I listened to your radio program this evening (Thursday) and you compelled me to address some of the points that you made.
I respect that fact that you are an "Independent" and don't claim any ideological affiliation. This is not going to be a "gotcha" post. I understand that it is to the advantage of my own debate adversaries to paint me as a "Black Republican" and thus others can read between the line and summarily dismiss all that I observe about their antics. The sad truth is that since they ultimately suffer no consequences WITHIN the Black Community for fomenting "congregational unity" while failing to deliver results it stands to reason that anyone who dares question the leadership of "the congregation" about the present condition of "the church".......should be tarred and feathered. My observations of how it all works makes their labels of irrelevant significance.
Your self-identification is ultimately irrelevant to me.
I believe that you "live variously through President Obama" - "The Black President". Again this is not a "gotcha indictment" of you. There is nothing wrong with finding favor in him and suggesting ways that he could be successful, applying the assumption that his success will show well for Black people. . In doing so you are prone to talk about what he does right and wrong in the context of his reelection prospects. This comes at the cost of the consideration of the present condition of the Black Community. Ironically the "equal treatment" of President Obama that is sought by Black people turns into vicarious living. Thus when the "Commander In Chief Of The American Allied Forces" bombs Africa........those who are observing Black people can learn how to get Black folks to agree with something that would have otherwise drawn wildcat protests.
In your promotional commercial you ask a caller "How does it benefit America if the President Of The United States fails?" and then you pull out your slave whip to correct her thinking. I ask you - "What good is to have a 'failed Black America' as it props up both Obama and the favored political machine as we complicitly grieve in silence, not wanting to upset his reelection chances?". The real question that we must all ponder is: As our people matriculate through the institutions in our community that develop their consciousness and competencies - if and when there is an abrupt change in the dynamics of the world over the next 200 years will the Black diaspora have developed to the point where we can defend against a SLAVE WHIP upon our collective backs?
Certainly I do not ask your one show to carry this heavy burden. I do, however, see your show and the radio stations that are likely to carry your show as part of a "machine" way of thinking and advocacy: "The Black Racial Services Machine". Their goal is to influence Black people, today almost exclusively through politics.
I guess I owe you a bit more context to explain why your series of arguments compelled me to write.
I had just read this weeks "The Final Call" in which a series of (those who I call) "Embedded Confidence Men" said plainly that Black people's standing is ERODING while having full knowledge that their own position of confidence is not at risk DESPITE them being the architects of the strategy for our community development. ("Embedded Confidence Men = those who have strong influence over segments of the Black community who pretend that they are advancing a "Black Agenda" when their scheme is ONLY ideological and political. Judge them not by what they do that is agreeable with the prevailing Black Consciousness but what they see is FAILING but they are not willing to stop. This reluctance to stop shows that their ideology is more important to them than are the results that are received for our community).
For me it is erroneous for the "Black Political Discourse" to focus on Obama and the 2012 election in a disconnected fashion from the present state of our community development. The truth is that the "Black Community Development Consciousness" is on a 50 year run in its "politically hijacked state". It is to the advantage of the "Embedded Confidence Men" to focus Black people's attention on what we must do on November's election day to grow STRONGER instead of them pulling out a TIME LINE and then the video tape archive of what they stressed to us in November of every even year for the last 50 years.
As I listen to the antics of the people who come on WAOK prior to you and their rants about the present situation in Detroit (as just one example) their framing of the argument for Black people as the need for Blacks to prevent the "state Republicans" from coming in and removing "Black people from power" as they execute their agenda of SILENCING BLACK VOTER VOICES - rather than Detroit being a situation of an incompetent machine that is governing a city needing to yield to the state as it regulates a chartered city which is no longer fiscally viable - shows me that the "Embedded Confidence Men" within our community make for the fraudulent "stacked deck" against the interests of the Black community that I write about all of the time.
