WE MUST SHOW UP If we ever needed to vote we sure do need to vote now. The right to vote is not just a constitutional matter but a right borne out of struggle, out of sacrifice and a gift from the God. 2600 years ago God had his prophet say to every nation you must do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly before your God. 2000 years ago he had his Son say that the least of these must be at the center of public policy. Think for a moment where we are now here today... 236 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, 176 years since Texas revolted because they wanted to keep their slaves, 163 years since Harriet Tubman escaped slavery, 149 years since the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, 147 years since the end of the Civil war, 118 years since the riots of Wilmington North Carolina to stop black political power, 108 years since the riots in Springfield Illinois, 68 years since Smith v. Allwright opened up primaries for black people, 68 years since Primus King was denied the right to vote in Georgia in a primary, 46 years after Barbara Jordan was the first African American to sit in the Texas Senate, 48 years since Fannie Lou Hamer said there comes a time when you get sick and tired of being sick and tired. 51 years since Dr. King said to the AFL CIO that the only voting platform that could transform America would be for blacks, poor whites and Latinos to learn how to work together, 49 years since the murder of Medgar Evers, 49 years since the March on Washington, 49 years since the bombing of four girls in a Birmingham church, 48 years since the signing of the Civil Rights Act, 47 years since Bloody Sunday, 47 years since the Voting Rights act, 47 years since Malcolm X was killed, 44 years since students at South Carolina State were massacred, 44 years since the assassination of Martin Luther King, 44 years since the signing of the Fair Housing Act, 43 years since conservatives dismantled the Office of Economic Opportunity, 43 years since my parents fought to integrate public schools, 3 years since Barack whose name means Praise the Lord was sworn in to be President of these United States. 1 year since Troy Davis was murdered by the state, 4 months and 11 days since the shooting of Trayvon Martin, 4 months since the secret documents revealed by the National Organization on Marriage that they started the same sex marriage fight not for moral reasons but to split the black and LGBT community in order to defeat President Obama. We have been through too much and seen too much and fought for too much. If we ever needed to vote.......we need to vote right now! Not only have we been through too much, there's still too much to fight for... 27.4% of African Americans in poverty. 12 million children red, yellow, black and white in poverty 27 million Americans unemployed, 14% of African Americans unemployed. 49 million Americans uninsured. 1 out of every 5 African Americans uninsured. 1 million African Americans incarcerated. Politicians can say "elect me and I'll take your healthcare" "elect me and I'll take your voting rights" "elect me and I'll take your social security" "elect me and I'll re=segregate your public schools" "elect me and I'll ignore your poverty" ….and still get votes! Here we are 22 million African Americans eligible to vote and yet 8 million didn't vote 1% of the population controls 42% of the wealth. 10% of the population controls 93% of the wealth. Banks get bailouts from loans with our money with no interest and the banks turn around and lend us our money back with interest. These are critical times and we need to vote now. I don't know if Republicans are going to show up. I don't know if Democrats are going to show up but the sons and daughters of slaves we better “the hell” show up! Our parents did more with less than we have today with less they beat slavery with less they beat Jim Crow with less they beat lynching with less they beat the KKK with less, Harriet Tubman got 500 slaves out of slavery she didn't have email she didn't have text Facebook……..she didn't have [???] We must do more with more so from now until November email everybody you know. Tell them to show up. Text everybody, tell them to show up. MySpace everybody, tell them to show up. Tell your friends on Facebook to show up. Call everybody you know and tell them to show up. When we do what we are supposed to do, God will show up. God will bless our efforts. He always has and He always will. When we work our faith, there are miracles and movements. Faith without works is destitute and devoid, but faith with works is dynamic and can change a destiny. Whenever we work our faith, God shows up. When Moses stretched out his rod, God showed up, the wind came down and the Red Sea opened up Pharaoh was brought down when they marched around Jericho, God showed up, walls fell down. When David threw the rock, God showed up, Goliath came down. When Daniel went in the lions' den, God showed up, the lions calmed down. When Esther went to see the King, God showed up and evil plans were turned around. When a woman touched the hem of his garment, God showed up blood disease slowed down. When a boy gave the lord fish and five loaves of bread, God showed up and a buffet came down When Jesus went to the cross God showed up, Satan's kingdom was torn down. Early Sunday morning resurrection happened and the angels had a holy ghost throw down. When Thurgood Marshall went to the Supreme Court and America's segregation was brought down. When Rosa Parks sat down, God showed up, Jim Crow had to step down. If we vote the tea party will be voted down. Every time we put our faith and our works together evil is shut down and God shows up! What's in your hands? Use what you got—God will give you what you need! If we ever needed to vote we need to vote right now!"and God will show up! We had an excellent voter turnout in November 2008, let's do it again! |

Black unemploy is 14% under Obama. Black poverty is now at a 40 year high under Obama. Should black people be happy voting for someone like that. If John McCain was the president and you had numbers like that would you be happy to vote him back into office? Edited by Black Republican, Oct 22 2012, 01:34 PM.

Go put your mouth around a fucking exhaust pipe and turn the car on. If you are struggling that's your fault. Take responsibility for your own coon-tastic fuck ups |

The clones are not masculine enough to engage in such aggressive behavior. All they can do is hide behind suspect statistics, ask loaded questions, and point their feces & saliva-crusted index fingers at others. |

But wait...you don't want Whites to do the same. So why apply hypocrisy demands, onto BR? I mean, unless you're not tired of watching your tax dollars go on White people's irresponsibilities, fucc ups, & corporate welfare? |

I don't think blacks should wait for whites to do the right thing first. If blacks were better organized, and voted with purpose, we could dictate the terms on how politicians approach us. We are a small, but powerful group. We just need to act like it. |

BR motive is anti black, he isn't talking about in general. So your whole white man shit is stale and recycled. My tax dollars goes to alot of bullshit. Blacks need to do for self, not wait on a liar in office Edited by Cray, Oct 22 2012, 01:58 PM.
