I've read over all of the comments on facebook, twitter, etc. It saddens me that most widely miss the mark.
Government corruption, and its complete capture, by those that they are supposed to regulate, is the single most prevalent issue. It goes deeper and is far more complex than a stupid sound bite or a one sentence explanation.
Signers of the U.S. Constitution
After the repeal of the Glass Steagall act, financial institutions were allowed to merge cross platform industries. Retail banks could merge with commercial and investment banks. They argued that when the economy was good, the population invested in the market. When the economy was bad, they saved. In order to allow a one stop shop, they wanted to merge the two. Some senators and congressmen immediately saw that this would create monolithic entities that would crash the system, but no one listened.
Let's go back even further to understand today. The banks put out propaganda saying "the banks don't want your house, they want your payments." During the 1800s the banking community was a bit more overt. They passed around a "memo" saying, "if you mess with the banks we will crash the economy and buy all the property up, pennies on the dollar." Fast forward 100 years, and guess what happened? In fact, they have done this over and over and over.
Also remember, they finance the wars, they finance the crashes, they finance the middle-class slipping into the lower-class, they finance the democrats, they finance the republicans. Only a fool looks at our system and thinks there is someone somewhere who is honest and pure and just isn't being listened to. No politician is paying attention to you. They are being financed.
The american citizen is under direct assault. They are financing your freedom right out the door.
Anyone saying anything other than the economy is the single-most important issue, is a fool. This is america, the dollar is king. Yes it can buy happiness. It can buy power. And, with enough of it, it can buy freedom.
I'm amazed no citizen groups have pooled their money to finance and float their own candidates. You call yourselves adults? Don't you realize what's going on?
Now that all the dust has settled, and it's old news, let me give you the clarity of 20/20 vision in hindsight, about Herman Cain.
Herman Cain was as nameless as Obama when he entered the race on the GOP party ticket. He remained so for months. Finally after making some appearances, and people got a chance to hear him actually speak about completely revamping the tax system his campaign shot through the roof. He became a household word and his polls were tied to Rick Perry and Mitt Romney, even beating out Ron Paul.
Herman Cain
THEN, AND ONLY THEN, did these women accusers come forward. BUT WAIT, you're forgetting.
Cain actually ran in 2000 against George Bush. He said, his was the better campaign and idea, but the party "chose" Bush [ I think he means, the party, not the republican voters ] He ran in 2004 for a senate seat.
You're also forgetting Cain's 2010 campaign weathered numerous attacks against nearly everything the campaign put out: such as his 9-9-9 flat tax [ finally someone actually campaigned for it, which is what the country needs ] and other attacks.
Then the "anonymous" accusers came forward. Nearly every female voter turned on Cain, immediately siding with the accusers.
Let's look at this. Cain is almost ahead in the polls, then the first woman appeared. Cain and friends completely wiped her aside. Then another came forward. Again Cain was cleared. Then another and another and another came forward. Then one came forward saying she had had a 13 year relationship with him. Mind you all the previous women who had claimed sexual harassment had occurred all with the same few years, when he was president of the NRA, and no accusations had occurred before or since that time, and all of their claims were found to be baseless and denied. They were all summarily fired and given severance pay.
One of the accuser's claim of sexual harassment was based on her saying that Cain told her a dirty joke.
Another accuser who had called Cain a "monster" in a press conference had been seen running up to Mr. Cain backstage at one of his rallies and giving him a big hug. Cain's reaction was that he did not know the woman, or didn't recall the woman. He later told reporters such as well.
Most all of the accusers were found to be destitute, [ that's poor for you who don't know big words ] One lady was not just poor, but living large. It was found she had a habit of swindling money out of people, described as a smooth operator.
Now, let me let you in on a little secret. Politics is a game played for keeps.
Remember, NONE of these women came forward when Cain was a nobody. In fact, they didn't come forward when Cain was picked as the GOP candidate in some straw polls. They only miraculously showed up when Cain's campaign had tremendous momentum and tied Perry and Romney in polls. And, all of the accusations had happened 19 years earlier.
Do you really think this was all a coincidence?
Now, let's look at these women.
Karen Kraushaar
Karen Kraushaar
A woman who settled a sexual harassment complaint against GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain in 1999 complained three years later at her next job about unfair treatment, saying she should be allowed to work from home after a serious car accident and accusing a manager of circulating a sexually charged email, The Associated Press has learned.
The report goes on to allege, on the basis of an unnamed former supervisor of Kraushaar’s, that she demanded “thousands of dollars in payment, a reinstatement of leave she used after the accident earlier in 2002, promotion on the federal pay scale and a one-year fellowship to Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.”
The offensive email described in the story
Computers are Like Men…And Women…
From e-mail forward…
Computers are Like Men…
In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.
They have a lot of data but are still clueless.
As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you had waited a little longer you could have had a better model.
They hear what you say, but not what you mean.
Computers are Like Women…
No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
You do the same thing for years, and suddenly it’s wrong.
Ginger White [ a homosexual woman ]
Ginger White
The female bodybuilder who once ran a bicycle business with latest Herman Cain accuser Ginger White says the Atlanta woman never mentioned the Republican presidential candidate, who she says was her lover for 13 years.
"His name has never come up," said Kimberly Vay, who told ABC News that she and White were former business partners.
But Vay, who filed and won a libel lawsuit against White, refused to comment directly when asked whether she considers White's accusations about Cain credible. "When you see the details of my lawsuit," said Vay, "they will speak for themselves." She then referred ABC News to her attorney.
According to Vay's suit, which was filed in June 2011, White and Vay were partners in a fitness coaching business called No Limit Cycling, and held spinning classes inside the Martin Luther King Recreation Center, which is owned by the City of Atlanta. In November 2010, claimed Vay, White asked to end their partnership, with White continuing to operate No Limit Cycling, and Vay agreed.
