Shame On Beenie Man If This Is True!

In case you didn't know, Beenie Man is a world renowned dancehall artist. I loved him in "Dancehall Queen", one of my favorite foreign movies. His talent is undeniable & a whole lot of his tunes are classics. I thought he was a conscious brother but I may have been deceived.I know Beenie Man has had tax troubles& went through a highly publicized divorce from D'Angel. But he has not paid child support in 5 yrs. according to one of the mother of his children. I do not claim to know the validity of the accusation. All I know is that this video was a great way to make an outcry against deadbeat dads.

What does "country first" really mean to John McCain? I think it is code language for "vote for me because I'm white & Obama is black." The only black I've ever seen him with was Barack Obama when they decided to be bipartisan on 9/11! I never see him engaging with blacks at all.I guess we don't count because everyone assumes that all blacks contemplate matters with one big singular mind. Each one of us does not have an individual brain that allows us to process information independently. According to various polls, which we all know can be totally inaccurate, the majority of blacks are voting for Obama just because he's one of us. How incompetent are these pollsters & journalists? Do some damn real research before you make baseless statements!

John McCain has done nothing for the blacks in his own state. Here is the link to that story(http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0408/9429.html). Blacks of Arizona have had no relationship with him at all during his entire time as the senator of Arizona. He has turned down numerous offers from the NAACP to discuss issues with them. Of course, it's easy to profess that most blacks will practice reverse racism by voting for Barack Obama. African-Americans have had no problem voting for whites before. That's all this country has ever offered as choices for them. Those polls & reports on blacks voting for Obama is an attempt at dividing the masses. Since whites outnumber blacks, this is a subliminal call for whites to do the same.

Presidential candidates need to prove that they can relate to you. There have been very few presidents that blacks felt had their interests at heart. Why in the hell would I vote for John McCain? He does not seem to even like black people. No consideration for the black vote has been shown. The republican stance is that he shouldn't pander to us because we're not voting for him anyway. There is not this strong sense of black unity that the whole race feels. If blacks were so unified, why are there so many problems in the black community? Every black person is definitely not supporting Barack Obama. Every white person is not supporting John McCain. People are supporting the candidate who appeals to their sensibilities. You know, the one that they would want to kick back & share a beer with!

This Is One More Reason Why Most Blacks Don't Vote Republican!

Wow! I don't think anything that Fernando C. de Baca was taken out of context. I have experienced racism from a mexican co-worker that I had. She was trying to get a promotion & feared that others would get it instead of her. For this reason, she tried to sabotage everyone that may get in her way. That is not an uncommon scenario albeit it's not the way I operate. This job was just a source of income for me so I did not even put my bid in for a promotion.But I still did not escape her wrath.

What threw me for a loop is that she injected racism into the workday as often as she could.It's not the first time that a mexican has made their dislike for me known. I just had no idea that some hispanics have such disdain for blacks. Mr.Baca claims that the racial dissent stems from the civil rights movement. Supposedly, blacks gained greatly from all the benefits that were bestowed upon them because of that event. This is the same claim that whites who are racist make about affirmative action. We have been the victims of great oppression since the birth of this great nation. Blacks have suffered lynchings, burnings,& death throughout the twentieth century. Even though we were instrumental in the composition of this great nation. As Richard Allen,a black leader, states "blacks were the first to till the soil."

How outrageous that this man would claim that blacks came here as slaves& mexicans as conquerors. Like mexicans & puerto ricans, blacks are a collage of races. The spanish conquistadors came & conquered the indians. The anglo-saxons came & conquered the indians as well. Mexicans are not from spain. I believe that they are a hybrid race just like many americans today. Black simply means the color. It does not define a race of people with a distorted & contorted history. A lot of blacks have African, Native American, & European ancestry. Watch Henry Louis Gates on PBS. His documentaries delve deep into the mystery of african-american ancestry. Racial intolerance should be a thing of the past. America really is a melting pot. Many Americans are of mixed race like Barack Obama. A large number of people have multiracial backgrounds. Any hispanic that doesn't like blacks should first learn how to define what black is!
