Cornel West has got to know that that look is not hot…

lmao

1st!!!

Barack Obama… Yes…Who said the Clinton’s were for Black folks…You can visit our churches, have an office in Harlem and kiss all the black babies you want Hilary DOESN’T SPEAK FOR THIS BLACK WOMAN…

not that he is focusing on being “hot”. but he makes me giggle.

he’s gonna be assassinated. Obama’s for real.

I wonder what caused Cornel to change his opinion? Mmmmm….

@ Stay SMH,

did you see that black and white picture of him at Harvard, from the 70s, that’s been passed around? when he was rocking that fyre ‘fro? That needs to come back. Homie looked goooooooood back in the day. Obama has presence. and Michelle is all that.

@ catfish

what? what happened with Cornell before? do tell, man.

ISSMH

u don’t go for that nerdy bill collecter, I haven’t had a haircut in decades look??

Love OBAMA! History in the making people! Reminds me of how my mother taught us to go to school, make something of yourself and you can be anything you want!!!! CHANGE you can believe in!

Cornel West is an Intelectual wizzard which would make him seem odd to most people. Obama is the man and I wish him the best

Seriously y’all we have got to do better. There is a black genocide going on in this country and we have got to stop it before it’s too late.

did anybody see barack doing the two step on ellen. it was so cute. he’s got my vote! (no, not just because of his dancing).

Damn, was this televised? I didn’t even know he was going to be there. I want to see it.

If you are voting for Barack, why?

Everybody know Cornel is married to Becky???????!!!!!!

For those who support Obama

How do you feel about his position on abortion?

@ And

That’s why I won’t vote for him. I’m PRO-LIFE.

Black Man

@ And

That’s why I won’t vote for him. I’m PRO-LIFE.

______________________________________________

I’m having a hard time with it b/c I really like his ideas and where he wants to take this country. “Although black women constitute only 6% of the population, they comprise 36% of the abortion industry’s clientele” Abortion has killed more black people in a year than the KKK has total.

I am voting for Obama if he is the Democaratic nominee because he represents my core values as an American. I can appreciate his intellect and beleive that he can push this country forward into a post civil rights political era. I believe that if we came together on a common belief that we all have a stake in this country’s future, we can squash all the ignorance and bu@$**t goes on with our citizens. (BTW, I am a black educated female).

If anybody is following the Natalie Holloway story the three boys that may be charged with her murder may spend MAXIMUN 15 years in jai. Mychael Bail was going to spend 22 years for a fight. Does anyone else see a problem with this?

“There is more than a two-fold greater risk that an African American who killed a white person will be executed than there is for a white person who killed a non-white victim.”

@Happy_Chick

So you are pro-choice?

Plus, we do not need Bill and Hillary back in the White Hosue with all of their foolishness. The man brought on impeachement hearings, people in his social circle were committing suicide, Clinton slept on the Rwanda genocide, NAFTA is killing the middle class here in America. WE had better remember what the Clinton years werer really about. Its not about entertainment, its about effective leadership that push this country into a progessive nation. Bill and Hillary were the best things to happen to the GOP. He helped to galvanize their ranks becasue of his failures.

For those of you who said they are pro-life…I hope you oppose the death penalty, b/c if not you are a bunch of hyprocrates. Yea they are a bunch of murderers, but it’s still killing, so don’t give me that pro-life crap and not oppose the death penalty. Look we need to get a black man in office to set an example to our black youth that thee are other tpes of black men who make it besides rappers and entertainers, and thugs. I’s time for black people to come up and take our throne on this planet.

@And…

I do not give my opinion on wedge issues like abortion when we have black children getting gunned down on the streets and in theirs homes everyday. Using abortion as a litmus test of whether a candidate would be an effective leader for America is so 1980′s. ABortion is solow on my priorities when our educatinal system is literally falling apart. We have to grow in our political dialogue….

@C-Red

I completely agre with you but I do see a problem with your theology. There are plenty of black men that our youth and look to for example but they don’t. So don’t say that Ohama needs to be president to set an example for our youth b/c they have plenty, they just choose to ignore them. What we need to remember is America was built from our free labor. We are the epitome of the American dream. To come from nothing and through oppression, we still make our way. It is time to stop making our way and take our way. Big business get paid more to incarcerate us than to educate us.