On December 9, according to the complaint, White sent a "defamatory" note to a master email list of the company's clients and to city officials. The email said that White's business had "come tumbling down [on] the day I invited Kim Vay into my life and my business" and that Vay had turned her "dream" into a "nightmare." According to the complaint, the email alleged that Vay, a competitive bodybuilder, injected veterinary drugs into her system prior to contests," and also said that Vay preferred to date black men but had made derogatory comments about black women's hair.
Kimberly Vay
Vay's complaint termed the allegation about drug use "false, malicious, defamatory" and "reckless," and therefore libelous.
Both women retained attorneys, according to Vay's account, and reached an out-of-court settlement in April 2011. In June, Vay filed suit, claiming that White had failed to live up to the settlement and that she was entitled to sue for libel. Vay's attorney Kurt Martin told ABC News that White had failed to honor the financial agreement that had settled the case.
Vay also told ABC News that she had filed a petition for a restraining order against White, but that the petition was never finalized and no restraining order was issued.
Ginger White says she had an affair with Cain for 13 years... It might be a good idea to tell **Kimberly Vay** ----- which is Ginger Whites ex-lover and ex- business partner ... and, as stated in court records, they were lovers for the last 13 years (they're gay) .... Plus, **Kimberly Vay** just recently had a restraining order on Ginger White for months because of threats and stolen funds --- most important, **Kimberly Vay** says she never heard of the name "Herman Cain" until recently.Let's not forget those 9 lawsuits in the last 8 years - and Ginger White was served 2 weeks ago for nonpayment of rent -- again.So, let's make sure I got this right .... Ginger White, says she had a 13 year relationship with Herman Cain..... but, **Kimberly Vay** has all of the Atlanta court records and the time element and has proven she was in a 13 year relationship as her lover and her business partner and they shared the same diggs for 12 of those13 years (which ended 10 months ago..)So, between Herman Cain running Pillsbury, Coca-Cola, Godfather’s Pizza, running programs at the Department of the Navy and doing the Neal Boortz show .... he had the time to secretly have another affair with a gay lady who hid it from her gay lover for 13 years.
I'm guessing no one mentioned she was gay, because it might have brought into question her credibility. I'm sure Herman Cain knew and didn't bring it up because he didn't want to out her. Notice he never attacked the personalities of any of these women.
Sharon Bialek
Sharon Bialek
Twice filed for bankruptcy and the suggestion that she was financial stable because she lived with a wealthy fiancé proved false: He’s unemployed and on the verge of bankruptcy himself and — oh, by the way — he’s not actually her fiancé anymore. Also, Bill Kurtis said Bialek had a “history,” whatever that means.
On his radio program Tuesday, Mark Levin aired a clip of veteran journalist and CBS anchor Bill Kurtis on WLS saying that Herman Cain’s accuser, Sharon Bialek, is a former CBS employee with a “track record.” Given her checkered past, a chuckling Kurtis posited that Bialek‘s and Cain’s roles in the alleged car-incident could even have been reversed.
Some of Kurtis’ observations on Bialek were as follows:
“She has a history.”
“There is a lot more to this story.”
“I can assure you that there will be far more to this story.”
“Let’s put Herman or Sharon in the car and say their roles may even have been reversed, given her track record here.”
Bialek worked for CBS radio station WCKG from 2006-2007.
A friend of Ms Bialek, from Chicago, told the New York Post: ‘She has a very infectious personality.
It’s easy to see how she won [Cain] over. But the reality of her situation is — she’s a complete gold digger. It’s all about the money.’
Adding that she was from a middle-income family but lives in a posh house while running from bill
collectors, the source said: ‘Most of her jobs ended in termination. It’s always the employer’s fault, not hers.
‘This is a lady who lives off the system. She is hellbent on finding a way of never having to work and living the lifestyle she wants to live, a very affluent lifestyle.’
Russell Simmons happens to be on my twitter. [I'm actually amazed myself]
So he tweets: there is too much violence in the community ... and if we are silent, we are guilty.
typical non-sense from ignorant people
So I tweet back: It's not the violence in the community it's the lack of jobs / Black-owned businesses. They found as money goes up crime goes down
Russell Simmons Takes a Pic of Himself Nude in Public
And they found this across the board, regardless of race. People need to stop blaming race on a problem we can fix. These idiot Black billionaires need to stop coddling "the man" and go about doing something real about the Black community.
Russell Simmons needs to put his money where his mouth is. He could fund a thousand Black-owned businesses and make a tidy profit to boot. He could transform the community.
This goes for Bill Cosby, Oprah, Snoop Dog [Lion whatever], Russell Simmon, Reverend Run, KRS, Jay-z, Mary J Blige, Beyonce.
If they're going to talk, they first need to get some BUSINESS knowledge and put their money where their mouth is.
Why Black Americans Vote Unquestioningly for Obama
To be Black in america, there is a notion that white people do not understand. Although we do not live in Black communities, like Asians, Italians, Jews, Mormons etc. do, we pressure each other to act, behave and think alike. The worst of this pressure is political pressure. This pressure is exerted upon us by preachers, leaders and the media that is bought and paid for by the Democrat party.
With the advent of the internet and an endless amount of information, I see no reason why Black people should vote for not only Democrats, but precisely Obama.
Obama has single-handedly impoverished more Black people than any other president since Lincoln.
- promised illegal aliens no persecution, so that they can continue to compete for low end jobs Black americans desperately need right now, A.K.A. the current depression
- extended NAFTA which depresses the mexican economy, creating more of the same problem we already have with mexicans looking for a better life in america
- handed down new policies of "don't ask don't tell" for mexicans not needing to show proof of residency to obtain welfare and other benefits they have never contributed taxes to
- received the largest campaign contribution from wallstreets own, monolithic financial firm Goldman Sachs
- railroaded the country and congress into signing the obamacare bill, after failing the first time, after americans called in droves telling their representatives to not sign for it
- not only extended but expanded the patriot act
- not only extended but expanded the campaign in afghanistan, even after the false flag of "killing Bin Ladin" the last boogie-man
- promised to lower payroll taxes for americans, but raised all other income taxes for a net tax INCREASE on everyone's paychecks
- oversaw the largest wealth depletion amongst Blacks than ANY OTHER PRESIDENT EVER, IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY
That's Obama
There is no defense for him. It galls me to no end that my own Black people defend him. They listen to what he says, but do not pay attention to WHAT HE DOES.
