Inequality Right In Our Faces

Posted by Bossip Staff

The video, called “Obama Youth — Junior Fraternity Regiment “, is causing a little controversy on the net, with Fox News leading the charge.

This clip didn’t show any disrespect to the McCain camp at all, but the teacher was still suspended (probably without pay), unlike this Florida teacher. What’s next? We would like to think that the black teacher being hanged from a f*cking tree isn’t possible, but if they can re-adjust reason to make these two messages equal, can you imagine what might be next?!?!

Please share your thoughts.

    People, please stop believing the president runs the country. He’s just a figurehead who’s controlled by unseen men. Republican and Democrats are the same tool of divide and conquer. They eat lunch together in private and fight in public as an act. YOU ARE THE CHANGE YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. STOP LOOKING FOR A NEW SLAVE MASTER EVERY FOUR YEARS! Obama is a tool for the NEW WORLD ORDER! Wake Up!

    They are pulling at straws in order to stop us…People get out there and vote and vote as early as possible….

  • Mike

    A vote is a POLL(Opinion). Your vote counts as an opinion to make you feel empowered when you really aren’t. Why weren’t you able to vote against that 700 billion dollar bailout? Stop believing this vote hype and understand that America is being globalized for a World Federal Reserve. Everybody is going to wake up to microchips in their children and electronic money. Stop watching TV!!

  • Black Barbie

    Obama’s campaign (and election…yes, we can!) is supposed to inspire young people. What reason could they have for the suspension? I’m waiting to hear how they’re going to spin this one!

  • pm

    America would rather see those boys on a corner then doing something positive..and wonder why blacks are not very patriotic

  • BBC – Afiya -

    I can’t view it…

    but what’s up with that teacher duct taping the babies?? That chick is running outta time…she gonna get it!!

    :(

  • I’m Just Me- Buffalo Bills (4-1) WE GOT THE CHARGERS ON THE 19th!!!!

    Really, we all know that the Electoral College votes and decides who the next President is. Remember in 2000 with Al Gore. He won the Popular vote but somehow still wasn’t President. Shows you something right there!!! Come back Al!!!

  • chaka1

    The GOP is trying to scare uneducated white people. This is a farce.

  • Oracle03

    Ok, not even commenting on the subject; but some bruh out there is doin TOO MUCH with those boys in the fatigues & gold boots. Come on now… Giving too much too early these days

  • Black Barbie

    I read some of the comments from “mainstream media,” and they clearly don’t get it. People are linking the boys to HitlerYouth and nazism.

    How can anyone be so culturally ignorant? The Obama Youth Fraternity is modeled after the chants/stomps of “greek” fraternities on HBCU campuses.

    It would be nice if people would learn about someone’s heritage and beliefs other than their own! How can you condemn something that inspires young men?

    P.S. Because schools are supposed to be politically neutral, the teacher should be advised/counseled about the appearance of partisanship, proselytizing and returned to class. Jeesh!

  • BBC – Afiya -

    So Mike…are you suggesting that we NOT VOTE?

  • BIANCA

    I cosign Mike. All the information is there people just love living the American “Dream”. I guess we are the only ones that prefer reality.

  • Knowone

    The media is spinning this video to be about militant black youth organizing around the country. They are trying to scare white America into voting for McCain. Please believe that racism is at work here but also know that the world is not at all what it seems. Buy some gold, some food and something to protect your home with. Times are about to change. God Bless.

  • TM

    I agree with Mike

    It should be instilled in them that they should aspire to become these things regardless of who is running for POTUS. If Obama decided not to run, would they not have aimed to become doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc…

    We should teach our children that regardless of outside influences, they should aspire to be the best they can. It time to eliminate the word can’t.

    Yes I can!!!!!

  • LOL

    Suspended??? I’m confused WHY??? to me it just looks like a part of a black history program jeez…..

  • Aunt Viv

    Um, no way to Livesteez…

  • EZRawlins

    This is benign but dumb. The same way we wouldn’t approve of a white teacher campaigning for John and Sarah, so too should we disapprove of a teacher campaigning for Obama. And I cosign with the poster above: Shouldn’t these kids aspire to these lofty goals REGARDLESS of who wins? Shouldn’t teachers inspire such ambitions? Folks need to stop looking for a hero and start looking for themselves…

  • What is the world coming to?

    Mike’s post is so on point. The president has little power in his position, the majority of things are being formulated and masterminded by those behind the scenes. The voting process is only a process that makes the majority (the people) feel like they are actually contributing to society and making a change when in reality, regardless of voting, a decision has probably been made from the beginning.

    It’s time for people to wake up and realize that America is definitely not what it portrays itself to be. I am not discouraging the act of voting, just simply stating the truth, good luck to all, the future is going to be very…very…rough.

