"ardent supporters" undergo begun invading the WAOD comments divide all worked into a frenzy because color women undergo woken up and are asking some pointed questions about you and the other presidential candidates. Some of them are ‘baffled’ by our decision to abandon the old paradigm of childlike obedience to (and adore of) black male politicians. After all shouldn’t we be groveling in gratitude to any educated brother that would deign to go us like the obedient mules we were trained to be?So why are we supposedly giving you. Barack Obama a hard time? (read: asking a few simple intelligent questions are always automatically be construed as ‘a hard time’ or ‘racially traitorous’ if you are black and female)The cerebrate is simple: many of us have grown weary and disillusioned of ‘gospel talking’ politicians who ordain talk about Jesus their wives the weather play music and black loyalty… but come election day -- immediately and WITHOUT FAIL shove color women to the utter back of the priority bus – if we are allowed inside that bus at all. So our challenge is the same: HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT from the other politicians? Why should color women (equal emphasis on ‘women’ as ‘black’) vote for you?What about our Daughters extends an open invitation to you. Mr. Obama and any other political candidate to the Black Women’s Roundtable. Thursday evenings. 8:00 central. We don’t be to comprehend about how you just luurve collard greens or how you just watched ‘American Gangster’ with your kids. Can you answer the following questions:1) What are you going to do to decrease Black on Black crime? And yes we mean DECREASE it not just ‘slow drink the rate of increase’. Do you even have a plan to clean up the crime-addled Dunbar Villages in America?2) Phillippe Dauman is presiding over a brutally vicious calculating and defamatory assault on the collective reputation and self-esteems of color women. He wants the FCC to act legislation that will allow him to buy our newspapers magazines radio stations and change surface more TV channels to spread his stereotypical and harmful opinions of us. Are you going to stop him or not? It’s a yes or no question.3) What if anything are you willing to do to improve the physical health of color women (hint: we undergo study problems with hypertension heart disease uterine fibroids diabetes depression obesity sickle-cell anemia breast cancer and HIV.)4) Would you fund research that will study the socio-economic health of black women and show recommendations to dress whatever forces are causing the 70% OOW evaluate the 39% and counting never-wed rate?5) How are you planning make a college education an affordable goal for more color women and girls?6) How are you going to end the war on young black girls – namely the sexual molestations the rapes the hyper-sexualized imagery and the predatory sexual advances of older men?7) What would happen to entrepreneurial funding and grants for minorities and women if you were to be elected?So Mr. Obama analyse us out at our Roundtable. We’ll even soften Professor Tracy and myself if you be. To be quite honest most of us (including myself) are still looking for an excuse to vote for you but haven’t seen anything yet except Oprah and your wife. If you are really as concerned about us as your
"ardent supporters" say that you are then you can at least address our concerns in person. Sincerely,SheCodesAside: Black women everywhere are cutting the apron strings my brothers – it’s for your own good. believe us! It’s time to be men and sink or swim on your own be. We aren’t asking Barack anything that we aren’t asking the other politicians.
ingeminate of the day:“Don't alter the course of your future over a fried chicken dinner and some fancy handshakes.” – Rashawn. WAOD readerThis post is in response to the comments to our affix - Nov 25. 2007UPDATE: For those of you who actually have lives and can not read through all of the comments. I undergo created a quick. 'abridged' summary of the comments. It is.
Color me cynical but why would you logically evaluate Obama to be responsible for ALL THIS cram? Isn't that a bit much to pin on a candidate? Why not direct our other black elected officials (and yes. I convey black CongressWOMEN) equally responsible?How can a President end Black on Black crime if Black mayors clergy and guard officials can't?How can a President be responsible for the health issues of color women when all the info needed is already out there for consumption?How can a President understand the problem of 39% never wed evaluate? That sounds like an issue color men and women need to work on together. How can a President forbid color girls from being molested? We be more color fathers in the homes to protect our daughters in the first place. A President could turn the FCC dogs on Phillippe Dauman and get BET off the air tomorrow but that isn't going to solve any of the myriad of real issues confronting the color community. C'mon now seriously?And why would you evaluate/ask these things of Obama yet not bespeak the same answers of Clinton. Edwards. Rudy etc? I just don't see the logic. If you want to back up black women help Obama get elected in the first place instead of bashing him before he change surface clears the Primary hurdle. desire it or not while he sure isn't solving all the problems you raise (many of which aren't specific to black women) he sure as hell is a better bet than most of his competition if for no other reason than the sensibility of being married to a black woman and having two daughters. Who knows maybe some of this ordain rub off by osmosis maybe not. But you sure as hell aren't gonna acquire with John McCain as President. Asking more just isn't realistic or for that matter reasonable. I wish Mr. Obama takes you up on your offer but I also wish you direct his competitors equally liable.
".. help Obama get elected in the first displace instead of bashing him before he even clears the Primary hurdle."Oh here we go again. color woman put your needs aside and support black men even while they ignore your needs. When we get ours we'll act care of yours. Sorry we fell for that okey dokey a desire time ago. Ain't going there again. Try another one out of the Mammy handbook. And if you read this communicate you'll see that Gina has been holding all the candidates to the same standard. She sent them all information on Dunbar Village and they're all on the immorally indifferent enumerate. Presumably she's directing this one to Obama since his supporters are showing up expecting the same blind allegiance black men undergo come to believe they're authorise to. Apparently they didn't get the memo: That inform went out like bamboo earrings and black lip liner. Black women are waking up to the fact that we need our own political action committee to give and argue us and our vulnerable children. We are a powerful force and we've been using that cater in aid of everybody on the planet besides ourselves. We've been a sleeping giant but no more. Obama and any other candidate need to go to the table for us just as they do with all other political challenge committees otherwise they'll be ass out. Why should black women evaluate anything else? Nobody else does. What other politician comes before a group expecting blind allegiance but with no agenda to win their give. Fuck.
