Black Caucus tells Obama you've done too little for African Americans

Black Caucus tells Obama you
Posted By: Steven Muhammad on December 03, 2009

Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) members on Wednesday criticized the Obama administration for not doing enough to help African-Americans through the bleak economy.

Soon after withholding their votes on a wide-ranging financial services bill, 10 CBC members said they are pressuring the White House to do more.

On top of sending 30,000 more Poor and Middle Class Americans to die for the corporate elite and Zionist forces that control the American Government, Pres. Obama and his administration continue their neglect of the "Lest of These.'

Even in the face of double digit unemployment the Black community of American continues to be last on the Obama agenda.

What must be done? Unity is the Key. Any Black that talks against unity, regardless of out many differences, is a traitor to his or her people. That includes dogmatic Christians, radical Muslims, (Black) Republicans and Democrats - If what you believe in keeps you form Common Unity, you should drop that belief immediately.

[Obama’s genius was he was able to see that America might elect a president who happened to be black, and presented himself that way... Politically, we need to build coalitions with whites and others to be successful. ]

Brother Clark you hit the nail on the head in what you have said, because that's all some folk are looking for President Obama to do is initiate on behalf of African Americans so they can accuse him of being a 'President to African Americans' and not to everyone. I applaud the CBC for initiating change on behalf of the African American community, but change will not come unless we all unify as Brother Steve has indicated as well as you also have stated Brother Clark; we have to be willing to unify and build coalitions with other ethnic groups and not just folk like ourselves especially since we don't have the numbers alone that could elect someone to the Presidency.

Obama didn't run as a person that happened to be black he ran as an American. In the American heirarchy unfortunately Black Americans come last even behind Obama's lineage of African child born in America but of Black American origin.


Most of you are wrong Black American unemployment been in the double digits even before the recession.

Obama ran as a Democrat. Why is that?

Democrat, American, African American what ever President Obama ran as the bottom line is Black America is STILL at the bottom. As Min. Farrakhan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38I55mZuSOY) pointed out when Obama was running for President, that there are forces in (out outside) of government that really call the shots and dictate to the President what to do.

I'm not calling Pres. Obama a puppet, however, he who controlls the purse strings calls the shots, and as well all know it's not the American people nor is it the Democratic or Republican parties. American has been taken over by Special Interest Groups, Corporate Interest Groups and Zionist forces that care NOTHING about the American people (that includes poor and middle class whites).

We, the Black community have a serious problem. It is called FEAR, Inferiority complex which translates into a lack of Faith in our own ablity to DO FOR SELF and create a bright future for our babies and children. This was the difficulty Moses (Musa) had with the Children of Isreal (. God (Allah) had something better for them than the life they were living under Pharaoh but they feared doing something for self more than the genocidal plan of Pharaoh, which was to kill the mail and spare the female - sound familar.

Knowledge of self leads to Love for self. Brothers and sisters lets begin to practice that love, because you CAN NOT love your neighbor (the white man) until you love yourself first. Let follow the example of the Chinese in American, right now you can go to New York and think you are in China because the Chinese have taken over a section of New York that is litteraly called Chinatown, there is also Little Italy, Little Havana and so on. But when you think of were Black people live you call it the ghetto because there is no love and respect or a lack of love and respect.

Every Sunday the preaches, minister, bishops should preach love for self and doing for self anything else is smoke in the wind.

Hello Mr. Steven Muhammad

You said this, “What must be done? Unity is the Key. Any Black that talks against unity, regardless of out many differences, is a traitor to his or her people. That includes dogmatic Christians, radical Muslims, (Black) Republicans and Democrats - If what you believe in keeps you form Common Unity, you should drop that belief immediately. We, the Black community have a serious problem. It is called FEAR, Inferiority complex which translates into a lack of Faith…”

Well, have not I been saying this all along? However, unity with out a cause to unify will be ineffective. The cause to unify is the desire to become a sovereign people or have complete independence on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders.

Mr. Steven our problems are divine, only a person anointed by God could bring Black Americans into sovereignty. Moses was anointed by God. He led the Exodus for the children of Israel no one else could have done it.

Not anyone bring about sovereignty for Black Americans. Only the one anointed by God does God use to bring about changes. I can do on anointed one. It is obvious that we need more than ourselves to even bring about unity, am I right. We have been at crying unity for over 500 years. Mr. Elijah Muhammad could not do it because he was not anointed. He claimed the way was through Islam and being a Muslim. Islam and Muslims is an Arabian thing. Black Americans are not Arabian people. I am Black America’s first genuine prophet. We will not claim to be anything but just what we are, Black Americans who are descendents of slaves. We are a new breed or race of people that has emerged out of the ashes of slavery. Everything that we get will come from God and it will be new, even our religion. Am I making any sense with you? I am the way, and besides me, there is no other way that Black Americans ever could become real people in this world. Everything that I have said is going to happen.

Mr. Farrakhan neither promotes nor advocates sovereignty or complete independence for Black Americans on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders.

Sovereignty or complete independence is our only permanent solution and the Congressional Black Caucus does not see this solution yet. They believe our solution is tied up in White America as Dr. King once thought.

Black Americans are going to inherit a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders and again, sovereignty is our only permanent solution.

Tell me what you think.

Hello Ms. Siebra Muhammad,

You said this, “Brother Steven, EXCELLENT COMMENT!!!”

Well, if you believe that Mr. Steven Muhammad’s post was excellent then you should find my response to him out of this world.

