Who's the most political black guy you know?

[BendOverDemocrats]

We are up to out neck with white guys, but which black person is the most political for you?

[Suburbanite]

Where is the U.S, Where is the Media? It isn't Black people who are ignoring the issue. You're method of attacks are weird. If I read this article by myself I wouldn't see it as a failure of the duty of the Black Community in America. I have to wonder what prejudices you have to jump to that conclusion.

[Suburbanite]

What is the UN doing? Perhaps you should spend 5min and do a search:
Todays UN Briefing!

[Suburbanite]

What are Black Leaders doing? Hmm.... lets take a look!
Until mid-October, I was convinced that only mass demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience here, the kind that hastened the end of apartheid in South Africa, could move the White House and Congress to do something—not in rhetoric but in law, with sanctions—to end the ceaseless state terrorism in Sudan. However, an extraordinary historic coalition of abolitionists has in recent years put such unremitting pressure on Bush and Congress that at last, on October 9, a unanimous Senate passed the Sudan Peace Act. It had already been approved in the House on October 7 by a vote of 359 to 8.

Among those in the coalition are black churches around the country, white evangelicals, the Boston-based American Anti-Slavery Group, the Congressional Black Caucus, Chuck Colson's Prison Fellowship, the Institute on Religion and Democracy, civil rights leaders such as Joe Madison and Walter Fauntroy, conservatives led by Michael Horowitz of the Hudson Institute and Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas, Jewish organizations, and others. Missing all these years were nearly all of the Democratic leadership in Congress, most editorial writers and columnists, and, with few exceptions, American broadcast and cable television. Next week: the details of the Sudan Peace Act, including sanctions for noncompliance with the law. Also, why this is an important beginning of the end for these atrocities; but also why continuous pressure on the White House and Congress—and Khartoum—will be essential. Keep in mind, however, that with the United States having found Khartoum guilty of actual genocide, a heavy obligation now falls on the White House and Congress to follow through.

"Publicity" from the UN that hasn't made mention of this? Give me a break here. What Actions do you want? The UN is extremely small, and you don't even support it.
Yea, it is tragic nothing is happening, but your anger is highly misguided. The UN has a pathetic military, working within those bounds all they can do is present the problem to other countries, which they have, and the United States is one which will not being helping. As for the "Black Leaders" I think you were gravly mistaken here.
It seems to me that both the UN and the Black Leaders have done something. Who are the people who haven't done anything? The Bush Administration, The French, The Germans, The Candos, no one else BUT the people you meantioned have done anything.

[castille]

The UN can do absolutely nothing.

[Suburbanite]

You're right, they can't. They are not only cripple but the bush Administration has castrated them as well. They are not, and have not been, capable of any kind of large scale action. They are not useless though. They feed MILLIONS of starving children amongst thousands of other things. Peace Corps didn’t keep the peace in Sudan either, but they aren’t being blamed.

[Suburbanite]

Am I to assume that this thread as been resolved?

[Suburbanite]

Right. They did a horrible job with Iraq, and with many other countries. They have also saved millions upon millions of lives around the world from famine, hunger, and disease.
The issue here was NOT Iraq though. Nor was it the power of the United Nations. You claimed, without proof, that Black Leaders and the United Nations did nothing regarding this situation. However, as this thread magnificently progressed I revealed that Black Leaders and the United Nations are just about the only group of people to do anything.
You have yet to apologize for your bigoted comments against Black Leaders or your incorrect bias against the United Nations.

[Suburbanite]

Again, where is the apology? Not even to Black Leaders. Can you not bring yourself to say sorry Mr. Black Men?

[Suburbanite]

Oh, so it is just Jesse And Sharpton, people who are hardly respected in Black communities, not "Black Leaders" like you originally posted?
Quit changing the subject, you owe an apology for being incorrect.

[commonsense]

Right-0n Alec!!

I am presently drowning in the sea of excrement and ignorance that is the American University System.
This place is seething with phony self-serving American blacks wearing African garb preaching socialism and African cultural superiority while they shake-down politicians to spend federal educational grants for phony Africana studies, trips, museums, etc.
You have no idea the reverse racism (I sat through a required MLK commmemoration ceremony at which keynote speaker ABC TV's Gil Noble (hah!) professed to cheering crowds that "white people smell bad, are sickly pale, and have dog-like noses")!
While the questionable education of our cadre of black professors makes them think their haughty elitism is justified as they indoctrinate students of all races who academically are not college-worthy, but seemingly are kept long enough to hammer home the message that forced "egality" is superior to freedom of opportunity, that "fairness" is superior to justice, and that "communality" is superior to "property" !!!!
All the while "student groups" also receive budgets in the tens of thousands $ per year, funded by exhorbitant "student fees" and the U.S. taxpayer, masquerading as "cultural awareness" projects that actually promote the socialist "African Union" that is standing by while genocide of blacks is taking place.
In the tradition of the black American Socialist W.E.B. DuBois, for which no opportunity to idolize him escapes these people, I guess they don't care what the moral and human cost will be to Africa, as long as they see themselves one day presiding over it.
They probably know who their real masters are, only "riding the wave" while they can for a little false prestige.
You should see their contrived, invented "African" ceremonies they do at every event. Shameless and humiliating. All races of young people here buy into them with strained emotion. They are lost. They have no compass

[Suburbanite]

White men love to make themselves the victim. Get over yourself. Oh, and try and stay on topic hot shot.

[commonsense]

I really do not understand the above comment. Identifying and reporting upon sad conditions for the education of the readers of site does not make me a "hotshot"
The victims of the above phenomena are all free people, and of course, the souls of those who would collude with destructive forces whose aim it is to enslave.
When many of my professors can barely read themselves, and money floods into institutions whose purpose is obviously not academic education, an honest, thinking person must realize that formidable powers seek to indoctrinate the youth of America for their own purposes.

[Suburbanite]

And again, that has absolutely nothing to do with the UN's and Black Leader's reaction to Sudan.
