Divisive Racial Agenda

Tavis Smiley is calling for a summit.

"Black leaders" will unite to discuss the "black agenda" and what President Obama has done for the black community. The sense is that he has not done enough. Black issues have not been addressed. Or maybe Tavis et al wanted them solved by now.

If Obama really is a messiah, then he could have solved those ills by now. Alas, concerns that Obama did not have enough "negrotude" have been verified and, as Harry Reid suspected, our President really has no negro dialect for he has not spoken black enough. At least not black enough for Tavis Smiley.

Tavis Smiley has a show on PBS. PBS is 50% subsidized by the government and has been since LBJ. They do not need to compete for viewership, they do not need to put out a product that can win prime time ratings. Let Tavis Smiley go on a real network and not hide behind the non-profit status of PBS. But that's another story. What Tavis is advocating is my concern. And who he is gathering to advocate it...

Louis Farrakhan is genuinly hate filled. If being a hate filled man is what qualifies you a leader, than he is a leader is in style of Hitler- a valid analogy since they both blame "the Jews" for almost everyting from war and peace to lumpy mashed potatoes and mushy apples. But unlike Hitler, Farrakhan was abducted by aliens. Oh yeah, just ask him.

Louis Farrakhan, the raging anti-semite, hate filled alien abductee will be there.

As will Al Sharpton. Al has charmed the pants off some conservatives who take the "hate the sin, love the sinner approach". That's fine for Church, not for politics. I remember Tawana Brawley and grew up near Howard Beach. I know what Al Sharpton does when opportunities arise and how Al thrives on racial violence. And when there is no racial vilence, he incites it. Or creates it. Ask the boys in the still falsly named "Duke Rape Case" about Al Sharpton. So I for one will never excuse Al Sharpton.

These are two of the fine men who will be at the summit to discuss the "black agenda". And what is this agenda? And more importantly, how is it different than the "American agenda"? What issue is so isolated, so separate, so self contained that it does not effect society as a whole? Education? Jobs? Iran? The Dollar?

So much of what Tavis and Al and "take me to your leader" Lou say sound like good ole Marxist screeds. Black nationalism has at its core the very principles of socialism. The state (now Barack Obama) has an obligation to do stuff for us, to deliver goods for us, to respond to our needs.

Race relations are not progressing in America. They are getting worse. And so long as every group gets its own agenda and expects unique treatment, the race relations will continue to digress.

There exists no black agenda that is not America's agenda. There are no black issues that are not America's issues. And if these self anointed black leaders" think that all they needed was the right color President to change society, then they are the racist minds and hearts that poison our country.

Sadly they will have a sympathetic ear in our victimist President.
