Beautifully Done, Obama’s Prime Time Informerial

Here is Barack Obama’s prime-time informerial that I, and many others, found incredibly moving and masterfully done. It will be studied for many years in college courses on how to run a campaign. A knot came in my throat as I thought “Man, look at this Black man presented in such class and grace”.

The Late, Great, Johnnie Wilder, Jr and Heatwave

Singer Johnnie Wilder, Jr

During the 1970’s when I grew up, an amazing musical act burst onto the scene called Heatwave, which gave us such hits as Too Hot to Handle, Boogie Nights, Groove line, and the masterpiece you’re about to hear performed live, Always and Forever. The lead singer of the tune is the group’s founder and leader, Johnnie Wilder, Jr, a man who had magic in his voice. Johnnie had one of the best - if not the best - falsetto singing voices ever recorded, including Phillip Bailey of Earth, Wind, and Fire.

D.L. Hugely Show Not Long For This World.

D.L. Hugely

Just tuned in to the new D.L. Hugely show on CNN and man is it stinking up the joint. Now everyone knows I try to support Black folk in anything that’s positive, but brother, the show is not funny, nor particularly informative. I’m sorry, it just doesn’t work. It is especially unfortunate that Hugely’s show debuted at the precise moment that Saturday Night Live is white hot. Tina Fey and her incredible Sarah Palin impression has brought the show back from the dead, and I find myself screaming with laughter every week. They’ve set the comedy bar so high that its next to impossible for Hugely to measure up. Apparently someone thinks he’s talented enough to give him a show on CNN, I just don’t see it though. Get the flowers and the preacher ready, it will all be over soon.

“Cast Down Your Bucket, Where You Are”; The Actual Voice of Booker T. Washington

Booker T. Washington

This clip is an absolute treasure, a 1903 studio recording of Booker T. Washington’s famous “Atlanta Compromise Speech” , which is part of the sound media collection of the Library of Congress. It is simply extraordinary!

An Honest Response to the Chicago “Assault” Hoax

I just read a very fine article posted at MuslimCowboys which denounces the complete dishonesty and double standards displayed by some Muslim blogs and their “coverage” of the “Dayton Mosque Hoax”, and the disgraceful Elhurst College (Chicago) fraud. Judging from the quotes used in the piece, the writer is referring specifically to that scurrilous, deceitful, contemptible den of propaganda , Muslim Matters.org. Can you tell I don’t like those people? Read my critique of them here. Here is what they wrote:

Jennifer Hudson’s Mother and Brother Murdered. Nephew is also Missing

Both the mother and brother of singer/actress Jennifer Hudson, Darnell Donerson and Jason Hudson, were found murdered today in the mother’s home on the south side of Chicago. A nephew, 7 year-old Julian King is also missing. Police are saying the killings were related to domestic violence but the facts are still sketchy.

This is a sickening story. It is so incredibly tragic that I’m at a complete loss for words. So it’s best to let the facts unfold before making too many comments. We must pray for this young women and her family. Watch the local news account here.

Black Leftist Glen Ford Rails Against Obama. Pathetic!

I recently asked the question of why on “principal” some Blacks are not voting for Obama, and well, I think I’ve found the source of that nonsense; Black leftist maniac Glen Ford. Forget for the moment that his name is identical to that of the old, white movie star of the 50’s and 60’s, and focus your attention insted on the lame, tired, warmed over rhetoric of the radical left – al’a Amy Goodman - that he spouts. Ford is the Executive Editor of the online magazine Black Agenda Report, which has been on a campaign over the last year or so to portray Barack Obama as a traitor to the Negro Race. Man, these people are out of space! There is nothing more pathetic than listening to these washed-up Black leftists who are so sold to yesterday that they can’t be bought for today. In some sense you kinda feel sorry for them.

Anyway, here is a sample of one of his anti-Obama diatribes. I’ll let you be the judge.

Exposing the “Bloody Shirt” Waving Propagandists for Who They Are!

There has been great wailing and gnashing of teeth recently in the immigrant Muslim community about an alleged “terrorist attack” at a Dayton, Ohio mosque and another “attack” on a female Muslim college student in Chicago. From the way its been reported, one would have easily imagined that the weapons of mass destruction not found in Iraq had somehow made their way to Ohio to be unleashed on the mosque.

Sensing a prime opportunity to play the victim card in their never ending campaign of propaganda, some Muslims charged that these “attacks” were the direct result of the explosive new documentary on radical Islam entitled Obsession, which very convincingly likens the jihadist agenda in western countries to Nazism.

Powell Endorses Obama

Yes, he made a terrible mistake selling this war, but perhaps this is his chance at redemption. I like General Powell, he is a good and decent man. This clip proves it.

We’ve Come a Mighty Long Ways

At Thursday’s annual Al Smith fund raising dinner, Senator John McCain offered some gracious comments about Senator Barack Obama and the historic significance of his presidential run. In those comments he vaguely alluded to a time when a Black man couldn’t even be invited to dine with a President, much less be one. That historical reference was to the 1901 dinner invitation of President Theodore Roosevelt to the reigning Black leader of the day, Booker T. Washington, and the national outrage and scandal his accepting it produced. First McCain’s comments below the fold
