My case is justified by my inspection of the "Bev Smith Show" yesterday (in addition to the general pattern that is expressed on "Fight The Power" Black Progressive Talk Radio AND the streaming propaganda that is coming out of the Lampblacked Yellow Journalist Press as election season heats up and they need to reaffirm their control over Black Community thoughts using racial fears).
Again I go back to my analysis of the "Sharpton /West Debate" on the "MSNBC Presents The Black Progressive Agenda - Featuring Ed Shultz" broadcast as my key reference. This diagram shows how so many Black people are INACCURATE in their analysis of what has transpired.
Caller after caller on "The Bev Smtih Show" got it wrong. They desired to "keep our dirty laundry in-house" but were LOATHED to see through the facade that this entire presentation was. If you want to talk about BLACK ISSUES - you don't do so on the biased MSNBC network and you, most certainly, don't ask Ed Schultz to be the moderator. Both the venue, the host, and the line up of panelists speaks VOLUMES as to what this actually was: Evidence that THERE IS NO LONGER AN "ORGANIC BLACK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MOVEMENT". There is ONLY a political movement in which embedded progressive-fundamentalists are USING our grievances as Black people to channel our "equal ballots" through the Democratic Party and every other tentacle of the "Black Establishment" is usurped into this agenda.
For ME - the evidence of a "credible BLACK AGENDA" is shown by its ability to FORCE A STOPPAGE of what has been implemented but which is INJURING US!!!
Yet these inside traders have no motivation to do a transparent inspection of what is really going on IN OUR NAME - because in doing so they would have to do a self-indictment. In the void of a transparent overlay structure to ensure that our Black Consciousness is never molested in such a manner - they all are free to do as they are doing and claim that by mere MAJORITY CONSENT - they are the purveyors of "The Black Agenda" - their INTENTIONS trump their RESULTS for the benefit of our people.
Black People Would Prefer To Operate A Protection Racket For President Obama As His Success And The Democratic Party Success Means "Black Success"
"When President Obama turns on the radio (Black talk radio shows) HE doesn't need to hear all of this negativism. People tell of their LOVE FOR OBAMA and then they say 'BUT' and tear him to shreds. We need to have a 'SUPPORT FOR OBAMA' section in these shows so that everything is not negative" - said one caller on the Bev Smith Show.
(Note: When you hear "criticism" of Obama from Black Quasi-Socialist Progressive-Fundamentalist Racism Chasers it is important to put it into the proper context. Cornel West WAS NOT giving ABSOLUTE criticism of Obama. He was holding up PROGRESSIVE POLICIES as the ideal reference and then criticizing him on his LACK OF FIDELITY in delivering PROGRESSIVE OUTCOMES.
At no point do you have an ENUMERATION:
- Black Unemployment is now X
- Black Academic attainment is now Y
- Despite having more favorable people in the stack of Institutions - Black Economic standing is Z....
which would cause them to go down a line of thinking which would have them to consider that their STRATEGY is not working because the FOUNDATIONAL ASSUMPTIONS are in error.
They are merely criticizing the TACTICS, not the STRATEGY. They ultimately seek to fight against their Conservative enemy - even when he is gone.)
The common theme heard among the callers of the "Bev Smith Show" yesterday is that Prof Cornel West violated some vow of protection for President Obama. If they had their way they would want to avoid having WHITE FOLKS to see that Black people are anything but UNITED in our support for Obama. That these disagreements should be handled without a recording device going. Ironically these "back room deals" in smoke filled rooms in the past is how Black people's rights were systematically molested. Just let an adversarial city council try to violate the "public meetings policies", just as they are suggesting with regards to "the Black Agenda" and THEY would be the same people protesting this action.
The real question is: IS THE BLACK AGENDA TRANSPARENT and thus has nothing to be embarrassed about in a public showing?
The truth is "NO!".
