VISIT MY WEBSITE TO SPEAK ON THIS QUESTION: Should a Black Agenda Be On President Obama's Agenda?

Recently, media personality, Tavis Smiley and civil rights activist, Reverend Al Sharpton have been engaged in heated conversations stemming from a New York Times quote, allegedly made by Sharpton, saying that he feels the president is wise not to "ballyhoo" a Black agenda.

Returning to his old stomping ground, The Tom Joyner Morning Show, Smlley also called out NAACP President Ben Jealous, Urban League President Marc Morial, Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree and civil rights icon, Dorothy Height -- arguing that these individuals have not sufficiently demonstrated that they care about the interests of the Black community

You can hear (by CLICKING THE PLAYER) and SPEAK ON to the conversation between Smiley & Sharpton, which raises the essential question: Should a Black Agenda Be On President Obama's Agenda?

Bless you my brother for this much needed, over due post...


Yes "I" do believe we need an agenda spicifily for our BIA, Gaddy...We need this as a safety net for our youth's "DAILY" lives,security, and their welfare all over America... our public schools (not just our 4 year colleges )should S-T-O-P the 400 years old BRAINWASING OF OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN'S BIA(to and by us in our local communitys) AS A CURSE ON BOTH HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND ON MANKIND IT SELF!!!!!!!!!!

our children needs to be taught in our public schools from the African-centered BIA and not this Euorpean -center view of those CNN specials...example,

THE LAST CNN'S BIA special MADE A SPECIAL TRIP TO AFRICAN TO SHOW THAT BLACK SKINNED PEOPLES THERE WERE JUST LIKE HERE IN AMERICA...THE FATHER IS IN PRISON AND THE CHILD IS DOING BADLY IN SCHOOL...

WHAT REALLY GOT MY PURE ***** UP WAS WHEN THE CHILD SAID HE WAS DOING ALRIGHT IN SHOOL, SHE (the special's hostess) MADE SURE THAT "A-L-L" WATCHING THIS "SPECIAL" KNEW HE WAS ALSO A LITTLE TREAINED LIER AND SAID, "HE IS NOT DOING WELL IN SCHOOL"...

"I" SAID "TRAINED LIER" AS IT IS MUCH BETER THAN SAYING "A NATURAL BORN LIER"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!("I" am not smiling, brother Gaddy!!!!!!)

Again thanks for this blog, Gaddy...YES WE CAN...OVER COME SOME DAY...
