Ever since Senator Barack Obama turned down Tavis Smiley’s invitation to be on the panel at his annual “State of the Black Union” discussion, which was held on the same day Obama announced his presidential campaign in Illinois, Smiley has been consistently critical of President Barack Obama. Joined by Cornell West, the two have pointed out and criticized Obama for not caring about the state of impoveri
Martin would not be happy that wall street goes unpunished and that the social safety net is being cut and cut again with Obama and Dems being complicite. An AG who defended big banks is refusing to hold anyone accountable. A president who smoked as much dope as he could going after medical marijuana. Obama surrounding himself with white men would not go unnoticed by Martin. Blacks don’t get a pass from Obama, who is black, why should he get a pass because he is black?
I hate that we can’t at least agree on what we have in common and that is SO much that we can all do for the issues Tavis finds so troubling instead of making up stuff over which to publicly denigrate each other. I’m thinking that Tavis, in his so-called journey toward truth believes the best way to find it is to declare everyone else as a liar. Just read an article in Newsweek in which he lambasted Quenton Tarrantino regarding his interpretation of slavery in D’Jango. Wow, really? Hey Tavis! Here’s an idea! Why not try to broker a deal with Hollywood heavy hitters to fund that ‘historical tableau’ you have identified as missing in our entertainment media??? DO THAT INSTEAD. Maybe then your legacy will be secure in your mind and perhaps in ours as well. Peace to all.
Tavis Smiley…. “can go to hell”!!!!
