Let's make everything about RACE (Unapologetically Black Thread)

[Mark Antony]

This "but it doesn't say BLACK" is so damn silly.

Barack is a moderate. You'll never hear him speak of more radical policies that would put the fear of SET into whites. Now Michelle on the other hand...she'll say something. Say something HARD.

if he had radical policies he wouldn't have won and even his moderate policies were considered socialist. This is America he was always going to be considered radical to Jim Bob from Kentucky. In comparison to countries like Finland or Canada Obamacare isn't that radical but in this country it kind of was.

Barack was in a difficult position. He knew that he was a symbol of what could be for Black people, if we were not effected by slavery, Dred Scott and Jim Crow. Think freely, see yourself as a complete human being, allow yourself your humanity, judging yourself on what you do not do, not what you have done. He also had to be the President of a failing country, with much of the country being about as sharp as a bag of marbles due to white supremacy.

I do remember when Jessie Jackson ran for President, and how the NOI was his security team. Just like with Michelle Obama, white america feared Jessie's wife Jacqueline more than they feared what Jessie was going to do if he won. But Jessie had that thing, a radical feel due to the presence of Farrakhan and the NOI. It made Black people feel connected, so much so that if he indeed won, there'd be change FOR Black people. This was indeed radical.

Of course white america saw Barack as radical, but only due to the color of his skin.

There are white people who have been called too radical that were more moderate than Obama. People don't understand this is a spectrum, there will always be someone more or less liberal or conservative than you are. All I care about is not taking steps backwards. I rather have moderate than MAGA.

But if you are not Black, it isn't seen as being as much of a threat.

JFK and Lincoln got a bullets in their head, if it weren't for the security technology we have now Obama would have been killed.

Yes. However, the republican led senate told the whole world exactly who they thought Barack was, reminding him of where his place should have been.

Obama did not create the political structure in this country, I think he did great with what he had to work with.....they called him a dictator and he didn't make nearly as many executive decisions as our Cheeto in queaf. Anyone who expected Obama to be Django is an imbecile.

Obama was in a tough position. However, you cannot suggest that the Black people who thought that he should have been a bit more demonstrative in his Blackness as President, as being imbeciles. This is indeed wrong.

What you are doing is ridiculing the rightful rage that Black people live with daily in this country. It's a rage that is allowed to whites in this country, even those who feel that wearing a mask is akin to Chattel slavery.

im not ridiculing anyone, I'm asking those people to tell me what the alternative to Obama was "realistically". I dream of a super liberal/antifascist utopia as well but I will accept the small wins that do not MAGA us back to the 1840s.

lol no matter what he does, he is black. Kamala isn't even the president elect and she is catching more heat than Biden for doing what white men have always done. As a black man, I'm not going to feed that nonsense.

This date marks the birth in 1878, of "Major" Taylor. He was an African American cyclist and one of the preeminent American sports pioneers of the 20th century.
Marshall Walter Taylor was born on the outskirts of Indianapolis on November 26. He was one of eight children, raised in rural poverty not far from the noise and bustle of a rapidly expanding industrial city. At the age of 13, with the bicycle given to him from a friend, Marshall began to earn his first few dollars delivering newspapers. Taylor then worked in a bicycle shop doing repairs, teaching customers how to ride bicycles, and doing exhibitions and tricks after regular working hours.
He first appeared as an amateur in races around Indianapolis and Chicago and later in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. Soon recognized as the "colored Sprint Champion of America," he turned professional and astonished everyone. He continued to work at the bike shop until prominent bicycle racer "Birdie" Munger coached him for his first professional racing success in 1896.
Despite continuous bureaucracy and at times, physical opposition, he won his first national championship two years later and became world champion in 1899 in Montreal and American sprint champion in 1899 and 1900.
He broke a series of world records and in 1901 received acclaim during a triumphant tour of Europe, the most international tour of European countries ever undertaken by a black American athlete. Against the best bicycle racers of the world, he enjoyed a position of unequaled supremacy. Taylor was the world fastest bicycle racer for 12 years.
Bicycle track racing between 1890 and 1910 was as popular as any of today's major sports. At a time when Black people were expected to know their place and not to challenge the dominance of Whites, the success of this determined young man came as a disturbing shock, and his astounding athletic speed as a revelation.
He was almost certainly the first Black athlete to have a commercial sponsor and the first to establish world records. He was also a representative of Black America abroad at a time when many people in Europe had never seen a Black person. In a world without cars, motorcycles, or airplanes, racing cyclists were the fastest humans on earth. They were heroic and glamorous figures. When Marshall Taylor died penniless in 1932 in Chicago at the height of the Depression, he was buried in a pauper's grave. He was reburied in 1948, and his achievements praised at a Chicago memorial ceremony.