The Black Community suffers from the lack of INTERNAL INSTITUTIONAL INTEGRITY ENFORCEMENT more than we do WHITE RACISM IN AN UNCHECKED FORM today. In fact "forward thinking Negroes" KNOW that the way to get around any "congregational push back" for their failures to develop our people is to
Here are several points that you discussed today and my views or reinterpretation:
| Rob Redding's Subjects | "Constructive Feedback" On It |
| Barack Obama The "Gay Friendly" President And The Unappreciative Gay Community | Mr Redding you enumerated all that Obama has done for the gay community and how the most strident voices in the gay community are still not satisfied that he has done enough. Some even said that they were not going to vote for Obama again until he stands with them on Gay Marriage. As you were making this point and suggesting that they should think with a clearer head on the entire set of facts AND as you said that you were waiting for a 'Black Friendly President" I wondered why you didn't post us the present facts about the "Black Racial Services Machine" (the Black establishment) and how any of them that made measure of 'What Obama has done for Black people" and then vowed to not lift a finger for him in the future? A dear friend of mine - one of the staunchest "Progressive Fundamentalists" that I know personally told me that Black people's proper disposition with CONSERVATIVES is to always claim that they are "racist" so then "we" can compel them to do more for "us" than they would otherwise be willing to do per their organic nature as they work to prove that they are not "racists". Thus, Mr Redding - for "The Blacks" it pays to never be satisfied with the efforts of the ideological enemy from a strategic stand point. (Since the prevailing Black political consciousness is progressive). The challenge then is up to the "conservative adversary" to KNOW HIMSELF and what he is willing to do that supports outreach but does not ultimately COMPROMISE the core integrity of his (conservative) being. I challenge you to appraise President Obama NOT from his "outreach efforts" and apparent ungratefulness from the gay community but from his core beliefs. More to the point I challenge you to go beyond Obama and politics and consider the societal implications with the question of: "Do you believe that certain foundational elements should not be rendered to politics and popularity? Instead your personal clarity on what is best and the damage that yielding these truths will cause society to suffer.". For me President Obama's "Evolution" is a disaster for a Black Community who's core is not "evolving" but is MELTING. We made the mistake of promoting the "American Political Domain" as our VEHICLE for salvation. Instead it has turned into a "Trojan Donkey" - destroying the conscious integrity of our INSTITUTIONS just as Malcolm X warned us about. You see, Mr Redding - take Prof Cornell West and how he was stripped of his shirt and lashed by his fellow Black Progressive-Fundamentalists who are Democratic Establishment players and then double this beating for any Black Progressive who says that he WILL NOT vote for Obama in 2012. West was advocating to hold Obama up to a "progressive measuring stick" BUT STILL planned to vote for him in 2012. Just imagine this same voice who said that he WOULD NOT vote for Obama in 2012? He would soon see the difference between the "Political Machine Negroes" and the "Ideological Purist Negro Progressives" - who can't be bought or sold as easily. Do you see Mr Redding - the problem is not "The Gay Community". The issue is the BLACK COMMUNITY!!! We have a STRUCTURAL / INSTITUTIONAL problem at present. After years of "messaging" our "new norm" is that of Politics and a Protection Racket. The conditions of our communities are irrelevant to the greater quest for "Congregational Unity". Again - listen to your radio-mate on WAOK from 1pm till 4pm. Obama needs not worry about the portion of his base that LOOKS PAST their present condition, despite all of their INVESTMENTS and dutifully frames everything as a battle against the Republicans. He knows that the "Black Community Development Consciousness" is a Democratic Party Consciousness - back since the mid-1960's. Why do you focus on "The Gay Community" and how they are "playing Obama " and forcing his responsiveness OR even the "Tea Party" who battled Obama in a game of "Chicken" several months ago over the Debt Ceiling and "won" and then later did the same with the "Payroll Tax Extension" and 'lost'? (Note: "won" and "lost" are not my view - only done for expression of popular sentiment. WE ALL are "losing" when it comes to the political games that envelop our nation's fiscal conditions) The real debate needs to be how the BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS has been hijacked by its fusion into the events on the field of the "Malcolm X Political Football Game'.  |
