Hillary To Attend State Of Black America

[Van Allen]

SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON TO ATTEND
THE STATE OF THE BLACK UNION 2008


The Hillary Clinton campaign today announced Hillary will attend this year’s State of the Black Union, a symposium hosted each year by Tavis Smiley Presents.

“I care passionately about delivering solutions to the big issues we face in this country," said Senator Clinton. "After 35 years of working on issues like education, health care, and racial equality, I am ready to continue the dialogue with symposium participants and to further outline my platform to move this country forward,” she concluded.

State of the Black Union 2008: Reclaiming Our Democracy, Deciding Our Future brings together a diverse group of participants including entertainers, political and community leaders who will discuss the state of the Black community and seek to educate, enlighten and empower America.

Tavis Smiley, oversaw the collaboration of The Covenant with Black America. In 2007, Smiley moderated and executive produced the Democratic and Republican All-American Presidential Forums on PBS. This marked the first time in history that a panel exclusively comprised of journalists of color was represented in primetime television conducting a presidential debate.

Senator Clinton is the only Democratic presidential hopeful scheduled for this year’s event which will be held on February 23, 2008, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

THIS IS WHY I SUPPORT HER. SHE RESPECTS BLACK PEOPLE AND WOULD DO GOOD BY US. BARACK WOULD NOT HAVE COME, BUT NOW I AM SURE THAT HE WILL YA'LL BLIND AS A MUTHAF**KA.

She was on the steve harvey show and they broad had the nerve to equate the struggles that women like her mother went through to the black struggles.

 

[Makkonnen]

van asshole is on ignore but let this be a lesson to you

I told you Tavis was a HIllary booster. Shillary is a coward and there is no way in hell she'd go to the SOBA without personal assurance from Smiley about her treatment. This is the bitch running on the coattails of Bill"Look at me clown Sista Soulja" Clinton.

While I can see the pros and cons of both candidates, the fact Tavis values the "political cronyism with Shillary" system more than the "across the board fairplay-good govt" system tells you how backward he is. As long as it requires backroom political deals from scumbags like the Clintons just to get a few racial handouts the issues Tavis claims to care about will never be addressed. There is a certain point where status/class can alter progressive political perception and Tavis is at that point. Mental circle jerks with the likes of Cornell West are nice for passing the time but have added up to next to nothing in actual on the ground movements that actually help those in need.

Harvey is another Coon who is devoid of substance. He's been giving that bitch free ad time by replaying her giving her talking points as his daily show advertisements.

Please don't ignore, I enjoy and respect your opinion and want you to hear mine...even if we don't agree.

She respected us so much she worked to get Barry Goldwater elected, even though he blatantly called for courting Southern Democratic racists.

Im disappointed in Tavis and Steve Harvey.

 

[Cock Head Jones]

Last year black folks were mad that he didn't make his initial announcement that he's running for President of the US at the State of the Black Union 2007.

My man Cornell West even took a few shots at Obama at the event.

 

[Cock Head Jones]

Funny thing is Clinton can talk freely about how being a woman have helped her understand struggle. She can talk freely about what she "wants" to do for black people. Obama can do none of that. He has to be all inclusive in his statements because a black man talking about helping black people when he becomes president would scare the shit out of a alot of his supporters.

Because theyre jackasses. Had he pigeonholed himself in terms of race he wouldnt be where he is today. It is not unreasonable for a person to have cultural ties but to frame his broad political aspirations in terms of a shitty event I stopped watching because year after year of lipservice ends up doing NOTHING, is stupid. Corny West knows better.

I think it is sad to see Tavis and Corny being this stupid. Shows just how aloof and full of shit they are.

Do I want to live in a country where my black children can die in foreign wars but get some shitty meaningless handout and not have habeas corpus? Or do I want to live in a country that actually tries to live up to what it is supposed to be about? That's the real difference between Obama and Clinton.

IT'S ABOUT TO GET DEEP. THIS GUY, OBAMA, DON'T KNOW WHAT HE IS ABOUT TO GET HIMSELF IN....HE GOT A LOT OF SHIT THAT CAN COME OUT.....BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

 

[gene cisco]

I dont support neither obama or billary, as they represent shit. This is just another ploy by spineless billary.

They got balls to stand against each other and undermine the party and american people but did shit in the face of bush.

Yeah, billary was the wife of bill, who was the president when some of the most draconian drug laws went into being that fucked us more than anybody!!!!

8 years of bush got us desperate like a muthafucka that did 30 years in the joint. Muthafucka think he doing something at a weight watchers meeting.

THAT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT, IF YOU LOOK AT IT.

