I sure hope somebody can provide the details because I don't think any of us black folks got the bullet pointed memo.

While this may sound very racist and anger many people, to me the "Black Agenda" means keeping nearly 20% of the American people "down on the plantation." Many of the benefactors of such an agenda being the likes of the noted men who put "Rev" in front of their names.

Black, White, Yellow, or Red; I believe all American's want to be considered valuable for more than their vote. I am tired of seeing young black American's buried because of the "agenda" which is totally about keeping people from desiring success by blaming "ALL" the ills of American's on other American's rather than taking personal responsibility and truly leading. Let's not forget the great sacrifices of so many to give us what we have today.

I think one of my favorite historical facts involves the Tuskeegee Airmen. That group of young men who could not sit in the front of the bus at home, didn't feel sorry for themselves, took all the risks, learned, trained, and became so good at what they did that they never lost an escorted bomber in their responsibility to an enemy fighter.

No offense, but I think you are waaaaaaay off base on your assessment.

You don't offend, but like so many, you only say I am off base but you don't say why. This is not a feel like argument any more, it must be a total and complete discussion of all the issues. We can no longer hide from the great danger racism and all the excuses it carries are to the American way of life.

Yes I agree. Racism has gone from a no=no issue to a speak your mind issue becasue of this election. We are free at last to talk about a double standard on racism that is now politically correct.So far from what I see the black agenda is dividing the wealth whether you earn it or not and contimued afirmative action that favors blacks over whites.

Not sure what a "black agenda" is, but I know what racism is. Obama's pastor and lifelong mentor spewing hate against whites in the televised videos is racism. Farrakhan spewing hate against Jews is racism.
