So he has decided not to criticize the president about anything -- even about black unemployment, which is twice the national rate.]
While we know that there are no limits to the barbarism of the Evil Triplets--Cameron, Sarkozy, and Obama, did they really bomb the Great Man Made River as Pravda has reported?

DV mentioned food being the underlying issue; I see on a daily basis Latino men and women creating their own living by selling a lot of food products on their own. If it wasn't for these small business ventures, they too would be a statistic in unemployment. My wife and I are about to do the same, even though we both have jobs already.
And I agree with our host; when you nourish yourself the proper way, a lot of things become so much clearer. Subscribing to some notion of "keeping it real" with your hand out and a gut full of poison will get you nowhere.

Brother Mak ...
Yes. I hear ya man.
The Plantation Negro hustle is absurd from many angles.
Not just when our gaze falls upon Brothers Sharpton and Obama.
They are no more hypocrits than any member of the house or American who still bothers to vote.
If you vote ... you are just as much part of the charade as are these cats.
But ... alas
You missed the operative point of the piece.
What is Kissinger saying to you?
The answer to black peoples problems aint in no got damn politics.
It is not even in a damn classroom. (We graduate more and more idiot slaves every year)
Freedom for black people will come ONLY through the diet.
Food is the remote control for your mind.
Work with your boy on this.
You missed the operative point of the piece.-- DV
Yo DV, I did not miss HK's point. I ignored it to make my own points. The fact is, w/o water there is no food. Water is the oil of the 21st century.
As regards food and Afrika, I sent out this email earlier in the week.
The UK sees Afrika as its Savior
And so does the US, France, Russia, China, India, etc.
[With 50 per cent of the world's uncultivated arable land and a disproportionate amount of its resources, Africa still only contributes only 2 per cent to global trade and barely trades between its own nations at all. Sudan and Ethiopia alone are the size of India, yet the population of the whole of Africa is smaller. The issues stretch back to an age when empires were built from plundering Africa: gold and other resources were stolen and people were enslaved. But the problem is historic not endemic. The Prime Minister is right to look for a solution - as it will benefit not only Africa but Britain, Africa's historic partner.]
With partners like that, who needs enemies? The most desperate of the Evil Triplets, David Cameron asked Obama for more drones to attack Libya. Great partners are those Brits.
[Africa could be - with its fertility and size - the bread basket of a world with ever diminishing resources. It could be the centre of excellence in sustainable clean and green technologies as it starts with a blank canvas so far as infrastructure is concerned. But this will only happen if countries like the UK bring all their resources, in a fair and coordinated fashion, to join in creating wealth for all.]
The breadbasket point was made decades ago by both Nkrumah and Diop. “In a fair and coordinated fashion.” That would be what Marimba Ani calls the “rhetorical ethic.” Surely to goodness, Afrikan people have learned by now that these snakes cannot be trusted.

I think you missed Kissinger's point brah man. You're focused on what comes out of the ground. HK is talking about who controls the ground, and that's politics.
Brother Fisher sent me an email this week which deals with this.

It's interesting that we do not hear any discussions of Hurricane Katrina and what happened to a community of Black people who did not have access to food and depended on others to rescue them and had to sit for days before getting help.
We are running away from the videos of Black people outside of the Superdome in 2005 screaming to the government they need help and had no way to self-sustain themselves in that natural disaster.
To this date, there has not been any true analysis of how Hurricane Katrina revealed out weak and dependent African-Americans communities really are in terms of food supply and disaster preparedness.

