Why is it that the white control media when ever stating progress of the Obama administration! THERE IS A BUT! Always a negative ending to positive progress of the Obama administration! The truth President Obama in just two years three months in office! He has done more then all 43 prior Presidents in the same time period!  Matter of fact………President dealt with two wars and a surplus and a economic that was headed downward! &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">tyrone321</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 02 Jan 2011 17:10:20 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top Ten Black Blogs for June 2008</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/07/top-ten-black-blogs-for-june-2008/#comment-123272004</link><description>&lt;p&gt;THE WAY AMERICA WORKS&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In America if you are born black you can be treated like garbage! You can live in New Jersey and if a black commit a crime in California. ALL BLACKS ARE BLAME!!! Hi OJ” The way that is able to happen is by demonizing black people and associating anything bad with all black people! From the very young to the very old and in many cases before a black child is born! Shamefully this is the way America has worked forever! Discrimination and pure hatred towards blacks continue today because of the pass taught hatred towards blacks!  This evil had led to self hatred and a low moral belief system in many black community! Some black people think that white people are better than them! Many white people also feel that they are better than black people! Americans that are stupid enough to think just because of the first election of a black person. Things are different! WRONG! President Obama has done more for the American people then all 43 white pass American Presidents in his first two years! BUT he is demonize and disrespected and called a racist and a socialist for passing a healthcare reform plan! A plan that will benefit nearly 30 million Americans. Republicans and the white control media refer to the healthcare plan as Obamacare! Now former WHITE Governor of Boston Mass. Pass a healthcare reform plan as Governor. He was not called a racist or socialist nor did the white control media refer to his plan as Romerycare! Former WHITE President G.W. Bush turn a surplus into debt! Started two wars and cause the needless death of 4,400 plus American troops in Iraq! A war that should have NEVER been started! Former WHITE President Clinton allowed 74 Americans to be murder in WACO. Cheated on his wife while Governor and as President!  President Obama has done NOTHING like these two WHITE Presidents! BUT is demonize the belittle by Republicans and the white control media! &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">tyrone321</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 02 Jan 2011 16:53:13 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top Ten Black Blogs for June 2008</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/07/top-ten-black-blogs-for-june-2008/#comment-123271272</link><description>&lt;p&gt;IT WORKED&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today as in the pass black Americans are treated less then human! Yes you hear IT IS BETTER TODAY! But that “it” is evil for the next generation of  black Americans! So “it” may be better BUT “it” is still a horrible evil for this generation of black Americans TODAY! Yesterday slavery was EVIL! Sharecropping was EVIL! Segregation was EVIL! Jim Crow was EVIL! Discrimination is EVIL! Police brutality is EVIL! HATRED &amp;amp; DEMEANING black Americans is EVIL! Demonizing black people is responsible and allows white cops to murder unarmed black children and adults. AND NO ONE CARES!!!!  Especially black men! Young black Ayiana Jones was just 7 years old! Sleeping when a white Detroit police. First threw a flash bomb which burn the sleeping child then shot her DEAD! These story are repeated all over the country. The police officers response is TO-BAD-SO-SAD….Bottom line you are the hated people GET OVER IT!!!! OR you lived in a bad neighborhood OR cops have to make split second decision.  The murderer is more often a white male cop! The victim is more often a black unarmed male! Many times after the murder of the unarmed black male. There is outrage from the black community. There may be a march. The black victim family may get some TV time! Then it’s over and black America waits for the next shooting of anther black unarmed American! The white cop or cops are back to worked before the body is in the ground or out the hospital! So bottom line IT WORKED!!! Demonizing black people treating blacks like garbage has WORKED! Because there had been nothing done to change the evil! But in some states our elected official have found the time to make saggy pants a crime! Politician have the nerve to find time to write a bill for saggy pants. Which really is a attack on black males! Murder of unarmed sleeping black children/ The politician have done NOTHING!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">tyrone321</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 02 Jan 2011 16:52:27 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top Ten Black Blogs for June 2008</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/07/top-ten-black-blogs-for-june-2008/#comment-123268048</link><description>&lt;p&gt;WHITE AMERICANS AGAINST AMERICA&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m 52 years old and for as long as I been alive and before! White Americans have vote against Americans and America! Voted for segregation voted for Jim Crow Laws! Participated in enslaving human being in America. Creating the first welfare system for whites only! Approved by a all white government in America!  White American voted for racist and  discriminated policy against Americans! This has been the history of whites in America! Whites in Boston Mass. Voted against healthcare reform by voting in a Senator they thought would vote the plan down for 30 million America! The same plan that Boston Mass resident voted for under former Governor Willard Mitt Romney!  