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.

nadoop - And my ... ( 5 months ago by min54teresa)
nadoop - And my family immigrated from Italy WAY AFTER the USA was involved in slavery. No one in my family was here until 1903.When you group all whitish skin colored Americans together,some of us just throw up our hands.Even though none of my ancestors were here during slavery .... we get lumped together and labeled as 'shit'.That's prejudice & that's hurtful & I want reparation from the black people in America who continue to persecute me!

3chisox-Not to discount Dr. Watkins, but do you think that there's the tiniest possibility that we as a nation could quit tearing each other down & put our hearts & heads together & stop this racism saga? When if ever, do you see a time in history when we can quit kicking a dead horse? It takes the best in each of us to bring out the best in all of us. So, ...when do we get started?!

muhcarl-No, my MF ancestors were still in Austria and Italy...and the only "power" my grandparents had was mule power...Old Pete who pulled a plow until my grandfather could buy a tractor.I guess you could conside Old Pete as enslaved. OK, you got my family on the "enslave" thing.Now, can we be friends?

You pose an interesting question. I think real action must be taken by this nation to correct wrongs that have been done to African American's in the past and in the present which continue to leave the African American community in the situation that it is in today.

3chisox- OK & does a (black)child born this year become eligible for government reparations?How do you choose who is eligible?How far back?
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?
3chisox-I believe I ... ( 5 months ago by min54teresa)
3chisox-I believe I have some understanding about how black men still suffer from slavery.My Mom teaches a Court ordered class for men who were convicted for domestic violence & she studies about how & why people do what they do.I'm VERY proud of her.So we discuss these guys & why they have no other relationship skills but violence.Many reason,but More often than not,it starts when they were children.I urge everyone to support pre-school so we can teach kids & not imprison adults.
3chisox-When I grew ... ( 5 months ago by min54teresa)
3chisox-When I grew up in a small farming town.All my classmates were white Mexican, Oriental, & black.I'm so glad I had that opportunity.So much happens during childhood that affects how people turn out.I definitely think that underpriviledge or kids raised in violence or drug abuse need to have preschool.So, the first thing I would do would to create programs for the children...all children. That's my 2 cents.

Don't take things personal that don't apply to 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...

RosoePatternson-Everytime I read this comment from you I get pissed!"the majority of whites are full of shit".So,you've got the numbers to condemn this "majority"?How dare you lump people together?You know,if whites quit getting raked over the coals of history & intimidated,it would go a long way towards improving race relations.I feel like just under the surface,any black person could unload on whites & ream us a new asshole.Anger & intimidation is no way to find solutions & work together.

muhcarl1-I am not ignorant to the facts that people were enslaved throughout history.I have made it a point to know these things about socities.I know there's always more to learn,but don't make the mistake of thinking you're addressing an ignorant uneducated person.
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.
I was taking about ... ( 5 months ago by muhcarl)
I was taking about ruling class whites. It is well known (at least in my circles) that there is a clique of whites who control about 80% of the worlds resources and wealth. It is they who are the biggest benefactors of chattel and wage slavery.
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.

OK, let me address the black Americans as a whiteish woman. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO SATISFY YOU!!IF BLACKS CAN PROPOSE WAYS TO IMPROVE THIS COUNTRY,RACE RELATIONS,YOUR FUTURE,PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO WORK TOWARDS.YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT.SAY WHAT YOU WANT!OR DO YOU JUST WANT TO BEAT US DOWN & ATTACK EVERYONE TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.I THINK THIS GIVES SOME BLACKS SATISFACTION.BUT IT DOES NOTHING TO PROMOTE PROGRESS! WHAT DO YOU WANT? SPELL IT OUT!!! I'M EXASPERATED!

MUHCARL-I see.Well that's comforting because I've yet to make my first million.
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.

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!?!

Different heritages yeah but who controls the countries natural resources? Who controls the legislature? Who controls food production and distribution? Who controls the educational system and the mass media?
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.

muhcarl-OK, tiny ... ( 5 months ago by min54teresa)
muhcarl-OK, tiny white wealthy minority.How can someone make a difference? Muhman,I know there's a bunch of crooks in politicians;I know that in every society,there are the upperclass/wealthy.But,in the USA,the opportunity to acquire wealth is just around the corner of brillian ideas.I don't care who owns a company whose products I buy.Supply & demand;That's a good place to start.The next widget could be your ticket to success.Don't let those minority wealthy people stand in your way.Up theirs!
muh-One more ... ( 5 months ago by min54teresa)
muh-One more thought;I say put your energies in striving for success instead of being angry.Pretend that anyone can have whatever they set their mind to,& go for it.I know that people have got to believe in themselves to set a goal & get there & they need support.I know lots of people feel helpless & hopeless.The first step to get where yuo wanna be, IS the first step.I need to mention,love for each other too.Drop the anger,extend forgiveness,& go for it!I hope that you would like me if we met.

I think you've misunderstand the meaning of my posts. You are under the assumption that I want to sell my soul to build material wealth. Let me be blunt; my goal is to end white supremacy and liberate the entire working class from its wage slavery. This is NOT about wealth building. This is about ending imperialism and building solidarity with workers all over the world in order to affect the demise of the ruling class.
