Will U S Supreme Court June 2013 1965 Voting Rights Decision Deny Minorities Future Presidential Victories?

Will US Supreme Court Voter Right Act of 1965 dec duri 1st BLK POUS term deny other BLKs/Hispanic the White House?:

Update: The Supreme Court ruling dismantled Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 Means Republicians can win back the White House in 2016 with Governor Christie as its nominee.

In this October 2011 video President Obama praises Martin Luther King and the struggle that resulted in the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and ultimately to him becoming this nation's "First" African-American president.

 

In 2012 President Obama would not have been reelected without the Attorney General Eric Holder’s and the Justice Department enforcing the protections provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act

 

This week the Republicans and conservative justice have an opportunity to either put this country first and right centuries of unjust voting barriers that denied African-Americans full class citizenship or to take this country back to our Racist unjust voting past.

 

Will Chief Justice John Roberts once again stand up for the good of this nation as a whole and vote to keep Section 5 of the Voting Right Act of 1965 intact?

 

Just like he did in the "Obamacare" decision, I hope and pray to Jesus that Roberts delivers the deciding vote in favor of justice and liberty for all Americans.

I Believe Obama's Hope and Change Message Posted on 2/8/08

I suggest that those of you who are judging Obama’s tactics and motives so harshly channel your energy in getting answers from the Bush Administration. In 2001 Vice President Cheney and his buddies in oil, gas, and energy businesses met behind closed doors. After meeting for months the elite group announced a National Energy Plan. For years Cheney has refused lower court orders to turn over the records of the energy policy task force and/or a list of who attended the meetings. In 2006 Exxon profits were 39.5 billion dollars. On February 1, 2008, the Associate Press reported that Exxon Mobil posted annual profit of 40.6 billion dollars in 2007. The oil company that produces only 3 percent of the world’s oil credits it astronomical profits to a well-run global diverse operation that’s investing billions to find more energy supplies. Exxon distributed 35.6 billion dollars to shareholders in 2007 through dividends and share purchases to reduce shares outstanding. Do you believe that Exxon Mobil’s executives were in attendance at Cheney’s secret meetings? Do you believe that Exxon should have also credit the Bush Administration for its record profits? Who do you think received those record dividends? How much tax money did the federal government collect on the 35.6 billion dollar dividends? Exxon’s 41 billion dollar profit for 2007, it just one example which demonstrates that everything is controlled by the person who occupies the Oval Office. Therefore, if it is true that “the Obama campaign has perverted the concept of hope by wedding it to a dangerous politics of compromise, concession, and cunning” I say well done. Obama has developed a win- win strategy for himself and for all Americans. I believe that he is doing what is needed to get elected and that we should take Obama at his word. Once he is elected President of the United States of America, he will propose and implement changes that will address and improve the lives of all Americans.

A Devoted Teacher's Refections on Kierra Mae Jones, Murdered Victim in Triple Shooting

Police Identify Victim In Triple Shooting 

By my daughter who was one of Kierra's teachers email the following to me:

Kierra “Twin” Jones was one of a kind. At just about five feet, ninety pounds, she had a huge spirit that was belying of her stature. With braids, tattoos, and oversized clothing it would be easy to look at her and assume the worst. But once she smiled, all of that melted away. And you saw her for what she was. A young woman who dared to be herself, a young woman who loved openly, a young woman who was just as quick to give an encouraging word as she was to crack a joke. And as she spoke--slow and measured, you could feel the reservoir of wisdom that was deep inside of her.

She wasn’t perfect, as none of us are. However, she was strengthened through every mistake, fortified through every failure. And throughout the revolving door that is night school, she remained constant. When her peers’ resolve weakened she said, “I have faith.”

 Twin exemplified everything that All City is supposed to represent. She dreamed through adversity. She strived every day; even in the midst of the complacency that surrounds us all. She was a leader, she was a peacemaker, so much so that it cost her life.

 And through her death, life continues. Old students are coming back through that revolving door. They’re saying they’re going to graduate for Twin. And though they may stumble, though they may never pass a Regents, or walk the stage, they have all LEARNED.

 Hopefully we too can learn from this. Our success as educators is not limited to test scores. Our success comes when we dig deep within ourselves and continue to hope. Our success comes when we look past the statistics and see our students as people who deserve dignity and respect. Our success comes when we forgive the students who disrespect and underappreciate us. Our success comes when we treat our students like we would want someone to treat our own kids. Our success comes when we don’t coddle students, but when we push them to excel. Our success comes when we lead by example.

Kierra’s family is requesting donations to buy her headstone. Please give as much as you can.

I am feeling better, death is a part of life and I am going to use her death as motivation. I love y'all :-)

Pray for President Obama, America, John Boehner, and the Republican Party

--> A video to encourage Obama supporters of all races and national origins to pray for him and our nation during this time of GOP opposition and unfair political tactics. Praise God in song and dance and he will deliver us from the "EVIL" that has caused many fearing "CHANGE" to forget God and country to destroy President Obama. We should also pray for the GOP because the bible tells us to pray for our enemies and our leaders.

