Barack Obama Leaves Trinity over Father Michael Pfleger: Sad
Uploaded by: boycewatkins
Video Description:
Barack Obama left Trinity United Church of Christ after the controversy with Father Michael Pfleger. Dr. Boyce Watkins explains why denouncing the entire black community is not a good move for Obama.
Last fall, Watkins referred to Juan Williams, Bill O'Reilly's black sidekick as "the eternal happy negro". This led to Bill O'Reilly and Juan Williams spending weeks expressing anger toward Watkins. Dr. Watkins is a regular guest on CNN, FOX News, BET, CBS, ESPN, and other national media. H
e was the source of some controversy with Bill O'Reilly from the O'Reilly Factor, and has been a guest on other Fox Shows such as Hannity & Colmes. He has also publicly disputed Bill Cosby for stating that african-american youth and the hip hop generation are not very productive. Watkins wrote "What if George Bush were a Black Man?" and "Everything you ever wanted to know about college", which he argues is an appeal to the MTV generation to look past 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, TI, Kanye West and others to explore their educational potential. Dr. Boyce is a Finance Professor at Syracuse University and a graduate of The Ohio State University. He recently spoke at The University of Kentucky and demanded that they increase their numbers of black students and faculty. He was also one of the instrumental black leaders behind the scenes during the cases with the Jena 6, Don Imus and Michael Vick. He worked closely with Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson, appearing on the air with them to suggest strategies to get Imus off the air. It was Dr. Watkins' idea to challenge his corporate sponsors that led to Imus' dismissal. He was also outspoken on Barry Bonds' situation and the OJ Simpson trial. Watkins argues that Barry Bonds might be a jerk, but his alleged indiscretion is no worse than the evidence against Lance Armstrong for the use of performance enhancing drugs. He made his comments on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, The Wendy Williams Experience, CNN, FOX, BET, CBS and other networks.

And again,How?Through education programs; community centers for kids,community programs to cleanup/beautify the neighborhoods where a majority of people are black & their neighborhoods need curbs, street improvement, trees planted, build neighborhood parks for kids to get outside & play?Those are some things I can come up with.How about you?
However everyone (except the slave) benefited from slave labor...did you not know the slave trade started in european countries? 100"s of years of free labor made it possible for these country to exist. The plunder of the ancient societies by euros made it possible for your countries to exist. Do
n't make the mistake of thinking this STARTED with the transatlantic slave trade...
It's hard not to take things personally when your'group'is being held resposible for all the evils.I am white, hence I am guilty, right?I want this country to be a better place & it defeating to hear how horrible all whites are.
There is solidarity between all working class people (at least in my circle). Whites I know and hang around with understand racism and how it is an inextricable part of america. They understand that this is more about class then it is racism.
You know, I enjoy being with the different people in this country and that includes black Americans too.Everybody has different characteristic pertaining to their heritage that I enjoy...music, food, humor, history... AND it hurts my feelings to be grouped as a 'cracker' or 'whitey'. I'm just me.T
here's more beneath the surface than my skin color.
Thought for the day: Smile are contagious & comforting.
Oh wow! Now your starting to get the picture. Imagine living in a system where there is a LEGACY of being deemed inferior and being blamed for every thing that is wrong with human kind!?!
The tiny white minority does, that's who. No one is free as long as we allow them to control the basic necessities of life.
Have a good Saturday. Ciao baby!
