If you agree post feedback! If you disagree, post feedback or find a video with views you can agree with.</p> <p>Why not! I can't stand Juan Williams anymore. I guess I heard "Enough!"</p> <p>This is a take on his book Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and The Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America -- and What We Can Do about It!</p> <p>I had heard various responses from the Black community. I am here to give some opinion to my last video, Blacks vs. Niggas. This is in regards to the Black conservatives here viewing my videos.</p> <p>For some easier take on the issue. See the Chris Rock comedy skit in which he describes his take on Black People vs. Niggers. I encourage you to view it if this video is located on YouTube.</p> <p>What encourage Blacks to become conservative? Black conservatives encourage empowerment over entitlements. Black conservatives encourage leadership (and independence) over followings. Black conservatives encourages education, ownership, two parent households, deviating from destructive behavior, relying on God, and avoiding "being the victim"! These are great encouragements. But why do the Black conservatives find it hard to get an audience with their beliefs.</p> <p>Now in regards about Black conservatives! I think it's your approach! Black conservatives are just as rabid as the average conservative or critic of the Black community. They use faulty information, ad nauseam attacks, blame the hip-hop music, and parroting the negative outlooks of the Black community. When they go on television or radio programs to promote their views, they are always confronted with facts, anger among Blacks, and resentment towards their cause. So I should shed some light on their thoughts and hopefully try to understand the Black conservative.</p> <p>These Black conservatives listed below are primary examples of why I did this video: Juan Williams, Larry Elder, Bill Cosby, Jesse Lee Peterson, Armstrong Williams, Thomas Sowell, Karl Malone, Star Paker, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Alphonso Jackson, Rod Paige, Walter Williams, Angela McGlowan, La Shawn Barber, Frances B. Rice, Niger Innis, Roy Innis, Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, and J.C. Watts, Jr.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/37957-uncle-juan">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/33163-fox-has-done-it-again 2008-03-19T11:47:18Z dealx5 <div class="post_content"> <p>Hear how they pulled a black person from out of no where to put dirt on Obama and blacks again.</p> </div> <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/video2/launchPage.html?031808/031808_hapnow_williams&Obama%27s%20Race%20Speech&Happening%20Now&Did%20candidate%27s%20address%20put%20out%20the%20firestorm%20over%20his%20former%">Visit the site</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/33136-fox-has-done-it-again 2008-03-19T09:21:58Z dealx5 <div class="post_content"> <p>Hear how they pulled a black person from out of no where to put dirt on Obama and blacks again.</p> </div> <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/video2/launchPage.html?031808/031808_hapnow_williams">Visit foxnews.com</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/33052-liberals-have-been-on-right-side-of-major-issues 2008-06-07T09:30:19Z youngturks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jFUwsg_54fQ&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jFUwsg_54fQ&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/33052-liberals-have-been-on-right-side-of-major-issues"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/38843" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Watch more of this stuff at <a href="http://www.theyoungturks.com">www.theyoungturks.com</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/33052-liberals-have-been-on-right-side-of-major-issues">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/28690-frank-rich-on-the-clinton-campaign-s-bigoted-lie 2008-02-10T20:31:33Z jgilliam <div class="post_content"> <p><p>Frank Rich in <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/10/opinion/10rich.html">this morning&#39;s op-ed</a>: </p><blockquote><p>Last month a Hispanic pollster employed by the Clinton campaign pitted the two groups against each other by <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/01/21/080121fa_fact_lizza?currentPage=3">telling</a> The New Yorker that Hispanic voters have &ldquo;not shown a lot of willingness or affinity to support black candidates.&rdquo; Mrs. Clinton then <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22682821/">seconded the motion</a> by telling Tim Russert in a debate that her pollster was &ldquo;making a historical statement.&rdquo;</p><p>It wasn&rsquo;t an accurate statement, historical or otherwise. It was a lie, and a bigoted lie at that, given that it branded Hispanics, a group as heterogeneous as any other, as monolithic racists. As the columnist Gregory Rodriguez <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-rodriguez28jan28,0,5950176.column">pointed out</a> in The Los Angeles Times, all three black members of Congress in that city won in heavily Latino districts; black mayors as various as David Dinkins in New York in the 1980s and Ron Kirk in Dallas in the 1990s received more than 70 percent of the Hispanic vote. The real point of the Clinton campaign&rsquo;s decision to sow misinformation and racial division, Mr. Rodriguez concluded, was to &ldquo;undermine one of Obama&rsquo;s central selling points, that he can build bridges and unite Americans of all types.&rdquo;</p><p>If that was the intent, it didn&rsquo;t work.</p></blockquote></p> </div> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/28386-a-duty-to-heal 2008-06-09T15:35:49Z FORAtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pdgBi7luCb8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pdgBi7luCb8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/28386-a-duty-to-heal"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/30531" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Complete video at: <a href="http://fora.tv/2007/09/19/Dan_Gediman_This_I_Believe">fora.tv</a> </p> <p>Dr. Pius Kamau reads his essay "A Duty to Heal."

The fact that Jefferson is black was just icing on their racist, dem-hating cake. But there was one problem: in their early broadcast about the indictment, they showed file footage of House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers — <em>a different black lawmaker</em>. Adam Howard’s blog at Alternet <a href="http://www.alternet.org/blogs/video/53124/">breaks it down</a>, along with Conyers’ response and a great narrated video from TPM.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/856-fox-we-can-t-tell-black-people-apart">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/572-fox-attacks-black-america 2008-07-06T20:28:29Z jessehaff <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UY04gIruZ4E&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UY04gIruZ4E&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/572-fox-attacks-black-america"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/191" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>When James Rucker, the founder of <a href="http://www.colorofchange.org/">ColorOfChange.org</a>, found out that the Congressional Black Caucus Institute was considering partnering with Fox to host presidential debates, he was outraged.
