What the media is also "playing down" is the report that over 50,000 Libyan civilians have been killed as a result of Obama's support of NATO's illegal invasion with US taxpayer's $$$$. Included in this number is a reported 30,000 Black Libyans. There have been no comments by the NUL or the NAACP..or that group of fearless CBC..with the exception of Jesse Jackson, Jr.. His asking for an investigation of the thousands of deaths has apparently gone nowhere. What about you Mr. Elder? http://www.globalresearch.ca/PrintArticle.php?articleId=26643 Massacre of Blacks in Libya By NATO-backed Rebels Continues As World Watches United Nations Says "No Comment" On Ethnic Cleansing Of Black Libyans

I have lost all faith in Palin..after she came out in support of that serial adulterer.

Libya and members of the African Union tell the US and NATO to stop the slaughter in Libya.

Following the arrival of twenty Africans aboard a Dutch man-of-war in Virginia in 1619, the face of American slavery began to change from the "tawny" Indian to the "blackamoor" African in the years between 1650 and 1750. Though the issue is complex, the unsuitability of Native Americans for the labor intensive agricultural practices, their susceptibility to European diseases, the proximity of avenues of escape for Native Americans, and the lucrative nature of the African slave trade led to a transition to an African based institution of slavery. During this period of transition, however, the colonial "wars" against the Pequots, the Tuscaroras, the Yamasees, and numerous other Indian nations led to the enslavement and relocation of tens...

Forget Weinergate: Obama is Impeachable Over Libya By Cliff Kincaid | June 2, 2011 Obama has violated both provisions of the law. If you want an indication of why Republicans may lose to Obama in 2012, look at the pass they are giving him over his illegal war in Libya. Nothing is more important than committing a nation to war. The military intervention could be the basis of impeachment charges. But Republican leaders in the House—and Republican Senator John McCain in the Senate—don’t want to hold Obama accountable. We have pointed out that the war is illegal and that the media—and now the House Republican leaders—have failed to acknowledge the facts. On the other hand, there is growing media fascination with “Weinergate,” in...

NO! He does NOT "get" all blacks. You should read the Black Agenda Report, www.BlackAgendaReport.com and Larry Pinkney of the Black Commentor, www.BlackCommentator.com. PLEASE!

DO YOU FIND THIS SCARY? I DO! Half of Last Month's New Jobs Came from a Single Employer — McDonald's Mark Hemingway June 3, 2011 11:13 AM According to the unemployment data released this morning, the economy added only 54,000 jobs, pushing the unemployment rate up to 9.1 percent. However, this report from MarketWatch suggests the data is much worse than that: McDonald’s ran a big hiring day on April 19 — after the Labor Department’s April survey for the payrolls report was conducted — in which 62,000 jobs were added. That’s not a net number, of course, and seasonal adjustment will reduce the Hamburglar impact on payrolls. (In simpler terms — restaurants always staff up for the summer; the Labor Department makes allowance for...

Friday February 18, 2011 07:00 am Republican Governor Deliberately Spent Wisconsin Surplus To Pick Fight With Unions By Susie Madrak It's important that people understand this: This is a fight Gov. Walker picked for the specific purpose of breaking the unions. Wisconsin had a surplus, and as soon as he was sworn in, Walker gave it away to special interests in order to put the state into deficit. Is it a coincidence that every Republican governor is suddenly going after the unions and the pensions? Is it simply bubbling up from the ground for no special reason? Hell, no. Wisconsin's new Republican governor has framed his assault on public worker's collective bargaining rights as a needed measure of fiscal austerity during tough...
