Leadership, This Is What Comes To Mind When I Think About How Black Folks Allow Mess To Go On But Think Things Are Going To Change. Safe Negroes I Got My Eyes On Them. Talking About Being Outraged? When? Where? Why?

Talking about being outraged when it comes to the Trayvon Martin case in Sanford Florida but then to not be outraged in your local communities and in your own state about issues and people is just ignant as hell. Many folks get outraged about issues and people outside of their local communities and state because they can play it safe. Safe Negroes is what I call them. I got my eyes on them.

On Saturday March 24, I went to Raleigh to the African American Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party General Body Meeting to see for myself just how they operate and most of all because they suppose to be about what is good for black folks. Well I try to keep up with folks who say they are trying to make things better for black folks.

I not only attended the meeting but videoed it and the video is available on The DCN TV so that those who didn’t attend can look at it from the convenience of their home. I was totally pissed because I get so sick and tired of black folks not handling business professionally and by their own By-laws, Constitution, Robert Rules of Order and etc.

Anyone whom has viewed the video ought to be outraged as hell. Not because of who the people are involved so much but outraged about the process. It is my opinion the process was not carried out properly because I don’t believe they followed their own By-laws, Constitution nor the Robert Rules of Order. It is my opinion that the meeting was illegal and totally out of order and control.

It is a damn shame black folks allow mess to go on in our communities and not hold those who do ignant mess accountable for their actions. It is not about liking the President nor the Secretary but should be all about being outraged how this meeting was conducted by a group of black folks who say they are leaders and about making things better for black folks. When things like this happens folks must set aside friendship and family and just do the right thing. Well I have come to the conclusion that the majority of the folks just ain’t going to do that.

But what tickles the hell out of me is that these same folks will talk about what our children are doing in the negative but hell we as adults ain’t together. Our children are watching us and they see we don’t hold each other accountable for our actions, do not promote good black folks (adults) so why should the children be held to a different standard. Our children live what they see and what I have seen when I first got involved in politics in the early 90’s is a bunch of mess. No respect for young folks who wants to get involved so the adults drive them away. But then the adults continue to talk about they don’t know what is wrong. Hell ya’ll ain’t that ignant just in denial or should I say scared? “If you are scared, say it!”

During the time of controversy is when the real, true leaders will take a stand. Please always remember these quotes by Miles Monroe on Inspirational Insights for the Frontline Leader;

"A title and position do not guarantee performance and productivity." "The greatest display of leadership is service." "Until you are willing to die for what you are living for, you cannot become a true leader." "The leader should not be motivated by, or greedy for money." "Leaders are men of faith, for faith is vision." "Leadership demands a commitment of service to others, a placing of the needs of others above our own." "If you are not willing to stand alone in your vision, not many will be willing to stand with you." "It is better to be criticized for action than to be ignored for non-action." "Leadership is lonely, because to lead means you must be out in front, ahead of the followers." "No true leader can expect to live a normal life as other people do." "Leaders belong to their generation and not to themselves." "If you do not want to be criticized, then decide to do nothing in life." "A leaders who knows who he is does not depend on others to validate his sense of self-worth." "True leaders never forget from whence they came, and live to bring others to where they are." One of the greatest dangers to leaders is the temptation to measure all others by oneself." "The true leader does not measure his success by comparing himself with others, but with his own purpose and vision."

My response: Now as I grow older, I pay less attention to what black folks say. I just watch what they do. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher

It Is A Damn Shame That Black Folks Want Me To Provide A Service For Them But For Free

On Sunday I received a message from my cousin telling me that someone at his church wanted to know if I could video a program for them today. I told them I would get back with them. I prepared something and sent it to him for him to send it to her. However she could have contacted me but no she wanted me to do it for free. My cousin said he would get back with me on Tuesday but it was Wednesday. So I am suppose to wait on black folks who want me to provide a service for free. I was contacted less than a week before the event and then got to take 3 days to think about it. Hell it is not like they don’t know my work because if they didn’t they would not have contacted me.

In my prepared information to them I made them aware that I had just ordered a video camera on the same day Sunday and I paid a little more to make sure I got in with 2 days.

This same female pulled this same old scheme when she was a member at a church in Pinetops. She had someone else to call me and then she ended up calling trying to get me to do it for free. A copy of days ago she had the audacity to do the same thing again.

Well my friend do not ever ask anyone to call me again about videoing an event at a church you are a member. Also don’t you ever call. I don’t have time to play games. You pay the white man for what you want but then you expect me to do it for free when I am using my equipment, burning my gas and not including my time that I could be doing something else.

Democrats SHOULD want more Americans – not JUST African-Americans – registered and voting. Why are they so hung up on color? Sheesh!
And what’s with a group named "African-American Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party"? Can you imagine what the community would think and say if the Republican party created a group by the name of "The White Caucus of the North Carolina Republican Party"? It would be vilified and RIGHTFULLY SO! Of course, the GOP would never create a group like that. It’s creepy and un-American. Yet, the GOP is accused of racism all the time (w/o proof), while the Dems pull the race-card day in and day out and are given a pass. It’s ridiculous!

Just ignant as hell. I get so sick and tired of if white folks call themselves this and call themselves that, but who are in control of These United States.

To say that Republicans are accused of racism without proof is too damn ignant because their actions shows racism daily as they cut this and cut that in which the cuts are directed towards BLACK folks. It do not take a damn rocket scientist to see who the Republicans are targeting.

I am more interested in who run corporate American than I am who is the President of these United States.

Don’t get mad because I am black and I identify myself with what is black because I recognize and understand that when black folks do better all folks benefit.

Black Folks Better Come Together Like Never Before In 2012. Will You Seek The Facts Or Will You Be Bamboozled?

We are where I knew we would be as it relates to a Black President not being accepted by racist white folks however what I didn’t think was going to happen was we would allow the Republicans to take over locally and nationally. We must be in the majority to make things happen so therefore we must be in control of the House and Senate on the local and national levels. However when we are in control we must still hold them accountable for their actions.

I knew there would be some blacks who would not accept having a Black President also because hell many blacks didn’t accept Dr. Martin L. King when he was alive but today those same safe Negroes are all about him. This is how the safe Negroes of today will be years from now when President Obama is not in office.

Black Folks And Politics

When it comes to dialogue I am so glad that I don’t hold personal grudges against folks when I feel they are doing something good for all. If that was not the case I would not support most folks that I know who are community leaders, politicians, ministers and the list goes on because in my opinion many of them are full of bullmanure. But I will not support ignorance no matter who it is for or against. Curmilus Dancy II – The Political Agitator