@Happy_Chick

It was just a question sweetheart. If abortion isn’t something you really care about that’s fine. No need for short words.

I don’t see all of this as being intertwinded. Black people are dying daily. Whether it be from guns, drugs, abortion, HIV/AIDS, or capital punishment. We are still leading the pack in all of these areas. If someone is truly trying to help the people they should care about all the people in every facet.

correction

I do see…

*damn so many typos*

Barack Obama… Yes…Who said the Clinton’s were for Black folks…You can visit our churches, have an office in Harlem and kiss all the black babies you want Hilary DOESN’T SPEAK FOR THIS BLACK WOMAN…

I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Happy Chick

Just wait til Obama’s in office (IF he gets elected) and I guarantee there will be issues that will continue to affect the black community and there will be promises that will not be fullfilled…do you wanna know why? Because before Obama can pass any kinds of bills they have to go through Congress…thats right, it has to be approved by a bunch of old white people that may/or may not be prejudice. So all your theories about what Obama could do for the community are just that…theories. Don’t get me wrong I have nothing against Obama personally, because I think he is not only incredibly handsome, but articulate and intelligent. However, I’m a realist and the Amerikkkan Congress will NEVER let any bills pass that will uplift or benefit black people…I’m sorry, but it’s the truth.

Another thing that is soo discouraging is the number of blacks that aren’t even going to vote or aren’t even registered to vote. They could care less about the presidency b/c some really don’t see how important it is.

@ I stay SMH I don’t think he is concerned with looking Hot. The man is brillant.

I love the fact that Obama is being truthfull about his past. All other politicians lie and then things come back to bite them in the ass. I love Barack but that does not mean I am going to vote him because unfortunately it is still a polical game to be played. However, if more politicans were like him we ALL will be much better off.

Barack seems like the type of person who will actually listen to what the majority of the people want. And do what is right for the American people. Unlike Bush

We work at the fringes until we can form a coalition with other minoritues and push issue that benefit us.

Very soon a Black/Latino will actually be elected. Sadly Obama will not.

A candidate who is Black with a latin surname already has a third of the electorate and 15 years from now will have 40 – 50 percecnt if we vote.

I just love that man. Barack in 08!

to and and anyone else who isn’t going to back obama b/c he is pro-choice and/or they are pro-life: deciding which candidate to choose based on one aspect of their campaign is not a good way to decide in my opinion. even if he was pro-life, i honestly don’t believe that abortion will ever be outlawed in this country. look at bush: he is pro-life and has had 8 years yet the laws remain essentially the same mainly b/c those types of decisions are not in the president’s hands. while i’m pro-choice, i respect your stance but hope that you won’t take your vote away from obama because of this one thing.

If people really want to support Barack like they claim then sign up to his campaign website and get on his email list. Put your money where your mouth is and come out your pockets and help him win. Then you’ll know when he is having speaking engagements. You can’t sit around and wait for the media to tell you vital information, if it means that much to you be a little proactive.

What a pathetic bunch. Y’all are going to just be stuck in this matrix until they just totally bust your ass. You all need to Google “Bush and Marshall Law” and read. When they start the war with Iran, which will be before the election, all hell is going to break loose. Hilary and Barack support it.

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

One lasting impact Obama may have on youth–black youth in particular–is that he makes it “cool” to be “smart”. You can smart and cool…what a revelation.

I’m having a hard time with it b/c I really like his ideas and where he wants to take this country.

2. Never are you going to agree with 100% of what someone says. I would not dare not vote for someone b/c of one thing but I look at the entire picture. I will not focus on one thing more than anything else b/c it is all valid and important.

3. I never said I was pro-life or pro-choice. (if I did prove me wrong. Copy and Paste the thread)

4. The president being pro-life or pro-choice doesn’t not directly affect the overturn of Roe vs Wade but the president will decide on who is appointed to the Supreme Court. They decide on this and if a pro-life president get pro-life supreme court justices appointed then it will be overturned.

Please stop and read before you type something about me b/c I am very carefully word what I say so don’t try to insinuate or twist my words.

