When the United States elected Barack Obama as the 44th President.Many people in Africa rejoiced and a new outlook towards America emerged.Obama mania swept the African continent and many hope a new relation will develop.Well China has for the last five years been increasing presence in Africa particularly Southern Africa.China has helped Angola develop its ports,buildings,industry,mining and agricultural sector.The Chinese central Bank has loaned some 70 billion dollars in development funding.This is seen by the tremendous amount for Chinese trading vessels of the many African ports.Not everyone is happy about this.The British,French,Portuguess and other former colonial masters are uneasy about China's presence in Africa.Particularly the fact that Africa is growing without their help.The myth about the loyal African subject is just a myth.A growing number of Africans are becoming millionaires and the West feels left out of the picture.As the saying goes things change and people change.Africa has changed,this presents a challenge for Pan Africanist in the West who are hoping an Obama administration would mean greater ties between Africa and African Americans:Kalagenesis.
China Flexes its muscles over the West in Africa
By Ben Blanchard and Cynthia Johnston
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (Reuters) - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao offered Africa $10 billion in concessional loans over the next three years on Sunday, saying China was a "true and trusted friend" of the continent and its people.
The aid offer is double that unveiled by President Hu Jintao at the last summit in Beijing in 2006, as China aims to boost a relationship which politically goes back decades and is now economically booming, to the discomfort of some in the West.
Wen brushed aside concerns that China was only interested in Africa's natural resources to help feed its booming economy.
"China's support for Africa's development is real and solid and, in the future, no matter what turbulence the world undergoes, our friendship with the people of Africa will not change," he told a summit in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Besides the loans, Wen said China would help Africa develop clean energy and cope with climate change, encourage Chinese financial institutions to lend to smaller African firms and expand market access for African products.
He also called for greater international help for the continent.
"Africa's development is an essential part of achieving global development, and as the sincere and dependable friend of Africa, China deeply feels the difficulties and challenges faced by Africa," We said.
"China calls on the international community to enhance its sense of urgency, and support Africa's development in an even truer and more effective way."
COLONIAL PERIOD
Blossoming trade and business ties have attracted Western accusations that Beijing is only interested in African resources, while Chinese commentators respond that envious Europeans still treat the continent like a colony.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi welcomed China's offer of aid. "We the African leaders are able to take the necessary measures to be able to benefit from the opportunities created by our partnership with China in a manner that is consistent with our principles of solidarity."
China's friendship with Africa dates from the 1950s, when Beijing backed liberation movements fighting colonial rule.
Trade has risen sharply in the past decade, driven by China's hunger for resources to power its economic boom and African demand for cheap Chinese products.
Still, this has not been without its critics, who say China is only interested in African resources and supports governments with dubious human rights records as a means to get them.
The summit was attended by the presidents of Zimbabwe and Sudan, two countries often under fire for their rights records.
Wen repeated that China would not interfere in the internal politics of any African country.
"The Chinese government and people have always respected the autonomous right of the African people to choose their own social systems. China's support and aid for Africa has never and will never attach any political conditions."
Some Chinese commentators have not been so diplomatic in the days running up to the summit, saying the West still views Africa as though it were a colony.
"The West is envious of China and Africa drawing closer," popular Chinese tabloid the Global Times, published by Communist Party mouthpiece the People's Daily, wrote on Tuesday.
"Europeans view Africa as their own backyard," the newspaper quoted Chinese Africa expert Xu Weizhong as saying. "Of course they feel uncomfortable about the arrival of the Chinese."
Some Africans say China's approach differs from that of Europe or the United States.
"China's policy is based on mutual development. Few Western countries have a foreign policy like this -- most are about telling Africans what to do," said Kwaku Atuahene-Gima, executive director of the Africa programme at the China Europe International Business School in Shanghai.

Controversial video.Rip Black America2
A very inflammatory video published by a brother named Blacktruthforever has the iseecolor.com and Youtube community on fire.In this video the author places blame for the failure in Black male/female relationships on the new so called independent woman in Black America.There is blame on both sides but the author hit some very truthful points as well as some generalizations about all Black women.The Kalagenesis says the problem was too simplified by the author.
here is the link to the intense forum on Michael Baisden's website

Black America's civil war pt2.Lil Waynes says F@#& Rev Al Sharpton on is latest hit song
Using a remake of an old popular tune many grew up listening to Lil Wayne remade the song Misunderstood to his own version.Now the reason for this blog is simple,this subject affected me personally.I was driving down a popular section of my city when I looked over in the next car to see a car load of young cute White girls listening to hip hop.Now years ago I was on the so called Hip hop nation bandwagon.A movement to bring all races together by getting them to listen to the same music.Now I have to admit at first it was working.Whites learned that Black people do not all think the same and have many distinctions as far as region,background,ect.Blacks learned that not all White people are racist and mean them harm.Now getting back to the girls,I looked over at them and smiled and nodded.They seemed to satisfied that I approved their style or something,or maybe it was them wanted acknowledgment that they were"down".So my nod gave it to them.The song they were listening to was Lil Wayne's Misunderstood.The song has a beautiful beat and it is good.So I decided to look it up on youtube,The song starts out with nice with him venting typical thug nonsense the dumb down youth in America can relate to.He talks first about how people don't think he should have the house he has because he so called hustled for it.That a child rapist would be welcomed over him.Not once did he acknowledge race might be the reason.To do so would put him in the same struggle as his fellow blacks.This is something many people in sports,music,entertainment try to avoid.They know the majority of people who purchase their product are white and suburban.They look to rappers to provide them with a comfort zone.The comfort zone come first and foremost with the antagonism between black people.The marketing people skillfully make sure only hip hop that has some form of Black on Black contention makes it to the suburbs.
