Cornel West Teams With Boyce Watkins

BENEATH THE SPIN * ERIC L. WATTREE
Cornel West Teams With Boyce Watkins
.
Here’s what makes these poverty pimps like Tavis Smiley, Cornel West, Boyce Watkins so insidious. They network and travel in packs like jackals. Now we see West teaming up with Boyce Watkins. He’s a little slicker than Tavis Smiley. He's well practiced in trying to appear objective and even handed, but he's a Tavis Smiley wannabe. I don’t know what party he’s registered in, but Boyce Watkins is a conservative. He owns several online sites where he hides his identity and spews conservative-leaning propaganda against President Obama.
.
One site that he seems to be particularly fond of is "Black Blue Dog.com." A Blue Dog Democrat is a person who’s registered as a Democrat, but votes Republican. The logo on Black Blue Dog.com says it all - "The Black People that Liberals Don’t Want to Talk About."
.
While there's nothing wrong with his being a conservative, nor criticizing President Obama, Boyce Watkins should, at the very least, let people know where he's coming from so they'll have the necessary information to place his comments into perspective. Watkins is also like Tavis Smiley in that he generates his own controversy, and then cover it like it's a news story. Check out the following:
.
Is this a news story or an undercover commercial?
.
Dr Cornel West: America has become Morally Obscene
http://blacklikemoi.com/2014/05/dr-cornel-west-america-become-morally-obscene/
.
Pay particular attention to the last paragraph:
.
"We hope you’ll spend the few dollars it takes to give your family a wealth of knowledge that will last them for generations. You can make a purchase here." 
.
The link leads directly to Boyce Watkins’ bank account. It's the identical method of operation as Tavis Smiley and Cornel West. There's an election coming up, so they put out this book, and then generate controversy and cover it like a news story during the election season.  In the case of Tavis and West, did you notice that after the election and the initial interest in the book cooled, the "Poverty Tour" also came to an abrupt end as well?
.
Washington, D.C. trial attorney, former prosecutor, and member of the Supreme Court bar, Debbie Hines, points out the following:
.
"Apparently, Tavis Smiley fails to see the hypocrisy in taking money from Walmart as a sponsor of the Tavis Smiley show while allegedly supporting and crusading for poor people. According to the Nation, ‘Walmart is one of the biggest recipients of government subsidies, receiving tax breaks, free land, cash grants and other forms of public assistance, in addition to paying some of its workers so little that they also turn to the federal government for programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).’
.
"Meanwhile Walmart’s response to the Thanksgiving protest was not to meet and discuss the workers’ concerns. Instead, acting like the corporate giant ruling over its workers, in response, Walmart has filed a National Labor Relations Board charge alleging that the pickets are illegal and asking for a judge to shut them down, while simultaneously claiming the strike involves only a ‘handful of associates, at a handful of stores scattered across the country that are participating in these…made for-TV events."’
.
Also of note is it seems the Cornel West has jilted Tavis Smiley for Boyce Watkins. West has left the radio show that he and Tavis co-hosted, and he didn’t even show up or extend a public congratulations after Tavis bought himself that $30,000 star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - and that’s not like West, who’s renown for being willing to sell a kidney for a sound byte. Now he shows up here with Boyce Watkins, another hustler.
.
I’m very curious about that Did. Tavis and West used to be attached at the hip like they were one body with two heads, but now it seems like West has seriously distanced himself from him. Did Cornel finally see the light, or did he just abandon ship because he didn’t want to go down with the Titavis? If the former is true, and West has finally found out what Tavis is about, if he really love his people like he claims, doesn’t he have a responsibility to tell us what he’s learned? After all, he bad-mouths everybody else.
.
And finally, here’s something we should keep in mind, and I’ve repeatedly shown in several articles with respect to these poverty pimps:
.
In his article, "My Republican Party has Abandoned Me," Black Republican activist, Raynard Jackson, says the following:
.
"For many years, I have approached the party and its supporters about underwriting programs to bring together Blacks who are Republican or lean Republican so we can weave them into every facet of the party structure. The answer is always, no! But, twice this year some of these same people have approached me about funding for some election year tricks that they (White Republicans) have conjured up and simply need a Black face to execute the plan. On these two separate occasions, these funders were willing to spend upwards of $20 million to have me organize a national campaign to identify Blacks who would be critical of President Obama."
.
Enough said? When we hear Black people who weren't saying a word under the gross corruption of Bush and Cheney, but now, all of a sudden under Obama, they just can't hold back their disgust, we need to keep Raynard Jackson's statement in mind. Twenty million dollars is a lot of money, but it's a drop in the bucket to the Koch Brothers, or Wal-Mart.

The GOP: Ronald MacDonald in a Three-piece Suite

Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree
The GOP: Ronald MacDonald in a Three-piece Suite
.
.
The GOP is doomed to defeat in the current political debate against Barack Obama, because they can’t compete with truth. It’s not Obama that they’re debating – it’s truth that they’re finding it impossible to compete with. President Obama has truth on his side, so loopholes, rhetorical devices, and message management are not needed to defeat the GOP's simplistic attempt at logic. Truth doesn’t require rhetorical devices, messaging, and technique. Truth stands invincible on it’s own accord, because truth is simply truth.
.
Obama has obviously long since recognized that fact, so he makes every effort to follow truth wherever it leads and regardless to whose ox it gores; that’s why he has critics of every political persuasion. Thus, the difference between Obama and the GOP - other than the obvious, IQ points - is that he gives truth priority over ideology, where the GOP tries to reconfigure truth to fit their preconceived, custom-tailored, and carefully assigned delusions. That’s why they sound so ridiculous most of the time. That's also why they’re messaging is only persuading morons to support their point of view. Essentially, the GOP is trying to put Ronald MacDonald in a three-piece suit and pass him off as an statesman. That’ll never work, regardless to how many distortions they engage in.

