Obama: Constitution stained by 'sin of slavery'
Posted by: jjpv | May 18, 2008 at 07:17 PM (Unhappy Blogger) Wrote the truth about some “Black Men” and than get “MAD” at Drevelyn Minor for “Agreeing” with his/her “Comments” ~~~~~~~` "They wrote" ~~~"This election season has shown the weakness of the black man. It has exposed to the world what is wrong with the black race – the black men are completely lost when it comes to unity and productive use of their minds to solve their own problems. ~~~~~~~~ Most black men do not care about their communities; they only care about their pocket books and the god between their legs. ~~~~~~ Hence they will say and do anything to satisfy their ego so long as what they do leads to their pockets and between their legs. This is why the blacks of the world are the laughing stocks of the world. This is why black Africans have so much resources, but suffer so much pains and anguish. This is why every other ethnic group has left the ghettos while we love to breed in the ghettos. ~~~~~~~~ This is why Hillary is better than Obama in our eyes even though he is more qualified than 20 Hillary’s put together. ~~~~~~~~~ The black man is a disgrace to himself and to his God. He is cursed to suffer and to die in his own self-created ignorance and wickedness. He will preach the scriptures to you while he is sleeping with his own daughters and sons. He will dwell on talking about God while he knows nothing about love and caring. He is lost for good!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Posted by: Drevelyn Minor | May 18, 2008 at 08:09 PM (Drevelyn Minor wrote) Just Beautiful - well done!

New Leader Is Youngest In NAACP History
“JUDAS STRIKES AGAIN!” ~~ NAACP President Julian Bond and his (So-Called Black Brothers Wearing Panty Hoses in the Night Times) uses “Operation PoliTRICK” to seat a young men that they can simply control. Judas Bond, Judas is still running the NAACP. These old panty hose wearing black men do not wish for “CHANGE!” Nothing will improve for Our Nation’s Citizens and Our Communities! Pastor Frederick Haynes III, is Brilliant, Knowledgeable, Respected in All Communities, Walk with Wisdom, A True Role Model for Our Young Men, He Respects Our Elders (The Civil Rights Leaders) and their work in the 60’s and recognize much work is still needed today to feed our nation’s hungry children that are homeless and come from low income homes. ~~ Oh, I believe Pastor Haynes do not support NAACP President J Bonds candidate “HILLARY CLINTON” that was a “Major Problem” in selecting Pastor Haynes. As a Christian, Pastor Frederick Haynes III will always serve God regardless of cost. Judas is alive and working his “PoliTRICK!” Shameful! Shameful! NAACP is a “JOKE” today and another avenue for $$$$$$ for the NAACP President Julian Bond and his (So-Called Black Brothers Wearing Panty Hose in the Night Times) Change is coming Mr. Judas!

Ms. Ann you asked, "Where was he when Sen. Clinton asked him to debate. He ran away with his tail between his legs. He's running for WHAT??? ~~~~~ Enough debates! ~~~Senator Obama was and is focusing on the “Problems of Americans and American Democrats” that need to keep their focus on McCain and the Republicans Party they are moving on: Let's face it, this is an once-in-a-lifetime election and it's time to start focusing on the Republicans. And while the spotlight is firmly fixed on the fighting around the Democratic primary, John McCain is set to go into the general election with a serious advantage. Right now he's building up his team—meaning there's a good chance he'll run up a big lead before our team even gets on the field. ~~~~ Senator Obama was at the right place doing the right thing!

Some African Americans need to change their minds with the times we live in today. ~~~~~ NAACP President J. Bond candidate of choice Mr. Jealous can not learn anything of "Great Value" from most of these elders. ~~~~~~~~ It would be great to pass the torch to our younger generation however, but can you see the touch is not burning. The fire has not burned for many years! ~~~~~~~ Now, you believe that this young man can, “Clean Up the Mess” that some of the current elders choose or has not been capable of during themselves. What in the world do you believe they can teach this young man? ~~~~~~~ This organization is no place for a 35 year old young man that does not have the “Back of a John Henry.” It is just not enough to be as one blogger wrote, “She, like the fact that he is young, successful and understands the historical significance of the organization. ~~~~~~~~ The NAACP foundation is weak and to large of an organization to pass on to such a young person. How can they mentor any young person under the current leadership? Please! ~~~~~~~~ At most, all they can pass on is how to be corrupt and become a slave! ~~~~~~ The NAACP President, J. Bond and his greedy African Americans slave-mined brothers and sisters or clearly slaves of Hillary and Bill Clinton. ~~~~~~~ These shameful people, receive only tidbits from the Clintons just enough to feed their families. Receiving crumbs from the table of the master.~~~~~~ “Hillary’s Slaves” ~~~~Remember the movie, “The Alamo" in which Davy Crockett's slave (NAACP President J. Bond) jumps in front of his slave owner (Hillary Clinton) to take a bullet, dying for his master who gets killed a short time later anyway because they were overwhelmingly overpowered. I always thought of the image of the slave sacrificing his life for the one who held him in bondage as a slave owner's dream. ~~~~~~~~ NAACP ACCOMPLISHMENTS; under the leadership of J. Bond and some of his colleagues are “Zero.” ~~~~~~ It’ is clear to me there’s, “Nothing to Pass on and the Fire is Out on the Torch!” ~~~~~~ God Help Us All! ~~~~~~~ Obama for President!