Sojourner Truth was born into slavery about 1797 in Ulster County, New York. Known as Isabella, her parents were James and Betsey, the property of Colonel Johannes Hardenbergh. As a child she spoke only low Dutch and, like most slaves, never learned to read or write.
About 1815 Isabella married Thomas, a fellow slave, and bore five children -- Diana (b. 1815), Peter (b. 1821), Elizabeth (b.1825), Sophia (b. 1826) and a fifth child who may have died in infancy.
Isabella was sold to four more owners, until she finally walked to freedom in 1826, carrying her infant daughter, Sophia.
She settled in New York City until 1843, when she changed her name to Sojourner Truth, announcing she would travel the land as an itinerant preacher, telling the truth and working against injustice.
During the next several years, Truth lived in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she purchased a home, and in Ohio. She traveled around the East and Midwest preaching for human rights. This illiterate ex-slave was a powerful figure in several national social movements, speaking forcefully for the abolition of slavery, women’s rights and suffrage, the rights of freedmen, temperance, prison reform and the termination of capital punishment.
In the course of her travels, she befriended many of the leading reformers and abolitionists of the day, including Amy Post, Parker Pillsbury, Frances Dana Gage, Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, Laura Haviland, Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony, and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Truth supported herself by selling portraits, captioned "I sell the Shadow to support the Substance." She also received income from the sale of her biography, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth, A Northern Slave, written in 1850 by her friend, Olive Gilbert.
Her grandson, Sammy Banks, accompanied Sojourner on many of her lecture tours. He could read and write for her and was an invaluable companion until he died in 1875, at the age of twenty-four.
Sojourner first came to Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1856 when she was invited to address the radical Quaker group, the Friends of Human Progress. The next year she moved to Michigan, buying a home in the nearby settlement of Harmonia.
Ten years later, Sojourner moved into Battle Creek, converting a small barn on College Street into her home. She lived there with her daughters, Diana and Elizabeth, until her death.
While she lived in Michigan, Truth continued her national human rights crusade. In the 1860's thousands of freedmen and former slaves fled to Washington, D.C., seeking safety and jobs. However, the federal government was totally unprepared for this influx. There was no place for the ex-slaves to live, very little food and no employment. Sojourner worked at Freedman’s Village and for the Freedman's Bureau trying to improve their living conditions.
Maryland residents frequently came into Freedman's Village to steal children. If the parents complained, they were put into the guardhouse. Truth learned of these kidnappings and she encouraged the parents to protest. When the camp commanders threatened to imprison her also, Sojourner replied that, if they tried, she would "make this nation rock like a cradle."
She was very active in relocating the former slaves to western states like Kansas. Sojourner lobbied the government to give them free land and to pay their transportation costs to their new homes. She carried petitions with her, urging people to sign them, asking, "Why don’t some of you stir ’em [the government] up as though an old body like myself could do all the stirring."
Sojourner Truth died at her home on College Street on November 26, 1883. Her funeral service, reportedly attended by 1,000 people, was held at the Congregational-Presbyterian Church. She is buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Battle Creek.
The words inscribed on her tombstone, "Is God Dead?" came from an 1852 encounter between Truth and another noted ex-slave abolitionist, Frederick Douglass. They were both attending a meeting in Salem, Ohio, and Douglass had been speaking very despondently. A hush came over the audience as Sojourner rose and admonished Douglass, asking, "Frederick, is God gone?"
Her tombstone gives her age as 105. Truth herself encouraged speculation about her age, enjoying the added notoriety it gave her to be called the "world's oldest lecturer." According to the few available records, she was 86.

