Michell Malkin Conservative columnist with too much writing talent going to waste on premature outlooks. Earlier today on the View she made an appearance to promote her new book and has done nothing more than come across as a pushy, aggressive, over hyped writer with too much passion behind simplistic views that are aimed at a president who has only been on the job for a short time. She has no real ground so she digs up old records of a dumb college kid who happens to be our technology Czar. This is groundless and obvious of two things, the publisher knows that people are dumb enough to feed into this prematurely conceived self serving view and their bank is about to be made and their fiscal year will look brighter.
There once a time when this stuff was left for the column at a struggling paper with no principles, but a book. Who green lights this stuff.
Here in the video you will see for yourself, how Michelle is just a spotlight driven puppet of her own thoughts or by the hand of another, that has no real grounds to speak on. Michelle will not be the last and we know she is not the first. Heck I will not be surprised if someone else is pulling the strings and feeding her these ideas and fully support her for running with them as her own.
I hate to say this, but this is one way of destroying the approval ratings, by picking at minor details. There are a lot of things to call this but I am going to take my time to observe what is going on here before I speak on it entirely.
Just when you think it is OK...Someone comes along and proves that there is much more work to do. I expect these words to come from someone as uneducated about 'all life' as Newt Gingrich , but Jon Voight the father of Angelina Jolie. I now know why she does not speak to him now, if this is any indication into the window of her childhood.
I once respected him and thought Angelina mad, to not communicate with her father. Now I see there may be a chink in his otherwise clean image. It may have been his role in Rosewood that led me to believe he was cool. So is he still cool? I don't know for sure what that question will reveal, but if these thoughts here are any indication that this man has some deeply rooted dislike for a man that has only worked for a little over 100 days, then we are about to see much more.
“Are we supposed to sitting and waiting, watching for the possibility of a new Holocaust? Who’s going to take the responsibility to keep America, I mean Israel, safe. I’ll tell you why this really scares the hell out of me. Everything Obama has recommended has turned out to be disastrous.
“It saddens me greatly to think we were the great powerful good in the world. We as Americans knew America to be strong. We were the liberators of the entire world. We are becoming a weak nation. “Obama really thinks he is a soft-spoken Julius Caesar.
“We and we alone are the right frame of mind to free this nation from this Obama oppression. Let’s give thanks to [Republicans] for not giving up and staying the course to bring an end to this false prophet, Obama.”
I really do not want to destroy you weekend here. But this video has enraged my spirit. This video is pure evidence along with all of the other so called opinions, out in the news today. That there are some people that do have the Patience of light. The man has been in office less than 7 months and the are citing change. Although the kids are young I want to point out that they are still people, and people at any age can influence are large enough group. In this case, are they a symbol of what's to come? Are the representative of your White JEWS? I don't know but I guess you will let the video serve as a warning.
This is no different than the KKK and NEO NAZI camps here in the states. There are so many things wrong with the content of this video. The questions being posed are not sensible, rationale, or warranted. What these questions are, is impatience, and the hate behind it has been there for so long before Obama. They these kids can not see past their own noses or get their heads out of their asses.
This racially charged video may knock the wind out of you. Watch at your own risk.
It seems many folk on top of capital hill are not the pleased with Wanda Sykes. I do not know why. As far as I am concerned she called it like it is. I can agree, maybe it was not the place and time to speak ones strongest views in a comedic platform, but let be honest with who Rush Limbaugh truly is.
I was not shocked when I heard that Rush said he wanted Obama to fail, but I sure was appalled. Here is Wanda Sykes response to such a statement made by Rush.
"So you’re saying, 'I hope America fails.' You’re like, 'I don’t care about people losing their homes, their jobs or our soldiers in Iraq.' He just wants our country to fail."
As far as I am concerned that is what it balls down to. I am sick of these power hungry politicians and the in pocket political pundits who get on TV and start planning the failure of a leader before he gets off the porter pot. Let be honest with this America, it is important that we support those in power with all that we have. President Obama asked for our help in is acceptance speech, and we were happy American showed growth as nation. However we have dudes running around by the name of Rush Limbaugh who makes his money running his mouth about anything that comes to mind, that contains venom, and can scar the person of topic in some way.
Wanda is a funny person and the truth be told you can find much fact in that which you hear come from her mouth. Although this part right here sounds way off, think about where she is going with this, pick it apart in the most profound way, you will see that this is poetry with a laugh track.
