Nigga please part 10

I can not remember how many "Nigga Please" post I have written so I have label this one as 10 and shall count on from tht number. My panties are in a wad and twisted because of a recent article about Blacks in Congress being upset with Obama over Black unemployment numbers (title link). Nigga(s) please.

The article mentions something about gays and Latinos have a political voice and how blacks need to do the same. My simple, backwoods, and countryfied response is "Really?!??!!". Politics is the answer to Black unemployment? (http://politi.co/qZgksR) Hogwash and a slap of the my coffee mug to the Black "leaders" who propose such nonesense. Controlling economic resouces is the key to jobs and to havng actual political power. Get a grip potato chips. Black unemployment can be resolved very simply( education, spend less, save more, and invest in the items required by Black families for survival).

Blacks spend more and save less than any group in America(http://bit.ly/rb7zaN). There is a reason there are Koreans and Indians owning more property and businesses in predomiately Black neighborhoods than Blacks.




The idea that President Obama is responsible for creating jobs for Blacks is so backwards and demoralizing that I understand why Black America is in the shape it is. Mofo's would rather wait for a freaking handout. People wake the hell up. President Obama is no more responsible for creating jobs for Blacks than Bush. As president he is responsible for the welfare of all Americans not just Blacks. The state of Black America is on Blacks. When Obama pushed for the stimulus package we should have been knocking on the doors of local and state elected officials to accept the pacakge in its entirety. However we sat at home and complained rather than demand more of our local officals. Obama can create a plan but it is up to local and state officials to act on it. Wake up people there is a reason states' rights have become a major issue. When we sit on our collective ass and not walk to the government stimulus buffet to fill our plates we should not be surprised at the paltry plate of government etitlments our proxy bring back for us to eat. Nigga please, work with me. We should have been out full force in 2010 to vote and to get others to vote but we sat on our butts. How hot must the skillet become?

We continue to give into the HNIC syndrome which created the slave trade and has kept Hatti and Jamaica in Third World status. I am waiting for the IMF to take advantage of the issue in Sudan. Rather than come together as a people to control their natural resouces, they chose to split. The split in what was once Sudan has now created an opening to go into debt with the IMF and to lose control of natual resouces.

Our problem is not the White man or any man. We are our problem. Rappers rap about owning cars, clothes, and ho's rather than banks, cargo carriers, and highway construction companies. We sit and fret over government benefits rather than resolve to care for our own. I am willing to sleep in a tent if it means more Blacks are able to be self-sufficient. As a people we have enough buying power to invest in ourselves yet we choose not to do so. We would rather see another Black person not succeed rather than to share in his/her success. I would rather own 10% of a million than 100% of nothing. Work with me.

We need to hold our elected officials accountable. All of our elected officials. I contacted my senator about a job that required security clearance. I was up front and honest with him about my plans for the money I make from the job( bringing highspeed internet access and computer instruction to a predomiately Black and poor part of Mississippi). He was supportive and had his staff make calls on my behalf. I start work in two weeks. I could not get my Black House of Representatives member to protest with me on issues facing not just the Black community but poor Mississippians as a whole. Obama is not the problem. We are the problem. It is easy for the Congressional Black Caucus(CBC) to come out with anger against Obama on jobs. However, the qestion we should ask the CBC is why are they not using harsh words against their fellow members of Congress? Why are they not having a media blitz to promote the poliices introduced by Obama that help not only all Americans but would significantly aid the Black community. Why are they not promoting Civic education in their districits to help people understand the true nature of what Congress does. They spend more time being upset over having few photo ops with the president than they do on their actual job. Whew, Mama has spent more time on this subject than planned. It is time for me to take off my panites, wash them well and to put on a fresh pair to face the day's new round of mess.

Take me over the cliff - again

I expect many Americans in my fiscal position are fed up with the GOPs continued fight for the rights of the wealthy to pay less in taxes.  I say take me over the cliff.  I recently found a Twitter account regarding the $250K threshold.   Many of the tweets\RTs where describing the hardships of $250K living.   It is time for a reality check across the board in America.    If the grown-ups were honest about this fiscal mess, they would admit the tax cuts must end for all.  The ending should be in stages to reduce the likelihood of the need for public assistance for working\working-poor families.  Although $250K is different for different parts of the U.S.A it does mean you are not in the ghetto. There is no $250K/individual ghetto in America. If you are reading this posting and you know of such a ghetto, please let me know for I need to move to that state.  If taxes go up for individuals making $250K and above they will not face a n...

Y'all should eat my grits no cheese

It is two days after the GOP primary in Mississippi. We are still laughing at Mitt's attempt to cuddle up to us with cheesy grits and a few y'alls thrown in. In my area of Mississippi it is yaw'all(10 second word). Had he come here expecting us to be able to count to 20 without removing our shoes, he may have been taken a little bit more seriously. I am not sure if Mitt's grits ranks with Bush's "this part of the world" statement after Katrina but it ranks. Truthfully, I enjoy cheese in my grits along with garlic and red pepper. However, I do not think my love of grits, a bowl every morning, makes me Southern. Although I was born in Southern California and partially reared in Southern Wisconsin, I consider myself a full blown Mississippian. Along with keeping my grits to myself, I also speak without care of accent. The fact that I can tell you how to get from Memphis to the Coast without using the interstate or Google says I am from Mississippi. ...

We can not afford tax cuts

After the Senate failed twice to make any headway on tax cuts and UI benefits, I took a little timeout from shouting to be silent. I spent 2 hours and 20 minutes being quiet with my son as we watched Harry Potter. Today, I awaken early to get to the store to buy food to aid in my son’s combat of the season’s first cold. During the shopping and the quiet time, I continued to wonder if maybe I am the one missing something. I do not have the alphabet soup behind my name or statistical knowledge, as do those in the Senate. I may be alone in seeing a crisis where there is none. However, just as I thought to put away the shingle of my blog in favor of teaching public school, I got a retweet of a NY Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/05/us/politics/05states.html?_r=1&src=twt&twt=nytimespolitics). Reading the article I was reminded how, my close to retirement age mother, who has advanced degrees, was laid-off as a teacher under the guise of budget cuts from the state....