In the modern form it is a biased perspective, having been hijacked by ideologues who care more about fidelity to their ideology - results be damned. As long as they can retain control over the ability to make indictments - and have them shine outward - all will remain content about their commitment to our cause.
One caller said "Obama is being asked TOO MANY QUESTIONS from Black people". (WTH?)
"We need to begin to appreciate when 'a brother' has to deal with the hand that he is dealt and help him to get what little he can get for our benefit".
Again - Black people are asked to FUSE our "Racial Development Goals" on the back of President Obama - who just happens to be a Progressive Democrat. They are loathed to note that this same machine already dominates every single institution where Black people had the final say in who would represent them. Instead of establishing a check point by which what our community has received in benefit thus far along the road that was constructed by our leaders and their joint-venture partners - the "congregational agreement" is that we will LOOK FORWARD at who is OPPOSING the prevailing ideology that we have fixed upon as a people.
Thus having "President Obama" - a Black man, a Progressive, a Community Organizer - in the office of the President - is an opportunity for the Black Community to receive our desired outcomes by becoming "ground laborers" - supporting the LEADERSHIP that is streaming from the White House.
If there was ever a time to set up a firewall between "The Black Consciousness" and "The American Political Domain" - just as Malcolm X warned us about - THIS IS IT.
Sadly the mindset displayed by these bevy of callers show that, in their desperation - they are willing to fuse these two incompatible domains.
When we take a step back and look at how the present "Lampblacked Yellow Journalists" and their "Black Blogger Understudies" are acting at present (more claims of RACISM - targeted at interesting targets while their benign neglect about INTERNAL issues that are producing "Klan Results" for our people) we can gain an understanding of WHY they are so focused on these targets by first understanding that they see the need to use their CHANNEL - as part of the "Black Establishment tentacles" that they have control over to project the "congregationally agreed upon" message that they have fixed upon - Use The Democratic Party to project the PROGRESSIVE ideology, where its success one day will mean "Black Success".
Again I am not challenging their right to have a given ideology and political preference. I AM challenging their right to USE MY RACE - claiming that they are working in our "racial best interests" but are so unwilling to be transparent in their willingness to report on their real intentions - mostly by standing accountable for the RESULTS.
Simply put - there is NOTHING that Obama could do - there is NO resulting state of injury that can be experienced by the Black community - after having been totally represented by this ideology and machine that is going to cause the Black Establishment to express any contrition and submit to "opening their books".
The Republicans!!!!!!
I love a logically laid out argument. It bothers me less that someone else has a different world view from me and thus emphasizes some attribute that is different than my own. What gets me is when this difference is buttressed by some "conspiracy theory" or more importantly a "Violation of the Proportionality Filter" to allow it to remain as a valid argument in the person's mind.
One caller named "Jay" laid out the case that Obama is failing us because he (get this) is "not telling America what the REPUBLICANS are up to!!!".
"The GOP wishes to dismantle Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security - the very programs that have lifted us up in this country".
Here is what I marvel at.
If you look at any actuarial chart on any of these programs.
If you look over to Europe where nations that have advanced such social transfer programs more comprehensively than we have are now on the verge of having to make massive cuts, despite their high taxes already - Or the entire nation will implode fiscally.
If you look at the present condition in America and how each of them are growing in their portion on the "balance sheet" of all states and/or the federal government - and how it is expected to GROW in the future - I am just floored that a person like"Jay" can take in all of these FACTS and yet see that it is the REPUBLICANS who are the real threat to these programs.
I have learned from the past that you don't "debate" people like Jay. You instead must make sure that you never allow yourself to be under the political control of him. Since the numbers don't matter to him, because they would otherwise force him to acknowledge that his previous assumptions may need to be altered - the only thing that one can reasonable do is to ALLOW Jay to have his way - but only within a sandbox where he can't take your sand.
As we consider the tragedy of Detroit, Flint, Camden, Newark and Cleveland - I am made to wonder if Jay has any inferential skills? In these places - past electoral victories translated into ideological and policy advancement - just as he would have us to implement via President Obama on a national scale - did not prevent the present situation which presently imperils people who live within.
