Will Eight Million Obamacare Enrollees Neutralize Senator Cornyn’s Willie Horton Ad?

 Each time I viewed SENATOR John Cornyn's 2014 "Astonishing" primary ad on television I cringed. The ad prominent displayed of President Obama's black face seems to be an attempt to make him look like a criminal and/or a menacing black man.

 I believe that the purpose of the Cornyn's campaign ad is the same as the Willie Horton ads discussed in "The Willie Horton ad revisited 25 years later" post by the Grio. The Willie Horton ad "represented a new low in race-card politics, and the manipulation of white fear of black criminality—and an irrational and visceral hatred of black people in general— to win elections."

I hope that the fact that 8 million Americans signed up for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act aka "Affordable Care Act" "Obamacare" will end Republicans racist political campaign ads. More importantly I hope that Cornyn and the Republicans will stop using images of the president of the United States of America, Mr. Obama, as a menacing figure to energize its supporters.

Lawrence O'Donnell Calls Congressman Darrell Issa Actions Towards Cummings Shameful I CALL It RACISM!

Video of Lawrence O'Donnell's thoughtful and insightful explanation that no congressional hearing chairman other than Issa have ever adjourned a hearing without letting anyone else speak or ask a question. The fact that Issa not only didn't let African-American Congressman Cummings make a statement or ask a question but cut off the the microphone of the ranking Democrat is RACISM.

  “Congressman Darrell Issa of California abused his authority and therefore must be reprimanded to ensure the dignity of the House of Representatives is preserved,” Ohio Democratic Rep. and Congressional Black Caucus chair Marcia Fudge wrote. “We urge you to take prompt action to maintain the integrity of this body and remove Mr. Issa as chair of the Oversight & Government Reform Committee immediately.” Issa and Cummings have been at odds for months over the committee’s investigation into improper IRS targeting of conservative groups for review of their tax-exempt status. Groups with other political affiliations were scrutinized as well however, and Issa and other Republicans have for months sought – and failed – to prove that the administration itself directed the IRS scrutiny.


Someone who has a national platform and can't be hurt financially should call out Issa for his racist behavior towards Cummings and his racist agenda towards President Obama. A person that I would suggest is Bill Cosby.

Discussing racism in American should not deem one an unreliable idealistic liberal, a racist, or a race-card playing cry baby. America can no longer afford to silence RACISM discussions. We cannot afford to muffle the truth because racism appears to have gotten worst since this nation elected President Barack Hussein Obama not once but two times.

Senator Cruz and Racist Republicians Want to Put Blacks Back in Chains?

According to Pascal Robert May 11, 2013, Huffington Post article titled "The Reactionary Nature of Black Politics:" "The main vehicle allowing this constant social and political demobilization of the Black community stems from the problematic reality that Black politics has traditionally been grounded in a purely reactionary response to the phenomenon of racism -- particularly without a clear understanding of the purpose of racism in its application to Blacks.

This stems from a failure to understand basic key aspects of the relationship of Blacks to America and racism, mostly because the sheer terror used under the guise of racism to maintain the prevailing order has been so atrocious that the political focus by Blacks has been to concentrate on that terror and attempts to neutralize it without truly addressing its root cause."

Senator Ted Cruz and the GOP actions towards President Obama especially the October 1, 2013, closing of the federal government is an example of racism to maintain the prevailing order.  Blacks and Americans who believe in EQUALITY for all Americans can stop being reactionary and become proactive.  Read my book Screwed by Former Governor and Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and respectfully request action from President Obama. 

As president Obama can use an Executive Order to amend Title VII  of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He can amend the act to protect it and employment discrimination victims before the United Supreme Court of America guts that act like it did the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Courts VRA decision and its Affordable Care Act "Obamacare" deciion to aid members of Congress like Senator Cruz to "put Blacks back in chains."
