Newt Gingrich is playing racial politics and he is playing to win. First he says that black children should get jobs as janitors (why not suggest they get the same consulting contract he did at Freddie Mac - I'm with Mitt Romney here, what did Gingrich tell Freddie Mac that was worth more than a million dollars). Then he says that he wants to tell the NAACP that we should demand jobs, not food stamps. He so bristles at Fox commentator Juan Williams that he gets a standing O in South Carolina. And he has repeatedly described President Barack Obama as a "food stamp" President. It's race baiting, pure and simple, and few have called him on it.

Thursday, January 12, I had the distinct honor of conversing with two extremely intelligent brothers, Tony McClean and Micheal Ingram, on their LA Batchelor Pad radio show. The initial topic of conversation was my recent article concerning the so-called educators in Gwinnett County, Georgia using slavery in math equations; but, as what generally happens when like-minds gather in a provocative brain-storm, we touched on a wide range of important issues affecting Black America, specifically the African-American community.
Listen in as we address slavery, the "Angry Black Woman" myth, reparations, complacency and assimilation in the African-American community, among other topics.
George Lucas made an appearance on The Daily Show last night and said what most black people in Hollywood have been saying for years: It’s hard to get funding for black movies because they’re, well – black. It’s not because black scripts are poorly written that they are difficult to fund, but because there’s no role in an all black script for a white lead.

While no one seems to know who did what, there is an accusation that the words of Harry Belafonte about President Obama were censored on the national distribution of the Smiley & West radio show. It is not alleged that Tavis Smiley or Cornel West played any role in the censorship, but it is being alleged that the segment was snipped down, with many of Belafonte’s remarks being chopped out of the segment.
Here is a quote of what Belafonte said about Obama and the audio is below:

As President Obama prepares for the election year ahead, the White House is getting a changing of the guard. William Daley is stepping out as the president’s chief of staff and being replaced by Budget Director Jack Lew.