Black People, Beware of the "Un-Niggas"

Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree
Black People, Beware of the "Un-Niggas"
.

You Think Zimmerman is Guilty Because
You Don't See The World Through the Blood of Jesus.
.
Alan Keyes
No one can deny that racism is holding the Black community down - but it’s not just White racism, it’s also the racist attitudes that some Black people have against other Black people. I’ve said this many times before, but I’m going to say it again. Black people are the product of the very same racist environment as White people, so many of the weaker-minded among us are just as racist towards other Black people as any sheet-wearing Hillbilly. I call it "bligotry" - Black-on-Black bigotry.
.
As a direct result of Bligotry, we refuse to patronize one another’s business efforts, and many Black business owners try to get rich on one sell when more enlightened Black people even try to patronize them. As a result, we can’t come together to get a financial foothold in society. So we’re not going to be able to address the issue of Black upward mobility until we begin to see bligotry for what it really is. And no, bligotry it’s not self-hatred, as many people suggest, because in order to be a self-hating Black person, you have to recognize your Blackness.
.
Allen West
People who suffer from bligotry don’t hate themselves at all, and neither do they, necessarily, hate other Black people. They simply look upon Black people with disdain, and they think that we're beneath them as individuals. You’ll often hear them say among themselves things like, "You know how niggas are" - meaning, "those others."
.
That’s why such people think they’re qualified to tell the Black community what to think. They've convinced themselves that they're an intellectual aberration that an accident of birth caused to be born with Black skin. They know they’re Black, and they love the idea of having "soul" and "rhythm." They also like being able to lay-claim to people like Ray Charles, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane - but they tend to believe there’s a distinct genetic difference between themselves and those "ignit niggas."
.
Boyce Watkins
They think they’re what Black people were intended to be, but the average Black person is some sort of inferior genetic mutation. That explains why generally the first thing that comes out of the mouths of people like Allen West, Larry Elder, Clarence Thomas, Alan Keyes, or a Ben Carson, is an attack on Black people, generally using President Obama as their Black "poster boy." But let there be no doubt about it, when they attack Barack Obama, they’re just using the president as a symbol to attack us all.
.
That’s why they have such unfathomable political views, because they’re politics consist of two issues - first, self-service, and secondly, to declare to the world that "I’m different from those other Black people that you don’t like; and I don’t blame you for not liking ‘em, because I don’t like ‘em either." That’s the extent of their political views.
.
Cornel West - Tavis Smiley
But not all Un-niggas are conservative. Some go to the other extreme. People like Tavis Smiley, Cornel West, and Boyce Watkins fall into this group. While they too play into conservatives’ hands, they take a different tact. They embrace what I call the "Moses Syndrome." These Un-niggas believe that Black people are so stupid that we need them to lead us. But since their primary agenda is exactly the same as the conservative un-nigga - self-service, and to prove to the world that they are more "special" than the average Black person - the minute the Black community’s interest is in conflict with their own, Black people can just stand by to have their throats cut. That explains why one minute Cornel West can be in front of a crowd spewing the most militant Black rhetoric, and the next minute can be sitting on a television panel with the reincarnation of Adolph Hitler, and refer to him as "my dear brother Adolph."
.
The reason for that is, his primary agenda is not to move the Black community forward. His primary agenda is to be seen, and to gain public admiration and approval. That also explains why in spite of all of his rhetoric with respect to his love for Black people, and in spite of how dire the need for quality educators in the Black community, West has never taught in a Black setting in his entire career. The fact is, it’s personally inconvenient for him. It’s one of those cases where the Black community’s needs are in conflict with his own, so we lose.
.
West gains more personal wealth and fame at Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, teaching the sons and daughters of the people that he’s constantly telling us is the enemy. So the only time you’ll see Cornel West at a predominantly Black institution is if they pay him $30,000 to do a one-hour drive-by.
.
Thus, the Un-niggas don’t see the Black community as one people. They’re segregationists. They divide our community into two segments - sophisticated and intelligent Black people "like themselves" (generally including all light-
skinned Black people and ALL beautiful sisters, whether intelligent or not), and those other niggas who are holding them down. So they feel they have every right to use and victimize "those others" to advance themselves to their "rightful" place in society - thus, Tavis Smiley and the Wells Fargo "Ghetto Loan" scam. And unfortunately, far too many Black preachers are among the Un-niggas.
.
Herman Cain described their attitude best when he said, "I'm a brother from another mother." They tend to think they're cut from a different clothe than other Black people, and are therefore, superior. That's why many such people hate President Obama so passionately, because his very presence is a pie in the face of their delusions of grandeur. Their attitude is, "How in the Hell did that nigga get to the White House over me?" And if you listen closely to what they’re actually saying, the message is, "Aw, Obama ain’t all that; he’s just another nigga like you - I’m the one you should be lookin’ up to - I’m the true Un-nigga."
.
It’s this kind of attitude by some Black people that’s holding us down. They cause division and strife within the Black community.
