I know, it's easy to discount this because "Glenn Beck" said it. On the other hand, it's kind of hard to discount it when its black people sending the message.

When I originally posted this, I knew "they" would kill the messenger. The key here is, the message was produced by "Voices of the Ex-Offender". There were a couple of felons speaking and their message was, what is happening now is not helping the very people it is supposed to help.
Bit of recent speeches claim that 'boosting the minimum wage will boost the economy" and what these people are saying is, there are no jobs and they point directly to inner city Chicago as well as Detroit.... where government positions are predominantly black. These politicians are driving around in new cars while the people they represent are still starving, still looking for work. You can't boost the minimum wage on jobs that don't exist.
Better yet, these people are "Obama's people". They're from his home town. Ground zero, if you will and nothing has changed.

There is another link. It is full of other black people who are fed up! They are tired of being lied too by the government. They are tired of waiting and they are tired of the administration laying blame.
It's funny to me that Trayvon Martin "could have been" Obama's son and these people who could be Obama's other relatives feel so negatively about the guy. These folks are asking for accountability. These folks whom I believe the government thinks is 'dumb enough to not notice" is watching all of the money getting funneled to political non-profits and is watching those people get richer while the people they claim to support are getting poorer.
That is the message. So go ahead and kill the messenger. It seems as if the liberals around here are always saying that it is the conservatives that are keeping minorities in the ghettos. That were racist and that we want to keep people repressed. Well, here are the people conservatives want to keep repressed (in the eyes of the liberal agenda) and frankly, they are done with the BS.
Come on liberals. This is your big chance! They very people you claim to care the most about are waiting your help.... You've got to be smart enough to know, (since they clearly said it in "black and white") they want help and not the same old same old.
Step up or step off. Admit this isn't working and get on board with figuring this out.

Blacks in support of Obama= TRUE DEMOCRATS
Blacks that don't support Obama= UNCLE TOMS
Liberal Sources= TRUTH
Conservative Sources = LIES
Pretty black & white to me (pun intended).
And the sad part is... this is really the way 'they' think.

I think its a bit funny that liberals are making fun of this guy or at least making note of him because he was arrested 11 times for protesting. On the other hand, they all fell in love with the "Occupy Movement".
Oh well, hypocrisy again. Never gets old. I know these people really want to save Mr. McKinley. They'd like to come up with a few more government programs that will do some wonderful things....

Tee hee hee. I knew there would be a strawman and a lot of duck and cover. More and more predictable as the days go by.
Nothing to see here, folks, the liberals have said it all ...
The slave of the democrats are only useful when it is to help anything they want. Other then that they are dismissed.
Oh the liberal ignorance is sticking its nose out again. So, because this man has been incarcerated, he's not allowed to have an opinion? If he were a liberal and were bashing 'whitey', you guys would love him.
More troubling, there were other black men in the video and apparently because there was one felon in the group, you've discredited the whole lot!
And mike, if he were "just another black man getting food stamps", you'd say he needs more help and you'd do everything you could to make sure he would vote for the liberal agenda.
Talk about hypocrisy. You two take the cake.

Oh boy...
I love you right wingers.
Here is a 6 time felon for violent crimes (armed robberies, aggravated battery, and burglaries) who did 20 years in prison and you guys characterize him as "disenfranchised" and extoll his opinion of black on black crime.
Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.
If he was a just another black man getting food stamps you wouldn't be nearly so forgiving.

Paul McKinnley certainly knows more about black on black crime than any white folk on this forum and he wasn't the only black person in the video, but of course, it's easy blow a little smoke and discredit the whole video based on one person and the fact that Glenn Beck presented it. That's totally incredible.
And I'm the one who is supposed to be misguided... that's laughable.
Selective Ignorance = Word of the Year:
"selective ignorance (noun): the practice of selectively ignoring distracting, irrelevant, or otherwise unnecessary information received, such as e-mails, news reports, etc.."
It's a prized trait in the business world as people who practice it can filter out the drivel they don't need on a day to day basis; works very well for parents, too, since we'd probably all have heart attacks if we knew everything our kids did.

Theres that mirror again. What about the other guys in the video? Not black enough for you? Is it because they aren't in Missouri?
Mike said it all.
Why did you not do YOUR research and not already know that? Because you hear what you want to hear.....Obviously. Glenn Beck should have been a clue. To most it is.
Im done here. Selective Ignorance is intolerable. Bye Bye Talk to yourselves all ya want now. I have had enuff.

Very calculated. If this man were praising the President, you'd listen up. But a black man who is disenfranchised with the whole situation is obviously part of another team.
"But you just want to believe the crap so everyone else is wrong, right?"
Looks like you're looking in the mirror for a change. It suits you.

Speak it Mike! Im glad someone on here knows whats up and what isnt. Geeze Us People!!!! But you just want to believe the crap so everyone else is wrong, right?
That black man did 20 years for 6 felony cinviction.
I'd say he might not be the guy to weigh ion on black on black crime.......unless he's giving tips on how to engage in it
Teeheehee

You said it...
I think what teko is alluding to is, those black men and their opinions could not be genuine, especially because someone like Glenn Beck drew some attention to it. I knew that would be the case.
Hmmmm, did you read what brice wrote?
Equally laughable...
rofl...So Krugman is not to be believed by you guys, and you offer us up a partisan piece by beck? seriously? rofl
Of course
Now that is funny! BECK????
Of course
Now that is funny! BECK????
There was a stubborn bit of data buried in the August jobs report released on Friday: The unemployment rate for blacks (11.4 percent)

U.S. third-quarter wage gains largest since 2008
5 hrs ago
U.S. labor costs rose more than expected in the third quarter as wages recorded their largest gain since 2008, a sign that a long-awaited pick-up in wage growth was underway.
The Employment Cost Index, the broadest measure of labor costs, increased 0.7 percent after advancing by the same margin in the second quarter, the Labor Department said on Friday.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the employment cost index increasing 0.5 percent in the July-September period.
Wages and salaries, which account for 70 percent of employment costs, rose 0.8 percent in the third quarter, the largest increase since the second quarter of 2008. They had gained 0.6 percent in the second quarter.
Federal Reserve officials view the ECI as one of the better measures of labor market slack.
Policymakers at the U.S. central bank on Wednesday gave a fairly upbeat assessment of the labor market, dropping their characterization of labor market slack as "significant" and replacing it with "gradually diminishing."
In the 12 months through September, labor costs increased 2.2 percent, the largest increase since the second quarter of 2011. They had increased 2.0 percent in the 12 months through June.
Wages and salaries were up 2.1 percent in the 12 months through September, the biggest rise since the first quarter of 2009, after increasing 1.8 percent in the 12 months through June.
Various surveys have been hinting at an acceleration in wage growth.
Benefit costs increased 0.6 percent in the July-September period. That followed a 1.0 percent gain in the second quarter.
They increased 2.4 percent in the 12 months through September after rising 2.5 percent in the 12 months through June.
