CNN’s Roland Martin Blasts Blacks For Not Holding Obama Accountable, Better Late Than Never I Guess
Your Black World ^ | June 16, 2012 | Yvette Carnell

First the LGBT lobby extracted an about face from Obama on marriage equality, moving him to declare his support for same sex marriage. Then today, Obama responded to the needs of the Latino community by allowing students in the U.S. who are already in deportation proceedings, or those who qualify for the DREAM Act, to remain in America without threat of deportation.

This means that President Obama just instated the Dream Act, at the behest of the Latino community, all by himself.

If you’re black and you don’t feel stupid, then you haven’t been paying attention. And many pundits, commentators, and activists obviously hadn’t been paying attention, at least not until recently.

In a series of tweets, CNN’s Roland S. Martin finally came around to the view I’ve held for months, and noted the following:

No sh*t Sherlock. Problem is, it’s too little too late. It’s hard, damn near impossible, to renegotiate a win in the ninth inning. The time to make the accountability argument would’ve been around early 2010, which just happens to have been around the time I began lighting a fire under of black people to wholeheartedly engage Obama on a black agenda. But when I made the case, all I heard was a bunch of nonsense about how I was a “hater” and how Obama was gonna hook black people up – eventually. Suckers.

Roland Martin had, in his role as CNN commentator (not to be confused with unbiased journalist), a lot of flexibility to ebb that flow of messianic nonsense. He didn’t. He was an apologist for the administration. And so wasVan Jones, who also, as of late, has been ratcheting up his criticisms of Obama.

As Obama continues to hang black people out to dry, a lot of people are going to jump on the *accountability* bandwagon. All I want is for you to remember who was sounding the alarm when it mattered – and who wasn’t.

“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”

Lincoln’s feelings towards blacks are why they don’t hold him in high regard (as they do John Brown, who really put his money where his mouth was).

Absolutely right. I listen to Chicago police calls daily and at night...best show in town. There is no hope for the black people who act like feral animals, sleep all day ‘cause they don't want 9-5 jobs that require them to be educated, law abiding and have a good work ethic, to name a few things. The males spread their seed, ‘cause it feels good! and they don't care, the females who should be setting the tone in their conduct with black men, get pregnant and use that baby as a meal and housing ticket, to get free everything from the govt...literally “seed” money to set them up and provide for their needs...no need to get an education or a job...the government does it all!

So you have lazy losers having babies, providng no guidance, morals, values, everyday responsibility for seeing that their kids do the right thing, no need for marriage cause that means leading a more organized and purposeful life, and that's just work and not in their plans. And the working taxpayers foot the bill.

You have reverends in store front churches preaching nothing of any value or guidance to their flocks, and in Chicago, laundering the money of these well-known street gangs, for a cut of the profits. Instead of preaching a sure-fire set of rules of the road on how to conduct oneself in a civil society, call The Ten Commandments, these revruns do nothing but maybe march in the streets to protest the “removal of guns”, as if guns pull their own trigger and kill, and the thugs holding the guns have nothing to do with it. And they NEVER reprimand the parent/parents, speak out against the immoral lifestyle BY CHOICE of these people..they are useless and only want face time on TV. And so the feral animals roam and thug, kill and live like sewer rats..by choice.

Cops say that these people will either die in the streets or rot in jails. There is no hope for these outlaws and it is their choices that put them where they are. To the men and women who understand that it first begins with a plan of action for the course you will take in life, then education, a job, marriage, and then children, in that order, who understand that they are responsible for themselves, that they must work for what they want, that no one promises you a free ride, (except the democratic/socialists/communists/marxists), that there are rules that govern a civil society, success is a goal.
These are the men and women who assimilate with the culture of our country, who think before they act, have impulse control...everything the feral street thug refuses to do. These men and women take advantage of the educational opportunities, the training programs, etc. offered to them. They know that they can't just “dream” and think that they can be anything they want to be...it takes a PLAN and EDUCATION FIRST, and that there is more to life than rap music and sports as a business goal. They send their kids to charter schools, private schools, and are willing to work for the tuition to insure their kids have a chance to learn, in an otherwise lawless neighborhood, where schools have to have police monitoring the halls from morning to dismissal time each day..nothing but fights, shootings, mayham each day. You can hear all about it on police calls each day. And in the wealthy neighborhoods of Chicago, the tourist areas of Michigan Avenue, the downtown area, these thugs now have a new game of riding the EL in large numbers, roaming Michigan Avenue, robbing tourists and shoppers of their money, phones, computers, battering them, running into high end stores and grabbing all that they can carry, while shoppers fear for their safety, their lives, because it is exclusively black on white hate crime..no whites are committing these crimes...listen to police calls.
And at night, it's best not to be out in any of the black neighborhoods, (or tourist/entertainment areas in white neighborhoods) ‘cause the number of home invasions (gotta stay home sometime), robberies, batteries, domestics (constant calls from women who have been beaten by their “baby daddies”..must be lovin’ the drama to live this lifestyle), calls of “shots fired” are too numerous to mention day and night, reports of thugs running down streets checking car doors and possible loot in cars, shooting people on streets for gang street cred, burglarizing businesses that are open at night. And the police dispatchers work from a back log nightly...Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago, won't kick in for more officers, radios that work, cars that run, ‘cause the revruns demand more services for their people, and, of course, Rahm has to work deals with the money to benefit his party and himself, and so no additional police and no equipment that works. Cops’ hands are tied and they can't do the police work they were trained to do, ‘cause Rahm needs the black vote, and so the police can't do their job, for fear the revruns and the leftist do-gooders will complain and hold their vote for the democratic/socialists/marxists. And the courts either refuse to jail these thugs, or they're let out with minimal sentences, and out the door they go to continue where they left off.

Corruption, greed, deep-seated democratic/socialist/communist/marxist plantation cradle to grave mentality in Chicago, all for the vote, and they know the blacks will fall for it, ‘cause it's easy.

Can't save those who fight against being saved. These will be the casualties of the war we are fighting. So be it. Black folks must clean up their race and the depths to which they have morally fallen, a ship without a compass. Or all will be lost..for them.

A lot of black people are upset that they aren’t the government’s chosen minority anymore.

How about granting all the illegals the right to remain here openly.

That will really help the 50% black “yoot” unemployment rate.

“Please ask the first 30 city denizens who John Brown was.”

Most over 50 would know; at the same time, most suburban denizens under 30 wouldn’t know who Abraham Lincoln was, either.