| You Oppose Gay Marriage Because Of Your (Christian) "Religion" | Mr Redding - with all due respect - THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT (Your Version) OF YOUR "CHRISTIAN RELIGION". If slave holding "Christians" are able to find a justification for slavery in "their Christianity" do you really believe that a Gay Rights-Fundamentalist is going to yield their viewpoint based on what "Christianity" says? They are going to find other chapters and verses to hang their hat on. If a gay person with power begins to use their position of power to prevent those who don't believe that a same sex relationship should be seen in equal stature as a married heterosexual relationship are they any different than the White bigots who had Black people who damned their "civil rights" fired from the job? (Or the Whites that had Robert DeBarge - the White father of the popular singing group fired in Detroit of the 1950's after they found out that he was married to a Black woman? Source: TVOne 'Unsung' show) More likely though, they are going to do what other "Special Interest Christians" do: Find some other "bible rule" that others are violating and then say "If not US then why THEY?". Their goal is not to promote a more consistent Christianity, removing hypocrisy so that "Jesus' Love can flow with less obstruction on arbitrary matters". Their goal is to tell others "stop hating on us and we will agree to look the other way on 'Your Sin' ". If someone slips up and calls them on their scheme of "Hypocrisy Surfing" by implementing a "Fundamentalist Revolution", adopting a more strict and consistent reading of the Christian verse for ALL who claim the label "Christian" to submit to - they would lead the fight AGAINST such a revival as they know that their present call out of HYPOCRISY is merely an indictment that is used as a weapon to disarm the other guy. They had no interest in getting their critics to comply to Christian tenets . Only to shut up. Your argument "Because my religion told me to" is not going to work. They will tell you that Jesus and Allah talked to them last night and told them otherwise. (Yet another Institutional Integrity issue in another form). MY argument says that every society has the mandate to define the order of living among the people within as they drive for a stable, conscious and productive population of people who matriculate through the societal institutions. The establishment forces must stand accountable for all that is produced. "Good Intentions" and "Maximized Liberties" - while noble ventures on the front end, must be discarded as we look at the bottom line results that are produced. As such - as I look at the proportions between the total number of homosexuals seeking marriage versus the total number of heterosexuals who do everything that married couples do yet do not submit to the bounds of marriage and the stabilizing effects that it has on a community and society - the bottom line point is that the later greatly dwarfs the former. The argument is not that these two points are mutually exclusive. The issue IS about scale and importance in the large scheme for a stable society. The same social consciousness that seeks to promote "Gay Marriage" has been incompetent in addressing the societal challenges with heterosexual marriage who's erosion is have a greater deleterious impact upon our society. A clear thinking society would force them to sufficiently address the far larger issue and the damage that it causes our society before they are afforded any credibility in the "bit issue" they advocate. When faced with this point of clarity they must reduce the argument into RIGHTS(!!!). This is an attempt to make an indictment against those who disagree with them and thus render him as a "Bigot". Though their points of "tolerance" and failed enforcements produce far, far, far more damage to our society - they depend upon the growing tide of disconnectedness between the FUNCTION of societal order and the dysfunctional results. You mentioned that a female learns her "female ways" based on the examples that is in her world to pattern after. I was puzzled why you didn't take this same argument and apply it to the greater society and the RELATIONSHIPS that are noted and accepted? I hear even the most blatant Black progressives talk about the breakdown of the family as the root of our community's present travails. Their main different from my standing is on the subject of WHO is responsible, they favoring an external force that seeks to destroy us. I understand that those who are intransigent in their "conservative ways" against change are commonly criticized as bigoted and hateful. We have not developed the language to apply to the special interest groups that are functionally pulling the threat that hangs from the "societal fabric" which provided us with boundaries at the side so that we could move forward. Some people believe that a "Do what you want as long as it does not hurt anyone else" as the height of consciousness. In as much as our present cultural consciousness is defined by generations 3 hops backward - the societal consciousness that these unbound social agents are driving for is unable to stand on its own because it doesn't stand for anything. They must be forced to prove that their radical ideas which attack the traditions that allowed societies to flourish for several thousands of years are in need of abandonment and replacement. They can't show any affirming evidence in the small places where their theories stand alone. They dysfunction in these places they seek to nationalize.  |