"To me, that’s treason," she added. "He’s not saying anything differently than Osama bin Laden is saying. You know you might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker but he was just so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight."
I can not say anymore about this. Here is the source you read for yourself.
I do not want to come across as ignorant to the world in anyway. This is a moment of pride, not belittlement of another race or creed of people. I am one that loves humanity and all that it has to offer.
It is great to have the spotlight and it is positive for one, and on top of that is allows us to not only share in, but lead a movement. In all my time in this country I have seen nothing but ignorance by the lighter races. The following list promote that there is a movement of people, both, Dark and Light, alike that are about the changes that need to take place in this world. The list is evidence of the support and admiration that the world community has for us.
So is it a good time to be black? The list seems to show you can be anything that you want to be and have pride in doing it.
Our President is Black! The list is the beginning of a long list.
1:The head of the Republican National Committee is Black. Michael Steele 2: The best known media mogul on earth is Black. Oprah Winfrey 3: The greatest golfer in the world is Black. Tiger Woods 4:The top female tennis players in the world are Black. Williams Sisters 5: The highest grossing actor worldwide is Black. Will Smith 6:The fastest racing driver in the world is Black. Lewis Hamilton 7:The brightest Astrophysicist under the sun is Black. Neil Degrasse Tyson 8:The Superbowl-winning Head Coach is Black. Mike Tomlin 9:The most successful brain surgeon in the world is Black. Dr. Benjamin Carson 10:The fastest human on the planet is Black. Usain Bolt 11:…. Michael Jackson must be kicking himself.
As Barack Obama took the win over John McCain Tuesday night, I began to think about all the possibilities that opened up. Of course I thought first about the working man, education, and the free world policies that exist. However when the dust settled I wanted to know what does this mean for people of color in the entertainment industry, mainly in Movies and Television?
I know we have seen African American presidents, CEO's, and other position of power and prestige. But the question is more about the quality and quantity of the films that would showcase this image freely.
Now that America has chosen Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, and Forest Whitaker to name a few, as the men to represent a people and a the dollars at the box office.
My question is will the big wigs begin to bring our stories to the screen without bias. No longer segregating the stories and adding momentum to the amount of productions that we see in a given year.
So what does this win mean for African Americans? I have thought long and hard about this one. Here is a list of things that may be applicable to the new state of American Affairs.
Possible we may see better quality of movies produce with African Americans in respectable roles with out stereotypical characters that are old and outdated.
The Wayans Brothers can continue to do what they do without African American feeling threatened by the images the portray.
Morgan Freeman will get a chance to take a vacation and allow someone else to do the more serious roles. ( That is if the man has the ability to take a break.)
The CW will have to find better writers. However Mara Brock Akil will step up her game with this new found pride and possible produce another hit show, that will for sure cross over.
More African American Shows that can bring back the Cosby Vision.
Bill Cosby may even put in one last film or TV effort, coming out of retirement with this new found pride.
Spike Lee will have stronger stories and his cousin Malcolm D. Lee will stop making crap- tastic films.
Rappers will have to upgrade their music to fit the times.
R&B may make a come back, fused with rock and Hip Hop.( I know that it never left, but come on it is not supported due to lack of something.)
A fusion of stories, music, and art will be that much more visible to the world.
Gossip Bloggers may actually talk bad about everyone because everyone is hot on the global scale.
The rest is to be told.......! This is all speculation. But wouldn't you want to see this happen. Let me know or add to the list what is possible.
There is not much that I can say to this, simply for the fact that it speaks for itself. For me to add to this would take away from it. However I would like to say one thing. I am most pleased with the fact that it has been put out there and in the front. Maybe just maybe we will see an election where people actually go out and do there homework.
This election may actually force voters to go out there do real background checks and not this bullshit he said she said crap. They may actually go out judge for themselves and not amongst the group of KKK members or desperate house grannies. This is what has been taking place and it is not allowing either candidate a fair evaluation.
As of late I have been seeing more and more support coming out of Hollywood for Barack Obama, and this does not suprise me. I am pleased to see this take place none the less.
As reported:
Barack Obama partied with Hollywood celebrities Tuesday night and with the help of Oscar-winning singer and actress Barbra Streisand raised an eye-popping $9 million for his presidential campaign and the Democratic Party.Obama spent more than an hour before dinner getting his picture taken with guests. He said later that people had encouraged him to be tougher and had questioned why he was so calm in a close race against Republican John McCain.