________________________________________________

I completely agree with you. Although I would never have an abortion I can not justify saying no woman has the right to. Some questions that come to mind if it is overturned are:

1. If a woman gets pregnant and tries to abort anyway what will be the legal punishment?

2. Will abortion doctors be punished?

3. Underground abortions will happen regardless so to what means will the law go to if a woman is suspected of having an abortion (i.e. giving every woman an unconsented exam)?

@chapter9

As long as I am an American citizen at least 18 years of age and don’t have a criminal record I do have decision on who becomes our next president. Sorry, to be honest and not to offend you.

I hope you idiots are Googleing and reading, AND NOT JUST THE HEADLINES!

YEA THATS WHAT WE TELL YOU

People, we need to first stop thinking that one man is going to stop the high rates of abortion, black on black crimes, our failing education system, etc. WE as a people need to get sick and tired and being sick and tired!

-WE need to start being a role model for our own children and not want some celebrity to do it. Whenever I decide to have children, I want to be a good example for my kids and not have them look to others for that example.

-Black people need to stop particpating in behaviors that cause HIV/AIDS- Rap it up, don’t lie to your partner, get tested, etc.

-Black people need to start being more invovled with their children’s education- Go to school board meetings to see what they are talking about.

-Go to community meetings and have a voice on what happens in your communtiy instead having others that do not even live in your community to make decisions for you.

-VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, and not just for the person you like the most but the person that has your best interest at heart, who has the same values/morals & principals as you.

-People when we point the fingers at our own selves then we can began to start making changes instead of waiting for someone to come and save us..

I have read all of the comments so far, read: up until 12:42 pm, and I must say,I am impressed with the ideas/comments given: the range, contradictions, etc. I say, keep it all up, b/c frankly, to other nations, we’re seen as not really caring one way or the other about our government, people,etc. so the fact that we’re even dialoguing is peace with me. chapter 9, I feel ya however, you’re on this site as well so (shrugging shoulders)… love.

@ OakCliffChick

“…For the person who says that nothing will change in Black communities b/c of congress, how lame are you? Congress and the Senate are majority democratic. Of course there’s not going to be legislation that says “THIS IS TO HELP AFRICAN AMERICANS”. The legislation will help conditions in which Blacks (among other races in poverty) are living in. OBAMA in ‘08!!!”

If you really believe that, then you I’ve got a farm to sell you…lol…do you honestly believe that just because the house primarily democrat that they’ll all just agree w/ whatever he proposes? R u serious?? LOL…okay whatevr…

@Delta Diva and adifferentpath

@Delta Diva

You are sooo right. Before we were freed, given the right to vote, intergrated, and affirmative action was implemented we weren’t in the condition we are in today. We didn’t do this stuff b/c we didn’t want to do it. We didn’t need someone to tell us you shouldn’t do that or let me help you cuz we wanted to help ourselves.

——————————-

Yeah, I heard this before. I know people who voted for Bush because he dedicated himself to making a change with ABORTIONS…Well, you see where that has gone since being elected, and re-elected….NO WHERE!

The next president to come into office will not have a major effect on ABORTIONS either.

We have so many problems in Black America. Having unwanted babies is a problem as is…Think of the problem it would be if you didn’t have a right to choose…

Love Obama! I like Cornell ‘s look it is hot. In a mad scientist way!

WHY PEEPS WITH JACKED UP TEEFS ALWAYS GOT THEIR MOUTHS OPEN??

CHapter 9 Get off of it!

I don’t know why black ppl are so in love with Bill Clinton. He cut social programs & funding for poor kids to be able to go to college. Black kids will stand in line at midnight waiting for the lastest Jordans to go on sale, but won’t go to vote.

Still Stuck on that vote stuff? Just a bunch of cattle going to slaughter.

Jesus Take the Wheel!

Hillary believes that an annual income of 97,000 is middle class. The median income for blacks in America is approx 35,000. Only 6% of the population makes more than 97,000 annually. She doesnt know the people whose votes she is lobbying for.