| President Obama's Body Man | Mr Redding - I understand that you are both a political analyst and as a radio host you must bring up light points that will keep your audience interested. I personally could care less about "Obama's Body Man". If he had chosen Rihanna as his "Body Man" and Michelle was down with it while Bill O'Reilly was provoked to call him a "swinger" - it would not change one damned thing about the important issues that plague the Black Community - long after we were compelled to "Invest Our Pot Of Gold" in our "Salvation By Obama". When I read the web sites of more committed "Pragmatic Obama Bots" their overload of "Obama Paparazzi" is merely done to filibuster against the critical analysis that they should be doing "in these times". No sir - NOT a "critical analysis of OBAMA". There needs to be a critical analysis of THE BLACK COMMUNITY'S ANTICS with reference to the entire "American Political Domain". Long before Obama and his "body man" came on the scene the Black Community was told by the 'Embedded Confidence Men' that
Who is monitoring the veracity of the past promises made to Black people to provoke our support? The ones that were painted with "Black paint" but in truth had an ideological/political core that is now rancid? Now they try to change the expiration date and resell it.  (Please go purchase this week's "Final Call" and see those who (mis)lead us now saying that our condition is eroding but they give no hint of self-imposed silence as they acknowledge their role in leading us to this place) |
| Libertarian Gary Johnson A Threat To Obama's Reelection | (I understand that you argued about Gary Johnson in terms of "The Gay Vote") In your discussion of Gary Johnson you, once again, lived vicariously through Obama, wondering about how Johnson's entrance might shave votes of of Obama. Again I challenge you to look past Obama's fate - he has an entire campaign staff to do his strategic thinking about his campaign - and instead consider the fate of the Black Community. REGARDLESS of if there is 20 non-Democratic candidates in the generation election or they all drop out and Obama stands alone - President Obama is going to get 95% of the Black vote - regardless of how our fate at the time stands with regards to our "Permanent Interests". Your radio mates look at this as evidence that "Through UNITY The Black Community Remains Strong". Unfortunately this merely provides evidence of the disconnection between the "Investments" that our community can be compelled to make and our will to manage our "Return On Investment" for our interests. TO BE CLEAR: VOTING against Obama DOES NOT provide proof of "Black 401K Investment Returns Protection". The failure to have a development channel other than high-stakes party policies IS PROOF that the Embedded Confidence Men have no plan for our development other than through their Progressive-Joint Venture with other groups. I suggest, with all due respect, instead of limiting your analysis to the "warm bodies" that jockey for position within the "American Political Domain" - you go through the video tapes of past successful attempts at drawing the "Negro Development Hopes" and set up a stronger defense of our sacred vault full of jewels. The present debate over Detroit shows me that THEY AIN'T GONNA CHANGE!!!! These forces know that Black people are most attuned toward "White Racism" and they have successfully fused it to "The Republican enemy". The damage to the Black community IS NOT that it does not provide an open mind to "Republican outrage" - as Herman Cain claimed as "brain washing". The real damage to the interests of the Black Community is that our present prevailing consciousness affirms the present hijacking by the Embedded Confidence Men who know that the community will dutifully follow along regardless of how much they have failed us. THIS CONSCIOUSNESS is a threat to the Black Community beyond any concern that we should have for President Obama's reelection. |
| Hillary Clinton May Replace Biden In VP Slot | (See entry for Gary Johnson above) |
| "The Occupation is a movement that shows anger at both Democrats and Republicans" | Mr Redding: On this subject I will work to prevent any particular application of "guilt by association" upon you as this is not a "gotcha" post. I disagree with your assessment of "The Occupation". I am aware that you went to Atlanta's Woodruff Park in support of "The Occupation". I now see the "Civil Rights Pharisees" attempting to latch "The Black Agenda" upon "The Occupation". For me - "The Occupation" is a (mostly) left-wing faction that provides the "Back In The Day Leftists" with an OUT that allows them to save face from necessary accountability from where we stand after taking their "Do Better Medicine" for decades. (Note - though "The Occupation" is racially diverse - my focus is about BLACK FOLKS and their agenda with relationship to "The Occupation") It comes as no surprise to you that there are factions within the Black community who are committed to "The Struggle Motion". The springs in the chair of the studio you broadcast from get exercised by activism of the person who sits in that seat just prior to your arrival on the air. I have called