I'm not a republican, but facts are facts: Blacks have ALWAYS done better under republican adminstrations. However, the Black leaders keep telling their sheep that democrat is the way to go, although democrats have torn down what little games Blacks have made under republican administrations.
It is maddening that the Black middle class votes democrat, while the evidence is plain as day: they have done better under republicans than democrats.
It is also plain as day that more Black families have slipped from middle to lower-class under Obama than under any other president. And, he has said time and time again that he is "not a Black president and will do NOTHING specifically to help Black people"... BUT THANKS FOR ALL THE VOTES MORONS.
Conclusion
If Black people want a fighting chance, they should vote Libertarian. Most of the social programs that the poor Blacks subsist on, do so at an egregious price, the Black family.
You cannot be on public assistance and have an intact family. A woman on assistance has to get rid of her husband, fiance, boyfriend, in order to receive assistance.
However, that being said, a minority of Blacks are even on assistance. The media hypes and portrays Blacks as being nearly overwhelmingly impoverished. It is not the case.
Most Blacks are:
educated
middle-class
employed
Losing the social programs would not hurt millions of Black people. With the money that we would save in taxes, we could go back to helping the poor directly, like we did for 150 years in this country.
When discussing destroying or removing welfare, most arguments center on the notion that ONLY government can help the poor. The truth is that, even with welfare, most poor people are still helped by charities, not the government.
Charities are now hurting because Obama and his administration reduced the amount you could claim off of your taxes that you donate to charity.
Also, the Black middle-class do not start up businesses because of the tremendous road blocks in the way, and being cut off from capital via institutional racism.
Libertarians would remove most of the local and federal obstacles to starting business. Oponents love to talk about Libertarians not believing in governmental assistance, but they never bring up that government is a huge obstacle the hinders progress. This is the progress that Blacks desperately need, more than welfare.
If you've read my blog for any length of time, you know I love to promote the good numbers about Black demographics, uh ... Black folks. While I love to destroy the myths and lies made up socially about Black people, one thing I can agree on is that economically, Black people are in a hole.
Nationwide Black people are at a 35% unemployment rate. That means that some areas have 50% unemployment rate, and other areas have only 12% unemployment rate.
There have always been two sets of books when it comes to revealing numbers about Black / white wealth gap. Everyone talks about it in very general, unrevealing terms, but no one wants to discuss the real numbers like the fact that Black people run at a triple or quadruple unemployment rate to whites.
To make matters worse, Blacks make up only 15% of the population. That means there is no cushion for Blacks to fall back on if they go into the poverty hole. Whites, invariably will have someone somewhere that can support them for a time. In an area where Black poverty is at 50%, that means whole families will go in the hole, and more often than not die.
Yes, Black people in America die from starvation and medical want. The democrats love to pretend they care about Black people, but the truth is, they care only about white people, and always have.
You cannot
have a political party that says they care and have a 52% Black incarceration rate
have a political party that says they care and have a 35% Black unemployment rate
And, if you think I am taking giant leaps in logic equating politics with economics, you are the mental midget. Politics and state sanctioned programs have everything to do with economics.
Let's talk about rolling poverty. Rolling poverty is a generational poverty that is passed down from parent to children.
Historical Data
75% of all Black folk were enslaved in the U.S. at one point. After slavery was declared over, the Black people were freed. However, here is where all discussion stops. Although Blacks had singlehandedly enriched the entire nation, who's goods and services were traded on wallstreet for all to participate, after the emancipation of slaves, nothing was given to Black people.
Black people were not given anything to even start them off. In fact, once they were freed, all of their land, tools, and basic belonging were taken from them. They had no livestock, seeds, farming equipment, tools, with which to even subsist on their own.
This is what is kept out of the discussion.
Besides still being raped, mutilated, hung, terrorized, beaten and publicly humiliated on a daily basis, what little wealth they had, was stripped from them.
So, there they were, freed slaves, stripped of all belongings, and laws passed to make sure they were not educated nor helped in any manner.
These families are still expected, today, to somehow succeed economically and be on equal footing with white people. The same white people that enslaved them, freed them, and did not repay them nor give them basic needs to start life anew.
No one talks about what happened after slavery. This is the rolling poverty.
The generational poverty started then. We have families of those freed slaves trying to survive now. They had to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, oh sorry those were taken away as well.
This poverty persists till this day.
What few social programs to help "poor" people that exist today, seeks to destroy any semblance of normality a human can expect. Women are systematically expected to remove their husband, fiance, boyfriend from their lives, in order to receive assistance.
But, I told you that Black male unemployment is at 50%, right? Even if the two were together, they could not survive. So the woman is forced to leave her husband, to keep the family going.
This is what is passed down, generation to generation. And, now we have the utter destruction of the Black family. These assistance programs were not around 50 years ago. These were passed by ultra racist Democrats to destroy Black families. In exchange for receiving assistance, the Black female is expected to vote Democrat. Impoverished Black people switched from Republican to Democrats in record numbers 50 years ago, through a series of political maneuvers.
Black people played right into the Democrat's hands. This was the party that gave us the KKK. Talk about short term memory. What Black people did not realize was the U.S. was indicted in world court for human rights violations, concerning the mass lynching and mutilation of Black people. This is what shifted the attitude about Black people, not a pang of guilty conscious.
