Pat Buchanan Uses Statistics To Back Up His Racist Rhetoric!

I didn't expect anything less from Pat Buchanan.He served under President Nixon & Mr. Buchanan still carries those antiquated views towards race into the 21st century.During a debate over what Eric Holder said about race,he told Dr. Michael Dyson that he needs to worry about his "own" community instead of blaming the white race,which Dr.Michael Dyson was not doing!

This segment of Hardball really pointed out just how correct Eric Holder is.It demonstrates how intense discussions about race usually gets between blacks & whites.Pat Buchanan is being disingenious when he starts using statistics to make his points.Any educated person knows that statistics should be taken with a grain of salt.Why did Pat Buchanan throw out these numbers in the first place?Well,he wanted to divert attention away from the subject.Pat Buchanan hurled a bunch of insults at an entire race of people when he should have just debated Dr.Michael Dyson.

And poor Michael Dyson kept getting cut off due to "technical difficulties"!I guess they didn't want him to get his point across.They should have cut Pat Buchanan's mike off.Because his racist ramblings made him look a bit senile.It's 2009 not 1969!!!!!

Malcolm X Was Assasinated On Feb 21,1965

Malcolm X was a self-taught intellectual whose oratorial style would give President Obama a run for his money!"By no means necessary" was his motto.In other words,his speeches weren't about non-violent protestations in the face of brutality.He was the antithesis of Martin Luther King,Jr,but he compelled people to face racism just the same.Here's more on this great black leader from Wikipedia:

"Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little; May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965), also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz,[1] was an African American Muslim minister, public speaker, and human rights activist. To his admirers, he was a courageous advocate for the rights of African Americans, a man who indicted white America in the harshest terms for its crimes against black Americans.[2] His detractors accused him of preaching racism and violence.[3][4][5] He has been described as one of the greatest and most influential African Americans in history.[6][7][8]

Malcolm X was born in Omaha, Nebraska. By the time he was 13, his father had died and his mother had been committed to a mental hospital. After living in a series of foster homes, Malcolm X became involved in the criminal underworld in Boston and New York. In 1945, Malcolm X was sentenced to eight to ten years in prison.

While in prison, Malcolm X became a member of the Nation of Islam. After his parole in 1952, he became one of the Nation's leaders and chief spokesmen. For nearly a dozen years, he was the public face of the Nation of Islam. Tension between Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad, head of the Nation of Islam, led to his departure from the organization in March 1964.

After leaving the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X made the pilgrimage, the Hajj, to Mecca and became a Sunni Muslim. He traveled extensively throughout Africa and the Middle East. He founded Muslim Mosque, Inc., a religious organization, and the secular, black nationalist Organization of Afro-American Unity. Less than a year after he left the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X was assassinated while giving a speech in New York."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest of the entry here.

Sorry to say,but this speech that Malcolm X gave is still relevant to this very day.

Michael Steele Is A Very Willing "Token" For The GOP!

So,Michael Steele will use his "blackness" to bring "change" to the Republican Party.As it's new head,Michael Steele has come up with a tried & true strategy to reform his struggling party.In order to remain relevant,he has decided that the way to modernize the GOP is through hip-hop.You see,Michael Steele believes that will be the way to win more votes.Does he care anything at all about the hip-hop community?What is his strategy when it comes to dealing with poverty & the host of other issues that plague most in the hip-hop community?

I would be interested in hearing how he will deal with the problems that are expressed in the lyrics of many rappers who come from the ghetto.But of course,Michael Steele is only interested in the amount of votes he could generate from celebrities & their fan bases.In other words,Michael Steele is a very willing "token".He knows full well that he is only the head of the GOP because they desperately need the minority vote!Now,he's looking to hip-hop not because he's a fan of the genre,like President Obama.Michael Steele just wants to find more tokens for the Republican party.Here's more on his phony hip-hop endeavor from The Village Voice:

"Now, this comes as no surprise from a party that famously managed all of 26 total black delegates at the 2008 Republican National Convention, a figure that was good for slightly less than 2% of the total delegation. This, among other things, represented a 40-year-low: a flashback to 1968 for a party that was running against an African-African candidate in a country that's 15% black. Michael Steele was there of course, getting his credentials in order: we have him to thank for "Drill Baby Drill."

Add the murderous drubbing the Republicans took from so-called hip-hop voters (a demographic approximated by mashing up the African-American vote and the youth vote, which both swung overwhelming Democratic compared to 2004, to the tune of as many as 73 electoral votes), not to mention actual hip-hop stars, and Steele's coronation was probably inevitable. And not because Steele was likely to be more effective. The tokenistic-type magical thinking that the Republicans awkwardly flashed in Minneapolis basically prophesized the party's ensuing blind faith that a moderately qualified former Lieutenant Governor and current Fox News talking head would, by virtue of being black, somehow turn back the tide.

And Steele, apparently, is going to get very complicit with this myth indeed:

"There was underlying concerns we had become too regionalized and the party needed to reach beyond our comfort" zones, he said, citing defeats in such states as Virginia and North Carolina. "We need messengers to really capture that region - young, Hispanic, black, a cross section ... We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-surburban hip-hop settings."

Nevermind that "urban-surburban hip-hop settings" are fundamentally deaf to a message that involves enormous emphases on incarceration, draconian drug laws, regressive taxes, and the shredding of whatever meager social safety net still remains in this country. "Under Mr. Steele's helm," writes the piece's author, Ralph Z. Hallow, "the 'old' may seem inappropriate in the Grand Old Party's affectionate nickname. [Steele] said he is putting a new public relations team into place to update the party's image. 'It will be avant garde, technically,' he said. 'It will come to table with things that will surprise everyone - off the hook.'"(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
