The welfare state is a loser. They both are willing to give as much taxpayer money to those looking for big daddy government to handle all problems. Embarrassing. Take personal responsibility and quit blaming all your problems on others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28699638.post-60216943953643811602008-03-16T13:09:00.000-07:002008-03-16T13:09:00.000-07:00Brother Earl-I have been reading and listening to ...Brother Earl-<BR/><BR/>I have been reading and listening to your commentary for years and have no doubt that you not only love and respect Black people but will speak and write the truth even when we don't want to hear, or read it. <BR/><BR/>Black America cannot get Obama in the White on the belief in his vagueness about "Hope" and "Change" alone anymore than Obama can Hope to Change Black America's status-quo of even if he does get elected.<BR/><BR/>Stand firm, brother Earl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28699638.post-12743779633613175762008-03-12T23:20:00.000-07:002008-03-12T23:20:00.000-07:00When discounting the power of the Black vote, it's...When discounting the power of the Black vote, it's usually done by people who don't really understand how candidates get elected. Yes, if you look at percentages of Black voters nation wide vs. this or that group, you will think, "Well, the Black vote isn't as important as people think." However, when you look closely at this year's Democratic primary, you can understand how a winning Black voters as a block can benefit.<BR/><BR/>Take Philadelphia. A large concentration of Black voters will help Obama win the city, and he will take all those delegates in those districts. Perhaps Clinton wins the state's popular vote, however she ends up having to share the delegates with Obama to a degree dependent on how well he's done in certain districts.<BR/><BR/>If Black voters were spread out all over rural Pennsylvania, their allegiances wouldn't matter as much, but the fact that they're concentrated within districts matters. Our electoral system is, for better or for worse, set up that way so that people outnumbered have the opportunity to have their voice heard. <BR/><BR/>OTOH, that's why you have White politicians visiting Black churches regularly during election season. White politicians know where the power is, certainly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28699638.post-54613073761478529752008-03-12T21:55:00.000-07:002008-03-12T21:55:00.000-07:00Mr. Hutchinson,The rancid nonsense that you wrote ...Mr. Hutchinson,<BR/><BR/>The rancid nonsense that you wrote in your March 11 article for 'The American Chronicle' is not merely false, but patently absurd. If you really believe that Ferraro is correct and that what she said wasn't a blatantly racist attack on Obama (would anyone in their right mind say that Hillary is only doing well in this election because she's a woman?) I question not merely your political opinion but your SANITY. <BR/><BR/>I always thought you were a rational and progressive individual but the article in the Chronicle supporting Ferraro is MINDLESS. Where''s your sense of integrity and fundamental respect for truth Mr. Hutchinson or have you lost any connection to them as well.<BR/><BR/>I have read many of your books in the past and I have always been impressed by your intellectual clarity, political acumen, respect for scholarship, and commitment to radical/progressive ideas but clearly you are turning into Mr. Hyde on us...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28699638.post-33706508744515896442008-03-12T15:02:00.000-07:002008-03-12T15:02:00.000-07:00I used to have a lot of respect for you, Mr. Hutch...I used to have a lot of respect for you, Mr. Hutchison. However, after this hit piece on Senator Obama - I dunno. <BR/><BR/>NEWS FLASH!!! Barack Obama is carrying the voting electorate of all races, nationalities, sexual orientation and gender. <BR/><BR/>It is exactly these views that you exspouse -that is are so sickening-and precisely why Barack Obama has the support of the independent critical thinking electorate. <BR/><BR/>Thank you, sir. Please go back to sleep for another three decades.

Shall I remind you that you are included in the group of black voters, "they", of which you speak in the previous post, unless my eyes deceive me?<BR/><BR/>Good Luck with those book sales. However, I think this article and the one for Huff Post should help them to escalate.<BR/><BR/>I can see how you could show such affinity to Clinton willing to do whatever it takes to be successful.<BR/><BR/>I hope in the future you show some respect for the intelligence and judgment of the people who look like you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28699638.post-65889306336846131622008-03-12T04:21:00.000-07:002008-03-12T04:21:00.000-07:00And your point is what?

Black folks shouldn't vote for Obama, but rather for Mrs. Clinton 'cause she, being white, got a better shot at it?<BR/><BR/>Shall we bow to white racism?<BR/><BR/>Shall I marry a white woman 'cause she'll open doors for me a black woman never could?<BR/><BR/>That piece you did about Ferraro came straight outta that same mentality. <BR/><BR/>Let's face the fact, that if Mrs. Clinton or Mrs. Ferraro were not <I>white</I> neither would be where they are.