out the 'Insider Trading" that is present within the "Black Racial Services Machine". Those who architected the strategy that our community has been executing for almost 50 years (the "Post Civil Rights Era") have no intention what so ever to submit to a TRANSPARENT appraisal of where we stand. Despite having achieved all of the METHODOLOGICAL points that our people were commissioned to focus upon (political activism to elect people that will advance "Progressive Public Policy") our RESULTANT CONDITION within our community should otherwise call in to question the integrity of their agenda and if any "back room deals" were cut at our expense. Mr Redding - these forces know how Black people think (more than I sometimes give them credit for) because they are Black. Just as the conditions within our community draw the storm clouds in which a "No Confidence Vote" is cast upon them and their entire machine - they know that if they get Black folks STRUGGLING - this will necessitate that we drop our "foolish disagreements and grievance" and work against this greater threat. The sight of the "Would Be Last Black Mayor Of Atlanta (If We Don't STRUGGLE To Not Let This Happen)" - as we were told about 2 years ago now falling out of favor because he chose to enforce the same laws that kept the 98% Black homeless population in Atlanta out of Woodruff Park is a contradiction in terms that a book should be written about. In their anger they called for a recall vote against him. They said that HE "Wuz Working For Da Man". NEVER did any of those who still have their finger prints on the Diebold voting machine after having cast a vote for him challenged on their ability to do "character analysis" and thus suffered a loss of credibility. The point is that Mayor Reed was placed into power - by Atlanta's Black Racial Services Machine run the affairs of the city. When his job ran counter to THEIR wishes - "The Fight The Power" faction temporarily broke with "The Civil Rights Pharisees". Today "The Civil Rights Pharisees" are using the "cooling off" of tensions (since they are no longer in violation of the law in the park) to use "The Occupation" as the scaffolding that the "Black cloak" will be erected upon". They now wish to take up:
My goal is not to do a "gotcha" on you.
My goal is to ask you and others who are not as "over the edge" as many of your "broadcast buddies" to identify Where the Black Community' PREVIOUS INVESTMENTS are placed under a forensic audit to show APPRECIATION since the contributions made since the 1960's? The very energy that the Civil Rights Pharisees are seeking to resurrect today.
I understand that the Black community's political consciousness is largely a lumpenproletariat consciousness. That which is said to oppress its goals of prosperity is more damning that that which has been adopted as a cure for what ails them. I am even willing to accept that there are people with pure intentions - new to the game and thus having no "finger prints" on the video tape from the past. This does NOT dispel the larger truth that there are OPERATIVES FROM THE PAST who's agenda is to escape accountability by keeping us "Consciously Occupied". I understand that the national Occupation plans to wage bipartisan attacks of civil disobedience. I wonder if the BLACK OCCUPATION is able to see that certain Operative Activists -DESPITE their common ideology and apparent position outside of elective office have functionally been operatives for those who are in power and thus this TAINT should force them to be expelled from "The Occupation" least its own integrity be compromised. Failing to enforce INTEGRITY - "The Occupation" will merely be a reincarnation of that which brought us to our present condition. It risks having its official mascot be the "Groundhog" with the Civil Rights Pharisees demanding that the groundhog have black fur. |
Mr Redding - what was the common theme out of all of these posts? (I'll help you)
INSTITUTIONAL INTEGRITY ENFORCEMENT!!
My respect and trust of "The Black Press" is at an all time low (inclusive of all written, spoken and video 'opinion givers' and influencers") .
They prove repetitively that they see no difference between their role as marketers of the METHODOLOGY through which our people are promised increase and their job of making a TRANSPARENT APPRAISAL of the "water level" that we have amassed.
Like the abusive boyfriend they insert themselves so intricately in the lives of their "love interests" that "she" never has enough "self-time" to identify HER OWN INTERESTS that are separate and distinct from her abusers.
If there was ever a time for "The Black Press Activists" to give VOICE to a victim - it would be the voice they give to the "Black Rank & File" in defense against the "Black Racial Services Machine" as it has been hijacked.
If there is a brick that "The Occupation" needs to throw - it is the stained, glass window of "The Congregational church" building that the Black Racial Services Machine has erected. Let the gas out via the broken window .....................or wait until the Street Pirates that they have fomented with their benign neglect steals their HVAC unit - causing them to open their doors because of the heat that has built up inside.
