Politicians: Public Enemy #5- George "Dubya" Bush

Posted on 5/18/2008 1:38:41 PM | (10) Comments

What your President thinks of you.

Remember when people thought that Bill Clinton had lowered the bar for anyone holding the office of President because of his affair with Monica Lewinksy?

Well, the moron who has occupied the Oval Office for the past eight years has drug the most powerful job in the world to unparalleled lows.

Let's review some of his track record:

1. Being not even as literate as most college freshmen.
2. Using his Governor brother's state to steal the 2000 general election.
3. Lying to the American public to justify an invasion of Iraq.
4. Continuing to lie to the American public to justify staying in Iraq despite the avoidable deaths of thousands of American soldiers.
5. Using his position to line the pockets of his friends and his business ventures.
5. Having a callous disregard to the safety and well being of citizens who do disagree with his political views.
6. Selecting an overt racist to occupy the office of Vice President and Secretary of Defense.
7. Pardoning a friend of the Vice President who had been found guilty in a Federal Court of crimes tantamount to treason, despite having never pardoned any of the nearly 200 individuals sentenced to death in the state of Texas while Governor (despite DNA evidence that proved some of those individuals' innocence).

I could go on, but most people already know that Bush is a lying, alcoholic, cocaine abusing jackass that has one concern in life...getting and staying paid.

Media: Public Enemy #4- Black Entertainment Television

Posted on 5/17/2008 7:12:43 PM | (3) Comments

Bad Entertainment Television

The irresponsible programming and never ending saturation of negative stereotypes and imaging continues to be an eyesore and a blight on the perception other cultures and nations have of black Americans.

This network has been the culprit for the perpetuation of the continuous dumbing down of black youth since it's inception.

Instead of using the opportunity to provide the black community with educational and positive messages, BET fills it's airwaves with visions of gangster lifestyles and irresponsible consumerism. Not to mention the portrayal of black women as bitches, hoes and sexpots.

The network, originally founded by black businessman Robert Johnson, is now part of the Viacom family a subsidiary of the CBS Corporation.

Law Enforcement: Public Enemy #3- Clarence Thomas

Posted on 5/17/2008 10:32:18 AM | (0) Comments

The ultimate sellout?

Now that 17 years has passed since the infamous hearings that saw Law Professor Anita Hill testify before congress about Justice Thomas' sexual harassment accusations the paths which the two individual legal experts have traveled speak volumes about who may or may not have been telling the truth in October of 1991.

Hill went on to become a professor at Oral Roberts University and the University of Oklahoma College of Law among several other accolades including penning a book on race and gender in America.

Thomas went on to become a flunky for the republican party, consistently ruling on the conservative side of cases brought before the supreme court.

Instead of attempting to recollect all of Thomas' abysmal voting record as it pertains to minorities, I'll bring you up to speed on the most recent slap in the face that Thomas dealt to black people.

For years the federal guideline for sentencing drug offenders was overwhelmingly slanted in favor of offenders who were convicted of crimes involving cocaine in powder form as opposed to offenders who were caught with the hardened or 'crack' version of the same drug. For years, studies had confirmed that blacks are 10 times more likely to be convicted of a crime involving crack cocaine than powder cocaine, primarily because the crack version of the drug is broken up and sold for smaller dollar amounts than it's powdered cousin. In fact, the sentencing was such that an individual caught with 5 grams of crack would receive a sentence proportionate with an individual who had been caught with 500 grams of cocaine. This dynamic was exacerbated by the fact that federal courts had instituted mandatory sentencing laws for crack cocaine drug offenders which created a gluttony of young black males and females who found themselves sentence to uncommonly long prison sentences which sometimes exceeded the sentences of many violent offenders and because judiciary has put mandatory sentencing into place, federal judges' hands were tied if they felt as though an offender brought before his or her court may be just an isolated incident or if there were factors that may have warranted leniency.

Well lo and behold the Supreme court (a very conservative supreme court I might add) ruled 7-2 last year that the federal sentencing guidelines were racist in nature (their words, not mine), and allowed federal judges more freedom in sentencing. Guess who were the two dissenting votes? Samuel Alito and yes our man Clarence Thomas.

Let us not forget this is the man who officiated Rush Limbaugh's wedding, and you know Limbaugh is on the list.

Politicians: Public Enemy #2 - Ronald Reagan

The man haunts minorities from the dead.

I'm sure I'll get some flack for speaking ill of the dead but he was a U.S. President and as such his legacy will forever be examined for it's pros and cons. In the case of minorities however, we just need to examine the cons because for us there were no pros.

