Now, he has become Rush Limbaugh’s bitch too! 

The Republican party just told Michael to stay in your place NEGRO; we want you to do your step and fetch it routine but don’t think that you have any control over us at all.  Michael Steele has allowed himself to become a pawn who thought he could serve himself politically by being the Chairman of the RNC. How can you be the head of an organization that has contempt for you and your people? He thought he could become the Barack Obama of the Republican Party. Mr. Steele, you are not in the same league as President Obama. You showed us just who you are by apologizing to Limbaugh and it’s not pretty. You’re now his butt boy dude and there ain’t no getting around that.

Michael Steele couldn’t even win over African Americans in his own district when he ran for congress and using idiotic terms like “Hip Hop Makeover” is so out of  touch, it’s sad. He’s a joke.

Now for a little vent about the wonderful Republican Christians who never seem to practice what they like to preach; from teen pregnancy to being fair and balanced in their news reporting, to taking responsibility for the financial and governmental mess they left this country in. The Republican party is showing itself to be a bunch of hypocritical racist bigots and unbelievably stupid.

If you’re going to be a blowhard, actually have something to say or no one will listen and your relevancy will diminish even faster than it already has.

As always, be well

Sorry everyone, I needed to vent about this silly, silly man.

Finally, President Obama is letting the GOP know that he is not going to sit idly by while they run roughshod over him in regards to this Stimulus plan. He’s willing to fight back and let them know that he will not put up with or accept the same old tired games they have been playing for the past 30 years. He’s obviously not afraid to call them out on their bullshit…it makes me smile!

Marcus Garvey has always been a controversial figure in the Black Community. He was many things to many people, some see him as a great leader and other see him as a political charlatan.

Steve Hahn over that The New Republic has excerpted Colin Grants book Negro With A Hat: The Rise and Fall of Marcus Garvey. It’s a fascinating look in to what Marcus has to teach us now and what lessons we can take from his controversial life.

In the pantheon of the past century’s African American leaders, Marcus Garvey holds an exceedingly ambiguous place. Widely regarded, then and now, as a spellbinding orator, a tireless organizer, and an immensely charismatic figure whose ideas seemed to resonate powerfully with many thousands (perhaps many millions) of people of African descent in the United States and abroad, Garvey has also been derided as a political charlatan, a scam artist, a religious revivalist, and a racial purist who traded on the desperation and the gullibility of his followers. Some influential black political leaders and intellectuals came to see him as an egomaniacal buffoon who imagined himself as president of an African-republic-to-be and dressed himself and his legions in resplendent military attire, aping the styles of the white authorities he set out to topple. Garvey, as W.E.B. Du Bois derisively put it, was the “negro with a hat.”