Lil Wayne disrespects Rev Al Sharpton
Now although many may disagree with what tactics the Rev uses most Black people stand behind him and consider him a real leader and champion of the people's struggle.Lil Wayne cleverly uses the dislike many White people have for the Rev Al Sharpton to sell tons of records, in the process he sells the Black community out.He lives in New Orleans as I am told.Why has he never used his music to say F@#& George W Bush?Has he forgotten Katrina.And the simple ignorant mined Black people who go along with him should be condemned too.There now are young impressionable minds on the internet now saying F@# Al Sharpton.Many probably do not know who he even is.Can you imagine 45 years ago a Black singer being paid to say F@#& Malcolm X?Now I see why those little White girls were bopping to Lil Wayne so hard.We are in a war Lil Wayne and traitors like him have chosen their side.

Did the African American community cause the mortgage meltdown as Glenn Beckkk and his teabaggers insist?
I have all but given up on journalism in America.Maybe it is because journalist were never all that accomplished to begin with.Just flunkies who could not make it in business,science,academics ect.Time and time again you see bloggers doing their jobs for them.Bloggers have nothing to lose.The blog thread is the writing on the wall.This big monster no one can control or silence.The journalist in America particularly the Black Journalist have turned coward one too many times.Back in the days it was known that White philanthropic charities gave money to certain black newspapers in return for shaping the views of the black community.Those black journalist who defended the community were seen as uppity,radical,ect.The one million dollar question the Kalagenesis is asking is"WHERE THE HELL ARE THE PEOPLE WHO USE TO FIGHT FOR US??????The simple answer is there are none.Tavis Smiley has a show but he is no more that a glorified stock boy for Walmart,and a lot attendant for Exxon/Mobil.The reason I say this is because why are the right wing getting away with slander in accusing our community of the mortgage meltdown?Where are those big mouths who cant get enough of calling themselves spokemouths for us until they have to go against powerful white media people and they don't want to seem like a troublemaker.
The Following is a reply to an ignorant Tea Bagger
.The housing issue did not happen as a result of the community reinvestment act.Why do I even reply to your uneducated racist ignorant classless ass?Be that as it may let me school you to the fact.The community reinvestment act came in the late 70's I believe in 1979 under former President Jimmy Carter.The act was necessary to rebuild neglected areas in all cities in America.The act allocated funds to contractors and developers to build housing in areas that had old abandoned buildings.The plan also gave backing to banks to lend money to low income people so they can buy house in those redeveloped housingThe program was very successful and the federal,state,and local governments got tax revenue from the new home owners.This is how you see communities that had blight come back to life.
The problem came later when the Federal government under a deregulation provision in 1998 by Senator Phil Graham and signed by President Bill Clinton allowed for the community reinvestment act to relax standards in lending.Now this was 20 years after the act was passed so please get your facts together.
Toxic assets caused the meltdown
I know the simple minded white trash will never understand this but let me try.Now instead of the community investment act being for low income people to purchase homes in modest low income areas.The relaxed regulations allowed banks to use the act to makerisky loans to unqualified buyersThey did this not because of the government making them it was greed!!!!!!!!!!!!
CDO'S were the culprits in the scandalCDO stands for collateral Debt Obligation.I do expect ant Tea bagger to understand this it is over their heads.Again I will try.What CDO's do is splice mortgages in many pieces so when the utility like Bear Sterns,Freddy Mac Bought them were able to hide the debt with the liquid assets.This covered losses and everyone was making billions of dollars because investors would buy the stocks seeing no losses only gains.Now the bankers should be in jail for making loans to people they know were not able to pay.The community reinvestment act was only for housing within the income means of the applicant.The banks during this time period did not bother to follow the guild lines because thanks to Republican Phil Graham the regulations were laxed.The same thing happened in the Eron scandel and Soncom and several energy companies.Remember Ken Lay?Of course you don't it is easier to follow Hannity,Beckkk, AND BLAME POOR BLACK PEOPLE.

Kanye West at 2009 VMA.Hip hop at the crossroads
So Sunday evening in September have been a central event in my household for the past eight years.That is when I started watching the VMA's live on MTV.In 2000 hip hop overtook rock as the dominant music genre among American youth.I supported it back then for many reasons.One reason was I thought anytime black youth can make money at an art form was a step forward.I though hip hop would break down barriers and misunderstandings among different races.I believed this back then but what I have always noticed is that many artist are not vetted or censored in the community.Once a person has a so called hit record MTV and the powerful recording industry decide to beam this artist into every home in America,their antics and actions come along with it.Many artist have little professional or family background rooted in descent behavior.Although there were shocking things at the VMA's far worst than what Kanye West did to country music artist Taylor Swift,in the age of Obama and even the most liberal White America now has his eyes on every thing that comes out of Black America.
