State of the Black Union (VIDEO)

February 24th, 2006 at 03:31 by MsUnderestimated

Folks, this illustrious event will be held in Houston, TX this weekend, and broadcast on TV Saturday. For reasons other than it will be a sheer pleasure to watch it, I will be recording it to report back here (besides, I don’t have a root canal scheduled for that day either, unfortunately). We got a preview, however, tonight on Hannity & Colmes. Tavis Smiley & Cornell West appeared on the show to talk about this weekend’s upcoming event, the “State of the Black Union,” and proudly advertised it would be televised on C-SPAN all weekend. I’ve listened to this over and over, and I still can’t make much sense of what Tavis or Cornell are talking about!?!?

Right out of the box, Alan warns that Sean will be along to rattle on about Harry Belafonte, blah, blah, and blah…. But finally after Sean does get to speak, Tavis immediately gets into the spirit of things. He comments that “black folk (sic) resent things… they resent being taken for granted by the Democrats, they resent being ignored by the Republicans, they resent having an Administration that pushes an agenda and often times is unanswerable to their agenda…”

All this despite Sean just having pointed out that President Bush has appointed MORE African-Americans and other minorities to positions of power in his Administration than any other president in history! If any of you can follow Tavis’ or Cornell’s rapid-fire dialogue, you are more than welcome to transcribe it for me. It’s more of the typical democrat-speak: “speak so passionately that your audience doesn’t care whether there’s any substance to what you say or not; they just believe in you” - OR “speak so quickly, AND feverishly, that your empassioned audience not only doen’t care what you say, but they still agree with you anyway, even though they can’t understand it.”

This is so much demagoguery that I can’t make sense of any of it.

Sean asks why the most notable African-Americans in the Bush Administration are never present for these events, and neither Tavis nor Cornell can even explain it. Why aren’t people like Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas, invited Sean asked? Well, to their credit, they do claim that they may have been “invited,” but didn’t show up…. ??? Tavis, you go on with your “courage of conviction” attitude… just see how far you get with it.

And here’s another teaser….Tavis says he has a “major announcement” to make to both the Republican and the Democratic party this Saturday at this “State of the Black Union Symposium.” He wouldn’t say what that major announcement was (although I’m waiting on pins and needles), but it will probably be fun to watch anyway. Wonder if they’ll have Malik Zulu Shabazz as a guest speaker? (If you’ve never seen this Moonbat, tou can watch that unhinged video at MichelleMalkin.com, for another piece of enlightened entertainment.)

P.S. Michelle has the WHOLE story on this sect of lunacy we can expect from the “unhinged,” as she so rightly calls them. And the pre-eminent Expose the Left has the story, as well as Jo’s Cafe, and Right on the Right.