By the way Mr. Romney was never called a socialist nor was his plan refer to as Romneycare! So it is no surprise that whites voted against the country recovery in the midterm election! After spending double what President Obama spent in his first term as President. White voted former President G. W Bush back in office for a second term! White American embrace Bush after starting a war in Iraq for NOTHING! After turning a surplus into debt! America will never correct itself nor will we as a people go forward. Not until we identify our evil and put a light on the evil! White Republicans prove my point by voting against any and every bill President Obama thought of! Even bills that they where for! Voting for the rich and the richest! &lt;br&gt;When the white control media tells the truth and report the evil of white police brutality against black people! In NY and Philly the Stop&amp;amp; Frisk policy which is attack and disrespect black people! Children as young as 8 years old are stopped and made to drop their trousers and take off their shoes! All in front of the public! Where in the report of this horrible treatment of children???&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">tyrone321</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 02 Jan 2011 16:49:02 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top Ten Black Blogs for June 2008</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/07/top-ten-black-blogs-for-june-2008/#comment-123267084</link><description>&lt;p&gt;IN OUR AMERICA&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This morning just a day after Christmas  I watch “This Week?/ Christiane  Amanpour”. She reported on men and woman of the military returning from Iraq and Afghanistan! Many are facing homelessness  dealing with injury physical and mental. Shamefully the Republicans politician that started these wars vote against the country and the military! Veterans returning home 25% are homeless many women. 35% facing divorce 40% suffering either metal or physical injuries! 20% unemployment! Republican while in charge create this evil and did nothing to correct or prevent! Today President Obama is fixing and correcting their mess. The republicans are criticizing  anything and everything President has done! The responders of 9/11 that are now suffering from illness that are a result of there work. President Obama had to fight with Republicans to get them special metical coverage. Fire fighter police officers are now fighting disease directly associate to responding to 9/11! The midterm electing was a disgrace to America! Many white American voted against the President and America! Base on the President’s race! Now you will not hear that from the white control media but what you will hear is. The American people are against everything President Obama has done! The white control media will quote all these negative  polls! Shamefully this evil happens in our America!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">tyrone321</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 02 Jan 2011 16:48:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top Ten Black Blogs for June 2008</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/07/top-ten-black-blogs-for-june-2008/#comment-816181</link><description>&lt;p&gt;good look folk&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">rawdawgbuffalo</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 20:18:48 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top Ten Black Blogs for June 2008</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/07/top-ten-black-blogs-for-june-2008/#comment-806366</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I am always honored to be included in this list!

But I think it would be more accurate to say that these bloggers are credentialed to "visitT the floor for 30-45 minutes at a time, rather than to "be" on the floor, since it is the separate class of all-white state blogs that are credentialed to "be on the floor" for the entire Convention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, what difference does this make?   I guess it's like the difference between being a member of the US Senate and having a pass to visit the US Senate, or being the owner of the store versus being a customer of the store.  Yes, both are able to be in the store at times, and touch the merchandise, but in completely different capacities.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Francislholland</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:30:06 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top Ten Black Blogs for June 2008</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/07/top-ten-black-blogs-for-june-2008/#comment-795174</link><description>&lt;p&gt;to a deeelux blog in tha in-ta- net! &lt;br&gt; Congrats ya'll, you've really been a great help in finding so many great writers and observers of what's going on in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;oh and I've been a fan of Jill from the writing and hearing her on News&amp;amp;Notes, but after seeing that picture, I'm caught up!  super smart and super fine.  &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">MrCee</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:44:59 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top Ten Black Blogs for June 2008</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/07/top-ten-black-blogs-for-june-2008/#comment-795051</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Movin' On Up&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, and well deserved&lt;b&gt;!!!&lt;/b&gt; Congrats!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Karmi</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:24:30 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top Ten Black Blogs for June 2008</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/07/top-ten-black-blogs-for-june-2008/#comment-794994</link><description>&lt;p&gt;i am Angela...as I am Hussein..I am also Michigander2....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;will one of you savvy types help me get rid of Michigander2 so I can be id'd as Angela?????????&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Michigander2</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:13:48 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top Ten Black Blogs for June 2008</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/07/top-ten-black-blogs-for-june-2008/#comment-794983</link><description>&lt;p&gt;congrats...you deserve the recognition&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Angela&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Michigander2</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:10:59 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top Ten Black Blogs for June 2008</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/07/top-ten-black-blogs-for-june-2008/#comment-794510</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Congrats, JJP, for real.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I read you first, every morning.