Racism at the heart of the Kanye/Swift Controversy
The question many of us who consider ourselves nationalist and Pan Africanist is:Why do these hip hop so called brothers behave so stupidly?Why do they continue to insist like Bill Cosby said recently that racism is not a problem?Why don't these people understand in their simple arrogant minds that what they do is always going to reflect the Black/White relationship in America?And being the weaker group we as black people often will suffer the most from any fallout in the area of race relations.We have never gotten to the point where we are independent of White America
economically.Now hip hop is at a crossroad.Although many artist like Kanye,50 cent,Lil Wayne,Soldja Boy,Gucchi Man,Jay Z,Diddy,ect get hood and got swagger,they are dependent on the White youth and White party crowd for their bread and butter.One thing we Pan African culturalist have over the hip hop nation is we do not on the whole need or want White approval to succeed.
The fallout from this will have racial implications
We have an African American President,but many whites still hold racist views in America.Remember the John Birch Society?The Ku Klux Klan whom by the way was once the largest organization in American history.The racist groups like the Aryan Nations,The Order,and National Alliance all see fertile recruiting ground among lost white people.The image of a Black man stealing the innocent moment from a White All American blond girl triggered racist animosity that goes back to slavery in the United States.The image of him snatching the mic from Taylor Swift in a country where White people have seen a black man take the primary from a White woman,then the Presidency from another.This imagery all conscious black men know is still dangerous in a racist anti black society.The question the Kalagenesis has is when are the black artist going to act responsible like the artist who came before them?Back in the sixties artist represented the community the best way they could and to a people who did not have much they made us fell proud.Looking at Kanye walking around drunk passing hennessy to Joe Jackson live before millions of viewers was an low point for the African American community.

Kalagenesis Debate.Kala Nation goes head to head with Black Republican and iseecolor member H
Recently a so called Black Christian Republican aged 45 got into a debate with a young inexperienced Black woman who supports President Barack Obama.This man instead of representing the view of a decent Christian man with with conservative values and beliefs he went on a bullying rant on someone who cant fight back.Well the Kalagenesis is the defender of the weak and helpless.The member I am referring to is Iseecolor.com member H a self described Christian Republican who is a multi million dollar businessman.Before I am done with him he will delete his profile and disappear.This is a sample of the reply and discussion and his reply back to the Kala Nation Under God.

If you are such a good business person where is your website and what do you sell?Why were you not featured on Michael Baisden?Why are you not networking with other business people on this site instead of belittling young people who Know no better?You wrote"Little girl, I'm 45-yrs old, an international business owner (netted $2.6 million last year) and own personal properties in several countries (Norway, Austria, USA, and Belize). When I herald the dangers of the socialist policies that the Obama Administration is enacting I speak from real-world business experience. I'm the guy that owns the small-business that hires ignorant children like you (who have absolutely no skills, talents, or potential). Yet, your dumb ass thinks you deserve more than you can produce for yourself. You expect people like me to surrender more of our resources, that we've produced through our efforts, to do for you what you're unable/unwilling to do for yourself. The thing that you should remember, as you and other slacker-losers demand that us "rich people" pay more, is that we've already taken a ton of our money out of the US where Washington D.C. can't touch it.
First of all you sit up here and defend a racist party like the Republicans when a growing number of Republicans now admit that there party has been taken over by Southern White racist conservatives who have as much love for Black people as the devil has for holy water.You talk about socialism this reply shows you are ignorant and don't know the definition of socialism.So now go and google it I will take you apart and expose you for the fraud liar you are.Explain the cash for clunkers,The bank bailout,small business tax credit and the health care reform which will help small business.You lied when you said you made millions in revenue.How can you make millions and not have a good tax accountant who can show you how to create tax shelters and write off all your expenses as business.You must be a stupid business person.And the money that you get taxed in the end is nothing compared to what the government spends protecting your rights and property here and abroad.Now you said people surrendering your resources.What about the many who fight for a share of the wealth but it is still in the hands a a few.You sound as ignorant as hell H.I don't know anyone who is waiting for a politician to do anything for them.But the lobbyist,PAC's and others sleep with politicians everyday to get what they want.But as soon as a poor person as for opportunity it is a crime.You are sick,Obama is the best thing this country has.And show me where any new tax laws took money from you since Obama came to office!!!!!!!!!!!!Show me the provision HR?

Okay, I'll take your bait because your spiel actually amused me.
If you are such a good business person where is your website and what do you sell?Why were you not featured on Michael Baisden?Why are you not networking with other business people on this site...
I own an international economic consultancy. My clientèle aren't found surfing these pages. Why would I waste bandwidth/webmaster resources with making anything available to an audience that can't benefit me or from my business? The world is a lot bigger than shuck-and-jive networking sites trying to balance everything from social issues to hooking up.
...instead of belittling young people who Know no better?
You're absolutely right on this point. However, I'm not sure the entire string has been taken into account because if I recall correctly I did turn the discourse into an educational opportunity. Nonetheless, that's a mute point. You are right. I was completely wrong. I didn't see the "under 21" until deep into the conversations.
First of all you sit up here and defend a racist party like the Republicans...
Of the 2 major political parties in the USA, I side with the Republicans because they espouse more of the principles that I believe in. Heck...both sides have their authentic racists. Let's not try to point fingers on that note. I'm pretty sure that you haven't heard me "defend" Repubicans. I defend the capitalistic free market that everyone has access to. The capitalistic free market that this nation was built on. And in doing so, I don't care who wasn't fortunate enough to take advantage of it. I defend the Constitutional Rights that we were given by the Founders. I defend the Conservative principles that I live by.
