Dr. Boyce, you need to concentrate your energy towards educating more people of color to graduate from high school and going on to college. I hear young and older people of color using profanity like there is no tomorrow. White people are more qualified for many jobs than people of Color because they are more educated. White pople do use profanity, but I do not hear it expressed in public as I do from people of color. For instance, I was riding the number 4 train in NYC and there were a group of Black teenagers in the same car having a loud conversation. Every other word was “MOTHER-F AND/OR FU. I turned to look and one of the teenagers said to me “what the fu… are you looking at.” Dr. Boyce, devote your time and energy to these loss souls. Don’t be a hypocrite like many so-call Christian fanatics.

the senate republicans killed the jobs bill this year that would have created 1 million jobs why wasn’t this mention. Why point out security service used by Valerie. Singers, Reality stars, etc use security all the time. Really, lets look at facts that we have the most obstructionist congress and senate in all our country 200+ years.

During NATO’s war of aggression on Libya I described Barack Obama, David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy as the Evil Triplets because of the war crimes their armed forces ommitted against innocent civilians in Libya. However, it was clear to those of us who followed the war closely that Obama was the primary facilitator of this diabolical scheme. This point has been validated by a reporter who was granted extraordinary to the POTUS.

How President Obama Made The Most Controversial Military Decision Of His Presidency

http://www.businessinsider.com/michael-lewis-vanity-fair-profile-how-obama-made-the-decision-on-libya-2012-9

[Obama sent his staff fromthe meeting saying that he wanted an alternative to the no-fly zone — somethingreal that actually solved the problem in Libya. At the team's next meeting in the Situation Room, they presented the option to push for a U.N. resolution to take "all necessary measures" to protect the people of Libya and use America's faster, more powerful air force to eviscerate Qaddafi's army. The Europeans would be in charge of the clean-up. This option was distasteful to basically everyone, but Obama.

As you know, Obama decided against inaction —"That's not who we are," he told Lewis. “Then Obama went upstairs tothe Oval Office to call European heads of state and, as he puts it, 'call their bluff."]

“That’s not who WE are.” — Barack Obama, The Butcher of Libya, the country which had thehighest standard of living in Afrika.

First of all, we should get rid of the Thugs, Gangsters, The Belly -Driven Vultures and The Greedy Free-Loaders, out of our Government, State, Local, and Federal. Especially our Racist Tea-bag Congress and Senate. It is time to Completely Over-Haul our Government, the Unfair and Unjust Laws and The Entire Racist System…Our Government Should be Constructed, in a Uniform Way,so That it is Fair and it Works for Everyone…We Need Diversity Throughout our Entire Government and Our Media,which is Funded, With our Tax-dollars.

I wonder if Dr. Boyce really believes Obama is a great man? How can anyone believe someone who supported NATO’s illegal invasion of Libya with US taxpayer’s $$$$$ is in anyway approaching greatness. How can anyone admire a President who goes on the Jay Leno Show, patting himself on the back after the overthrow of Libya’s legitimate regime…which resulted in the deaths of 50,000 Libyans..and the “ethnic cleansing” of THOUSANDS of Black Libyans…which is continuing….

The Butchering of Gaddafi Is America’s Crime

by BAR executive editor Glen Ford

“Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton appeared like ghoulish despots at a Roman Coliseum, reveling in their Libyan gladiators’ butchery.”

Last week the whole world saw, and every decent soul recoiled, at the true face of NATO’s answer to the Arab Spring. An elderly, helpless prisoner struggled to maintain his dignity in a screaming swirl of savages, one of whom thrusts a knife [4] up his r****m. These are Europe and America’s jihadis in the flesh. In a few minutes of joyously recorded b********y, the rabid pack undid every carefully packaged image of NATO’s “humanitarian” project in North Africa – a horror and revelation indelibly imprinted on the global consciousness by the brutes’ own cell phones.

Nearly eight months of incessant bombing by the air forces of nations that account for 70 percent of the world’s weapons spending, all culminating in the gang-bang slaughter of Moammar Gaddafi, his son Mutassim and his military chief of staff, outside Sirte. The NATO-armed bands then displayed the battered corpses for days in Misurata – the city that had earlier made good on its vow to “purge Black skin” through the massacre and dispersal of 30,000 darker residents of nearby Tawurgha – before disposing of the bodies in an unknown location.