Minimum Wage Laws
With an unemployment rate so high, is it just a mistake or mass racism that makes Black people unhirable? Or, as I have pointed out so far, could it be a systemic, subtle law that is staring you in the face, but you just don't know it.
Let's go back to the welfare examples given. The Democrats had the KKK terrorizing Black people into voting Democrat. World court indicts them, and they turn around and start the "Great Society". The Great Society is their brainchild to give hand outs to impoverished Black people, to ensure Blacks vote Democrat. As I have shown in a previous article, the KKK did NOT leave the Democrat party. They were key in formulating the Great Society. The ultimate goal is to destroy the Black family.
Prior to the Great Society, Blacks enjoyed a 70% marriage rate, and an almost unheard of divorce rate. We are now down to a 52% marriage rate. So, right under the nose of everyone, is the Great Society destroying the Black family.
In everyone's mind, welfare and other social programs are a good thing. I can safely say that it is not a good thing. It is only promoted as a good thing. It is an insidious effort by the government to undermine the very fabric of Black life as we know it.
The 2nd leg of this attack is unemployment. How can you achieve high unemployment without causing an uproar. What if you devised a system that allowed employers to be as racist as they wanted, and point to a law that prevented them from hiring Black folks?
Thus was invented the minimum wage.
For those that say minimum wage laws were not targeting Blacks, the same is said about the war on drugs.
Here's how it works. White people protect white people. [same with asians, hispanics, etc] They pass a law that says, an employer must pay at a minimum a certain wage. As soon as the law was passed, Blacks were thrown out of employment and whites were kept in. Labor became a tool of racism.
Turn on any movie, TV show or open any magazine and you'll find all sorts of subtle stereotypes being presented about Black Men. Although 75% of current African Americans have a slave as an ancestor, Black men are called lazy. Although Black people were systematically raped, families torn apart, robbed, mutilated and killed, Black men are stigmatized as being unable to hold a family together. Although countless studies and court cases show that police violate the constitutional rights of Blacks, Black men are trotted out as being the majority of prisoners, as if the number alone suggests that he is more wrong than any other racial group. Finally we get to the last stereotype, that Black men cannot be fathers.
I have already shown you that Black men are fathers, take care of their children, and support and spend time with their children more than any other race. Now, I show you proof that the numbers cannot be true that Black men are dead beats they are said to be, coming from the other side, single Black men.
You cannot have a stereotype of the Black man being a dead beat if I've shown you a majority of them are fathers, heads of households. To make sure you understand it, I come from the other side: what percent of Black men have no children.
Now I present you with the other side, Black men without children.
I mailed the government census office to ask the question, directly. Here is the response:
Hi,
Although we do not have this estimate in published tables, our subject-matter expert ran a quick tab in Data Ferrett. It is for Black alone men age 15 and over, in answer to the question about how many biological children they have ever fathered. Of the 12.95 million Black alone men in 2009, 5.5 million, or 42 percent, have not fathered a child. Of course, this includes many young men who will eventually father a child. The data set does not show Black alone or in combination as a racial category.
Robert Bernstein
Public Information Office
U.S. Census Bureau
(301) 763-2603
That's right folks. 42% of Black men have not fathered children.
Let's do some math here.
52% of Black men father children and take care of them in marriage or as single fathers
42% of Black men have no children
that means 92% of Black men are either good fathers or have no children
that leaves only 8% of Black men as fitting this stereotype as deadbeat fathers
Anyone understands that 8% does not make a stereotype. It would be atypical of a Black man then to be estranged to his own children. So where is this stereotype coming from?
The answer is obvious. The Black man is being attacked. By attacking the Black man, the Black family will be destroyed.
All of those government sponsored social programs that the Democrats love to trot out: welfare; WIC; food stamps; medicaid. They all have one thing in common, "you must take the man out of the picture." You cannot get their assistance if you have a man in the picture. The woman is literally forced to break all relations with her husband, fiance, boyfriend if she is on those programs.
It is just another attack on the Black family.
A young Black woman that might have a child before marriage, by this system, destroys herself, the child's future and any hope of a family.
Now the Black man is under attack, at the same time.
I heard a sheriff say one time, "if I could, I would round up every negro and get them off the street."
We are under attack and no one wants to admit it.
Who is putting out stereotypes that Black men make horrible fathers, are deadbeats and unfit to be married? Black women did not originate this.
In fact, if you ever hear that, please ask the person where they got that from.
My numbers do not lie.
Black men make excellent husbands
Black men take care of their families
Black men care for their children
Single Black men do not go around having children
Single Black men concentrate on their careers, education and building wealth
You do know that there are more Black men in college, than there are in prison. You don't hear that often enough.
From the research and the conclusions, that said researchers have drawn, these are the factors and causation of plummeting Black wealth.
Historic Factors:
Blacks of all economic classes lumped in with high risk loans, i.e. the Black middle-class given grade B loans, as if they were derelicts or of menial credit rating [Well's fargo testimony in open court sheds light on this, when whistle-blowers testified that Wells Fargo management said, "target Black neighborhoods with high interest loans because Black people are financially unsophisticated".]
Blacks pay highest insurance premiums than whites
Blacks pay higher costs for nearly every good and service, from food to housing, than do whites
Causation and Decimation of Black Wealth
when the bubble crashed and ARM loans adjusted, it imploded 65% of all Black wealth
Blacks have nearly no assets. And, what little wealth they do have is nearly 100% tied to their primary residence [which is NOT an asset, but only a sophisticated investor or someone financially educated would even understand that]
Why Obama vs Bush
in spite of his own advisers telling him to specifically target legislation at Blacks, Obama took a mass appeal role, which ultimately would nearly 90% only affect white people, not Black people
all legislation that took place to placate or help homeowners stay in their homes, occured in the latter half of the default scale, which affected white people more than Black people
institutional racism reared its ugly head, even after Obama and friends commanded private banks to cease and desist foreclosure procedures and directed them to work with their lendees. Blacks were denied every opportunity to renegotiate their loans.
this occurred on Obama's watch, regardless of similar circumstances happening during the bush administration.