Welcome Chapter 9 to CyberSpace…but since you’re in it and YOU made the argument regarding the validity of this site (my words), your research may be flawed. Question: What book are you a chapter in? Anyhoo, @ AND, I feel ya and Delta Diva as well as Thug Passion (your name makes me giggle). Don’t get caught up in the Matrix kiddies. Keep a health amount of skepticism (a la Angel_Minded) at the same time put your vote in the ring in order to be counted (or not – Florida, Ohio) and be able to take the by any means necessary steps when the call is given. Fine As Wine, that pic is ….wow. My question to you is why do folks with stinky breath never want take a mint(hint)? ha ha

@ Bronx Brawler

I think that at the time when Bill was in office, it was refreshing for the people…He did do a lot for the America people.

As far as education, I’m so tired of ppl saying that such and such cut out moeny so kids can’t go to college. That’s just an excuse to not want to work hard. And before anyone says anything, I am a first generation college GRADUATE!!! I went out to find money for school and I didn’t wait for someone to point me in the right direction.

Black people have to get in their mind that they want to succeed(?) and go out and be proactive instead of inactive. Anybody no matter the background can get moeny for college, I did and I know plenty of other BLACK students that did.

I also agree that some blacks care more about fashion than voting but who is really the blame for that…

Shawn08

Oops @ Shawn08

I agree with your statement that abortion will not change, it’s been around for years, people will continue to do it. I feel that it’s a woman’s choice-sometimes we don’t always know what someone’s reasoning on why they do it but that’s not my concern.

-I am more concern with the state of black people and if we don’t change some things it could mean the demise of our race.

@ Kdogg

That is a shame if she doesn’t know that…95,000 would be a dream to some, most of the ppl don’t make that much : teachers, blue collar workers,nurses, journalists, and even some family practice doctors don’t make that much.

@Shawn08 and ThugPassion in OC

I feel you. It’s tough.

@Delta Diva

As far as education, I’m so tired of ppl saying that such and such cut out moeny so kids can’t go to college. That’s just an excuse to not want to work hard. And before anyone says anything, I am a first generation college GRADUATE!!! I went out to find money for school and I didn’t wait for someone to point me in the right direction.

I feel you on this one. If some black people put the same amount of hustle, drive, energy, and determination into education as they did on trying to get booty, getting nice clothes, playing video games, selling drugs, and clubbing we would be on point. I had to find my money for college too and still have to work two jobs to support myself.

@ Delta Diva, some of our priorities are whack. correct.

Democracy is an illusion!!!!

Obama is late and Hilary is over! I’m voting John Edwards!

Collaboration**

I also want to say that i am happy to see everybody voicing their opinions on this matter. Keep it up…post like this should be the ones with the most comments. ANd I forgot who said it but I TOO am wondering where Diddy is with the Vote or Die campaign this time around!

@ AND…

Going to college is not easy especially if you have to work… I did in undergrad and i used to envy those who had the moeny to pay for school but they just played around and end up dropping out… Good for you though cause graduating is a great accomplishment!!!!! Good luck in all your endeavors.Stay Strong and work hard.

@adifferentpath

Yep…..they are

It appears that all the canidates for President are bashing each other instead of what they want to do for this country to get out of the turmoil that were in!!

I am not rich and I work hard, you have to point your kids in the right direction and in encourage them to attend college. My son is going because he wants to play sports so I know I have to save and sacafice for my son.But i also have to teach him that just because he’s great in sports does not guarantee him a job, so stay good in your studies. College is not for everyone, and it is very expensive, but it can be done if you really work hard and let your kids appreciate oppotunities that some don’t get!!

@Fiddy

I commend you on your efforts and agree that college is not for everyone so pushing on our kids is not the way. They have to find something they are passionate about and know that in order to survive you always have to have a plan B.

@Fiddy

I agree with AND… that it is very good that you are encouraging your child to do other things, yep coolege is not for everyone and it can break your pockets but its good for a child to know they have other options. Good luck!

To And. . .

Aruba is a different country.

Are you all aware that most of the world’s leaders look like Mr. Obama. He is in the majority on what the world looks like.

Most of the world like maybe three quarters is look like I look, brown skin. This man is so intelligent. He is the real deal. He is the typical black person in America when dealing with caucasions. They always always under estimate what we can do.

Neither Mr/Mrs. Clinton saw him a threat. They though it was going to John Edwards or Joe Biden that was going to give her a race. They underestimated this brother.

I would recommend everyone go and hear him speak at one of his functions. This brother is the truth.