Politicians from both parties sacked the treasury toward the end of the Bush term. Then the Republicans ran a candidate they knew would be perceived to be an old fart, & was an old fart, & impressed no one. McCain was bound to lose! Mainstream Republicans were embarrased by his choice of ruuning mate. Meantime Sarah & her whole fam damly are on the celebrity circuit getting rich like the Kardashians. McCain was the Republican sacrifice intended to distract us all. Obama won more White votes than any democratic candidate since Jimmy Carter and that includes Bill Clinton. This whole past election was a sham to deflect attention away from all the missing money. e.g., Harry Reid was a dirt poor little Mormon boy from Searchlight Nevada. Harry has always been in politics suddently he is a multi-millionaire. Nancy Pelosi has more inside benefits that help both herself & her businessman husband enrich themselves as has now been disclosed that she made millions on insider info on the recent Visa stock issue. Millions! It goes on & on & on meantime the power behind the puppet president is unknown. There are suspicions as to who is really behind the throne pulling the strings but we will not know or find out until years from now. The rich get richer even in these tough economic times, including Obama, & the voters are totally in the dark as to whom to really trust. There are no 4.5 million new jobs when you take the governments own statistical numbers into account there are probably a little over 300 thousand + net of previously lost jobs.
As to all the comments about returning to the plantation – there are no plantations left either – they’ve all been burned down! Meantime, the value of the US dollar plummets, inflation errodes our buying power & we move closer to becoming a third world country every day. General motors can only sell tax subsidized vehicles – everytime GM sells a vehicle it costs the American tax payer & how about all the dealerships that were closed, etc. ??
Our farmers are making more money collecting our tax dollars through crop failure insurance & things only get worse. Suddenly it seems the government is getting ready for big trouble as they load up on amunition & guns that are not the normal government issue. Individual citizens are also loading up on amunition and guns in fear that there will be violence during or after the election. What improvement can we really expect regardless of who is named the winner of this election in November? One thing we all know for sure is that we will all be paying more taxes
and we will continue to keep borrowing money to fight this dumb war in Afganistan, etc. We’ve become numb & indifferent to all the young American soldiers being killed in huge numbers. There is no way to expect a peace dividend as touted at the democratic convention because there is no peace dividend, it’s an empty promise because we have been fighting these wars with money we never had in the first place. Borrowed money! To those that think unemployment is high now, wait until we bring back our thousands of shell shocked soldiers from these wars. Times are really tough now for some but things don’t look too rosy for the immediate future without more sacrifice. That was the message from the democratic convention feel good about getting ready for even more sacrifices in your life style as your disposable income gets eaten away. Try explaining to your kids why you’re not taking your family out more often or planning a nice vacation.

There is no greater example of an inferiority complex than the ideas being expressed here by supporters of President Obama. In American politics loyal constituents are supposed to be rewarded for their support. Thus, it’s okay for the POTUS to specifically address concerns of homosexuals, Hispanics, Zionists, and anybody else except Afrikan Americans. Afrikan Americans obviously don’t deserve similar attention from the POTUS.

Obama’s supporters say the Re-thugs in Congress are blocking his efforts. The POTUS did not need Congress to “grant immunity from deportation to undocumented immigrants brought to America as children, and give them work permits to stay in the country.”

Unemployment, because it drives crime and several other issues facing Afrikan Americans, is the most critical issue we face. And the statistics being quoted here by Dr. Watkins don’t tell the real story. Dr. Julianne Malveaux pointed out earlier this year:

“The data that comes from the Employment Situation report is, probably much lower than the reality of African American unemployment. When we include those marginally attached to the labor force (stopped looking, etc.), as well as those part time workers that want full time work, the unemployment rate for the total population is not 8.5 percent, but 15.2 percent. And the estimate of the African American unemployment rate would be not 15.8 percent, but a whopping 28.3 percent.”

The highest unemployment rate during the Great Depression was 24.9 percent. In 2012 we have a self-proclaimed Black president and a Black depression, and we are not supposed to expect the President to address this crisis. That’s a crock of bovine excrement!

Education plays a part in this. Youths need to be motivated and they need to make good grades in school. If they are poor, they might get scholarships.

Youths need the right friends so they won’t make poor choices that will follow them into adulthood.

From there, these youth need to keep up with the effects of globalization and tech advance.

Parents and churches need to step up and prepare people for these things. Too many are not ready for the cold world