Please note that everyone that was predicting the crash said that the crash actually started 2001 - 2002, not 2008.
Nouriel Roubini or Nassim Taleb, as well as Peter Schiff & George Soros, correctly predicted the housing bubble collapse, which then exposed a much deeper bubble (a super-bubble in Soros’ terms) that was the entire solvency/credit trap that has taken over and the failure of 30 years of economic policy. Black swans in Taleb’s language can not be predicted. Both he and Roubini correctly predicted that said market was built on sand and would eventually collapse, but neither one of them got right precisely when it would happen (they both thought in 2003).
That squarely puts the entire Bush administration as having been handed this crash and dealing with it for two terms, not the revisionist history notion that everything was peachy during the Bush administration and he handed Obama a sack of pissed off badgers.
This latter part is what people constantly get tripped on. They all believe that Bush dealth with nothing financial for 8 years, until the very end.
Need I remind you that it was Clinton's policies, demanding everyone be a homeowner, that led to the bubble during the Bush administration?
And, speaking of Clinton, everyone believes the propaganda that Clinton handed Bush a surplus. Just as fake as today's jobless / unemployment numbers [which I hope you're aware of] Clinton's surplus was a complete fabrication, made-up by upping the intra-governmental holdings while paying down the public debt.
He handed Bush, every bit of a deficit as Bush did Obama and Bush sr did to Clinton before him.
Bush also dealt with a housing crash as the beginning of his administration. People forget these things. He dealt with the dot com bust, also.
Obama has been abysmal for Black wealth and makes absolutely no apologies for it.
As to the dearth of Black Americans in high-groth entrepreneurship, [or from my perspective any entrepreneurship] having any connection to job growth is only indicative of a lost potential of wealth that COULD be generated. That is a completely different discussion, than the one at hand.
Yes, Black enterprise is completely lacking and a direct correlation can be drawn between its lack and negative impact it has on Black wealth and Black "jobs". At 1 in 36, versus 1 in 236 entrepreneurship of whites vs Blacks, no one can deny that Blacks are completely missing the economic boat [hell, we're out to lunch completely].
However, this post is dealing with what wealth we have or had, presently.
Blacks lost 65% of their wealth during the Obama administration. The single largest drop in the history of the entire United States, including during the slave era. The 10%-20% of Blacks that were free during the slave era had more money, than all of the free Blacks right at this second.
Traitorous, Double-Crossing, Quisling Black People
Is it alright if you innocently do not study history and yet convince your fellow African-American that Democrat is the way to go? Is it alright if you do absolutely no research and trust the news to tell you that Democrat is the party for Black Americans? Is it alright that you listen to urban myth that Democrats want to help Black people and somehow usher in a new golden age for Black people.
A lot of Black people have no interest in researching, thinking or studying politics and what the best approach is. They go to their church and rely on their preacher to tell them how to vote. Nonsense. Meanwhile the preacher is being paid thousands of dollars to tell them to vote for such and so, selling the entire congregation down the river.
Truth be told, most Black people concentrate more on sports, music and who's doing who, than concentrating on whether or not a supposed Black man is selling them down the river in the white house. Truth be told, most Black people could tell you the draft picks, starting line up and last season results of their favorite sport, but could not tell you any legislation that was passed in the last 8 years.
I made a vow to myself when i was 7. I vowed that the world did not need another Black ahtlete, singer, dancer. It needed intelligent superior Black people. I was to be one of those people. I do not open my mouth, nor put words down on paper nor machine, without first checking, cross referencing and getting historical backdrop.
If I say the Democratic party is not good for Black people, I need people to trust that upon my reputation that it is the correct thing to say. I need people to be a little bit more intellectual than they are used to. I need them to draw upon 200 years of experience and historical facts to keep up with what I am saying. For fifty years the Black population shifted from the Republican party to the Democrat party. For those fifty years, Black buying power has gone from $1.1 trillion in 1950 adjusted for inflation, to $1.1 trillion in 2012? That's right folks, Blacks have made no gains.
How is it that Blacks command a staggering $1.1 trillion yearly in buying power and yet are 10 times poorer than whites?
The 2001 Consumer Expenditure Survey showed that, despite their lower income, African Americans spent more on telephone services, utilities, shoes and children’s apparel than whites. As a proportion of their total household income, blacks spend more on groceries, housing, utilities, female clothing and personal care.
The average married black household’s income is around $48,000 – less for a single parent household. Moreover, in terms of income, the gap between whites and blacks has nearly quadrupled in the last 30 years, mainly because blacks typically earn 68 cents for every dollar whites earn. Add to this the above average unemployment rate among African- Americans and the fact that the housing bust wiped out whatever equity black folks had been able to accumulate.
According to one study, blacks in lower-income neighborhoods are more reliant on smaller grocery stores which carry more expensive goods. The same could be said for housing, transportation and car insurance. This should let us know that there are plenty of other barriers in place, including racism and classism, which seem to prohibit blacks from capitalizing economically on so-called disposable income. Likewise, the growth of black businesses has yet to be allowed equal access to markets where black folks tend to shop for phone service, electricity; natural gas and groceries. So it is inevitable that the “black dollar” will always find a route out of the community.
The majority of Black people are married, educated, middle to upper middle-class and are employed.
We are not welfare, food stamp people. Yet the Democrats try and portray that they are being kind and generous and offering "us" welfare and food stamps. It's a brain washing game. The U.S. is headed towards a communist agenda. Do you honestly think white people would embrace having Black people on an equal economic footing, in a communist system? No, they would not.
And, Obama is not in control of anything. Hoping that because someone has a Black face, makes them pro-Black is juvenile, at best. It's idiotic when the man shows you time and time again that he is not pro-anything other than wallstreet.