  • Lady elle

    well call me naive but I prefer this type of young black male encouragement over the saggy pants soldier boy, cursing, #ick grabbing encouragement.

  • Tony

    Ok, we finally have a depiction of young african american males really taking the initiative to dream and focus on their future, and its looked at as being racist. I dont understand how anyone could be offended by the video. I am sure the teacher did not force any of those boys to take part in the group. If they didnt think Obama was a great leader or an example for who they could one day be, would they really participate in the group just to get extra credit and brownie points with the teacher? Probably not. Spelling out C H A N G E on the board of a school and having the N stand for N*$&%% is unacceptable. I THINK EVERYBODY WAS OFFENDED BY THAT BULLCRAP! Maybe I didnt hear the video right, but did it say anything negative about Mcain? I do agree with “BLACK BARBIE” when she posted that schools should stay neutral, but I dont think the teacher meant any harm by it. He to me, was just showcasing how this campaign is shaping and changing the mindsets of African American youths. It is sad that we have to wait for an African AMerican to run for president before some of our youth decide that they can do better. BUT, I thank GOD that folks are striving to achieve and WHEN OBAMA gets elected, I hope that young black men and women will stop with the excuses of not being able to make it.

  • BE

    I can’t see why you would want to suspend the teacher!!

    If he did something like molesting children I could see but this was a positive message.

    so what message was the school district trying to send? They could have just told him to disband the team.

    people need to get a grip this election is becoming an outrage!

  • My Vote Matters

    First off its not that deep. Its really not. If the students wanted to make a step to this then so be it. Maybe they come from a home where Obama is their hero. Maybe they come from a community where he is consistently talked about. Or how bout the students actually took the time out to listen to Obama and was moved by his speech. Fox news station is a racist station anyway. And if you don’t like what the students are saying and doing cover your eyes and ears. All this video is, is a appreciation to Obama, because he has set the way for the rest of us Blacks. He has showed us that we can be more then an average Joe, or “Mr. Six-Pack.” They look at Obama’s complexion and realize “he’s just like me!” That gives up HOPE.

    If you feel as though that the election isn’t worth anything and won’t do anything towards our lives because yours is sooo great or just don’t care at all, then don’t vote. Keep on doing what you do everyday and don’t worry your pretty little head about it. But if the wrong man gets picked because you and ppl like you didn’t vote your going to be sorry. Your going to going to be PISSED when gas becomes $7.00 a gallon, and just to catch a flight to the next state a month ahead of time is going to be $1,000.

    I know whom I’m voting for and I encourage everyone, white black, green, orange, and blue to vote and make history.

    “Yes we can!”

  • DA TRUFF ??? YOU CAN’T HANDLE DA TRUFF!!!!!!!

    @ MIKE & HIS FELLOW COOL-AID DRINKERS

    THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!! LOL!!!

    IT’S THE NEW WORLD ORDER!!!!!

    ALL POWER RESTS IN A SECRET SHADOW GOVERNMENT!!!!

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I’M SCARED!!!! LOL!!!

    First I don’t want politics pushed in the schools.

    Second if it don’t matter who gets in office, why do the policies and practices of the U.S. sway back & forth with the exchange of administrations.

    Third black people striving for a better life is nothing new, Obama did not wake us up, he is merely taking advantage of the groundwork laid by millions since the time of slavery.

    “YES WE CAN!!!”

  • Mike

    @DA TRUFF- You’re right all power rests in a secret shadow government. Obama is taking advantage of groundwork, but NOTHING is free. Do you think that they’re allowing him to run without a true agenda? Are you still dumb enough to feel safe because you’re IN America? What’re you going to do when the stock market crashes, are you going to wait for Obama’s instructions? Of course you will! because he lulled your dumb ass to sleep. Power corrupts. He’s already voted for the 700 billion dollar bailout. Wait until you see what’s next.

  • Wordz Of a Prophet (Blessed 4rm da womb 2 da tomb)

    @Mike

    True enuff the president is picked by the electoral college and the president does have to answer to people lower than him to pass any bill or do just about anything he has to refer to his colleagues, but why kill people’s dream to feel like they are being involved in something. You know how hard black people fought to vote??? We are exercising our right to vote that our forefathers fought for. What was the purpose in them dying,going to jail, and being tortured for something that we are not going to take and run with???

    Personally I will be voting and I know all this stuff that you said had some validity to it, but this will be my 1st election and Im hoping that my vote sways someone on the electoral college that Obama is the right choice to lead this country and potentially reverse this ressesion that we are witnessing take place. Al Gore did win the popular vote and they went the other way and look what happened to our economy. Hopefully they will understand that Obama will win the popular vote bcuz he is indeed the best man for the job.