You talk about socialism this reply shows you are ignorant and don't know the definition of socialism.
Actually, I'm fully aware of what "Socialism" is and President Obama is (along with the Demoncraps/Repubicans in both Houses) steering our Nation toward socialism. Take a minute to read a dictionary before you speak.
Socialism - * Main Entry: so·cial·ism
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
Explain the cash for clunkers,The bank bailout,small business tax credit and the health care reform which will help small business.
Each of the items you've brought up are actually textbook examples of Socialism
"Cash for Clunkers" is taking money from citizens (because government doesn't create wealth/income) and administering the means of distributing goods (cars). Furthermore, the automaker that "won" with the most sales was Toyota! A Japanese Corporation!!! That means billions and billions of our dollars are going to Japan! US manufacturers sold less cars under this socialist program. I'd have complained but the govt should have made the program open only to US manufacturers so our money stayed in the USA.
"The bank bailout" and "small business tax credit" - again, government taking private money away from citizens (through taxes) and distributing to to private corporations because private corporations failed to prudently manage their fiscal responsibilities. The U.S. Government ("we the people") have the majority stake in AIG and GM. Is that not definition #2? Come on man/lady.
Health care reform - this is definition #1 and #2 completely! Irrespective of that blatant fact, health care is not a right. What's government doing trying to get involved in another private industry? I'm enthusiastic when my pharma stocks produce dividends quarterly. I'm encouraged when my health care stocks make a profit on my investments.
Furthermore, you and I are not entitled to reap the benefits of a medical professional/pharma manufacturer just because that seems "unfair" when you or I can't afford to pay for their services...services that they've taken the responsibility to obtain through difficult schooling and R&D, respectively.
...not have a good tax accountant who can show you how to create tax shelters and write off all your expenses as business.You must be a stupid business person.
The dishonest thing is to "create tax shelters" to hide from the legal obligations that we have as US Citizens. I'm not trying to avoid taxes, partner. I'm all for equitable tax liabilities. I just don't want to pay more and more for lazy, worthless, useless people to sit around and do nothing but receive increased "benefits" while I'm out creating jobs and producing revenue and taking all of the risk.
What about the many who fight for a share of the wealth but it is still in the hands a a few.
What have they EARNED? The reality of "wealth" is that it is and never will be attainable by everyone. It's a natural phenomenon that some people are more capable than others. If investing were easy, everyone would be a Warren Buffet. If real estate were easy, everyone would be a Donald Trump. If chatting on the radio were easy, everyone would be a Michael Baisden. If golf were simple, everyone would be Tiger Woods. If writing were simple, everyone would be a Terry McMillan. If communicating/producing were simple, everyone would be an Oprah Winfrey. These people have risen to the top, not because their profession is easy, but because they have something special within them and have learned to capitalize on it. There are those who have natural abilities, others profit through perseverance, and still others have just damn good fortune to capitalize when and where others can't. All I want is the chance to be what I can define as a success.
Is it "unfair"? Heck if I know. I do know that spending time/energy complaining about what someone else has that I want/ain't got doesn't do anything to get me closer to what I want. I also know that if we all had $1 million in the bank the cost of bread would be several thousand dollars a loaf. Then folk would be complaining because he's got $10 million and I've only got $6 million. You know, the poorest Americans are still richer than the majority of the world.
You sound as ignorant as hell...
That could very well be. However, I'm not one of the losers crying because I can't afford medical coverage for myself and my family. I'm not one of the losers crying because I can't afford to buy a car unless "Master Sammy in the big White House" takes money from my neighbors and gives it to me as a "Cash for Clunkers program." Or worse, borrows from the Communist Chinese so we can spend, spend, spend. I'm not one of the losers crying because "the white man," the lobbyists, some PAC, or sweet call girl is sleeping with the people that we elect and getting favors.
But as soon as a poor person as for opportunity it is a crime.
Let us differentiate between seeking opportunity and expecting something for nothing. Praising the "Cash for Clunkers" is asking for something in return for nothing. What did any of the "Cash for Clunkers" participants do to EARN those few thousand dollars that taxpayers are responsible to provide? Seeking opportunity is pulling yourself up by the "bootstraps." Do you hear Indians (from Asia) crying because "the white man is keeping them down"? How about Asians coming over in droves for the opportunity to pursue their dreams/goals. What about the latinos that are coming from Central/South America for an opportunity to make an honest living and to be more than they can in their country? This is the greatest nation in the history of the world! Personally, I'm sick of hearing MY people complain because they can't get ahead yet someone just got off of the boat (literally) and is making a very profitable living, yet we've been sitting around for decades "wishing" more than sweating for ourselves, for our dreams, for our futures, for our kids. I have no tolerance for MY people complaining because they can't afford school clothes for their kids but they've got 24" wheels on their brand new car and a Blu-ray attached to their 56" Plasma TV.
You are sick,Obama is the best thing this country has.
I appreciate your perspective. However, everyone is entitled to be ignorant (look it up before you get offended). The nation is further in debt (with no thanks to Bush 43) than ever before. We, the nation, are spending money that our (yours and mine) great-grandchildren will be trying to pay off. There's something fundamentally wrong with that! Well, that is unless you're one of those parents that uses your kids' SSN to get credit, electricity, or goods and leaves their financial future all screwed up. Not saying you're that guy/gal but I suspect we both know of people who've done that to their own children. Well, that's what borrowing for new programs today is doing to the nation.