Blacks have lost 65% of their wealth under Obama. Anyone trying to defend him, is not someone I would call a friend. Because, defending that is traitorous to the Black American community.
Turn on the TV and Black men seem to be in jail, arrested, doing drugs or a womanizing rapper with all of the above going on. The problem is that people do not understand what they are watching. TV executives only put on TV what they think will get attention.
Stupid white people, with missing teeth, will get your attention. Asian kids that dance like Black cheerleaders will get your attention. Middle-aged Jewish businessmen that rap better than Eminem will get your attention. But, this is the problem no one thinks all Jewish people are rappers. No one thinks all asians are dancers. No one thinks all white people are stupid with teeth missing. But, people think ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE VIOLENT CRIMINALS. People think all Black men are dogs. People think all Black men leave their newborn children in the wind.
It has gotten so bad, that, Black people think Black people are violent criminals, dead beat dads and womanizers.
It has grown hard to separate fact from fiction.
The internet makes matters worse. Because everyone can sit at their computer, download a program and start typing, the myth about how bad Black men are, can now grow exponentially. Sisters are now getting in on the game.
If a Black woman starts a blog talking about how great her marriage is, her blog will fail, and no one will read it. If a Black woman starts a blog talking about how her man dogged her, left her pregnant, won't return her calls and won't marry her, she will be the belle of the ball. None of these sisters mention that they slept around, did drugs while pregnant and ran her Black man away, and uses the court system to keep the child away from him, just to get back at him.
You will see stories about Black men being afraid of commitment, i.e. not wanting to get married, or worse, the dreaded interracial marriage.
You can open up any search engine and find pages and pages of entries talking about how Black men are marrying white women. The truth is only 8% of Black men marry white women. That's a far cry from what sisters try to portray. That means less than 1 in 10 Black men marry white women.
Now let's look at some real numbers.
An overwhelming majority of Black men are married: 52%. This means most of the blogs talking about Black men being afraid of commitment is just that one sister's experience. Maybe, just maybe, she needs to stop going to lower class businesses.
Most men do not speak out, about anything. But, now that videos and blogs have become so popular, brothers have taken to the internet. Nearly all videos and blogs I read, presented by men say one thing: sisters need to stop acting like hood rats, get rid of the fake hair weaves and stop being hypersexual.
Now that is shocking. You would think Black men would want easy pickings right? But, nope. In my readings I come across it time and time again. Black men do not want and easy woman. It reflects badly on the sister and badly on him.
The myth that Black men do not take care of their children is also out there. The truth is that there are quite a few Black men who are single fathers. You never hear about it. There are, as said above, and overwhelming majority of Black men that are married. You never hear about that either. A recent study showed that Black men spend more time with their estranged children and give them money, more than any other race. You never hear this at all.
The reality is that the Black man is painted to be this boogie man. It's white slavery tactics all over again. Degrade the Black man so far, to the point that no one trusts him to even be human. Get the Black woman so confused that she attacks the Black man.
There are plenty of stories of Black women sabotaging their own relationships.
Listen!
If you are a Black woman and you are having bad luck with your Black brothers, take a long hard look in the mirror. Ask yourself, "am I sabotaging my relationships?" Ask yourself, "am I the victim of brainwashing?"
As a Black woman, you are the prime target to convince to mistrust your Black man. This is a game and it is for keeps.
You might also be wondering about the Black men that aren't married. It's simple. 3% of Black men are enthralled with the homosexual fetish. About 25% are single, never been married, never had kids. About 5% are in jail, or on probation. That leaves about 10% that are free, single with children they are not in the home with. As to their real story, there has never been any research done on them. Oh, there are generalities, but no one has, nor probably ever will do any research on them. Why? Because they are afraid they might find that those Black men may start off estranged from their kids but end up marrying the woman or support the kids under the table or something else that would shatter their boogie man image of the Black man.
Conclusion
Most Black men are
married
educated
middle-class
support their families
religious
keep it in their pants [ only 1.2 population growth of all Black people. that means that Black people are barely maintaining their population. ]
Sorry to tell you this. But, Black men are just as normal and boring as white men. We have our problems, but nowhere near what the main stream media puts out.
Black men are NOT rappers, walking around with their pants down by their ankles, showing off their butt, with not money, broke, jobless and womanizers.
I know a lot of you got mind wiped, and brainwashed. Stop it.
We know that "45% of Black women have never been married," the top position for females for all races. [U.S. Census 2010, other races come in at 30%] But, could this shocking stat not mean what you think it means?
Percentages can really mislead you. NUMBERS are the real masters. Let me show you an example of what I mean. Here's something funny that white controlled media likes to throw out:
"Black women make up a much higher percentage per capita of receiving welfare"
That sounds like a really horrible thing doesn't it? No the problem is, the way in which they are limiting the statistic. They are saying that of the Black population, Black women take up a larger percentage of the people that receive welfare than other racial groups. But, this doesn't mean anything.
Let's break it down. Let's represent this in small numbers for ease.
Whites: population of 17000
Blacks: population 1300
Latino: population 900
Now that quote above is saying that 200 black women on welfare means they are 15% of the Black population on welfare. White women on welfare only make up 11% of their population. BUT WAIT!!! In our example 11% of the white population means that 2,000 white women are on welfare. This means, there are more white women on welfare than there are Blacks in the U.S.
And, that's how stats can be twisted to completely mislead you.
So there are 45% of Black women that have never been married. That means that 55% have.
I don't think those numbers are correct though. My research shows it's actually 42% unwed to 58% wed. I know it is only a few percentage points but it makes a difference in my eyes.
Let's look at the Black men stats:
30% of Black men have never been married; 70% of Black men have been married.
The biggest difference it seems from the data I have looked over is that Black women do not marry outside of their race, as much as Black men do.
HOWEVER.... the numbers are so small that it doesn't make much of a difference.
