Have you lost your fracking minds?
And no you don't deserve to be called Black of African-American if you're considering something so disrespectful to the memory of our ancestors who fought, marched, organized, bled and died for you to have the ability to cast a ballot.
You may want to reconsider that asinine plan and make sure your ass is standing in line on November 6 or during the early voting period in your state ready, willing and able to do your patriotic duty for your people and your country. .
Mitt Romney belongs to a faith which has had such a contentious history with our people the LDS church was frequently protested about its
racist doctrine until it was changed in 1978.
His silence when fellow Republicans Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich on the campaign trail were gleefully diving into the dog whistle racism aimed at African Americans have led to this comment from a satirical website being circulated in the Afrosphere as something Willard actually said.
"I understand how difficult it can be for an African-American in today's society. In fact, I can relate to black people very well indeed. My ancestors once owned slaves, and it is in my lineage to work closely with the black community. However, just because they were freed over a century ago doesn't mean they can now be freeloaders. They need to be told to work hard, and the incentives just aren't there for them anymore. When I'm president I plan to work closely with the black community to bring a sense of pride and work ethic back into view for them".
Mitt Romney.
But then again the self-deportation thing before it became part of Mitt's 'severely conservative' primary campaign was once part of a satirical post aimed at former California governor Pete Wilson (R) for his anti-Latino stances.
But back to focusing on Mitt. There are other ways to call his behind out without dogging the LDS Church. The fact that he's straight up lying to get the presidency and has no core principles other than he'll do and say anything to get elected is a major pet peeve.
If you allow Mitt and his clueless wife to on January 20, 2013 move into that nice house our ancestors built at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave with their unpaid labor because your asses were too lazy to go to the polls, you deserve everything the Republicans are going to throw at you policy wise and I don't want to hear your sorry mouths utter one word in complaint when it happens.
But the country, our children and our people don't deserve to suffer for your stupidity either, so I'm going to try to make an appeal to you based on our shared community history.
The point is the Department of Justice, the NAACP and countless other organizations are working tirelessly to ensure you have the ability and opportunity to cast a ballot in this upcoming election despite the best efforts of ALEC, the Republican Party and the millions of dollars they invested to suppress our votes.
You saying some stupid ish like that makes them smile.
Are you mad because the change he promised in 2008 didn't happen fast enough for you? Were you paying attention in 2009 when Sen Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said the goal of the Republican Party was to make him a one term president? Were you paying attention to all the 'massive resistance' that the POTUS has faced from the congressional Republicans since then?
And I do believe the 2008 slogan he campaigned on was 'Yes WE can', not 'Yes I can'. He is the POTUS, not King Barack I. He needs help from Congress to get his agenda passed and he hasn't had that since some of y'all stupidly sat out the 2010 midterm elections in protest and allowed the Tea Klux Klan to get control of the US House..
Sitting out the 2012 election is a vote for Mitt Romney and the Republican Party and if you haven't figured it out by now, the Republicans only care about wealthy white people like Mitt, not you..
And yeah, I and a lot of other people in this community like having a POTUS and FLOTUS that shares our ethnic background and want to see them continuing to represent our nation until January 20, 2017.
But what we want even more is these Tea Klux Klan sellouts like Allen West gone along with his racist buds and return the adults back to the halls of Congress to help solve the country's problems .
So you can be Boo Boo the Fool if you wanna be, but if you wish to have a government that works for you and your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews....you get the drift, then you better run, not walk to the nearest polling place in this election and every one that happens from now on and ensure that you're putting not only President Obama back in the White House, but give him a Democratic congress to work with to continue cleaning up the GOP mess that GW Bush left him.
And while you're at it, you need to be kicking everything with an (R) beside his or her name at the state, local and federal level and in the judicial branches out of office too and keep them out.
Until they expunge that Tea Klux Klan element out of their party, the only good GOP politician is an out of office one.
You have time to get registered to vote in your locales, get ready to do your duty on November 6, and vote as if your life depended on it.
Because frankly, it does.
I agree with the spirit, but the Romney "quote" is actually satire: http://www.snopes.com/politics/romney/blackcommunity.asp