And show me where any new tax laws took money from you since Obama came to office!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent point, however, I'm not foolish enough to play economic defense. When Senator Obama won the Demoncrap nomination I immediately began transferring (legally) resources (money) and incorporating my business overseas (with the corp headquarters overseas) to minimize my vulnerability to a socialistic administration. The bills for these billions and billions of programs Pres. Obama wants will come due. Whether you and I pay now or later it will have to be paid. The ONLY asset that I still own in the USA is a hamburger franchise located in the Midwest and as soon as I find a buyer that baby is gone!
Show me the provision HR?
Obviously more of my ignorance...don't have a clue what a "provision HR" is.
I think you need to come to this thread and answer for yourself.
First things first, I neither need to answer to anyone nor for anything. If a thread between A & B gets disclosed (whether in part or whole) to another party any problems the 3rd party has are his/her own.
Besides, it would be pretty comical to engage in the tribal/mob mentality. I understand that a Conservative/Republican/Libertarian isn't at all welcome in the "Black Community" or this superficial "networking" site, primarily because we've decided to leave the plantation and are automatically considered to be a "sell-out," "Uncle Tom," or somehow "not Black."
I enjoyed your challenge/confrontation. You've solidified my impressions of Demoncraps/Liberals.
Now, since you've got a passion for the ObamaCare. What has the bureaucracy of government managed successfully? How's health care in the Veteran's Administration? How's Freddie Mack and Fannie Mae? How's the U.S. Postal Service? How's Medicare/Medicaid? How did Congress do with managing the Congressional Post Office? How's government done with Social Security? Depending on your age, you're paying your hard earned money into a system that's going to be flat broke before you collect a single penny. How is the government doing with spending within our (the nation's) means, balancing the budget? When your bank account is lower than you want or empty do you continue to borrow and spend? I sure as hell don't. Yet, that's exactly what the government does. Sounds to me like you want more of that. I don't! All of these government ran programs are total disasters! Brother/Sister, the bureaucracy keeps raising taxes to spend more and more without regard to what it's doing to the everyday man, woman, and child. When my businesses begin to not turn a profit I change how we do business. If it goes into the red, I sell. Government doesn't...it tells us to just give more. Isn't that what Biden said, "It's patriotic to pay more taxes." That S.O.B. made millions and gave less than 3% to charity. He'd rather take from you and me. Oh, we won't take it from the poor people...we'll take it from the rich. Are you sure you want an opportunity to gain wealth? :-)
The communists just come out and say "we can do it better if we just had more money." The socialists disguise it as "rights" to those who don't have what they want.
Hopefully I've conveyed my messages concisely but thoroughly. As I'm sure you're aware, writing isn't the most effective means of communication.

If you are such a good business person where is your website and what do you sell?Why were you not featured on Michael Baisden?Why are you not networking with other business people on this site instead of belittling young people who Know no better?You wrote"Little girl, I'm 45-yrs old, an international business owner (netted $2.6 million last year) and own personal properties in several countries (Norway, Austria, USA, and Belize). When I herald the dangers of the socialist policies that the Obama Administration is enacting I speak from real-world business experience. I'm the guy that owns the small-business that hires ignorant children like you (who have absolutely no skills, talents, or potential). Yet, your dumb ass thinks you deserve more than you can produce for yourself. You expect people like me to surrender more of our resources, that we've produced through our efforts, to do for you what you're unable/unwilling to do for yourself. The thing that you should remember, as you and other slacker-losers demand that us "rich people" pay more, is that we've already taken a ton of our money out of the US where Washington D.C. can't touch it.
First of all you sit up here and defend a racist party like the Republicans when a growing number of Republicans now admit that there party has been taken over by Southern White racist conservatives who have as much love for Black people as the devil has for holy water.You talk about socialism this reply shows you are ignorant and don't know the definition of socialism.So now go and google it I will take you apart and expose you for the fraud liar you are.Explain the cash for clunkers,The bank bailout,small business tax credit and the health care reform which will help small business.You lied when you said you made millions in revenue.How can you make millions and not have a good tax accountant who can show you how to create tax shelters and write off all your expenses as business.You must be a stupid business person.And the money that you get taxed in the end is nothing compared to what the government spends protecting your rights and property here and abroad.Now you said people surrendering your resources.What about the many who fight for a share of the wealth but it is still in the hands a a few.You sound as ignorant as hell H.I don't know anyone who is waiting for a politician to do anything for them.But the lobbyist,PAC's and others sleep with politicians everyday to get what they want.But as soon as a poor person as for opportunity it is a crime.You are sick,Obama is the best thing this country has.And show me where any new tax laws took money from you since Obama came to office!!!!!!!!!!!!Show me the provision HR?

...instead of belittling young people who Know no better?
You're absolutely right on this point. However, I'm not sure the entire string has been taken into account because if I recall correctly I did turn the discourse into an educational opportunity. Nonetheless, that's a mute point. You are right. I was completely wrong. I didn't see the "under 21" until deep into the conversations.
First of all you sit up here and defend a racist party like the Republicans...
Of the 2 major political parties in the USA, I side with the Republicans because they espouse more of the principles that I believe in. Heck...both sides have their authentic racists. Let's not try to point fingers on that note. I'm pretty sure that you haven't heard me "defend" Repubicans. I defend the capitalistic free market that everyone has access to. The capitalistic free market that this nation was built on. And in doing so, I don't care who wasn't fortunate enough to take advantage of it. I defend the Constitutional Rights that we were given by the Founders. I defend the Conservative principles that I live by.