Nope, I tried, but he still aint sayin nothin new. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Obama is just a run of the mill politician. Yes, he has achieved alot and he is black, but what does that mean? He’s a distraction….bringing nothing new to the table except for the fact that he has gotten this far as a presidential candidate. He’s already made history getting this far. Obama seems like a cool man, so let him be just that…a cool accomplished black man. The people need fresh new ideas for these complex issues going on in the world today. I’ve heard alot of Obama and he’s just not bringing the presidential “A” game. In my honest opinion. No direspect to the people on here who’s really feelin this cat.

**When I state white people will benefit from welfare “reform,” I meant they benefit from welfare period. White people try to make Black people out to be the majority when it comes to the receipt of public assistance, but they are the ones collecting the most money for making babies, being unemployed, etc. White people and their false work comp claims are the reason why worker’s comp is almost not worth collecting in California. You’d be better off on disability, and that’s only if you have disability insurance.

Swami,

Don’t feed us poison. We are ready! JFK was assasinated almost 1/2 a century ago. Someone tried to kill Reagan- what’s your point?

@correct

What?

@Nita

You can’t be pro-life and pro-abortion.

‘Swami’

PREACH! -LOL

AND…

@Nita

You can’t be pro-life and pro-abortion.

—————–

Sure I can. I believe life begins at conception. I also believe that you can’t bar people from doing what they’re going to do. Abortion is as old as pregnancy is. The only way to make abortion unnecessary is to mandate a form of sterilization (ie Depo Provera, male and female version) for everybody. We can’t even get people to take the new cervical cancer/HPV vaccine, though.

Just as women have always sought ways to prevent pregnancy, women have also always sought ways to terminate pregnancies which had already begun. I believe abortion should be kept legal and safe. I believe ways should be found so that abortion presents the least amount of trauma to the mother killing her child, and to the child about to die itself. I am against partial birth abortions; once you’re at that point, you might as well have the kid. Leading from that, I wish the foster care system was better, I don’t know how that can be fixed. No one is talking about that, or about how many black children are mislabeled as ‘problems’ while bad foster parents collect tens of thousands a month in government checks for disabilities which may or may not really exist. I also am clueless as to how to get more people to enjoy safer sex, instead of fatalistic and animal-ignorant ‘it feels better without a condom’ sex. How may that be done, particularly when sex is more than pleasure, it’s an affirmation of self-worth among folks who may feel worthless?

@Nita

If that’s how you classify yourself that’s fine but in my book either you are or you aren’t. To me you are pro-choice. I agree with you can’t bar ppl from doing what they are going to do. No law does. What makes you think the children are being ‘mislabeled’? I know a family who has foster children. They get about 1,300 a month for one child not “tens of thousands a month”. Check your resources.

I 100% agree with Nita…You can be pro-life and pro-abortion!!!!

I’m not American, hell I’m not even IN America but this is such an exciting time for the US, looks like either way history will be made.

Who ever becomes your next president will have to make important decisions concerning world issues such as global warming, terrorism, Africa and the Middle East etc. Obama, unfortunately, has not received as much international media attention as Hillary so I do not know much about him. I think Hillary would make a great president and this is just based on her record as ex-First Lady. If y’all think you would vote for Obama even if he wasn’t black, then do vote for him. Do not vote for him just because he’s Black. We watched in horror as you elected Bush (not once but twice) into power. At the moment, much of the world has a negative view of America. It may take one individual to turn all of that around. Bill Clinton did it once. I’m confident Hillary could do it. And America could sure use more allies.

Do not get me wrong I have a lot of respect for Obama, he’s Black and half African. All Africans would be proud if got to become president. BUT… is he ready? Will he be able to handle international politics? Uhmm… I’m not so sure

But like I said, I’m not American, I don’t have a say. But those of you who do, please vote wisely.

Obama is the man!!!! Vote Obama! Do your research on all candidates, and choose that way. Don’t leave it to the media to make your decision for you!!!

Just for those who dont know Hill is hated hated in middle america and if she wins the Dem. She will get beat from Kansas to Neb. I got no issues with her but middle america hates here and that not seeming to change. look at non bias polls and it will show you. A uk paper is doing a story about this by traveling america and many americans in the middle of the country HATE HILLARY. So the best bet is either edwards or obama because the GOP does not have a lot to offer to make things better right now.