Married To
White Spouse

Black Woman

9,000
18,000
It is also believed that a large percentage of Black men marry White women. This is cited as the cause of low marriage rates among Black women. This however is only partially true. While Black men marry white women at twice the rate of Black women only 8.5% of married Black men had White spouses in 2010 up from 6.6% in 2005. 10.8 percent of African American men married outside their race in 2010 also up from 8.4% in 2005. It is Asian women who have the highest rates of intermarriage which is twice that of Black men. Black women were the least likely to marry outside their race at only 4.6% in 2010 up from 3.6%, and only 3.9/% married to White men up from 2.8 in 2005.
Conclusion
Without numbers to back you up, you have no way of knowing how bad or good the Black community is really doing.
We are a long way off from 70% marriage rate in the 50s, but it is not impossible. The beauty of this internet is that I can give you cold hard facts. So when people say Black men are dating outside of their race or that Black women are horribly unwed, you can point to this article and say "that's not true and here's why".
Unmarried Black women only represents about 8 million Black women. Spread out across the U.S. that's a drop in the bucket.
I have already given you my philosophy in another article:
There cannot be god without goddess. There cannot be king without queen. There cannot be man without woman.
This is the traditional African belief. We need to return to it. Set your mind that you not only should get married, but that you will get married. Once you convince yourself, the rest is easy.
Yes I have said that you should not have gender before marriage, rather harshly. I apologize for the harshness, but I stand behind the statement. Going around and having gender is not ok, it's not cool, it's not the "adult thing to do", it's not the "modern relationship."
Surprisingly enough there are Black men web sites. Not a few said they are professional, with money and do not WANT gender before marriage. The news does not want you to know that we exist. The media doesn't want you to know that there is an alternative to being openly gender .
If you, as a woman, would approach men and openly say that you are not looking for a gender partner, but for a husband, and that doesn't include having gender before marriage, eventually you will find Black men like me.
I keep hearing this stat thrown around 72% of black kids have no father. I thought it was awfully high, so I did some research. SURPRISE! It's a flat out lie. *sigh* To reach the stat, they have to count ALL divorced parents as not there, all widowed mothers and count Black men as women.
Ok you ready for this? 56% of Black men are heads of their household and fathers. This means they are married or divorced with custody of their children. The 72% stat counts the divorced Black men as if they were divorced Black women and say those children do not have a father.
Obviously, divorced parents have some sort of custody and visitation, and at one point they were even married. So saying these children are fatherless is a complete lie.
Obviously, widowed mothers had husbands and the children had a father. So, including these as fatherless is a lie.
Why do I say it's a lie? Because when people say 72% of Black children are FATHERLESS, they mean the children do not have a father at all and NEVER HAD ONE. They are trying to paint a picture to say that Black men do not and have not taken care of their kids. Yes, it's meant to degrade Black men.
Obviously a divorced father was and probably is in the child's life, so that doesn't fit the "never had one" stat.
Obviously a father that died was in the child's life, so that doesn't fit the "never had one" stat.
To blow your mind even further, 58% of Black women are or have been married [including widowed and divorced]. So you cannot have both a 72% fatherless and yet have a 58% married status.
To muddle the waters even more... TO REALLY SHOW YOU THE LIE... here are some stats that should be self explanatory. I apologize though, they are not broken down by gender. But, obviously you cannot have both fatherless Black children and these stats.

As of July 1, 2009, the estimated population of black residents in the United States, including those of more than one race. They made up 13.6 percent of the total U.S. population. This figure represents an increase of more than a half-million residents from one year earlier.

Conclusion
There is an all out attack on the Black family. There is no way that we came from a 70% marriage rate in 1960 to 22% 50 years later. I know a lot has happened, but not that much.
Everyone tries to point to the prison population. And, I hate to sound mean but, I looked into that as well. Only 800,000 Black men are in prison. Out of 41.8 million Black people, 800k is not that much. It does not amount to a 50% reduction in marriage rates.
The next time you hear someone say 72% of Black children are born fatherless. Go out of your way to correct them, and point them to this article.
Black Genocide in America: Attacking the Black Father
Open any newspaper, log onto your favorite Black woman rant blog, or watch any movie that talks about Black men and you'll always hear: Black men leave their children in the dust and don't take care of them. I am here to tell you it's all a BIG FAT LIE. It is a systemic attack on the Black man.
So many people see statements like this, and think they are true and start to repeat the lie over and over. Before you start repeating all of these lies, stop and think for a second: who is saying this; what is their qualification for saying this; how do they know this? Most of TV is material they need to put on there to take up time, so they can make money from the commercials in between. That material is called content. This "content" doesn't mean they have to back up their claims. They can simply say anything they want, so long as the commercials keep rolling.
You have done no research at all. In fact, you're just propagating the attacks on the Black family and the all out genocide of Black men.
Let me give you some real facts: 58% of Black women are or have been married [this includes divorced and widowed]; 65% of Black men are or have been married [this includes divorced and widowed]. Now only 4.8% of Black men are in jail, period [US Bureau of Justice statistics] So they are not impacting the total Black mail population. So only 35% of Black men have never been married.
A very glaring database is left out: Black men without children. Let me venture a guess on this.
Different researchers have said that between 3%-9% of the population is homosexual. In my estimation a large percentage of that is female. [sadly] Of that percent I would guess 3% represent men. [with no children]
1,909,000 Black men hold a 4 year college degree or better: 1,341,000 4 year degree; 409,000 masters degree; 88,000 professional degree [doctor / lawyer etc] I am willing to bet that a high percentage of these men have no children, especially the 500,000 that have higher than 4 yr degrees. The Black population is now at 41.8 million [2010 census] half of which are men, so about 21 million [data suggests that slightly more men than women are born] so a cool 10% probably have no children.