You talk about socialism this reply shows you are ignorant and don't know the definition of socialism.
Actually, I'm fully aware of what "Socialism" is and President Obama is (along with the Demoncraps/Repubicans in both Houses) steering our Nation toward socialism. Take a minute to read a dictionary before you speak.
Socialism - * Main Entry: so·cial·ism
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
Explain the cash for clunkers,The bank bailout,small business tax credit and the health care reform which will help small business.
Each of the items you've brought up are actually textbook examples of Socialism
"Cash for Clunkers" is taking money from citizens (because government doesn't create wealth/income) and administering the means of distributing goods (cars). Furthermore, the automaker that "won" with the most sales was Toyota! A Japanese Corporation!!! That means billions and billions of our dollars are going to Japan! US manufacturers sold less cars under this socialist program. I'd have complained but the govt should have made the program open only to US manufacturers so our money stayed in the USA.
"The bank bailout" and "small business tax credit" - again, government taking private money away from citizens (through taxes) and distributing to to private corporations because private corporations failed to prudently manage their fiscal responsibilities. The U.S. Government ("we the people") have the majority stake in AIG and GM. Is that not definition #2? Come on man/lady.
Health care reform - this is definition #1 and #2 completely! Irrespective of that blatant fact, health care is not a right. What's government doing trying to get involved in another private industry? I'm enthusiastic when my pharma stocks produce dividends quarterly. I'm encouraged when my health care stocks make a profit on my investments.
Furthermore, you and I are not entitled to reap the benefits of a medical professional/pharma manufacturer just because that seems "unfair" when you or I can't afford to pay for their services...services that they've taken the responsibility to obtain through difficult schooling and R&D, respectively.
...not have a good tax accountant who can show you how to create tax shelters and write off all your expenses as business.You must be a stupid business person.
The dishonest thing is to "create tax shelters" to hide from the legal obligations that we have as US Citizens. I'm not trying to avoid taxes, partner. I'm all for equitable tax liabilities. I just don't want to pay more and more for lazy, worthless, useless people to sit around and do nothing but receive increased "benefits" while I'm out creating jobs and producing revenue and taking all of the risk.
What about the many who fight for a share of the wealth but it is still in the hands a a few.
What have they EARNED? The reality of "wealth" is that it is and never will be attainable by everyone. It's a natural phenomenon that some people are more capable than others. If investing were easy, everyone would be a Warren Buffet. If real estate were easy, everyone would be a Donald Trump. If chatting on the radio were easy, everyone would be a Michael Baisden. If golf were simple, everyone would be Tiger Woods. If writing were simple, everyone would be a Terry McMillan. If communicating/producing were simple, everyone would be an Oprah Winfrey. These people have risen to the top, not because their profession is easy, but because they have something special within them and have learned to capitalize on it. There are those who have natural abilities, others profit through perseverance, and still others have just damn good fortune to capitalize when and where others can't. All I want is the chance to be what I can define as a success.
Is it "unfair"? Heck if I know. I do know that spending time/energy complaining about what someone else has that I want/ain't got doesn't do anything to get me closer to what I want. I also know that if we all had $1 million in the bank the cost of bread would be several thousand dollars a loaf. Then folk would be complaining because he's got $10 million and I've only got $6 million. You know, the poorest Americans are still richer than the majority of the world.
You sound as ignorant as hell...
That could very well be. However, I'm not one of the losers crying because I can't afford medical coverage for myself and my family. I'm not one of the losers crying because I can't afford to buy a car unless "Master Sammy in the big White House" takes money from my neighbors and gives it to me as a "Cash for Clunkers program." Or worse, borrows from the Communist Chinese so we can spend, spend, spend. I'm not one of the losers crying because "the white man," the lobbyists, some PAC, or sweet call girl is sleeping with the people that we elect and getting favors.
But as soon as a poor person as for opportunity it is a crime.
Let us differentiate between seeking opportunity and expecting something for nothing. Praising the "Cash for Clunkers" is asking for something in return for nothing. What did any of the "Cash for Clunkers" participants do to EARN those few thousand dollars that taxpayers are responsible to provide? Seeking opportunity is pulling yourself up by the "bootstraps." Do you hear Indians (from Asia) crying because "the white man is keeping them down"? How about Asians coming over in droves for the opportunity to pursue their dreams/goals. What about the latinos that are coming from Central/South America for an opportunity to make an honest living and to be more than they can in their country? This is the greatest nation in the history of the world! Personally, I'm sick of hearing MY people complain because they can't get ahead yet someone just got off of the boat (literally) and is making a very profitable living, yet we've been sitting around for decades "wishing" more than sweating for ourselves, for our dreams, for our futures, for our kids. I have no tolerance for MY people complaining because they can't afford school clothes for their kids but they've got 24" wheels on their brand new car and a Blu-ray attached to their 56" Plasma TV.
You are sick,Obama is the best thing this country has.