Reagan biographers write that he opposed sanctions against South African apartheid, preferring a go-slow approach. He purged the civil rights commission, and initially approved tax exemptions for private, segregated colleges. During Reagan's term, job training and anti-poverty programs were reduced.

Slate Magazine's David Greenberg writes:
The current row is about interpreting Reagan's defense of "states' rights" and his choice of venue. Was this language, in this place, an endorsement of the white South's wish to reverse the 20-year-old trend of using federal laws (and troops when necessary) to protect the rights of African-Americans?

It was Reagan who rejuvenized the G.O.P. and created the space needed for George Bush I to shove conservative politics down the throats of minorities and dissolve many institutions which had been in place to safeguard minorities from unscrupulous and racist businesses and individuals, to include law enforcement (more on that later).

To date the Republican party still revels in the legacy of Reagan and defer to his tenure whenever seeking to energize their party's base.

His body may be dead, but his legacy on dealing with the underclass still rings loudly in the current White House.

Politicians: Public Enemy #1 - Dick Cheney

Posted on 5/17/2008 9:11:32 AM | (0) Comments

The worst white person in Politics?

I know that you all might have been expecting Dubya to top the list, but in all actuality he barely cracks the top five. George Bush is a pawn, an idiot pawn to be specific, in a game played by much smarter people than him (although being smarter than Dubya qualifies most Americans).

First of all let's revisit Cheney's voting record as a congressman:

1.He voted against the Equal Rights Amendment for women, along with 146 other members of Congress in 1983.
2.On Education, he consistently opposed funding of Head Start and voted against creating the Department of Education
3.He voted against legislation to require oil, chemical and other industries from making public records of emissions known to cause cancer, birth defects and other chronic diseases.

That's just a sample of the man's mindset. Being born and raised in Wyoming it is not at all a stretch to say that he would not only have any idea of the concerns of black Americans, it is probably safe to say he barely knew any black Americans for most of his life.

Because the current President is probably the least intellectual commander-in-chief in the history of our nation...let's just face it..the man is just plain dumb. It has been Cheney and his business interests that have driven our nation's occupation in Iraq (it's only a war if two nations are fighting against each other. Since Iraq has no army to speak of, then we are not at war we are occupying another sovereign nation).
Dick Cheney sits on the board of directors for a company named Halliburton (you all know that already). How much money has Halliburton profited since the invasion Iraq? Nobody really knows, because thanks to Cheney the company isn't required to release all of it's financial information to the public (see above). However based on solid estimates on taxes paid and the salaries of some of Halliburton's top executives it is safe to say that by the time Bush leaves office the company will be approaching a trillion dolars in profit. No that's not a typo...a trillion. check out this link for more info.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rick-jacobs/halliburton-and-cheney-_b_29635.html

Aside from sacrificing the lives of over 4,000 American citizens, not including the tens of thousands of injured and maimed citizens, and families that have left behind, Cheney's war has sunk the U.S. economy into peril and who suffers the most when the economy hits rock bottom? That's right the poor.

I could write a book on the atrocities that Cheney is responsible for, but there are several books that have already been written. You don't have to look hard to find them. Just google "Dick Cheney, Crook" and you will find a wealth of information on this low life racist scum.

First up, the good old USA

Posted on 5/17/2008 8:08:38 AM | (0) Comments

I live in a country that is conceptually the greatest nation ever, and I really do mean that. The Constitution of the United States is as sound of a political document that mankind has ever devised. It represents the ideals and aspirations of a group of people who had both the clarity and ambition to will a nation from a group of social outcasts to the most powerful social entity our species has ever known.

But.....

Our republic gained it's position as leaders of the free world on the backs of and covered in the blood of the natives of this continent as well the hundreds of millions of Africans stolen and brought to the country to work as slaves.

The dynamic which these two separate atrocities created still permeates hundreds of years after the creation of the Union and the so-called elevation of the Native American and the stolen African to the status of equal citizen under the law of the land.

The relationship between the early founding fathers of this country and the stolen African nurtured a sense of intellectual as well as moral superiority in the minds of white Americans and that dynamic still hold true today.

While concessions may have been made to appease the stolen African, there has been no shift in the mindset of white America, only a small bit of allowed assimilation, primarily to either facilitate the growth of the nation or exude the appearance of piety and justice in order to further gain credibility with other nations worldwide.

In a nutshell, as much as things have changed, in the halls of power of this country and in the consciousness of those who occupy those halls, the stolen African is still viewed as a second class citizen whose collective movements and growth must be both monitored at all times and restrained.

On these pages you will find the ever evolving list of the individuals and institutions responsible for organizing that restraint.

Peace, Curly Morris.