Obama in 2008!

Forgive my typos

Barack Obama for President & Ron Paul for Vice President 2008. Now that’s real change!

Nita, the thing is this…It’s my right vote for whoever I want. Yes, you are right,nobody is perfect, but I’m not looking for perfection. I can’t support someone just “cause he’s a cool black man”. Nah, I dont roll like that. If this was a different time in history, I’m sure I would feel differently. I know plenty of educated, accomplished black men/my homies, but that doesn’t mean I think they should lead a nation. Obama is a good politician. Period dot. No doubt about it, but he wont be getting my vote. I agree, they are all *just run of the mill politicians*, but these are the people who will be sending my sons off to kill or be killed in foreign lands….I have to make as wise a choice as I can. You have to understand that. It’s waay deeper than a race issue at this point.

And I would hope that someone in Barack’s campaign would read sites like this and share this type of info with him, so that he can see what the real black america views’ are. But here’s my question to all of you… Are you going to vote for him because he is a black man only and you want to prove something to white america or are you going to vote for him because you think he is the best man to run our country?? Or… are you going to vote for him because Oprah is backing him (that was put in there for a little bit of sarcasism)… I challenge you all to try to go to one of the debates or maybe even watch one on TV and actually LISTEN to what the candidates have to say and then post your comments. Don’t reply to what the media wants to put out there for us to debate afterwards. Media is a powerful thing. They can always twist the truth. We need to hear or see for ourselves and then decide. Oprah will be in my hometown of Columbia, SC on 12/9 with Barack at the Colonial Center and you best believe I will be there to LISTEN to what he has to say..

By the way, did any of you watch the news which accused the cadidates of planting people in the audience at the debates to ask certain questions? Even planting people on You Tube to ask questions..

Even though I am strongly leaning in Barack’s corner, because I do believe in what he’s saying and not just because he is black, I could still easily be swayed by Hilary or John. For me personally, I still think it’s too early too decide.

I heard he only got 15% OF the Black Vote though. A damn shame. Some people said he wasn’t “Black” enough…. ignorance is bliss.

SMH

Who’s that in the picture? Looks like a hobo and a terrorist.

Obama 08′

Barrack “Hussein” Obama. Islamofacist for Prez? Not!

^^^^^ Now I KNOW that FOX NEWS is in Da House, Y’all.

Barack Obama… Yes…Who said the Clinton’s were for Black folks…You can visit our churches, have an office in Harlem and kiss all the black babies you want Hilary DOESN’T SPEAK FOR THIS BLACK WOMAN…

I ALSO AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!

If people really want to support Barack like they claim then sign up to his campaign website and get on his email list. Put your money where your mouth is and come out your pockets and help him win. Then you’ll know when he is having speaking engagements. You can’t sit around and wait for the media to tell you vital information, if it means that much to you be a little proactive.

Your Absolutely Correct When are people going to learn they cant depend on media outlets you have to be active & search for your own news & the truth…FIRED UP READY TO GO OBAMA 2008!!!!!

My vote is for Obama – he can’t do any worse than what’s already been done and unlike the other candidates, he’s expressed an interest in talking to some of these controversial, radical world and leaders. I’m no rocket scientist, but when grown men/women are strapping bombs to their bodies for their beliefs, regardless of what our media is telling us, these are the actions of people who are desperate. I definitely don’t agree with what they do, but our history gives me a broader sense of where their anger and hatred is rooted. Alot of these suicide bombers are the sons and daughters of people who were victims of America’s historical greed and aggression (via mass medical trials, nuclear testing, the pillaging of oil, etc.) – their children have come to roost. I LOVE my country and I am blessed to live here, but it’s time we lost our thug/bully mentality and I think Obama’s a step in that direction.

I STRONGLY AGREE!!!

I’d vote for Al Sharpton before Obama. He has no experience and has accomplished nothing in the Senate. He is an empty suit that is going nowhere.

Hillary in ’08!!!!!

P.S. Plus a little birdie told me that the Clinton campaign is sitting on some intel that will crush Osama, er, Obama.

Hello, rikyrah… things have gotten nasty at Daily Kos, haven’t they?