Hilliary does have her black supporters, for some reason BGOL kats don't seem to realize that? Hillary does have a ghetto pass/card which is prolly due to the fact that she's a member of an all black church theeeee most sacred thing to some blacks folks, people will see past color when it comes to hillary just as if she was an "ordinary person" in the congregation.

Yours Truly.....Professor

Please don't ignore

nigga have some pride


anyway, she can do that, it won't look like shes showing favortism

Obama can't do that because it would look like hes just for blacks only. I hope niggas can see through the facade.

 

[djdez]

fuck HILLARY AND BILL!!!

...how much effort does it take to ATTEND any function?...

...just a little bit of gas money and some free time...

 

[Mr. Met]

I love Obama, but Hillary pulled a serious coup that can lend Barack a major blow.

This is usually held in a black church so do not take this lightly.

 

[audio syndicate]

why do black people insist on giving him a pass to pass UP our issues? "if he does that, he wont be seen as all inclusive" so wait, you allow him to completely ignore our issues? that's sheepish in the worst way.

if obama talks about our issues at our forum, i don't think anybody will be up in arms, you wont see 3 inch headlines above the fold saying BLACK OBAMA SUPPORTS BLACK ISSUES.

if you ever wonder why he doesn't have 80-90% of the black vote, that's why..

So what? Black Churches and black people are some of the principal abusers of black communities.

They were at Eddie Don Magic Long's bullshit house of inequity before too.

You don't think Shillary and Bill will be trying to play that as him being only interested in black people or being the "black" candidate? If so you are naive.

Here's a newsflash for you too. Name one thing that has happened as a result of these State of Black America shows over the years that has helped black america.
None of the majority of the speakers on that bullshit stage do any more than they previously have. No nominee by virtue of their addressing that audience will help any black people other than the hacks and shills on stage next to them.

I used to be up on here postin video of that bullshit. Every fucking year- NOTHING HAPPENS
Its a worthless joke.

Remember last year? The year before?
Sponsors? Kaiser Permanente? Ever hear Nixon talk about Kaiser Permanente in his White House recordings?

Tavis is a fuckin hack

he's certainly NOT seen as the black candidate, and some black people are wondering why he's going so far as to AVOID black issues. the more we talk about our issues and develop an action plan, the more leverage we create moving our agenda foward.

if we DON'T talk about it, we don't keep any of our issues relevant. we have the fantastic opportunity to have a democrat at the head of each of the seats of power minus the supreme court. that signals to me we have a chance of pushing our agenda foward.

for the past 7 years we've been under a president who probably didn't see a real black person until adulthood. this particular state of the black provides a platform to say, if you want OUR votes, this is OUR agenda, we want it to move foward.

black people are being expected to vote for obama, but we don't hold his ass to the fire with the same scrutiny as the other candidates. if and when he gets into office, you think all of the sudden he'll be like...ha! gotcha bitch..now its time to move my people's agenda foward

wont happen....

This is my personal favorite quote from this cat, says all I really needed to know about him...

the dirtier obama gets in his tactics, the worse he looks

people (average) are NOT buying into the hype and are starting to see him as nothing more than a chitlin' circuit preacher..

i did a political forum for politico.com the other day and this white woman said, obama gives a lovely speech, but i don't see his plan for doing all of this. quite ambitious.

others had similar things to say, a local republican pundit asks where's the beef?

im not typing any of this to stir the pot, more to put you negroes on notice that not everybody is buying into the hype.

obama needs EVERYONE to buy into the hype and the way he does that is with CLEAN POSITIVE POLITICS!!

Wait a minute. Farrakhan gon be there? Cuz if Farakahn gon be there I'm tunin in with popcorn, snickers, grape soda and some chicken wings. That shit would be OFF DA CHAIN! Cuz you KNOW Billary travel in twos so Farrakhan on the same stage with the Clintons is like a nigga pumpin gas tryin to light a cigar at the same time. An explosion waitin to happen.

im happy to know people are going out of their way to belittle what i say...

don't talk to him, he makes too much sense.

i have a "wicked personal problem" with people giving obama a pass, you're absolutely right..

but at the same time, people aren't voting for obama the person...

reread the highlighted quote, people i deal with on an everyday basis in my career, which is producing live events, political forums....i said that

this year alone i've done 5 or 6 union based general sessions and people are debating who they should go behind, the sentiment is he's a great speaker, but where's the beef?

i agree he's a great speaker, but a great speaker a president doesn't make

i'm sure if i typed all this with a 20 post count i would have been dismissed as a FTP, im sure somebody in the background is working on it...need any help? let me know..
