Black leaders to Haley: You're a minority, too
COLUMBIA -- Civil rights leaders bothered by South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's stance on issues like requiring voters to show their IDs at the polls are reminding the governor that she is a minority, too.
"She couldn't vote before 1965, just as I couldn't," said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, referring to the Voting Rights Act that abolished poll taxes, literacy tests and other ways whites across the Deep South kept minorities from voting.
Jackson and other critics have said the law is merely a new, covert effort to take away the right to vote from older blacks and poor people, groups who historically tend to vote for Democrats and are less likely to have a driver's license or other government-issued ID.
Both Haley's parents were born in India and came to South Carolina before she was born. Haley - a Republican who became the state's first female governor - never dwells on her heritage, but she has occasionally mentioned it in her inaugural speech or stories from her childhood. Almost all have the same theme of overcoming adversity.
She refused an interview for this story, instead sending a statement through her spokesman, Rob Godfrey, defending her support of South Carolina's law requiring photo identification at the polls. The governor has said the measure is needed to prevent voter fraud.
"Those who see race in this issue are those who see race in every issue, but anyone looking at this law honestly will understand it is a commonsense measure to protect our voting process. Nothing more, nothing less," Godfrey said in the statement.
Professional Progressive Political Preacher Rev Jackson was not able to ALSO note that in 1965 no Black man could get elected into the mayor's seat of Detroit, Philadelphia, Newark and so many other MISSION ACCOMPLISHED CITIES.
Despite the fact that more Black people have their Permanent Interests injured in these cities that Jackson runs his "Protection Racket" upon - he and other Civil Rights Pharisees seek to make us believe that CARDING ALL AMERICANS will disparately harm THE NEGRO VOTER. This more than the governing consciousness that took over Detroit, etc.

Rev Dr LaFayette, who I saw last year engaged in the fight over the "corner office" at the SCLC in Atlanta believes that we are too slow to see the slight of hand that he just pulled with his interview.
We should be THANKFUL that he and other "Civil Rights Pharisees" are still around because they were alive so see all of the TRICKS that were use to keep Black folks from voting.
From this bit of CONFIDENCE we are asked to buy into the notion that EVERYONE BEING ASKED FOR PHOTO ID is a KLAN TRICK to keep the Negro out of the polls.
You would be better off, Dr LaFayette organizing a foot patrol around the "King Compound" in Atlanta to keep our people safe from Street Pirates stealing their wallets and thus not having their driver's license than you can claim that carding everyone is voter suppression.
They believe that if they repeat it enough that more people will believe that it is true.
SOME CONSCIOUS BLACK PROGRESSIVE FUNDAMENTALIST is going to have to GROW A PAIR and stand up to the marketing of BLACK INFERIORITY as they see that the SHORT TERM GAINS for their ideology has a tragic impact upon OUR PEOPLE.
I am now reading what I wrote in my church program from yesterday's message entitled "THINKING FOR A CHANGE":
- Has the method that you have used delivered the results that you have hoped for?
- Control Of Emotion - (when a 911 operator receives a call they are trained to have the caller focus on the SOLUTION to the problem and NOT THE PROBLEM that is upsetting them. )
- SEE THE FUTURE THE WAY THAT GOD SEES YOUR FUTURE / THINK the way that YOU WILL NEED TO THINK in the future for you to obtain your God-given goals
- Take control over your thoughts (Fear, Anxiety, Depression are all barriers to your uplift)
- The Tongue will direct you where you want to go in life
- A small bit placed in a horses mouth can lead this massive beast where the rider wants him to go
- CLEANSE THE PAST (Don't create a "better you" create a 'NEW YOU' with alignment to God's purpose
- CHANGE YOU FROM INSIDE OUT - You have no power to CHANGE when you stay in your present environment. Move yourself to an environment that is more CONDUCIVE TO YOUR CHANGE
- As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT "CHURCHES" YOU ALL GO TO but if the church leaders keep referring to you as;
- THE LEAST OF THESE
- THE FLOCK
- THE VULNERABLE MASSES
they AIN'T TRYING TO DEVELOP YOU TO YOUR FULL POTENTIAL. They can't trust you to do the basics, let alone the complex things.
It might be true that the (Racist) Republicans see "The Blacks" don't carry Photo ID as much as other EQUAL HUMAN BEINGS DO and thus see this as a means of voter suppression.
HOWEVER - it is also clear that the Democrats see that a "Negro with a Ballot in his hand" will act in a predictable manner yet when conditions are crafted as was seen in TV One's showing of "Brick City" that came on last night - that NEGRO will walk past the schools, crime, unemployment and broken relationships in his community and VOTE ONE MORE TIME for CHANGE.
More malicious that the RACIST who wants to deny you your rights in the AMERICAN POLITICAL DOMAIN is the EMBEDDED BLACK FOX CONFIDENCE MAN who exploits your BLACK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CONSCIOUSNESS that resides in the "Black Community Cultural Consciousness and Competency Development Domain" and compels you to affix this, the most VALUABLE HOLDING that our people have and get us to invest it in to AMERICAN POLITICS.
NO house has ever been built on more effective quicksand.
Professional Progressive Political Preacher Rev Rev Jackson - PLEASE LAY OUT YOUR PLAN IN WHICH THE BLACK MAN WILL NO LONGER BE INFERIOR PER YOUR RHETORIC?

For blacks and whites whose parents and grandparents were born in America, have we lost the abiity to hire someone for President whose parents, nor grandparents were?
When Romney revealed that his father was born in Mexico, and his mother was born in Wales, all of the GOP lost the ability to attack Obama on the status of his citizenship.
The reason for Presidents born in America is nothing more than to assure Americans that their interests are "rooted" in America so that they will not steal the U.S. Treasury for interests associated elsewhere, and will not use the power of the Presidency for any purpose other than that acknowledged as appropriate for the U.S. citizens.
The U.S. and its resources belong to America, and is, technically, not up for grabs to any who would grab them through political power for any other purpose. That is why each and every member of Congress and the President takes an oath of allegiance to the American people and the American Constitution before taking office, and can and should be held to it.
Loosey goosey ethics is America's greatest enemy because those are what divides America. And divided, she falls.