Brother DV:
This is the most IGNORANT set of words ever voiced by Professional Progressive Political Preacher Rev Al Sharpton.
It implicitly details the fact that PPPP Sharpton is more interested in protecting OBAMA than he is in exploring the TRUTH of certain criticisms in relation to the INTERESTS of the Black Community.
I watched Obama fill in on MSNBC ("The Un-FOX-Biased Biased Network) for Ed Schultz the "fox howls" of this Embedded Black Fox Confidence Man were indistinguishable from the permanent White Progressive Cheshire Fox host - Ed Schultz. (the same with Prof Melissa Harris-Perry on Maddow).
At a time with 16.2% Black unemployment PPPP Sharpton felt more compelled to put Republican Mitt Romeny on trial, forcing him to prove his claim that with Obama the economy has gotten worse.
I DON'T BLAME SHARPTON!!!!!!!
The problem resides WITHIN the Black community.
Without internal PROTECTIONS of our "community consciousness nucleus" from misappropriation by embedded confidence men - the cycle will continue.
I see talk of this "Black unemploymnt rate" in numerous circles lately; Black people need to resolve this issue themselves, not Obama or Sharpton or anybody else.
DV mentioned food being the underlying issue; I see on a daily basis Latino men and women creating their own living by selling a lot of food products on their own. If it wasn't for these small business ventures, they too would be a statistic in unemployment. My wife and I are about to do the same, even though we both have jobs already.
And I agree with our host; when you nourish yourself the proper way, a lot of things become so much clearer. Subscribing to some notion of "keeping it real" with your hand out and a gut full of poison will get you nowhere.
Blacks are going to be begging Feds to bring back slavery soon...
"Many" Blacks - but not DeeVee Blacks.
When i first moved here I didn't work for five years.
I was chillin' but got bored.
When I applied for jobs everyone thought my longs breaks in employment were prison related.
I offered to work for free for two weeks at a club to get them going.
These days, clubs call ME to schedule a make over and training session.
Sometimes, you gotta' create your own employment.
[quote]Black people need to resolve this issue themselves, not Obama or Sharpton or anybody else.[/quote]
Black people need to defend the INTEGRITY OF OUR INSTITUTIONS through which the uplift that you speak of will be had.
The FIRST THING that is needed is to round up the EMBEDDED CONFIDENCE MEN and throw them OUT OF our "Community Consciousness Nucleus" like the alley cats that they are.
Just as our grievances foment a NO CONFIDENCE VOTE - these internal confidence men USURP our focus, channeling our attention into areas that profit them.
This wasn’t always the case when more people were living off the land, but in today’s society poor people have the worst diets. They cannot afford those exotic dishes being displayed by our host. The sad fact of the matter is Afrikan Americans are getting poorer.
[Millions of Americans endured financial calamities in the recession. But for many in the black community, job loss has knocked them out of the middle class and back into poverty. And some experts warn of a historic reversal of hard-won economic gains that took black people decades to achieve.
In 2004, the median net worth of white households was $134,280, compared with $13,450 for black households, according to an analysis of Federal Reserve data by the Economic Policy Institute. By 2009, the median net worth for white households had fallen 24 percent to $97,860; the median net worth for black households had fallen 83 percent to $2,170, according to the institute.
Austin described the wealth gap this way: “In 2009, for every dollar of wealth the average white household had, black households only had two cents.”]
These mom and pop stories and stories of individual achievements are great and they will help a few people, but they won’t solve the economic depression which has a vice grip on Afrikan Americans.
"These mom and pop stories and stories of individual achievements are great and they will help a few people, but they won’t solve the economic depression which has a vice grip on Afrikan Americans." -MB
And what's stopping Black people from creating their own "individual achievements"? That's where it all begins, with the individual. A lot of us ain't gonna make it, Makeru. And that's not just limited to Black people. But we need to adopt and stick with an "each one teach one" approach.
My wife and I get criticized all the time for our choice to eat healthy and create healthier eating habits for our children. I'm not going to stop what we're doing because the rest aren't with it. Let one of them naysayers (because the majority of them are within our own families and close friends)take the open invitation to have dinner at our crib though, and they seem to shut alot of that noise up.
If no one is willing to change their ways and we sit around waiting for someone to "save" us as a whole, we fail collectively AND individually. I get so tired of hearing Black folk talk about "this is how we do" and "that's for white people" and all this other nonsense. "How we do" doesn't seem to really be doing us any good in a lot of aspects. My "Black community" is the four members in this house. I deal with them first before I go trying to rescue anybody else from whatever plight they're in. And until someone can prove to me that the Black unemployment rate is as high as it is because they were targeted to be terminated, laid off and/or skipped over for jobs solely because they were Black, then it ain't nothing really but a statistic that says Black people aren't as quick to do for self as anybody else. Maybe I'm biased because I've never experienced being a victim of this racism that a lot of people claim is affecting them on a daily basis. What that mean, I'm not Black???
And eating BETTER doesn't have to be expensive. I'm telling you, as living proof, getting off all that dead, denatured food was the best thing I've done for myself and my family. PERIOD. I'm not running around acting like the knucklehead I used to, because this renewed energy and respect I have for myself won't allow me to do so. Do we eat like our host does? Not necessarily. Do I eat like the dozens of Black folk I deal with on a daily basis, limpin' around and obese, skin all jacked up harboring this negativity about everything? HELL. NO. I see cats in the grocery store spending more on pork loin and whole milk than damn near half of what I spend altogether...only there's no dairy in my cart, and maybe one pack of organic chicken for the kids. The rest is fruits and vegetables. Niggas talk shit, and I smile and tell 'em to have a nice day.
We get so stuck in doing what we're used to, when it didn't work in the first place, that we can't seem to fathom making any change outside our comfort zone whatsoever. Like I said in the anonymous comment, it's not up to some bureaucratic talkng head to do these things for us, we have to do it ourselves. Is it easier said than done? Yes...until you learn to tell yourself to do it. Is what we're doing now, with all these poor diet "Afrikan-Americans" walking around, working?
Well, what do the statistics say?