“I’m skinny but I’m tough,” he said. “I’m from Chicago and we don’t play. Just keep steady. If we can cut through the nonsense and the lipstick and the pigs and the silliness, then I’m absolutely convinced that we are going to win,” Obama said, referring to some of the offbeat charges raised against him. “The reason I’m calm … is I’ve got confidence in the American people,” he said. “I really think they want to see us do better.” Standing in the courtyard of the palatial estate, he said his campaign was dedicated to people who need jobs and health care and worry about their pensions and sending children to college. “It’s about those who will never see the inside of a building like this,” Obama said. He said the economic turmoil in recent days had been sobering for America. “It’s reminded people that this is not a game. This is not a reality show, no offense to any of you,” Obama said to laughter. “This is not a sitcom.”
Here is the speech that will shake the world for years to come.
I have been left speechless after sitting on my couch, and jumping off of the thing to clap loudly till my neighbors heard me from across the street. Since I live amongst many McCain Supporters I am sure now that they realize who I am voting for.
I find my self feeling an vibe filled chill run down my back every time I think of this speech. As for Oprah, Kanye west, and Mary J Blige, my world will never be the same. My confidence has reached a new level. No one can take away form me what I am. They will have to accept that I will now offer to the world who I am and with Confidence to break down all obstacles.
Oprah Referred to the king speech. Allow me to share that speech with you.
Now this will get kind of long so take your time and be patient the world is about to begin a process to a better place and one of the architects to this new world is Martin Luther King.
I have a Dream
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
We cannot turn back.
There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by a sign stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹

What can I say to this? Hot Mic's my Ass is what I can say! It does not matter whether he was wired or not. It is obvious he feels the way he does, and a sit down is needed to move forward. Rev. Jackson, seems to have strong feelings about Senator Obama, and these two men need to talk.
I need to know what the people think on the New Yorker Cover which touched on a subject that has been plaguing the Senator Obama camp for a long time. However Due to the nature of the New Yorker magazine, they were able to put this out. If anything comes against them, it may be for a few hairs if that, in terms of the losses they may incur.
However instead of me rambling on and on. I would like to know what the people think about it. Before you give me your opinions I want you to take a look at two covers. The one from the NEW YORKER and one from VANITY FAIR. The latter is of course a direct hit to Senator McCain, however I do not find it that much of an offense, but a decent companion to erasing some of the sting from the New Yorker that Americans may feel.
Then again, what do I know.. That is why I am asking you guys. So talk to me.
**Please note that the Obama cover has aburning flag, and the McCain Cover has a burning constitution.
With GWB running off at the mouth in front of foreign leaders, I get the understanding of why a patriot such as Obama would be upset. However I strongly disagree with America, sitting back and talking about it, instead of showing the same fury that Senator Obama displayed. Our current president has no clear plan of dealing with his mess, and now wants to destroy our potential to clean up the slaughter of American Life, that has been going on since 2001.
As Americans we should be fed up with the way GW handles things. You do not attack your senators in another country with a full on verbal assault. What ever happened to speaking to your team mates behind closed doors. When I last heard, we are all batting for the same team. However; it is becoming vividly apparent, that GW does not want America's salvation to be one of peace, but one of war.
There is nothing else for me to say. But I do know one thing, Senator Barack Obama will not take this one lying down and Do you want to?
Jimmy Kimmel has the ability to to take the sting out of the current democratic election. With the latest installment of I am f**king. This one is of course aimed at Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, take a peak it will get your Mourning off to a good start.
JOHN ROCKINS UNIVERSITY has been brought into existence do to a silent demand for representation. A representation in the media of Ethnic American Films, music, books, and plays. Although this blog is not singular in a focus solely on Ethnic American art, it allows the reader to see that it fits into a full spectrum of works, across the entire industry.
With the exposure JRU's hopes to be a piece of a large pie. An integral part that can be shared at all tables involved and with all who take an interest in the art of our modern day as well as past, and leaping towards a greater future.
No longer should Americans or the America we love, have a split down the center. If in art that continues it will forever bring out the underlying mistrust, and misunderstanding that we face in reality.
I hope to bring all races together with this blog and to bring about a change within our work in the media as well as the art forms of entertainment that we love.