With Jay and other progressive-fundamentalists - if they focus on the ATTACKS on "Programs" or "Workers Unions" they don't need to focus upon the underlying failure to sustain an economy who's "water flow" was necessary to keep the reservoir from which these programs and the public unions tap into - FULL.
Indeed both of these elements are attributes of a higher level of societal living. Government workers are able to provide high level services to the constituents within. The big 3 entitlement programs enable the elderly, the handicapped and the poor - the ability to live closer to a minimum standard of living that would otherwise be impossible - absent the program.
I GET IT PEOPLE!!
Yet when it comes to assigning the SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY in allowing people to live up to this higher state - per the "American Social Contract" - people like Jay appear to have no qualms in having the government used as the "collection plate enforcer" in the religion of "Social Justice".
As they ask "So you think that the RICH should be allowed to live high on the hog while the poor suffer at their feet?"
Wait, wait - how did you make this logical leap from considering the OFFICIALS who you promoted into power to take care of your interests via the INSTITUTIONS that they now control - over to wealthy people having some special "authority" and thus obligation?
The one construct that appears to be an anathema to people of a certain ideology is "ORGANIC COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT".
If your child is being sent into an academic institution that is support to DEVELOP her, yet as you sample your loved one for evidence of INCREASE and you keep noticing that they are barely treading water in their advancement - do you begin to take a look at the individual and the institution OR do you retain your commitment to the institution, promoting its expansion across more venues?
This is the debate that Jay needs to be brought into.
Jay argued that BARACK OBAMA needs to be made to understand the PLIGHT OF STRUGGLING PEOPLE.
I thought that he was a "Community Organizer" - detailing his grounding?
When various progressive groups - Union officials, Progressive Press agents/bloggers and Civil Rights Operatives were brought into the White House thus far - they were NOT brought there to "Give the President a piece of their mind" in expressing the voice of the people!.
They came to the White House to COORDINATE STRATEGY, taking Obama's VOICE (which is the PROGRESSIVE IDEOLOGY VOICE) back INTO the Black community - having us to remain united - not holding HIM and the platform of POLICIES accountable for the LACK OF INCREASE over TIME!!!!
The grounds of the SELLOUT BY THE BLACK COMMUNITY - to our PERMANENT INTERESTS have been laid out.
Then Jay "hurt me" in his closing comments.
He noted that President Obama told of his intention to go after WALL STREET SPECULATORS AND OIL COMPANIES that are driving up the price of oil and gasoline - hurting WORKING CLASS PEOPLE.
He then asked Bev Smith:
"Why is it that no one in the news is looking at the timing of Obama's attacks on Wall Street and Oil and Michelle Obama's airplane almost getting into a mid-air collision? It shows that if you try to cross them THEY'LL TAKE YOU OUT!! "
(A tear streamed down my mind's eye when I heard this. Anyone who was attached to Jay's reasoning via his impassioned presentation about Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid could not help but be disappointed that he chose to add on this conspiracy)
I notice that talkshow hosts like Bev Smith (and some right wing hosts) are content in allowing their callers to spew such foolishness IF this foolishness ultimately serves as a hit against their common enemy.
Jay gave no consideration of the complex coordinated conspiracy that would have to transpire for Mrs Obama's plane to be made to fly 3 miles behind a large military transport plane instead of the 5 mile distance necessary to avoid the turbulence that it kicks off. Doing all of this the right time after Obama's Oil Speech.
I could not help but notice that NOT ONE CALLER focused upon:
- Obama and the bombings in Africa (note: Italy has notified its intentions to join in on the bombing using planes launched from its runways)
- (Most Certainly) No one mentioned how the printing of DOLLARS is making it weaker. The Oil Prices - denominated in DOLLARS is this raised in prices - because OIL HAS NOT LOST ITS VALUE as the dollar has.
