Don't piss Your Black Audience Off
(..or wear this much makeup in a press shot) These are the people that have supported Tavis the most. He has been an advocate for the black community and then he attacked the first black president in the history of the US because he didn't accept an invitation to his event and opted to send Michelle instead. Tavis' innate dismay about this situation is evident to the point of appearing to be keen and unadulterated alleged jealousy. When his books didn't work, he decided to come after our President with his poor people's campaign. This one has us stomped. How in the hell does Tavis think poverty will end in this country? Has he not considered there are some people who REFUSE to grow, REFUSE to work and REFUSE to better themselves?
I side with Tavis. Tom Joyner, Al Sharpton and Steve Harvey are the sell outs. Al used to to criticise the President but has since beeen co-opted. Maybe when he changed his hairdo it changed more than his locks. Steve is a comedienne, propped up by ghost writers nuff said. Tavis raises real issues. It’s just sad our President is black and the recipient of his harsh but true criticism. We need to stand for truth and not popularity or ratings or money. If we would support truth tellrs then they would not have to bow to media moguls and in teh end true voices could be heard vice media and radio talking heads.
