terrorists from GITMO, raise taxes on the rich, redistribute wealth, discourage business, and the list goes on. By not accomplishing all that he wanted, he has still managed to wreck the economy, and give America the highest unemployment since his mentor, Jimmy Carter—another embarrassment to America.

Obama left little doubt that he believes in the government running big businesses, when he “bailed out” the unions and the financial industry, since the free market system just couldn’t cut it. He put money in shovel-ready projects, and people are digging holes for themselves all over America.

Obama is full of silly ideas, origins that could only come from theory, as they had no use in the real world. One of those ideas–Healthcare–may just be his undoing.  Here is Obama in 2005 discussing healthcare and social security:

In a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 3 to 1, a Republican may be the front-runner, and I predict will be the next senator from Massachusetts. Talk about the people revolting. And if you want to witness the vitriol of the Left—in your face—just let a Republican win something that the Democrats take for granted. Here is Keith Olbermann demonstrating exactly what I mean.

I can hardly wait for the reaction from Democrats, when black folks revolt against them! They’ve been taking black folks for granted for years, and I say the black folks equivalent of Massachusetts is on its way!

The Democrats are getting exactly what they deserve! A sound old-fashioned country butt-kicking! And this special election could not have come at a better time to provide just that!

The irony is that this election is sandwiched between MLK, Jr’s birthday and Black History Month, representing both Emancipation Part Deux and the next Civil Rights revolution! What an historic time, as this time it is not just blacks being freed, it is America being freed!

It’s Civil War II, and the only bloodshed…unless you count the brain hemorrhaging happening with Democrats all over the country! In Civil War II, the North and the South decided collectively to reject decisively Obama’s agenda. Boston is the new Antietam, the perfect place to fight the second Civil War.

Here’s the wrap:

Win or lose for Republicans, the MA senate race is a rejection of Obama, socialism, and all that he represents. It has nothing to do with Coakley, incompetent she certainly is.

This race is a rejection of the scam of the light-skinned black-with-no-Negro dialect, communist sympathizer, no-talent-no-resume having, social ladder climbing, rock-star wannabe, so-called leader of the New World Order. This rejection is LONG overdue!

This election shows that Guilters recognize that they voted for the wrong black man. I applaud them for admitting it…sort of.

They realize that America is being held hostage, and it’s time we brought her home. She’s tired and hungry! But with a little pampering, she will be the beautiful beacon of light for the world that she once was.

As much as I detest the Obama administration, I have to say that it may have been necessary. It took Obama to show us the radical side of the Left’s ideology, and thankfully he scared his own. As the saying goes, “God gives us not what we want but what we need”–Though at times He leaves us not knowing whether to scratch our watches or wind our butts!

I believe that God is trying to tell us—and THEM—something!  I believe God will make one of His boldest statements today. Because when Brown wins, it will be God giving America REAL hope and change.

That’s my rant!

And skin-lightening is not just for blacks, but is a multi-cultural phenomenon, as this report in the NY Times suggests:

Dermatologists nationwide are seeing women of Hispanic and African descent, among others, with severe side effects…from the misuse of skin-lightening creams…But many others seek to lighten their entire face or large swatches of their body, a practice common in developing countries as disparate as Senegal, India and the Philippines, where it is promoted as a way to elevate one’s social standing.

And we have Harry Reid to thank for exposing this racist bias amongst Democrats, but we have Democrats and socialist around the world for exposing the pervasiveness of it all.  They NYT story goes on to say,

Moreover, it is not as if dark-skinned women are imagining a bias, said Dr. Glenn, who is president of the American Sociological Association. “Sociological studies have shown among African-Americans and also Latinos, there’s a clear connection between skin color and socioeconomic status. It’s not some fantasy. There is prejudice against dark-skinned people, especially women in the so-called marriage market.

Who knew that all I needed to do to improve my socio-economic status was to stay out of the sun!  If I had lived a life of leisure, perhaps I could have done this.  It would have limited my interaction with the rest of the world, forcing me to walk around like “bubble boy,” or cocooned like those people with the rare condition where even the smallest amount of sun is carcinogenic.  For all intents and purposes, getting sun is carcinogenic for blacks.making the sun somewhat of a racist!  The sun…conspiring to keep brothers down! 

Who knows what I could have achieved had I not grown up in the hot Texas sun.  I swear I was a very light child growing up, so much so that I actually wanted to be darker.  I could have “passed,” had it not been for my nappy hair.

I recall when my brother and I worked one summer for the son of the family who owned the ranch where we lived, and we were hired to cut trees in various clearings.  That summer was Africa hot, and we worked in the peak of the heat every day, shirtless.  I got so dark, that I didn’t recognize myself.  I peeled for the first time in my life, and panicked not knowing what was happening to me!  One of my white friends had to tell me what was happening, as I thought I had a dreaded disease.

On the blackness scale, I was “Alan Keyes black,” which is about a 9 out of 10 [Miles Davis is a 10 for those who may be wondering]. 

