We are witnessing history right before our eyes. I just found out that Mayor Kwame Malik Kilpatrick, the Mayor of America's Poorest City, will plead guilty on Thursday.
He is going to do some jail time. Well it's about time. Thank you Jesus.
Not only Kilpatrick is going down in flames but Obama is only leading McCain by 5% going into tonight's historic speech made by Obama-Killer Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska. The speech she will make is going to close the gap betwewen McCain and Obama and the media is going to turn their attention on the lovely Sarah Palin while Obama begins to slip in the polls.

I cannot believe how this woman has re-energized the entire GOP. The energy is past electric. Look at what liberals are pulling out of their ass to try to kill this woman:(1) Palin' 17-year old daughter Bristol was five months pregnant and intended to keep the baby and marry the father of her child, 17-year-old Levi Johnston. Liberals have tried to paint Palin as a bad mother and a bad choice.
If Black people who support Obama would follow this clear example of responsibility 80% of our problems would be eliminated. Abortion is the leading cause of DEATH in our community yet we elect Black candidates that are pro-choice. If they can show me in the Bible where it's ok to be pro-choice I will be pro-choice. In this community we need to stress the importance of being pro-life....not just preserving the child in the womb but stressing the importance of living as men and women. If you don't want a "unwanted" child (whatever the hell that means) quit screwing.
(2) Palin is inexperienced and should be disqualified.
Obama has been a U.S. Senator for 140 days. What qualifies him to be President? And why did he pick Biden? Becuase he is inexperienced in foreign policy. The end.
(3) Palin is too far to the right.
We NEED a candidate that is too far to the right. Hopefully, she will be instrumental in cleaning up what is on TV like men kissing one another and the outrageous sex on TV. Obama supports sex education for 5 year olds..that alone disqualifies him for being President. I am going to come back to this point.
(4) Palin is trying to get the Hillary Clinton supporters.
Is she? If she didn't she would STILL be a hit. What about the other women who are independents and was waiting for McCain's pick for Vice President?
(5) Palin is too far to the right socially and is out of touch (a extension of point 3).
Here is why Blacks needs to get behind Gov. Palin and McCain.
Only 15-20% of black children born today will grow up with 2 parents until age 16 in Detroit.
Over 80% of long-term child poverty occurs in broken or never-married homes.
70% of African-American boys in the criminal justice system come from single-parent homes.
The top moral crises facing the Black family are rooted in sexual immorality.
65% of never-married black women have children, double that for white women.
22% of never-married black women with incomes over $75,000 have children, 10 times that of white women.
Over 80% of black families with children are headed by a single parent.
85% of black children do not live in a home with their fathers.
Only 15-20% of black children born today will grow up with 2 parents until age 16.
Over 80% of long-term child poverty occurs in broken or never-married homes.
70% of African-American boys in the criminal justice system come from single-parent homes.
43% of all black children are aborted, nearly 3 times higher than for Whites. This fact is critical, since pastors and politicians argue that the reason for the illegitimacy rates for Blacks being dramatically higher is because they claim, "Blacks seldom abort their children."
Over 15 million African-American babies have been aborted (killed by their mothers) since Roe v. Wade. This is 14 times the total of all U.S. soldiers killed in all of America's wars over 220 years from 1775 to present.
Blacks abort their babies 3 times that of Whites, a ratio that has grown by 50% since 1992.
70% of all black children are born out of wedlock.
50% of all new AIDS cases are in the Black community which comprises only 12% of the population.
76% of all AIDS cases, in Detroit alone, are black women. A black woman is 25 times more likely to contract AIDS than a white woman and represents 72% of all women with AIDS.
African-Americans are 20 times more likely than whites to have gonorrhea.
AIDS is now the #1 killer of black women, age 25-44. "It's devastating," says Dr. Gayle E. Wyatt at UCLA AIDS Institute. 67% of black women with AIDS contracted HIV thru heterosexual sex.
Black men on the "down low" are having sex with other men behind the backs of their wives and girlfriends while claiming not to be homosexual or bisexual (New York Times). A study among black men in 37 colleges in North Carolina revealed that of the 84 men with HIV, 1/3 had sex with men and women.
Black men in America engage in polygamous relationships, 3 ½ times that of White or Hispanic. In Detroit, Michigan, 51% of black men had at least 2 partners.
Surprisingly, many black clergy who stood at the forefront of opposing same-sex marriage are eerily quiet when it comes to addressing the crisis of declining African-American marriage rates.
Decreasing marriage rates between a black man and a black woman threaten to erode black social and economic progress.
Between 1950 and 1996, the percentage of Black families headed by married couples declined from 78 percent to 34 percent (J. Mandara & C. B. Murray, 2004).Between 1940 and 1990, the percentage of Black children living with both parents dropped from 75.8 percent to 33.2 percent, largely because of increases in never-married Black mothers (S. E. Tolnay, 2005).