    I viewed it on a site other than WackSteez, and them boys didn’t do anything wrong.

  • Wordz Of a Prophet (Blessed 4rm da womb 2 da tomb)

    And as far as the stock market crashing?? I would like to know why they pushed so hard to pass that bill. I don’t just take everything as the truth and be ok with it. why should we bail out wallstreet??? I honestly think that if wall street crashes all the big boys have something to loose, they should take a look inside their portfoliios and see why they are so adamant about this. I for one am not that concerned bcuz I don’t have a damn thing invested in stocks

  • BIANCA

    @DATRUFF YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUFF ( LMAO at your name because your the only one that can’t handle the TRUTH)

    Nobody is making anything up as far as the NWO. Presidents of the U.S. both past and present have spoke openly abbout it you fool. The videos are all over the internet. Ever heard of youtube genius? Im sure you have but the only thing you probably want to look at on that site are music videos. This country is ran by 4 or 5 of the richest families in America, not the president they hand pick for you. You people are mental slaves and dont even know it.

    ITS OK TO THINK PEOPLE. IT WONT HURT.

    I don’t know what america is scared of more, The young black male that don’t give a damn or the one that does.

    ************************************************

    America is scared because the one who gives a damn has encouraged other blk ppl (young and old)to care also and to know that if they band together they can make a difference somehow. America was never scared of ppl who didn’t know anything becuase that was just fine with them keeping us in the dark.

    The video was very moving to me, I love seeing strong black men wanting to achieve greatness.

    I see some of you posters TELL people things, but you provide no scientific proof to further your opinions. What I am saying in plain english is-I think it is highly irrational and insensitive to suggest to people that they should NOT vote. People have paid a dear price for that right to be practiced, and it pisses me off tha people can unestimated folks. If people are able to make an educated decision that leads them to be a doctor, lawyer, or whatsoever their hearts desire-then that is a great thing-but I cannot understand how even the mere suggestion of NOT VOTING is doing for one’s self.

    Maybe I misread some of the posts, but I am just sharing my views, and I am willing to follow-up…

  • http://www.fightthesmears.com faceless.black.lady

    On the video topic-I do not think they did a thing wrong-but I have a serious problem with the guy in Florida who wrote to his class Can.Help.A.N-word.Get.Elected, and was NOT suspended.

    Every kid has a role model, and too many times, it’s Plies, or Jordan-why is it bad that Obama inspires people, and why was this teacher suspended?

  • James

    The reason for the suspension is it is against the law for teachers to impose political views on students. As a black man i find it silly that these kids are speaking on something they know nothing about and treating obama as if he is a saint because he is a fellow black man… lets see what he does for our country before we decide if he is a great man or not!

  • Mike

    The reason not to vote faceless.blacklady is when we were getting hosed down and killed for the ‘right’ to vote. Politicians took into consideration the will of the people and the policies people wanted for society. Now voting is a poll that’s used to determine, distract people and buy time so politicians can loot the treasury and make the people feel they are being heard. Politics has evolved to the KNOWLEDGE and science that to its easier to oppress people by making them think they’re free. This prevents rebellion. Atlanta and Charlotte were the two only places with a “gas shortage”. They did this to check the “temperature” of the people to see how far they would go while the economy is ready to crash..and where they may congregate in hostility. Nobody did anything, so they know they have the people in check. Atlanta and Charlotte are perfect controls. While we’re out working jobs, they’re studying population control like a science. Voting volunteers your thoughts so that they can be countered and controlled. Voting had its place in time. Now they switch pockets on your ass every 8 years. What happened to Bill Clinton the black president? Now he’s an azzhole right???

    Obama is going to be President of America – not the black race. And now that he has done his part to wake us up – it’s up to US now to continue to advocate CHANGE in OUR neighborhoods, not HIM.

  • Black, yet very well educated

    Those fat ghetto bubbas need to get on a diet and forget the Obama nonsense.

    McCain/Palin 08!

  • Jay cee

    I thought it was very positive to see that Obama has provided such inpiration to impressionale young youth. but when they started to spout about his health care plan that was when it could be deemed as teaching the kids propaganda. No one really knows the implications of the Obama Healthcare Plan. it is propaganda even if it is really what the teacher believes it should be stated as so. poor kids. i just hope the health care plans turns out to be just as they had been told. if not there will be some really confused young men out there

  • Eliza

    I loved the piece and am even inspired to see young black males discussing their goals and ambitions. None of them mentioned becoming rappers, gangsters, drug dealers and this is why the school chose to suspend the teacher. Hopefully, Barack Obama’s camp will reach out to him.