That brings the grand total to 13% of Black men with no children. So of the Black men left that leaves 35% - 13% = 22% of Black men who have children and are unmarried.
Finally, the last nail in the coffin for these silly rants people have been making against Black men, is that Pew Research showed that Black men spend more quality time with their children than any other racial group. These are the unmarried fathers.
These attacks on Black men are coming from both the outside and within the Black race. They are unwarranted, often misguided and always not backed up with any data. People see someone say something negative on tv about Black men or Black children and assume it's true.
No, we are not at 1950 levels of 70% marriage rate among Blacks, but we are nowhere near the 72% of Black children born without fathers lies that are constantly being spread.
Talk to any Obama kool-aid drinking bobble head and you get this: "There would be a lot more jobs for a lot of people of all colors if the Congress- the Tea Party Obstructionist Congress- would allow the Obama job programs to be implemented. "Gaining ground under Bush"? Kidding, right? What statistics a
re you using? The only new jobs during Bush were at McDonalds."
The very things you're saying, condemn your own points. Let's go over them shall we?
Obama elected 2008
democrat house / democrat senate: nothing was passed
republican house gained majority 2010
all negotiations with republicans were hampered by obama, who was going further than any republican in stripping medicare and other darling democrat programs
economy and DOW took a steep plunge as soon as Obama took office
Obama's job bill was to hire census workers
McDonalds was the only major employer hiring during OBAMA's administration not Bush
all census workers fired, plunging unemployment numbers to record highs
Obama takes office and TRIPLES THE IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN TROOP DEPLOYMENT
after mid-term elections were over and Obama had not removed the troops like he promised and everyone wanted, culminating in a republican house, Obama finally caved in and promised one more year until troops were to be returned home, and, that was only after democrats came to him telling him that they would not win the house, nor the presidency if the troops were not removed by next election
I'm an investor, you see. I run several blogs, one namely being about investing. Investors do not listen to rhetoric, we pay attention to numbers, facts, legislation.
Black wealth has been DECIMATED under Obama. And, I don't think it's so funny people laughing about it, or cavalierly saying Bush was worse for Black people. There is NO comparison.
PEW RESEARCH: Black Wealth Gap Widens
- 2005 net worth $12,124 [ net worth is calculated by taking all your assets, paying off all debts, and the remainder is the net worth]
- 2009 net worth $5,677
The gap has widened by a factor of 10 between Blacks and whites, under Obama.
In fact, Blacks were super wealthy after slavery, compared to today. [pretty shocking]
But wait, even if you're not Black, or don't care, or the stat doesn't move you, MAYBE THIS WILL
Fraction of growth captured by top 1%
Bush: 2002-2007 65%
Obama: 2009-2010 93%
Yes under Bush the top 1% got 65 cents out of every dollar. But, under Obama they got 93 cents out of every dollar.
I used to have an online tv show. A few of my viewers were Black. They still stay in contact with me. I was asking them the other day if they had plans for their life and career and future. Most of them gave me answers that their end goal were very low paying jobs. The very idea that your end goal is a low paying job, to me, IS BLASPHEMY. Why go to school and pay money to get a job paying $40,000 when you could come out making $150,000, same school, same teachers.
It dawned on me, that Black people do not know how to game the system. Black people listen to the nonsense they hear each Sunday and think that applies to their life. Or worse, they think everyone else applies it in their life. That's why Black wealth fell from a horrible $12,000 per household, to a staggering $5,000 per household. I cannot even believe that number.
I have provided a list of goals you should achieve to game the system. Mind you, I personally do not want the entire Black population going this route, because ultimately, the more Black people game the system, THE SYSTEM WILL CHANGE. Meaning, ultimately we have to form our own community and deal with each other. In the meantime, if 10% of you follow this route and are successful, it will help all of us.
you should start your freshman year of high school.
every single grade you get in high school should be an A. you get those As however you can. trust me, there are people that pay people to get them As. [don't be an idiot, this is your life we're talking about. there is no honesty in life. only fools play that game.]
research ivy league schools. they are the be all end all of going from a mediocre life, to a WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL.
depending on the ivy league school research, do extra-curricular activities that the school likes. it's a formula. they look at the application and approve it before even talking to you, don't let them fool you.
try and be captain, president, you name it, of all the clubs you join. you're looking to be a leader not a follower.
buy and research books about scholarships. you can very easily make $50k a year in scholarships. research these in your freshman year in highschool.
Senior year, apply for scholarships like it's your damn job. Get enough scholarships to pay for school, and a car, and a house note, and spending money.
once you get into college, take the lightest load you can, to get straight As.
go to college year round, remember you got enough money in scholarships to do it. your light load will make it so it takes you longer to graduate, so that's wh you go year round to reduce the time.
when time approaches for you to graduate, you must graduate top of your class. if there is someone ahead of you and they will graduate the same semester as you, either graduate early or later than them. being top of the class will put you into an entirely different atmosphere for the rest of your life.
before you graduate, try and get into some aspect of business. The money involved in business is nearly limitless.
you want to set yourself up, so that you're sitting in the board room, not the mail room.
research at least 500 companies, AT LEAST, before even applying to one. If you find out that a company is racist or has only a few or no black executives, put that company in your trash file. you're not out to save the world, just to set your life up for success. for this research, YOU set up interviews of black executives in that company. setup real serious questions. be very very specific about what you want to know about the company. ask questions about negotiating salaries and benefits.
hire a company to make your resume. make sure they concentrate on or have precise experience in your field and question 20 different resume writing companies with the same ability. make them each give you a sample of their work. Meanwhile, when you're interviewing these 500 company black executives, have them look over those samples to see which one they would choose. most like you, you can set out the samples on the table in front of them and they will pick out the ones that catch their eye in a second.
after you've done your research and had your resume done, apply to the top 100 companies. when you apply include a resume, and business card. call each company after you're sure they've received it. after that call, send a card in expressing your wish to be hired.