During this period African American couples reported more spousal abuse and singles and couples reported less connection to relatives. One survey reports 77 percent of Black adults ages 19-35 said they wished to get married (S. South, 2005).
57% of Black Americans profess to be "born again" Christians compared to 33% of adults nationwide.
83% of Blacks say their religious faith is very important in their lives compared to 66% of whites.

75% of Blacks say they believe God is the all-powerful, all-knowing Creator who rules the world today.
2/3 of Blacks strongly affirm the Bible's accuracy compared to less than 50% for Whites, Hispanics and Asians.
92% of African Americans report praying in the last 7 days compared to 82% for Whites.
Only 10% of Blacks believe moral truth is absolute compared to 26% of Whites and Hispanics. (All religious statistics taken from Barna Research Report).
These are the facts. While Blacks waste their time on the War on Terrorism debates (something that most of us do not even understand because 75-80% of us cannot even find Iraq or Afghanistan on a map let alone understand the terminology "foreign policy") and following the liberals in painting McCain as a "Bush 3" here are some things about Obama you might not want to read.
(1) Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the most liberal senator in 2007, according to National Journal's 27th annual vote ratings. The insurgent presidential candidate shifted further to the left last year in the run-up to the primaries, after ranking as the 16th- and 10th-most-liberal during his first two years in the Senate.
(2) Obama supports abortion rights and strongly disagreed with the 2007 Supreme Court ruling upholding a federal ban on "partial birth" abortion. He also achieved a 100 percent rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America in both 2005 and 2006.
I guess my question to the Obama supporters is where in the Bible does it say to kill your baby and ye shall be saved?
(3) Obama believes we must strengthen literacy, math, and science skills to meet the demand for a skilled workforce and retain and grow jobs in the next century. He believes No Child Left Behind needs reform, and he would expand early childhood education, improve educator quality and salaries, increase federal college aid, and work to increase the representation of minorities and women in the science and technology fields.
What KIND of reform does Obama supports? And while he wants to increase salaries for educators does this mean we have to join the union to get these wage increases?
(4) Obama voted against offshore drilling and has supported full funding for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, which funds water quality protection projects for wastewater treatment, non-point source pollution control, and watershed and estuary management.
Gas is damn near $4.00 again. How do we lower the price of oil? We drill. For example, take a look at these gas prices.
Saudi Arabia-- Riyadh $0.91
Kuwait-- Kuwait City $0.78
Egypt--Cairo $0.65
Nigeria--Lagos $0.38
Venezuela--Caracas $0.12
This is the actual gas prices in these countries because they drill for oil in their own country. Meanwhile, we are held hostage by OPEC in terms of importing oil at outrageous prices due the weakening of the U.S. Dollar. However, Sarah Palin wants to drill for oil in her homestate of Alaska to lower the cost of oil and gas. Yet, liberals and ignorant followers consider her inexperienced.
This is common sense for the United States to drill for oil in our own backyard.
(5) While Obama opposes same-sex marriage, he also opposes a constitutional ban. He does support civil unions.
We have already concluded that the Black community has been destroyed thanks to sexual immorality. So why should we support someone who is for civil unions? We need a constitutional ban because gay and lesbians are creeping into the court system as judges changing the definitions of what marriage is. Yet, I should support Obama?
(6) Obama believes Social Security can be protected and strengthened and opposes Bush's plan allowing workers to divert some Social Security payroll taxes into private retirement accounts.
Now Black people die before White people and never see any social security. Did Bernie Mac see his social security? He died at 50 years old. Gerald Levert died at 40 years old. What about the young men who die from gun violence, AIDS, Hepatitis-B and heart attacks? Again, why should I vote for Obama if he is against me investing my social security into a private account?
I think Black folks need to stop chasing history and chase reality. I want to support a candidate that reflect my views. And for those Black folks who say that the Republican Party has done nothing for me or has done nothing for our people can you please explain why over 70% of the issues that we face in a Democratic city such as Detroit are deeply rooted in sexual immorality?
Democrats in Detroit do not talk about family rebuilding. We have Black men who are supposed to be leaders cheating on their wives and going to the adult bars while their children are at home. It's .so bad that many, in our community, view marriage as an alternative lifestyle. Most do not trust the opposite sex and many do not feel that they will ever be married in the long run.
The only people I EVER hear talk and WORK ON restoring marriage, promoting pro-life issues and educational choices in the inner city are WHITE CONSERVATIVES. They are MORE passionate about helping the inner city than WE are. That to me is sickening and embarrassing. Even Black Conservatives are silent on the issues, yet, want to get on Hannity and Colmes and think they are scholarly.
We operate out of a lack of knowledge. Black men don't know the positives of marriage. Black women don't always know the positives of marriage. Black people have the lowest marriage rate in the country. If anybody needed to get the hookup it's us.
