States Rights: President Ronald Reagan and Professor Michael Fauntroy

Just imagine if embedded "Humanities Professors who Progressives who are Democrats who are Black" were held to a certain amount of rigor and consistency in their stance?

	Ronald Reagan	Barack Obama
States Rights	Reagan mentioned the words "States Rights" in the context of solving problems at the local level. This was seen as a "wink" to the Klan to start killing Black people again by those who have a pen and a creative imagination.	In 2009 when the debate regarding the state of California adopting auto emissions standards that were more punitive than the federal government standard, President Barack Obama articulated his belief in STATES RIGHTS.  Unfortunately no member of the Lampblack Yellow Journalist Press desired to create a narrative that could be used as an indictment against a "favorable president" that they had worked so hard to get elected.
Paying Tribute To People Murdered	Ronald Reagan was attacked for daring to go to the town of "Philadelphia MS" and not saying a word about the 3 Civil Rights workers who were murdered 16 years prior to that day.  His choice of Philly MS was said to be a "wink" to the Klan	In the Presidential Campaign of 2008 then candidate Obama visited the murderous city of Philadelphia Pennsylvania.  Forget 16 years prior.  In the year 2007 more than 150 Black men were murdered on the streets of Philly PA.  Neither Obama or any of the other Democrats on stage mentioned a thing about "dead Black people".  Obama returned to the city a few months later to do his "Race Speech".  Once again no one asked him to comment on the Black men who were murdered in the city - not even the ones who had been killed between his spring time debate and his present speech. I guess with journalist Jack White having retired from Time Magazine at the time - there was no one to craft a narrative that would stick to Obama.
Black Job Losses and Program Cuts	In the audio report above Prof Fountroy notates the job losses that were created under Ronald Reagan and the cuts to federal government programs that previous progressives had Black people DEPENDENT on.  This left the legacy of hatred against Reagan by the Black Establishment and the Black Rank & File. They use Reagan's name in vain today more than Sean Hannity uses it in praise.	President Barack Obama sits atop a MACHINE that enjoys popular and unchallenged support among Black people DESPITE their track record of having implemented policies that destroyed jobs in certain local markets which destroyed the tax base and thus lead to program cuts. One must conclude that as long as you don't INTEND to harm Black people economically by directly cutting programs - one need not worry if you had GOOD INTENTIONS yet produced the very same result.

Professor Fountroy is one of the greatest operatives of "Keep Your Enemies On Trial So You Never Have To Talk About The Damage That Your Friends Have Done".

I can imagine that in the future his narrative on Obama is that he "tried" despite the headwinds put forth by the Republicans who where the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan.

I could ultimately care less about Prof Fountroy and his views on President Reagan.  The bigger issue of concern to me is that he and other Progressive-Fundamentalists will forever live in fear that budget cuts at the central government will impact "The Least Of These" all the while THEY will never be held accountable to show that they have made any of those they shepherd over into the "UN-Least Of These".

It would be no surprise to me that Prof Fountroy would be in support of  "DC Statehood".  This would expand the power of the Democratic Party to fight against such cuts in "social justice".
This at a time when this same plot of land as a city with people favorable to the good professor has shown its inability to govern itself, producing negative outcomes that he attributes to what Reagan did to Blacks.  The non-voting delegate representing the city (Norton) always blaming some "Southern Republican" opponent as the root cause.

UPDATE:  Psst - Someone tell the co-founder of Afro-Spear that while Regan increased the federal DEBT by about $1.3T over 8 years.....................his favored president who sits in office has had a $1.3T DEFICIT every year that he has been in office.  Unlike Reagan, Obama has a bevy of Progressive-Economists demanding that he do more deficit spending because they like his kind of "deficit spending".

I am actually stunned that certain progressive talking points are still spoken despite the fact that the present circumstances should have shattered them:

• Commenting on an enemy president's debt spending
• Commenting on unemployment under and enemy president
• Focusing on national budget cuts by the enemy party while looking past the local economic erosion of their friends that leads to lower productivity and then lower tax collections, mandating spending cuts

UPDATE: To his credit then Senator Barack Obama noted how "People are killing each other in Philadelphia PA".

The fundamental point of my argument remains.
The operatives with a pen crafted a narrative which seemed to accuse Reagan of "pulling the trigger 16 years prior" in the hopes of indicting him in their agenda of "Ideological Unity Enforcement" among Black people.
Ironically they would tend to credit Senator Obama for expressly recognizing the murdered Black people on the streets of Philadelphia while withholding the fact that TODAY the city of Philadelphia and so many others are in the "Mission Accomplished State" that they have long struggled to obtain. Despite this fact they escape any blame for these conditions. A murdered Black man's value is determined by who kills him.