All the girls in Jr. High noticed that I was darker, but one actually told me that my color was…beautiful.  And I must admit, after I finished peeling, I did look healthy and frankly…AWESOME!  As the saying goes, “Once you go black…!”

Here’s the wrap:

I never looked back after that. I would never get that dark again, preferring to bounce between 6 and 7 versus the 9 I achieved that hot summer.  But little did I know the effect it would have during my potential big income producing years.

Now that I am bald, had I kept my lighter visage, I might actually be able to pass at this stage in my life. However I have learn—the hard way—that past a certain age, the skin takes on a life of its own. After all, the skin is the biggest organ…and apparently the baddest!  My skin has decided that between 6 and 7 is where I shall stay.

If I want to take my life in my own hands, I could pull a Michael Jackson and begin lightening my skin, in Mike’s case going from a 6 to a 1.  Not much future in that, and it has been linked to pedophilia!  Woody Allen is a 1 as well!

There is Sammy Sosa, who has gone from an 8 to a 3 on the blackness scale.  However Sosa has made a lot more money than I, so he is free to do as he wishes. I on the other hand am a slave to my skin.

As a black Conservative, one would think that with all the vitriol I take from the Left that I would by now have experimented with these new creams, and I would be as white as Bebe Neuwirth.  Yet, here I and other black Conservatives remain, proud of our culture, living in our own skin, and daring the sun not to shine on us.

I guess I will just ride out the rest of my life happy in the skin I’m in.

That’s my rant!

“As president, I have a solemn responsibility to protect our nation and our people. And when the system fails, it is my responsibility,” Obama said.

I have learned that when Obama says, “The buck stops here!” the buck is just on a layover.  And this was indeed the case recently.  Just after saying, “The buck stops here,” Obama was notified that an appropriate scapegoat who allowed the terrorist to board the plane in Detroit had been found.  The culprit is Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan.  Who knows what he got to do the mea culpa?

So aside from the good news of passing the buck, the ancillary benefit for Obama is, like with Biden, Obama has exposed America to yet another incompetent white guy!  Who cares that Obama picked them both!  The buck stops THERE!

In the spirit of transparency, Obama informed America that when terrorist suspects are found, they will be exposed.  As we say, “Put on Front Street.”  I can hardly wait to see the transparency involved here. Obama exposing Muslims and African. I guess we will get three days of visibility to review their mugshots on the internet, before they are publicly waterboarded. No, we will put them in explosive underwear, and draw lottery tickets on who gets to detonate.  Wait, that is what would happen if I were POTUS!

The question for me is why hasn’t protecting America’s citizens been a priority to begin with?  The president’s #1 job is the protection of America.  Was Obama not aware of binary explosives?  This is scary stuff!

And guess who is doing all this planning, people willing to blow off their naughty bits for the sake of Allah? Crap…I gave it away!  Yes, young men with names like Abdullah and Muhammed, and who look like Muslims and Africans.  Obama’s potential solution to the problem:  Racial profiling.  There it is America, a black man profiling people of color!  GASP!  You got it…it’s all Bush’s fault!

For Bush, protecting America was like breathing.  You wake up, take a big gulp of air, then start looking for radicals, real radicals—not our military men and women or 80-year old white grandmothers—to beat down.  One step Bush took after 9-11 was to established the Department of Homeland Security, which allowed all our various security agencies to communicate properly to prevent terrorist attacks.  How many attacks were there after Bush did this?  Crickets…

Under Obama, there have been twelve separate major incidents of terror on America from the massacre in Ft. Hood to the underwear bomber.  Nobody harmed Americans on our soil under Bush, and Bush didn’t have this many “major incidents” for the remainder of his presidency.  If you’re wondering what has happened, as reported by CNN, referencing the six-page White House report:

“…it was the inability of the intelligence community to “connect the dots” in putting all the pieces of information and analysis together.”

White House gobblety-goop explained:  So the same intelligence community that allowed NO attacks under Bush, has allowed two attacks under Obama and eight other major incidents?  I know…it’s Bush’s fault!

Incompetence is infectious, and there is a pandemic in the Obama administration.  Despite what you were told about Bush being dumb, Obama makes Bush look like Einstein!

Here’s the wrap:

Obama has never taken protecting America seriously.  He believed that his mere presence was protection enough for America, because that is how narcissists think.  Why would anybody want to attack America, if it is governed by a GOD?!

Because of Obama’s vanity, America’s security has taken ten steps backwards, and his “leadership” is truly the blind leading the blind.  Obama’s incompetence is exceeded only by his ability to find people equally incompetent and in many cases more; something I thought was impossible!

I find it ironic that a man who calls waterboarding torture, and attempts to rid the world of nuclear weapons would reference Truman’s plaque—the only president to authorize dropping the ultimate weapon…nuclear bombs.

Though I am not a fan of former KKK member Harry S. Truman, he at least had the guts to protect America and save lives by taking the harsh step of bombing the enemy who attacked America by bombing Pearl Harbor.  What do you think Obama would have done under similar circumstances?  Pass the buck!

That’s my rant!