The White community sees their problem. They're doing something to remedy it. You know they have all those shows about marriage. They're doing a nationwide push to get people in a position where they can marry. Where's our push? Who is helping the people with the worst marriage rate in the country?
Obama knows there is a family crisis in America. Yet, he wants to enhance the destruction of our community. And if young people who are following Obama are so disillusional to see the actual problems in their face then that is too bad.
That is why we need John McCain and Sarah Palin running the show in Washington D.C. They are reformers and right now America needs morality not a good and inspiring speech.
A vote for Obama is a vote for the end of our inner cities. But as usual Black people will put Jesus Christ in the closet to vote for someone who is Black. We forget how Blacks were excited over Mayor Kilpatrick when he won his Mayoral seat in 2001 and was re-elected in 2005. Now he is going to jail.
What makes you think Obama is no different? The biggest weakness in a man (who is married) is a woman. Obama will fall just like Kilpatrick. But as usual, the part-time Christians will challenge me on this. Blacks will ignore the facts I just presented and STILL vote for someone who does not share OUR values.
This is why REAL people need to vote and support John McCain and Sarah Palin. Are you with me?

Spewing out facts about black issues is a shameful plug. This Republican party has shown NO interest in Black Americas plight at ALL and somehow you think that they will provide solutions?
A Black Republican is just slightly more sick than a Black Democrat !!!!
Oh...and VALUES. What the hell are you talking about???
I value my family, GOD and my neighborhood.
There is a lot about the DEMS i do not like, But until this Republican party "values" ME and MY PEOPLE, to HELL with them!!!
Tell your boys and girls to put their money where YOUR mouth is....Seriously run a Repub for Mayor of Detroit in 2009. The field is apparently clear now, so there is no better chance.
But they won't do that, will they?
Detroit votes for Democrats because that is all who runs for election in our city, NOT because of this "value" BS you keep talking about.
If it ain't on the menu, I can't order it.
Tell your crew to put themselves on the menu....or shut the hell UP!!!!
First and foremost, I didn't write the post, just posted it. Secondly I think both responses to the article are just silly in the sense that you both are advocating that Democrats care about African American issues. No the reality is, we as African Americans need to stop selling our votes to parties and start giving our vote to the best candidate regardless of party affiliation.
Does the city of Detroit need a Republican mayor, perhaps, but I am more concerned in the city of Detroit getting a better Mayor and City government regardless of race and party affiliation. I am a firm believer in choosing a candidate that represents all people and will put the people before their party. Their are not too many candidates out their that do that.
So simply put neither the Democratic or Republican Party care have family values that make you appeal to either party but the ideas of traditional values still exist more so with the Republican party than with Democrats while Democrats have 12 point bold ideas that are good if they only articulate them well.
Simply put, wake up people and realize that the two party system doesn't benefit the people, it benefits the parties. Let's start voting for candidates who put the people first before they run for office and who put the people first when it comes to party affiliation.
People first, city/state second, American third and party affiliation--never--no way, no how!
'Dari, I agree that voting strictly by party is never a good thing. But let's just be real - Democrats are more in tune with issues that are key to African-Americans than are Republicans. And not only are Republicans less in tune, they are in many cases purely racist. Don't believe me? Check this link:
http://www.michiganmessenger.com/4076/lose-your-house-lose-your-vote
Andy, I have to disagree on the comment that one party is more in tune with issues that deal with African Americans. No a couple of candidates who are affiliated with the Democratic Party are in tune with African American issues but the Democratic Party itself is not. Neither party addresses African American and minority issues like they should, no matter how you look at.
Now if you are calling the Republican Party racist than that would make the Democratic Party sexist based off how they are looking at Sarah Palin and how not one prominent Democrat defended Hillary from the sexist remarks made about her during the Democratic Primary time and time again.
The issue about if you lose your house, you can't vote is not wrong because when you think about it, you must have a place of residence to stay in to vote and if you lost your house than technically your place of residence is no longer that address so you have to change it in order to be valid voter in either that same area or another area. Otherwise it is fraud. Simply put our voting system in America is broke and fraud takes place in every election not just Presidential elections. Neither the Democratic or Republican Party don't care unless it hurts their candidates chances of winning so both oppress people's vote in some areas and manuipalate the court system to make sure certain polling sites stay open longer in order to tip an election in one party's candidate favor over the other.
Thus, both parties are out of touch with the real issues and care more about winning elections and having power than helping the American people. While there are certain individiauls who belong to both parties who care about the people, the Democratic and Republican parties as a whole are out of touch and out of sight when it comes to solving the problems of day to day Americans and that is the problem we are facing year after year, election cycle after cycle. So what will change unless we the people take the power from the two party election system, nothing.