Again, our only permanent solution is to desire to become a sovereign people or have complete independence on a portion of this continent. I wish that you all would stop talking this community nonsense and substitute community for country.

Our permanent solution of sovereignty is greater than unity, since unity is within sovereignty. In other words, sovereignty is greater than unity. Once you are sovereign, you do not have to worry about unity. Do you get the picture? Sovereignty is greater than unity.

Our permanent solution is not within anything of White Americans’. Likewise, Moses permanent solution was not within anything of Pharaoh’s. Do you get the picture?

Lastly, Mr. Farrakhan neither promotes nor advocates the sovereignty or complete independence of Black Americans. Mr. Farrakhan as well as all Black Americans is going to come around to what I am saying. I am the anointed one.

You all so called Black Muslims are wasting your time and money with Mr. Farrakhan.

Tell me what you think

Hello Mr. Clark,

You said this, “It would be political suicide because right now, if every last eligible black person voted (and wouldn’t that be something?), that would still not be enough to put a black person in the white house. We just do not have the numbers. Politically, we need to build coalitions with whites and others to be successful.
This is why Obama has been reluctant to step out in the way that the Black Caucus wants him to. He has yet to figure out how to thread that needle, and maybe Obama is simply a forerunner in that regard and does not represent the final mold; it may take another iteration (or more) of a successful black politician in the white house in order to figure out how best to do that politically.”

Could you not see for yourself that based on what you said above, Black America’s solution is not within anything of White America’s? Could you not surmise, again based upon what you have said that Black America’s permanent solution lies outside of anything of White America’s? Have I not been saying all along that Black America’s only permanent solution is to desire to become a sovereign people?

Mr. Frederick Douglass over a hundred years ago felt that politically, Black Americans needs to build a coalition with Whites. Mr. Maxwell, have you not seen any light by now that what you are saying is obsolete? Black Americans needs to brave the natural obstacles that nature hurls at every sovereign people. The concept is the same as a person lifting weights to build muscles. Black Americans must brave natural obstacles and White America is not a natural obstacle, White America is an impediment to black Americans. Black American needs to feel what it is like to make decisions for ourselves. Black Americans needs to have our hands on the helm of our own destiny. Do you understand what I am saying?

Are you still living in the times of Mr. Frederick Douglass? This is the 2009 and many things have happened since Mr. Frederick Douglass days. Mr. Marcus Garvey, Dr. King, Mr. Elijah Muhammad, riots and countless legislation has past and still Black Americans are a subjugated people today. What is wrong with you all intelligence? Do think that you could have the same ideas of Mr. Frederick Douglass did and get a different result? Would you not say that is being crazy?

I will say again, our only permanent solution is to desire to become a sovereign people on a portion of this continent. Again, Black Americans are going to inherit a portion of this continent.

Everything that I have been saying is going to happen. None of you has been able to say that I am wrong or what I am saying does not make sense. All of you desire to have what I am saying except that you all think it is impossible, am I right.

Therefore, forget about President Obama and seriously think about the things I have been saying all along.

Tell me what you think.

Hello Jen,

You said this, “I applaud the CBC for initiating change on behalf of the African American community, but change will not come unless we all unify as Brother Steve has indicated as well as you also have stated Brother Clark; we have to be willing to unify and build coalitions with other ethnic groups and not just folk like ourselves especially since we don't have the numbers alone that could elect someone to the Presidency.”

Jen I wish you stop looking at us as African Americans. We are Black Americans who are descendents of slaves. An African-American is of African origin, either born an African or born of African parentage and lives in the United States as an American citizen. On the other hand, a Black American is automatically an American citizen, as the Nigerian community in Houston, Texas. Those people are African-Americans. Consequentially, a Black American is a new breed or race of people born out of the ashes of slavery. Black Americans are a different people.

Secondly, I wish you stop putting Black Americans or us in a community setting. I want you to put us or see us on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders. When you think big, you receive big when you think small you receive small. A community is smaller than a country. Do you get the picture?

Thirdly, our desire to be sovereign is bigger than unity is. When you decided to be sovereign, unity automatically takes place. Therefore, want sovereignty over unity. Sovereignty means that we have a country. Unity does not mean the same.

Tell me what you think.

Hello Mr. Washington,

You said this, “Most of you are wrong Black American unemployment been in the double digits even before the recession.”

Mr. Washington, forget about double digit unemployment. Black Americans has been in a recession ever since slavery.

Pay attention to the things I say. I said that our only permanent solution is to desire sovereignty or complete independence on the portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders.

I am Black America’s first genuine prophet and this should tell you that our time has come.

Do we you want Black Americans to be sovereign or have complete independence?

Tell me what you think

Hello Clark,

I understand the points that you are making. I am simply saying that, do you not think it is a waste of your brain energy spent on White America’s system of government while at the same time neglecting to come together on the sovereignty or complete independence of Black Americans on a portion of this continent.

You know that all great things begin from a single step.

Every day for the past 500 years Black Americans heads has been wrapped around White America, am I right.

Do you believe it is possible that you all could let White America go and pick up a dialog strictly about us, Black Americans concerning our sovereignty or complete independence on a portion of this continent?

Do you believe such a dialogue is worthwhile? Do you believe you as well as the others have enough intelligence to pioneer through these uncharted waters? Black America’s sovereignty or complete independence is uncharted waters, am I right.

Tell me what you think.
