		<description>SENATOR OBAMA, PLEASE TELL AMERICA YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS AMERICAN JUDICIAL INJUSTICE ???

LETS ALL HOPE OUR MEDIA FRIENDS ALSO SHOW AN INTEREST IN REPORTING ON THIS AMERICAN HORROR FACING THESE (TENS OF THOUSANDS) FORGOTTEN AND TRAPPED POORER AMERICANS, AND HOW THIS PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER HANDLES THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE FACING AMERICA&#039;S LATINO AND BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ????

**WITH 80% OF THE BLACK AMERICAN VOTERS SAYING THEY SUPPORT SENATOR OBAMA IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, IT IS ONLY FAIR FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW PRIOR BEING ELECTED OUR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HOW THIS DEMOCRATIC SENATOR TRULY FEELS ABOUT THIS AMERICAN JUDICIAL HORROR CONTINUING TO INFLICT GRAVE HARM ON THE BLACK AMERICAN FAMILIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE ??????

*** WHEN GOD&#039;S FACE BECAME VERY RED ***
THE US SUPREME COURT GAVE ENEMY COMBATANTS FEDERAL APPEAL HC RIGHTS LAWYERS AND PROPER ACCESS TO US FEDERAL COURTS,AND POORER AMERICANS (MANY EVEN ON DEATH ROW) ARE DENIED PROPER FEDERAL APPEAL LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO OUR US FEDERAL COURTS OF APPEAL, AND ROTTING IN AMERICAN PRISONS NATIONWIDE ?????????

**** INNOCENT AMERICANS ARE DENIED REAL HC RIGHTS WITH THEIR FEDERAL APPEALS !
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE $LOWLY FINDING OUT HOW EA$Y IT I$ FOR MIDDLE CLA$$ AND WORKING POOR AMERICAN$ TO FALL VICTIM TO OUR U$ MONETARY JUDICIAL $Y$TEM.

****WHEN THE US INNOCENT WERE ABANDONED BY THE GUILTY ****
The prison experts have reported that there are 100,000 innocent Americans currently being falsely imprisoned along with the 2,300,000 total US prison population nationwide.

Since our US Congress has never afforded poor prison inmates federal appeal legal counsel for their federal retrials,they have effectively closed the doors on these tens of thousands of innocent citizens ever being capable of possibly exonerating themselves to regain their freedom through being granted new retrials.

This same exact unjust situation was happening in our Southern States when poor and mostly uneducated Black Americans were being falsely imprisoned for endless decades without the needed educational skills to properly submit their own written federal trial appeals.

This devious and deceptive judicial process of making our poor and innocent prison inmates formulate and write their own federal appeal legal cases for possible retrials on their state criminal cases,is still in effect today even though everyone in our US judicial system knows that without proper legal representation, these tens of thousands of innocent prison inmates will be denied their rightful opportunities of ever being granted new trials from our federal appeal judges!!

Sadly, the true US *legal* Federal Appeal situation that occurs when any of our uneducated American prison inmates are forced to attempt to submit their own written Federal Appeals (from our prisons nationwide) without the assistance of proper legal counsel, is that they all are in reality being denied their legitimate rights for Habeas Corpus and will win any future Supreme Court Case concerning this injustice!

For our judicial system and our US Congressional Leaders Of The Free World to continue to pretend that this is a real and fair opportunity for our American Middle Class and Working Poor Citizens, only delays the very needed future change of Federal Financing of all these Federal appeals becoming a normal formula of Our American judicial system.

It was not so very long ago that Public Defenders became a Reality in this country.Prior that legal reality taking place, their were also some who thought giving anyone charged with a crime a free lawyer was a waste of taxpayers $$.

This FACADE and HORROR of our Federal Appeal proce$$ is not worthy of the Greatest Country In The World!

***GREAT SOCIETIES THAT DO NOT PROTECT EVEN THEIR INNOCENT, BECOME THE GUILTY!

		<description>From the reply that was given to the Larry Johnson question I now know that, Yes Senator Obama WILL have the followers of Isham working for him. Even though Islam has two main goals at this time. The first is the destruction of Isreal. The second is the destruction of the United States. The leaders of Islam have stated many times that the only way to destroy the Great Satan is  from within.
     Senator Obama was raise in a Moslum country. It would be impossible for him not to have the teachings of Islam ingrained into his being.  I personally will not consider Senator Obama as anything other than a threat to this country until I see and hear him make a pledge to this country and none other. I also want to see his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Alliegence to this country. 
     Am I wrong or did I see the Senator get sworn into the senate with his hand on the Quran instead of the Bible? If he is a Christian why would he do this?
     I have been a die hard Democrat my whole life. I am very proud of that fact. This year will be the first time in many years that I will not be supporting the Democratic party. Unless my fears for our country are addressed I will campain in order to have anyone other than Senator Obama elected.
    To put this as blunt as possible. Is Senator Obama a member of or a supporter of Islam?  If he is elected president will he try to destroy us from within?  One thing I do know is that he cannot serve our country and Islam. May God help all or us.</description>