Kierra Mae Jones 5/14/13 Murder: Racism to Maintain the Prevailing Order by Supplying AND Selling Illegal Guns to Blacks to Murder Each Other

--> On May 14, 2013, Kierra Mae Jones, who was 20 years old and a student of my 29 year old daughter was gunned down in Rochester, NY. According to the Democrat and Chronicle website Jones was celebrating the graduation of two of her cousins at her aunt’s home on York Street on May 14, 2013, when two vehicles approached.
Their occupants fired multiple gunshots and drove away. Jones, herself set to graduate from All City High in a month, was struck multiple times and died at Strong Memorial Hospital a short time later, her family said. The day before Kierra Jones was murdered my youngest daughter called me in Houston to tell me that Kierra Mae Jones watched one of my Youtube videos on racism as part of one of her assignments. On May 15, 2013, I read a haunting and provocative Huffington Post article titled “The Reactionary Nature of Black Politics.

In the article Pascal Robert stated “Jim Crow was rooted in economic control, not simply racism and brutality. Those were the tools used to keep the system intact.” Robert’s story has led me to believe that gun violence and the unwillingness of the GOP, Tea Party members, NRA, and others to support background checks for gun control is a form of racism to maintain the prevailing order: The time is now for African-Americans to stop being reactionary and become proactive in saving our children and OURSELVES.

We should demand action from Senator Harry Reid, the Democrats, and more importantly President Obama. President Obama can have a successful second term if Reid do filibuster reform NOW. With reform the Senate can pass a background check gun control bill. Reform will also allow the Senate to skip the delaying tactics of Rubio and GOP who don’t have any intentions of passing Immigration Reform before or especially not after the 2014 elections.

Filibuster reform will also allow the Senate to confirm President Obama nominated federal judges that have lifetime appointments over the GOP unprecedented opposition. At the end of his article Roberts asks who is up to the task to provide a new politics that is not rooted in reactionary response to racism but seeks to foster cross-racial coalitions with those similarly situated to crush the barriers to economic equality. My answer is PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!

July 26, 2013, UPDATE

I am so glad that President Obama's comment on the Trayvon Martin's murder and jury verdict.  Our president message encouraged us and will motivate us to greatness.

President Obama Should Use Long Airport Traveling Delays Caused by Sequester as a Political Weapon

The typo in the Sequester Bill to end long airlines delays caused by the furlough of air traffic controllers gives President Obama a chance to fight for program cuts that hurt the non-flying public. African-Americans stood in long lines for three to seven hours to vote in 2008 and 2012. Therefore, those who mocked President Obama’s efforts to prevent the sequester by flying around the country warning of long lines at our airports shouldn’t be allowed to pick and fix parts of the sequester to please their base.

 PLEASE PRESIDENT OBAMA DON’T SIGN the “Reducing Flight Delays Act of 2013.” According to a Washington Post article “Obama has pretty much tried it all. He has met privately with Republican leaders in the House, collaborated with bipartisan groups of senators and taken his case to the people, hoping that the power of public opinion could win over his opponents in Congress. This year none of those efforts have worked.”

One thing “Obama” hasn’t tried is fighting fire with fire when dealing with the Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and the GOP. The GOP routinely use self-made crises to further their agenda and to control the nation narrative i.e. debt ceiling, reducing the debt). President Obama SHOULDN’T sign a bill to “prevent reduced operations and staffing” at the FAA UNTIL Boehner and the GOP accept a deal that repeal the entire Sequester.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Signing “Reducing Flight Delays Act of 2013” Bill" & Rubio Leading on Immigration WRONG

PRESIDENT OBAMA was called a liar and accused of using scare tactics when he warned nations of that the sequester would cause long delays in air traffic. On April 25, 2013, his accusers in the Senate passed a resolution to prevent reduced operation and staffing at the FAA.

Should President Obama sign the bill “prevent reduced operations and staffing” at the FAA? HELL NO! Should President Obama play let’s make a deal with Boehner and the GOP and accept a deal that doesn't repeal the entire Sequester? HELL NO! Should President Obama, Senator Reid, and Nancy Pelosi accept any deal with Speaker Boehner, Tea Party members, and GOP that doesn’t offer the same amount of monetary funding (253 million) provided to easy air travel delays for Wall Street to restore programs cuts for the young, sick, disabled, and/or poor? HELL NO!

It time that Reid stand up to the GOP and remember the Hispanic voters that saved his A-- in 2012. Reid get a backbone and pass a filibuster reform bill. President Obama please demand that Reid enact filibuster reform NOW!

We can't and/or won't continue to WAIT for another election (2014), for Democrats to lead and not blindly follow Senator Rubio on Immigration Reform, and for Reid to introduce and pass FILIBUSTER REFORM. We voted for CHANGE in 2008 and 2012 and we want it NOW! Boehner and GOP have passed over 30 bills to repeal OBAMACARE. Therefore, it's time for Boehner to get off his A-- and bring a bill to the House of Representative that will repeal the entire (Sequester) Budget Control Act of 2011.