I appreciate your perspective. However, everyone is entitled to be ignorant (look it up before you get offended). The nation is further in debt (with no thanks to Bush 43) than ever before. We, the nation, are spending money that our (yours and mine) great-grandchildren will be trying to pay off. There's something fundamentally wrong with that! Well, that is unless you're one of those parents that uses your kids' SSN to get credit, electricity, or goods and leaves their financial future all screwed up. Not saying you're that guy/gal but I suspect we both know of people who've done that to their own children. Well, that's what borrowing for new programs today is doing to the nation.
And show me where any new tax laws took money from you since Obama came to office!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent point, however, I'm not foolish enough to play economic defense. When Senator Obama won the Demoncrap nomination I immediately began transferring (legally) resources (money) and incorporating my business overseas (with the corp headquarters overseas) to minimize my vulnerability to a socialistic administration. The bills for these billions and billions of programs Pres. Obama wants will come due. Whether you and I pay now or later it will have to be paid. The ONLY asset that I still own in the USA is a hamburger franchise located in the Midwest and as soon as I find a buyer that baby is gone!
Show me the provision HR?
Obviously more of my ignorance...don't have a clue what a "provision HR" is.
I think you need to come to this thread and answer for yourself.
First things first, I neither need to answer to anyone nor for anything. If a thread between A & B gets disclosed (whether in part or whole) to another party any problems the 3rd party has are his/her own.
Besides, it would be pretty comical to engage in the tribal/mob mentality. I understand that a Conservative/Republican/Libertarian isn't at all welcome in the "Black Community" or this superficial "networking" site, primarily because we've decided to leave the plantation and are automatically considered to be a "sell-out," "Uncle Tom," or somehow "not Black."
I enjoyed your challenge/confrontation. You've solidified my impressions of Demoncraps/Liberals.
Now, since you've got a passion for the ObamaCare. What has the bureaucracy of government managed successfully? How's health care in the Veteran's Administration? How's Freddie Mack and Fannie Mae? How's the U.S. Postal Service? How's Medicare/Medicaid? How did Congress do with managing the Congressional Post Office? How's government done with Social Security? Depending on your age, you're paying your hard earned money into a system that's going to be flat broke before you collect a single penny. How is the government doing with spending within our (the nation's) means, balancing the budget? When your bank account is lower than you want or empty do you continue to borrow and spend? I sure as hell don't. Yet, that's exactly what the government does. Sounds to me like you want more of that. I don't! All of these government ran programs are total disasters! Brother/Sister, the bureaucracy keeps raising taxes to spend more and more without regard to what it's doing to the everyday man, woman, and child. When my businesses begin to not turn a profit I change how we do business. If it goes into the red, I sell. Government doesn't...it tells us to just give more. Isn't that what Biden said, "It's patriotic to pay more taxes." That S.O.B. made millions and gave less than 3% to charity. He'd rather take from you and me. Oh, we won't take it from the poor people...we'll take it from the rich. Are you sure you want an opportunity to gain wealth? :-)
The communists just come out and say "we can do it better if we just had more money." The socialists disguise it as "rights" to those who don't have what they want.
Hopefully I've conveyed my messages concisely but thoroughly. As I'm sure you're aware, writing isn't the most effective means of communication.

Africa in the age of Obama.The winds of change.
It is abundantly clear with the unrest in many parts of Africa that change must come.The average brother and sister on the continent are tired of being killed,robbed, exploited,slandered,belittled,and marginalized by the rest of humanity.Many up and coming young Africans in Africa and the diaspora now seem to be fixated on the enemy within undermining our progress.The Africa of Patrice Lumumba,Steven Biko,and Kwame Nkhumra,is gone in favor of thugs who pillage the treasure of their peoples.Take Uganda's Museveni,a country where rural people still are eaten by crocodiles because they dont have running water for their villages.But yet he finds the money two years ago to host the so called commonwealth conventions.He spent hundreds of millions on a two day event while his people go without the basics.Well Obama's election was about change and transparency.And that is spreading across the African continent like wildfire and the traitors are scared-Kalagenesis.The following is an article by a Tanzanian journalist living in Canada:
“Strongmen or Strong Institutions: Which Way for Africa?” by Nkwazi N. Mhango
August 30, 2009 by asabagna
Those are my catch words from President Barack Obama’s stunning speech in Ghana, although he dwelt on many issues reminiscent to Africa’s endemic and systemic problems. Unlike other past American presidents, Obama seems determined to face the reality by giving African potentates a bitter pill to swallow.
Before becoming US president, many African strongmen such as Paul Kagame (Rwanda), Yoweri Museveni (Uganda) Meles Zenawi (Ethiopia) and Teodoro Obiang Ngwema (Equatorial Guinea) were darlings of the US, thanks to enhancing the exploitation of Africa’s resources. Things seem to have taken a new turn with Obama’s promise of change. His “Yes We Can” slogan seems to have started working. Yes, Africa can be a good and prosperous place without thieving dictators at the helm. Yes, we can kick dictators out of Africa’s political landscape.
“No country is going to create wealth if its leaders exploit the economy to enrich themselves, or police can be bought off by drug traffickers”, Obama says. He speaks as if he lives in our streets where the police force protect and promote crime. He speaks as if he lives in our state houses where thieves-in-chief steal public money.
Tanzania, my own country, is the fifth giant when it comes to mineral abundance but interestingly, the country is fifth on the tail as far as poverty worldwide is concerned. Small countries with fewer resources like Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda outshine Tanzania.
