Stifling the Black Vote - The "Black Agenda Report"




Recent reports have made clear that Romney isn't going to get a lot of black voters to pull his lever in the voting booth. But if the conservatives can convince black voters to stay home, that's almost as good. Viola!!

The Black Agenda Report is a thinly veiled attempt to make black voters believe Obama is "no better" and that it doesn't serve their interests to bother to vote. Not now, not ever.

If you look at their Single-Payer Healthcare page, it leads with "All U.S. Constituencies Oppose Obama’s “Individual Mandate” for Health Care."

The menu on the right-side column includes links to "Where will the US strike next in Africa?" and "How Obama helps the Banks rig the housing market."

A major article on the front page has screaming headlines: "The Democrats Prepare for a Post-Election Grand Compromise with the GOP."


I hope the minority communities in this country are wide awake.

I have an African co-worker who hates Obama and would never vote for him because of his policy toward Africa.

Apparently it's a big deal in the African immigrant community in the US. Will their view permeate through the African-American community? Probably not. But again, Romney has more than 0%. Not all African immigrants stay home.
