Blacks need Democrats; so says Obama Administration
If you are Black, this should insult you.
The Washington Times reported on Tuesday that the Obama Administration had overruled a local election in Kinston, N.C. where citizens decided to make their municipal elections non-partisan. The reason given for denying the overwhelming result of the local election:
…partisan elections are needed so that black voters can elect their “candidates of choice” – identified by the department as those who are Democrats and almost exclusively black.
That’s right, friends. The reason behind this decision is to make sure that Black voters keep voting Democrat; thus continuing the bamboozling.
This is an insult because the White House is essentially saying that Blacks need Democrats so they can come out on Election Day. That is in addition to using the Federal Government in ways that should alarm everyone; intervening in a local matter where an overwhelming majority made a decision involving their community for the sole reason or partisan politics.
In a way, based on the past eight months of a polarizing White house, this does not come as a surprise.
Obama White House is not (just) Anti-Fox News…
I want to take you back to earlier this year in the rant heard around the world. CNBC Commentator Rick Santelli, from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, says what we all were thinking…
Why should I know and what makes you special?
This post will probably offend some of you. Upfront, I want to let you know that my intent is not to offend, but to let you know where I am standing on an issue that has gained major attention within the week with President Barack Obama throwing down the gauntlet in saying that he wants to get rid of “don’t ask, don’t tell” and the Defense of Marriage Act.
I am not in favor of gay marriage and any attempt to legitimize something that is far from natural, let alone going against what a majority of Americans do not agree with. If anyone is looking for my approval on any gay marriage ceremonies, I cannot do it. It’s an abomination and I cannot co-sign with the gay lifestyle. Allow me to say that again, gay lifestyle. Being gay is a choice, you are not born gay. There is no such thing as a gay gene as the APA admitted to, although it was a little reported story.
While I will not treat gay people any different than I would anyone else, I will not be participating in any equality marches; nor will I be speaking or supporting gay rights…because they already have rights. What this comes down ultimately is approval of a culture that thinks it’s OK to broadcast to the entire world what they like to do in their bedroom behind closed doors. If I don’t want to know what straight couples do, why would I want to know what gay couples do? It is none of my business.
So now we go back to this issue of special laws for people who are not special (which is the ultimate point.) The two popular arguments that I run across is that the movement for gay rights is the same as the movement for civil rights in the 1960s. The other argument, which I received recently, is that they are not second class citizens and they should not be treated as such. Let’s start with the whole attempting to equate the gay rights movement, with the civil rights movement.
Oh no, he’s not a racist. Just a stupid racist.
Hey kids, did you hear about this?
This is probably the saddest story that I have heard this year. Insult to injury, justice of the peace Keith Bardwell told the Associated Press, “I’m not a racist. I just don’t believe in mixing the races that way. I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else.” Well, praise brother. You are willing to let me make a delivery to your bathroom. Are you kidding me?
So I started wonder, especially since the my eyes are becoming even wider to the fact that Democrats have a lot to answer for in race relations. The question that came up in my mind is whether or not Bardwell was a Democrat.
Kenny Burns doesn’t care about Black people…
It has come to my attention by a couple of people that I am hard on my fellow Black people. One person last year, BMORENEWS.com publisher Doni Glover, said:
Mr. Burns, it is clear to think, has very little sensitivity regarding the entire situation and remains on the periphery of the plight of black people.
Another person told me that my belief that people should follow Christian principles more is unrealistic. The only problem is that for someone that has been following Christian principles more in my current adult life when compared to the earlier part of this decade, you cannot convince me that it isn’t realistic. When I have been following Christian principles, they have worked successfully. When I have not been following Christian principles, I have not been as successful. The choice to follow God is still up to the individual, but I am still going to advocate for people to follow God and declare Christ as their savior.
But that pales in comparison for the real reason why Glover and another person believes that I am insensitive to Black people or hard on Black leaders…it is because I am an openly Black conservative Republican. That is the real reason, but they will not come out and say it publicly. The way most people will tell me is that it is the way that I say stuff. It’s almost a euphemism for “why are you speaking so loudly in disagreement?”
Specifically, I refuse to blindly follow the Democratic party. How can I? They have proven that they do not have the best interest of Americans, let alone Black people. They have practically ignored Black voters, except for election time. In 2006, the two front runners for the U.S. Senate Democratic primary in Maryland were Congressman Ben Cardin and former Congressman and former NAACP President Kweisi Mfume. Mfume lost because the party put its weight behind Cardin.
You would think that it would have been a more fair fight, especially since Mfume was campaigning for the job longer than Cardin. Personally, I think it was because the party was largely afraid of the slams Mfume would face in regards to his personal life from days gone by. A personal life in which he has owned up to and is known about widely throughout the state. For the record, I will use Maryland a lot as examples because I live here and that’s where I do my commentating and analyzing.
The Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have used the people they claim to speak for to boost their personal profile and bank accounts, earning the deserved title of “poverty pimps” from former congressman J.C. Watts, a Black Republican from Oklahoma. Let’s be honest, what have Black people gained as a result of Imus getting canceled from MSNBC and fired from CBS Radio in 2007? More importantly, where were these two gentleman in 1997 when Imus admitted that he hired his producer, Bernard McGirk , because he told great “nigger jokes” on 60 Minutes?
So I took some time to compile some possible reasons why some people believe that I am allegedly hard on Black people and Black “leaders”… Read more
