Herman Cain Vs. the self hating negro

I have turned my TV watching almost exclusively to Fox channels during this most recent Herman Cain saga.

Everytime I tune onto a non-Fox channel and see a Black participant, I mentally bet my mortgage payment he/she is a self hating negro placed on the panel to tear down Mr. Cain and I am not usually wrong. Malcolm X called them “House negroes“.

It has been my experience white people do not like Blacks or even negroes dissing other Blacks or negroes saying things they think whites want to hear. Whites lose all respect for that individual and they therefore become an object of amusement; just another self-hating negro ornament whom they can call upon to tear down another Black trying to make a meaningful contribution to our society, Re. Herman Cain.

This evening, I witnessed another respectful Neil Cavuto interview with Mr. Cain on the Fox channel. I also watched shows called “The Five” and “Red Eye” and all of the time dialog amongst the panel members regarding Mr. Cain was decent and respectful of his humanity.

I might add those democratic negroes so disdainful of Mr. Cain are the same negroes who did not like Obama from the beginning of his candidacy for President to the present time. Most of them said, “He’s not Black enough!” or some other such nonsense. There is a pattern they have created for themselves I think they should look at with elevated mental health concerns.

Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. Dick Morris was right saying Mr. Cain answers questions as a businessman would answer them and not as a politician.

On bailing out student loans

If I were to let my imagination take flight, I would imagine recent college graduates as *diamonds in the rough draped with cloaks that are cold, wet and heavy.

When I went to Howard University late 50's to early 60's, tuition was $35.00 a credit hour and a 3 hour course cost my parents an average of $155.00. We students would “WOW!” and shift in our seats when the professors hastened to tell us tuition at American University, also located in Washington, D.C., was a whopping $50.00 a credit hour. Many of us got the message.

Most of us students graduated, got a job in our field and immediately started to let our little diamonds begin to shine in our communities as meaningful citizens.

If we moved into an apartment, rent was $100.00 a month for a two bedroom and our only other bill was perhaps paying for a $3000.00 brand new car. There were no computers to purchase and maintain or monthly cell phones or cable bills to pay. My personal salary as a school teacher was $3,200.00 for a 10 month year.

In my opinion, the average college graduate of today graduates with a huge debt owed to his college; a ball and chain if you will, with one on each leg. He can not move forward due to the burdens of his college debts that is predicted may out live him and he will more than likely be a grey haired grandparent before it is paid off.

I saw a documentary wherein a college student died in an accident leaving behind an $81,000.00 educational loan his parents had to pay because they co-signed the loan. And there was the young married couple who have to re-pay $1,700.00 a month for the next twenty five years and bankruptcy laws will not take it away.

It is hard imagining any country moving forward with huge stock piles of diamonds in the rough doing nothing save spending precious time tugging to free themselves of their ball and chains. Once the students get a bail-out from their student loans, and I hope they do, and when they start doing their thing in various communities, and I know they will, I have no doubt other diamonds will self polish at the lower levels of our educational system. I have a dream.

As always,
BB

*Diamond in the rough
Someone… that has hidden exceptional characteristics and/or future potential, but currently lacks the final touches that would make them… truly stand out from the crowd.

Occupy Wall Street protesters irked by rising student debt in U.S.
by Marketplace Morning Report for Monday, October 3, 2011
Excerpt:
So the argument you hear is, "You've bailed out Wall Street, what about us?" Forgive student loans, you boost the economy because you put hundreds of dollars a month back in the pocket of middle-class families, and of young people just as they're entering the workforce.
