Isn't it sad, really, how the majority of blacks in this country simply refuse to listen to those voices of reason that continue to originate from within their own community. And the reason that I say that is because yet another voice, that of Martin Luther King's niece, Alveda King, has said that black voters would have learned from Mitt Romney's Tuesday night debate performance, but only if they were listening. "If African-Americans were listening very closely then that should have given [them] another indicator that we're already doing pretty badly —and four more years under this is not going to help us anymore," explained Ms. King.
Undeterred by what appears to be Barry's rather overwhelming lead among black voters, Ms. King said that those who truly listened to the two men during last night's debate may have been swayed to Romney's side. "There will be more who would say, 'No, I need to re-examine this thing. I'm not so sure I want to just vote for President Obama again.'" she explained, noting that Barry acquitted himself better than in the first debate when he "totally tanked" but that he didn't carry the night either. It's a fact that blacks, as a whole, are worse off today that they were before Barry took office, but is that incentive enough for them to vote for Romney?
"When President Obama was really hit hard with some hard questions, he never really answered. He dodged a lot of answers," she said. King, whose family home in Birmingham, Ala., was bombed as was her father's church office in Louisville, Ky. during the civil rights struggle, said that African-Americans have been hard hit by the economy and that the president hasn't delivered much needed jobs to the black community. And she's is quite right, and yet Barry still seems to think that blacks are somehow beholden to vote for him. She pointed to an exchange over funding for Planned Parenthood in particular in making her point.
"Even if the money that is given to Planned Parenthood was cut and put into finding jobs for people, then exactly what President Obama needs to do is to cut Planned Parenthood," she said. "He's not ready to do that because black people need jobs. Black people don't need abortions." King added that Planned Parenthood funds the "lion's share of abortions in America, getting $1 million a day from tax dollars and some other bonuses through President Obama's administration." And she's right. And yet it's voices like hers continue to get drowned out by all of the idiotic and hate filled static from those who are racists.
Such is one more voice that it would behoove blacks to listen to. But, for whatever reason, black continue to, instead, listen to the shrill, hate filled rhetoric most often heard from the likes of Al "Bull Horn" Sharpton, Jesse 'The Extortionist' Jackson, and Louis 'Calypso Louie' Farrakhan. Reasonable men all, right? NOT! All long as blacks continue to allow themselves to be cast as society's victim by the afore mentioned clown, they can expect to make very little, if any, forward progress. They have to want to change if the they want to reduce the number of blacks in prison and to reconstruct the black family. And they would be doing themselves a huge favor by listening to Ms. King and others like her.