		<description>One of the things that bothers Dems about Dr. Farrakhan is that he refuses to be a victim.
And as her removes more and more AAs from victim status he is taking away clients for the old school type of Dem programs.  The more sucessful he is the more the comparison to old style programs comes up short for the dems.  When blacks are no longer self identifying as victims, there is no need for the old dem ways.  In his success is the threat to the &quot;white man&#039;s burden&quot; model of race and people relations.
The repubs hate him because he understands that a disarmed person is a slave.  He has no intention of letting blacks be disarmed by the government.
It is this last that puzzles me concerning his support for Senator Obama who is consistently in favour of victim disarmament.
So while his rhetoric is firey and raises hackles, the NOI accomplishments are far from nugatory and every white dem hates his and the NOI successes.
Have you seen the latest figures for imprisonment in the United States.  1% of the total population is imprisoned the vast vast majority for criminalization of what is at worst personal private vices; not crimes against persons or property.  But when you dig into the figures, the proportions of the imprisoned versus their proportion in the population is way way off.  11+% of black males between 20 and 34 are in prison, black males between those ages do no make up 11+% of the US population.  The ONLY presidential candidate to talk about this issue was Ron Paul and he is for blanket pardoning of folks imprisoned for being victims of victimless crimes in the failed drug war.  Farrakhan&#039;s success threaten this source of slave labour for the private and public prison systems. 1 in 100 black women between 35 and 39 imprisoned, 1 in 355 white women in that same age group imprisoned.  McCain&#039;s wife gets a few months in a BettyFordOMat for stealing mass quantities of drugs from her own private charity, any random black lady who did the same would do life without in some 6x6 barred room.  I don&#039;t have any problem with Dr. Farrakhan leading black men and women out of this kind of situation.</description>

		<description>What upsets me the most about Obama&#039;s supporters is their inabiliity to have a rational discussion based around a parallel construction. When people compare apples to computers and try to justify it by saying that since there&#039;s a computer company called Apple, therefore, we can make a comparison, it makes me question that person&#039;s ability to reason.  An 84 year old Hispanic woman commenting on what&#039;s being said in the latino community is clearly not the same as being a member of any organized group noted for hate speak. If you believe that then go take a bite out of your Apple computer and have a nice snack.

As an AA Hillary supporter who is bilingual, I can tell you for a fact stuff like this gets said in the latino community. Does every latino feel this way? No. The same way a lot of whites will not hold Obama&#039;s race against him. But, there are whites who will. Can candidates be responsible for every single supporters point of view? Of course not. But should candidates have paid members on their staff who have opinions and are actively involved in organizations whose ideology is founded on hate against a group or groups? They are free to do so just as supporters are free not to support and vote for elected officials who do. I doubt Jewish voters would vote for someone who had neo-nazi on their staff. And I don&#039;t blame them.

But this 84 year old hispanic woman does not belong to a hate  group.She&#039;s relaying what is said amongst her group. And I can verify that many latinos have made those same statements in my presence. So is Hillary suppose to get up and say what, I don&#039;t want the support of any latino who feels that way? That&#039;s as ludicrous as a candidate rejecting the support of blacks many of whom are homophobic. 

What people objecting to NOI should consider is this: don&#039;t let this become like the failed plagiarism charge. Like before, you&#039;re asking the wrong questions. Instead, first find out for sure how many NOI people are either paid or volunteer staff. Then ask, what I believe to be the most pertinent question, and one as an AA I would like answered, since when did the NOI and Minister Louis Farrakhan been given mainstream acceptibility to the point that it&#039;s a non issue in a major campaign? That&#039;s certainly news to me. It certainly didn&#039;t work that way for Jesse Jackson and Ben Travis. And what about Arsenio Hall? In the 90&#039;s Hall hosted a popular late night talk show that was doing pretty good in the ratings for a syndicated show until Hall insisted on interviewing Farrakhan on the heels of the famous &#039;Million Man March.&#039; After that interview, advertisers pulled out as sponsors and ultimately his show was cancelled. And it was not due to just a drop in viewers because he had a large AA audience who could care less about Farrakhan. The rug was pulled out from under Hall and his career went down the tubes. So when did folks get so relaxed about NOI and Farrakhan? 

&lt;strong&gt;Pay attention people: ask the right questions!&lt;/strong&gt; The length of these comments arguing back and forth over apples and computers should give you a clue that you are not focusing on the right things.

What&#039;s interesting to this AA Hillary supporter is that not only won&#039;t Obama reject or denounce Farrakhan, but also that his commitment to black issues remains a mystery. Supposedly because he doesn&#039;t want to be seen as the &lt;strong&gt;black candidate&lt;/strong&gt;. But yet, he doesn&#039;t mind speculation about his connection to NOI and Farrakhan? How does this not connect him to not just race, but to racial hatred? 

