    Right now, I'm more interested about the news that a Hillary-connected 527 is behind (Maggie Williams sits on the board) the "Lamont Williams" vote-suppression robocalls to blacks.

    That voter supression gambit is truly despicable.

    Even if it was a coincidence, it looks realllly bad. After everything I've seen though, I'm willing to be it wasn't a coincidence.

    Dr. Reynolds is a good woman. I will stand up for her name. I did her radio show and for what I know of her, she would take a hit to protect you, me, and all of us. She is not giving Barack a pass. And because she is a Clinton supporter, you automatically think she would hurt another Black Person.


    Well, when I was hurt and down --- people had beaten me up badly --- well, she and her business partner stood up for. That was years ago and it was unpopular. People don't like "Thinking Unconventional Black Women".



    So stop doing this, Rikyrah. Stop thinking everyone that is challenging Barack is out to help Hilary. I know that Dr. Reynolds did that as her duty of service to her ministry and social justice first in not allowing Barack to keep NOT DEFENDING his people, his faith, his pastor, and heritage he adopted.



    Dr. Barbara Reynolds woulf fight for you Rikyrah if she had to. She is that type of woman that fights for us even if she has to fight us along the way. Their is inconvenient coincidence she supports Hilary. That is something she is not going to apologize for or retract.



    I think it takes a nuanced mind to understand everything is not about doing Obama in. Even my campaign against Obama is not about doing him in. I am doing what I do to destroy him. We all do it out of love for our people. Frederick Douglass said to, "Agitate, agitate, agitate" and if you recognized, Frederick Douglass IV was in that audience too.



    Our people don't like the narrative and want to find ways to dispel what is staring at all of us in the face.



    Dr. Barbara Reynolds might be old-timey with technology and new ideas but she is fighter for her people. I feel proud to defend her.

    No one is trying to destroy him but his cult followers that don't care about his soul.


    This is tough love and it is not pretty...packaged...and nice and proper. This is gritty. Ride or die.

    Andrea,


    I know you and I see it differently. You know that I defended Dr. Wright. I see The NPC as a deliberate attack on Obama. You don't. Somehow he found a way for Moyers to not be an attack; the NAACP Dinner was not an attack. The NPC WAS an attack. A deliberate attack.



    And yes, I have no trust of Black Hillary supporters...at all. I just don't..I admitted that long ago.
