Cornell and Tavis go to bat for the poor
- Thread starter Mr. Met
- Start date
Sell out and sell outer.
Smiley & West....sounds like a comedy duo
really. 2 niggas that want nothing to do with the black community unless they in the spotlight. 2 of the biggest coons ever. all is missing is jesse
are they charging for their world tour and donating the money to the poor?
or are they simply doing the same talking points they have been using.
and while West is doing this is he still being paid from that elite University ?
are all the production people for their show and this tour poor blacks that they are giving knowledge and experience so that they have a skill and can possibly leave the ranks of poverty?
Once again what are they doing to resolve the issues that they point out every chance they get.
Are they out working to stop the states that are making it harder for the disenfranchised to vote? Are they doing anything to help end poverty? Are they providing legal services for the poor who are unjustly arrested but can't get meaningful legal help.
or are they just doing pr for their radio show and publicity for future speaking engagements and books.
What are they really doing to end poverty or help the current poor ?
Are they funding work programs. What about West doing a jobs fair with all those scholars who have passed through the hallowed halls of the elite learning institutes where he has worked. I mean those people have to be some valuable connections.
Just what ?

I'm listening to the Warren Ballentine Show now. He is hammering these cats. He trashing them because they are selling books on the tour. In fact he is still going on and on about them now. Here is a link to listen to his live show.

He's full of shit.
Now he's blaming rappers and athletes.
Not once has he put the blame on the church for our money woes.
$14bil a year, remember?
I knew the hate would be strong.
Two guys who been doin it before an Obama even existed, now they're coons?
How is Obama this big revolutionary?
Doing what ? Talking and selling books .
So if they been doing what they doing for years and it is still necessary them maybe what they doing isn't worth shit ?
What are they saying about
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/08/08/1004541/-Standard-s-CEO-Gives-$$$-to-Romney,-Bush,-GOP-Party
Not part of their agenda?
So what if they're selling books.
So was Obama during his presidential run, remember?
You're acting like Obama's election win wipes out what his detractors have been doing for years.
I'm glad we have Cornell and Tavis doing the work for Black folks!
They need to just get the fukh out the way and calm down. Of course the media is paying attention to these black dudes trying to sell books off of Obama's ass...
Have you even read any of their books?
So what if they're selling books.

Was he selling books or were his books selling during his run for president.

You aren't listening to the show I see. He is putting blame on black churches.
They are the sole problem of what?

its not so what
its a big fucking farce if these dude are on a poverty tour while ensuring the poor people who come to these tours to hear them speak, continue to be in poverty by giving them x amount for the show and the book and these 2 get even richer and don't donate shit towards the many solution secrets they seem to have that nobody else does.
this is the difference between LEADERS
AND these niggas... and i thought i was done with that word
but im sorry
these dudes are selling freedom and hope for a price
THE LEADERS WE USED TO HAVE DIDN'T SELL IT FOR A PRICE. if they got paid ANYTHING they accepted it.
how much did malcom charge for his appearances at marches and at the temple?
how much did martin luther king jr charge the people to come listen to the i have a dream speech
i gotta get out of this thread
All truth. I give Cornell and Tavis NO credence. NONE. Get out this thread darling. lol
In other words these folks aint in the trenches putting in work. They folks aint giving up the truth. They are poverty pimps selling the poor comfort for their bad choices in life.

Obama wasn't selling books,if you remember his books were released prior to his running. They were reissued when he became candidate and they self themselves because of that.
What is West or Smiley's expertise in knowing what is the problem and how to resolve them.
These talking heads spread misinformation but offer no tangible solutions.
Neither is poor so again what is their expertise ?
It's like people saying oh Obama should have implemented the 14th amendment. But they have no constitutional law experience. They have no political experience they were just running with something they heard.
They didn't seem to realize that had Obama done that there was already a lawsuit ready to be files along with an injunction to stop it.
The surpreme court is still 5-4 GOP majority so the lawsuit was sure to win.
Then the GOP had already been talking about an impeachment because of over stepping and because of their house control thge articles would have passed.
Gee I didn't know they had best sellers on the market.
BTW, the March on Washington was financed and got outside donors, many of whom were white and liberal.
Forgot about that, didn't you?

which part of that word "DONORS" means that the money went right into Martin's pocket because he directly asked for it?
and who gives a fuck if they were white and liberal
what importance is that to this topic? and by financed do you mean the finances went into his pocket or do you mean transportation, permits and equipment to make sure that everything was paid for so that civil rights was ensured to have a place and a voice for an important event?
were there tickets being sold to get to the lawn to stand outside to hear it?
and was there a transcript of the speech available at vendors for $19.99 so you could buy the speech and read along as he read it?
I wouldn't blame the church for taking freely given money for word service no more than I blame a drug dealer, it is the people and drug addicts which seek out their services for other than reality experiences and upliftment...
He is saying that the african american churches nationwide (or those who reported honestly) have been taking in 14 BILLION dollars a YEAR, many in those same poverty stricken neighborhoods
I forgot who commissioned the study but there was a thread on it by JD Walker

You're making this about money like Tavis and Cornell should travel the country for free and talk about this.
Does the 'truth talker' Warren do his talkshow for free?
Does Farrakhan do his speeches for free?
Who does shit for free?
You're basically turning MLK into this spotless figure.
He did great things but he was anything but.
Man, fuck all of this.
A bunch of grown people whining. This is the real world, and it has pity on nary a soul.
Either you're making money, or you're not. No one is going to solve the problem of poverty but you.
If you think 'it ain't that easy' well ... fine, then. Rot in poverty. That's what's going to happen whether I say it like an insensitive asshole or not. I'm sick of coddling people. We've done it so long that it's expected by the individuals being coddled.

THEY SHOULD
why bring up Farrakhan when i don't consider him on the same field as mlk and malcom...
spotless has nothing to do with his infidelities
it has everything to do with his heart and intentions for his people.
i don't care about donations
i do care about a cover charge