I, for one would like the Senator to answer these questions.

P.S.

It&#039;s long been a rumor that Farrakhan and his splinter NOI faction assasinated Malcolm X with &#039;cooperation&#039; from the gov&#039;t. Is this true? Who knows? I do know Malcolm&#039;s widow would have nothing to do with Farrakhan and that many members in the AA community do not like him for this reason. But a lot of younger blacks don&#039;t have this info.</description>

And I can verify that many latinos have made those same statements in my presence. So is Hillary suppose to get up and say what, I don&#8217;t want the support of any latino who feels that way? That&#8217;s as ludicrous as a candidate rejecting the support of blacks many of whom are homophobic. </p>
<p>What people objecting to NOI should consider is this: don&#8217;t let this become like the failed plagiarism charge. Like before, you&#8217;re asking the wrong questions. Instead, first find out for sure how many NOI people are either paid or volunteer staff. Then ask, what I believe to be the most pertinent question, and one as an AA I would like answered, since when did the NOI and Minister Louis Farrakhan been given mainstream acceptibility to the point that it&#8217;s a non issue in a major campaign? That&#8217;s certainly news to me. It certainly didn&#8217;t work that way for Jesse Jackson and Ben Travis. And what about Arsenio Hall? In the 90&#8217;s Hall hosted a popular late night talk show that was doing pretty good in the ratings for a syndicated show until Hall insisted on interviewing Farrakhan on the heels of the famous &#8216;Million Man March.&#8217; After that interview, advertisers pulled out as sponsors and ultimately his show was cancelled. And it was not due to just a drop in viewers because he had a large AA audience who could care less about Farrakhan. The rug was pulled out from under Hall and his career went down the tubes. So when did folks get so relaxed about NOI and Farrakhan? </p>
<p><strong>Pay attention people: ask the right questions!</strong> The length of these comments arguing back and forth over apples and computers should give you a clue that you are not focusing on the right things.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s interesting to this AA Hillary supporter is that not only won&#8217;t Obama reject or denounce Farrakhan, but also that his commitment to black issues remains a mystery. Supposedly because he doesn&#8217;t want to be seen as the <strong>black candidate</strong>. But yet, he doesn&#8217;t mind speculation about his connection to NOI and Farrakhan? How does this not connect him to not just race, but to racial hatred? </p>
<p>I, for one would like the Senator to answer these questions.</p>
<p>P.S.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s long been a rumor that Farrakhan and his splinter NOI faction assasinated Malcolm X with &#8216;cooperation&#8217; from the gov&#8217;t. Is this true? Who knows? I do know Malcolm&#8217;s widow would have nothing to do with Farrakhan and that many members in the AA community do not like him for this reason. But a lot of younger blacks don&#8217;t have this info.</p>

		<description>MLK started talking about class and poverty instead of just talking about race.  He was killed.
Malcolm X returned from his Hajj and started talking about class and poverty and inclusion.
He was killed.
It is not a safe thing to talk class or poverty in this country in an inclusionary way.  Just would not do to have whites and blacks realize how the american class system works against them.</description>

		<description>Not the point I making CK. I was recalling the adverse reaction in my neck of the woods growing up. Still, I don&#039;t believe MLK met his tragic fate via a lone gun man.</description>

		<description>Chris XP:

Okay let&#039;s get back to the basics regarding Biology vs. Destiny.  If you want men and women to do equal work, let men birth their own children. Let them give birth to the children of men through their anal vaginas. Let them go through days of labor and then succumb to unnecessary C-Sections.  I say let them suckle their young via their underdeveloped mammary glands. 

Go and birth a few children, the people of this planet, then go thank a mother not a motherfucker.</description>

		<description>Would depend on of what they were being accused.
And yes Duke&#039;s people would get a pass from the NQ folks if the Duke senior staffers were on McCain&#039;s staff, just like McCain&#039;s having associated himself with the Haggee folks will get a pass here.
As an american citizen, one does not need the approval of a candidate to support that candidate.  Now I would just take it for granted that a group supporting Black separatism would either support a Black candidate against a white or condemn both for being part of the problem.  I would not expect a black separatist group to support a Mccain or a Clinton.  I didn&#039;t know that Allah had a chosen group of gaybashers.  I have not seen a lot of reportage on NOI members being arrested or accused of bashing gays.  Mostly I see that sort of stuff from Boston or Wyoming.  White, religious, boys bashing white boys.  Maybe it is the strictures in the Torah, the New Testament and the Quoran against the wasting of one&#039;s seed that are getting all confused here.
Nice thing about being a secular type is that one can pick and choose the parts of the Books that one wishes to despise and the parts one wishes to praise.  Leviticus 17-26 comes to mind.</description>