“Development depends upon good governance. That is the ingredient which has been missing in far too many places, for far too long. That is the change that can unlock Africa’s potential”, Obama adds. Many African mumbo jumbos cannot like this. It is like carpet-bombing them. They have always preached rule of law and good governance even when they govern tyrannically.
Telling African chronic thieves to stop stealing by their volition is as good as telling the monkey to stop stealing maize. What needs to be done is to categorize crimes involving rulers and their cronies stealing from public coffers as crime against humanity. Most Africans lose their lives to corruption than wars. Genocide in Rwanda claimed over 800,000 lives. In Darfur, it has claimed over 200,000. Malaria that is curable, shall our rulers stop stealing from the public, is killing many more people than all genocides put together.
An April 2009 report by the World Health Organization (WHO) says that malaria is responsible for 30% of childhood mortality and 11% maternal mortality in Nigeria. In Zambia, the figure stands at 66%. Malaria kills more than a million people worldwide each year—90 percent of them in Africa; 70 percent being children under the age of five.
Being the 12th producer of oil on earth, one would think Nigeria’s economy and people would look like it. Alas! Its rulers and their whiz kids are super rich whilst the hoi polloi live in abject poverty. What’s this if it is not crime against humanity?
The president of America is the most powerful and influential person on earth currently. So too, is his non-bendable writ, if he stands for it. We saw it in Iraq despite all blunders. Obama’s regime brought Swiss banks and others to their knees thanks to sheathing tax evaders and thieves in power. Soon they’ll be duty-bound to open their books. The time of criminal secrecy is over, thanks to Obama’s new take on them. Suppose Obama stands for making theft of public moneys by rulers a crime against humanity? Truly, this will add up. The ICC should be vested with powers to indict anybody that commits this crime. This way, Africa will forge ahead. Her resources will benefit citizens suffering in the hands of its all time thieving regimes.
Many analysts, nonetheless, blamed Obama for not coming to Africa with money or promises of dishing money out. Giving money knowing it’ll be embezzled has nary become a solution to our problems, but a problem in itself. Obama’s new approach is a reminder that Mr. Moneybag America is no more. Why did Asian tigers manage to blast off from poverty whilst Africa is still sinking even more? Good-and-responsible governance is the only vehicle behind.
To jump-start Africa’s economy, among others, rule of law and good governance based on accountability and democracy must be emphasized. African people are ready to bring their development. The only barrier they encounter is nothing but corrupt and irresponsible regimes supported by west.
Africans have fed thieving and begging corrupt regimes for long. Transparency International says: “The combination of abundant natural resources, a history of autocratic and unaccountable government, as well as conflict and crisis throughout the continent have posed particular challenges to governance and the fight against corruption in Africa to the point that several countries have become virtually synonymous with graft.”
TI adds that the development challenges faced by sub-Saharan Africa are enormous. It is the only region of the world where poverty has increased in the past 25 years and half of the continent’s population of 840 million people lives on less than 1 USD per day. Thirty-two of the world’s 38 highly indebted poor countries (HIPC) are in Africa. In addition to corruption, protracted armed conflict, the HIV/AIDS pandemic and declining terms of trade for non-mineral primary products continue to exacerbate the many challenges facing the region.
To know how perilous the situation is in Africa, think of Sani Abachas $550 million fortune. Remember other thieves such as Mobutu Seseseko, Felix Houphet Boigny, Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel arap Moi, Fredrick Chiluba, Jean Bedel Bokassa, Denis Sassou Ngweso, Teodor Obiang Ngwema, Omar Bongo, Charles Taylor and others. How much did they rob from their countries?
Some analysts agree that the amount of money robbed by ruling thieves in Africa is even bigger than all foreign aids put together. Recently I hollered about current scandals in Tanzania alleged to have been perpetrated by the current and former regimes. Over $1,000,000,000 is believe to have been stolen by Tanzania’s rulers. To get away with it, they instituted fake charges against a few sacrificial officers so as to win people’s confidence. Recently, Prof. Ibrahim Lipumba, the CUF chair, linked president Jakaya Kikwete with External Payment arrears account that sank over $200,000,000 and Richmond scams. The president did not comment on or deny these damning accusations.
Many African rulers, apart stealing and stashing money abroad, steal in order to bribe voters and buy loyalty from military and other influential figures. So to fell this malady democratic institutions, especially the opposition, must be fully supported without forgetting financing civil education to the general public. This way, we’ll be able to break the back of graft.
Astonishingly, Tanzania’s pro-government media still have the guts of reporting that Obama praised Kikwete for taking on graft whilst he is himself the custodian of it! Sadly, even the American embassy in Dar es salaam does not repudiate such naked lies that show Obama as a double standard person or ignorant! What arrogant and corrupt pro-media is doing in Tanzania is telling their readership lies. In Africa, Obama only praised praised Ghana.
Africa needs strong institutions manned and headed by people of probity, responsible and accountable to the people. To enhance this, Africa’s constitutions need to be amended or re-enacted. The current ones shamelessly and expressly provide for much discretionary power that strongmen use to rob the hoi polloi. Almost all African potentates and their families are above the law.
Something needs to be done urgently to do away with this anathema. Those that have already ruined their countries should be held accountable. Truly Africa does not need strongmen but strong institutions.

Africa requires more than just building institutions.
The character and mind of African people need changing.
Selfishness,individualism, tribalism and a lack of serious committment, trust, respect and acceptance of the nation state are serious roadblocks Africans must confront and work out before institutions can be created and implemented.