While I do not doubt that Barack will stand on the right side of history, and Kamala has the chance to right many of her wrongs, the idea of Blackness comes from within. Your actions prove the result. For all things considered, Clarence Thomas is supposedly Black as well.

Kamala is suffering from what I call the Hillary effect. She gets scrutinized harshly for what men white or black have done in their jobs. Conservative bootlickers bring up the fact that she prosecuted against a lot of black people like it isn't their modus operandi.

I do not know if it is only conservative bootlickers, but she does have some work to do. Her, Ohan, AOC, Pressley, Tlaib, are going to be in a unique position to effect change in this country, especially if they work together. I love the prospect of that. Scare white people to death.

Im not going to argue with this, I was just commenting on the criticism I've heard against her from "BOTH SIDES".

Malcolm describes the difference between the “house Negro” and the “field Negro.” Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan. 23 January 1963.

So you have two types of Negro. The old type and the new type. Most of you know the old type. When you read about him in history during slavery he was called “Uncle Tom.” He was the house Negro. And during slavery you had two Negroes. You had the house Negro and the field Negro.

The house Negro usually lived close to his master. He dressed like his master. He wore his master’s second-hand clothes. He ate food that his master left on the table. And he lived in his master’s house–probably in the basement or the attic–but he still lived in the master’s house.

So whenever that house Negro identified himself, he always identified himself in the same sense that his master identified himself. When his master said, “We have good food,” the house Negro would say, “Yes, we have plenty of good food.” “We” have plenty of good food. When the master said that “we have a fine home here,” the house Negro said, “Yes, we have a fine home here.” When the master would be sick, the house Negro identified himself so much with his master he’d say, “What’s the matter boss, we sick?” His master’s pain was his pain. And it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. When the house started burning down, that type of Negro would fight harder to put the master’s house out than the master himself would.

But then you had another Negro out in the field. The house Negro was in the minority. The masses–the field Negroes were the masses. They were in the majority. When the master got sick, they prayed that he’d die. [Laughter]

If his house caught on fire, they’d pray for a wind to come along and fan the breeze. If someone came to the house Negro and said, “Let’s go, let’s separate,” naturally that Uncle Tom would say, “Go where? What could I do without boss? Where would I live? How would I dress? Who would look out for me?” That’s the house Negro. But if you went to the field Negro and said, “Let’s go, let’s separate,” he wouldn’t even ask you where or how. He’d say, “Yes, let’s go.” And that one ended right there.

So now you have a twentieth-century-type of house Negro. A twentieth-century Uncle Tom. He’s just as much an Uncle Tom today as Uncle Tom was 100 and 200 years ago. Only he’s a modern Uncle Tom. That Uncle Tom wore a handkerchief around his head. This Uncle Tom wears a top hat. He’s sharp. He dresses just like you do. He speaks the same phraseology, the same language. He tries to speak it better than you do. He speaks with the same accents, same diction. And when you say, “your army,” he says, “our army.” He hasn’t got anybody to defend him, but anytime you say “we” he says “we.” “Our president,” “our government,” “our Senate,” “our congressmen,” “our this and our that.” And he hasn’t even got a seat in that “our” even at the end of the line. So this is the twentieth-century Negro. Whenever you say “you,” the personal pronoun in the singular or in the plural, he uses it right along with you. When you say you’re in trouble, he says, “Yes, we’re in trouble.”

But there’s another kind of Black man on the scene. If you say you’re in trouble, he says, “Yes, you’re in trouble.” [Laughter] He doesn’t identify himself with your plight whatsoever.
