Being “Black in America”

http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=7469 #162.

Black people have a number of reasons to celebrate life in 21st century America. A president has been elected – receiving more than 96 percent of the national Black vote – that http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=5972 like them (although he doesn’t sound like the majority of Black people).

Black people have countless organizations that work to support and augment Black people in their pursuit of happiness, from the NAACP, the United Negro Fund, 100 Black Men, and well, this list here is dedicated to Black peoples’ advancement in the United States.

Since Pre-Obama America was repudiated in the 2008 election, Black people now exert control over the United States in ways unimaginable to their ancestors:”News Corp. is forming an external diversity council in response to pressure over a New York Post cartoon that critics said compared President Barack Obama to a dead chimpanzee.

“The cartoon appeared in February. News Corp. http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3447 Rupert Murdoch published an apology in the Post, but civil rights and community organizations demanded further action.

“NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said Wednesday that News Corp. had agreed to form a “diversity community council” that will meet semiannually with company executives.”

Black people will never be happy with just being the “diversity gatekeeper” over FOXnews, or even President of the United States. They want to be in charge, not just the United States Post Office, Department of Labor, NASA and the Surgeon General, Attorney General, etc., etc., of the United States (all of the those mentioned are run by Black people).

Until every Fortune 500 company CEO, every major Division 1(Football Championship Series) College Football program head coach, every NASCAR driver and every Academy Award winner is Black, then and only then will Black people stop being angry about being “Black in America”.

I’m sure you have heard of this CNN program, “Black in America”:

   “Black in America is a multi-part series of documentaries hosted by reporter Soledad O’Brien on CNN. The series is about various issues regarding African-Americans which includes panel discussions on issues facing the African-American community, and a look at the culture of African-American families, men and women.

“It featured exclusive commentary by music mogul Russell Simmons, Grammy Award-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco, comedian D.L. Hughley, award-winning filmmaker http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4933 Goldberg.”
