I am Just As Black As They Come But I Am Not So Black That I Am Ignant, A Message To Black Candidates

It takes money for me to do what I do with The DCN News Blog/Online TV but folks act as if I owe them something. It tickles the hell out of me when folks don’t value my work but when they want my support I am the computer guru and all of that when they want my resources. And they think I am going to just stop what I am doing and help them work to get themselves in office, oh hell no. Now if they don’t support me now, why in the hell would I be ignant enough to help them because if they don’t support me now, why in the hell should I expect them to help me when they arrive.

Now I am just as damn black as it comes but I am not so damn black that I am ignant to the facts of where folks stand and what is going on around me. Some black folks lie and do all kinds of things during election time when they are running for office but talk about what the white man ain’t doing. Well sir and ma’am you ain’t no damn better than those whom you talk about.

This week I have purchased $180.00 worth of gas, $50.00 daughter’s car, $50.00 my car and $80.00 in a vehicle I borrowed while having daughter’s car repaired.

I have purchased one part for $250.00 and one for $119.00 and this is not counting labor for the person doing the repairs.

I run into folks who want me to help them by buying tickets for banquets, raffles and etc. but again they have never donated to The DCN TV/Online TV and these same folks in the Democratic Party have not supported me when I was nominated for office on the county level. Trust me it did not matter if they supported me because if I wanted a position I would have campaigned for it but what tickles the hell out of me is to watch how they vote. And then those same folks when they need me they want me to support them. You see that shows you how inferior they are of me because I know I am damn good at holding folks accountable in meetings and etc. because I am very much politically inclined and very, very knowledgeable of the process because I do my homework.

I have been very, very busy over the past couple of weeks attending workshops and other across the state and attending some local meetings in the county. I work a real job and then work at home downloading pictures and videos almost daily because it is so time consuming. I have 2 computers running and that still is not enough. I take my equipment everywhere I go so I can do a little work wherever I am if I am going to be at place 1 hour or more.

Well I am going to continue to educate folks about what is going on around them and at the same time I am not going to promote nor support folks who want to represent me and others when I know they are all about themselves and really don’t give a damn about the people. If you do you would tell us why you are running against another person, what they have not done and why you feel you are going to do more.

Well in my closing you don’t have to respond to me but remember I do not have to respond to you either. But what you need to remember is that I am an active black man and you are not going to just represent me in any kind of fashion. Since you say you are going to do more than those you are running against then I am going to hold you accountable.

Okay let the showdown begin. Are you ready? I am. I know why it is a good thing to have good people in office but I also know what I feel I can expect out of those who are running and want my support. And those who have not asked for my support I know what to expect from them also.

In my closing I am just a nobody but I do have The DCN TV/Online TV and I can be your friend or your worst nightmare. When you go messing with my future and my children’s future then you will hear from me. So if you have not heard from me, know that you will be hearing from me in the near future.

After The 8 Years Of The Bush/Cheney Disaster, –

Now, You Get Mad???

You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn’tget mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate Energy policy and push us to invade Iraq .

You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got ousted.

You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn’t get mad when we spent over 800 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn’t get mad when Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42 Presidents combined.

You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq .

You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn’t get mad when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.

You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst economic disaster since 1929 are all okay … but helping fellow Americans who are sick …Oh, H_ _l No!!

ps:
This one definitely needs to be circulated – just for a remindersake!

Instant analysis–Source: News & Observer

After seven weeks, the votes are in, counted and recounted. The result: Doug McCullough won the Nov. 2 election – the Instant Runoff election – for a seat on the state Court of Appeals. McCullough should make a good judge on the Appeals Court (he’s been there before, serving capably). Question is, should North Carolina elect to use Instant Runoff Voting in statewide races again?

Note: I totally agree 100%. This was instant “BULLMANURE” and everyone who pushed to do this election in that fashion is just that full of it. How in the hell can anyone feel good about this particular race? Nope I am not talking about because Judge Thigpen lead and then lost but because how do we know the total process was done correctly? Do we know if all the candidates received their right amount votes? Not a supporter of IRV now and never. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher

RALEIGH — Turns out the instant runoff in this year’s state Court of Appeals election isn’t so instant.

Voters must wait a month or more to learn the winner of the 13-way race for a seat on the court. Cressie Thigpen and John McCullough got the most votes and are automatically contenders in the runoff.

Counties will begin to tabulate the results of the runoff Nov. 29. State Board of Elections officials expect the results to be known that week. (Read more)

President Obama Takes Responsibility for Democrats’ Loss, Saying, ‘I’ve Got to Do a Better Job’– Source: ABC News

President Obama today said he would take "direct responsibility" for his party’s devastating losses in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

"It underscores for me that I’ve got to do a better job," he told a news conference from the East Room at the White House.

Obama said the election results, which shifted power to the Republicans in the House and left Democrats barely clinging to their majority in the Senate, confirmed what he had heard during his campaign push that took him across the country. (Read more)

Did we truly hear ‘the voice of the American people’, or was it the echo of FOX News? by Curtis Gatewood Guest Columnist

Perhaps Americans and President Barak Obama signed off on the notion that “The people have spoken” in Tuesday’s mid-term election, before taking the time to read what is hidden in small print. Are Sara Palin and the “Tea Party movement” truly representing the powerful voices of the American people, or were millions of Americans hypnotized by the magic of poli-tricks whereby the true “power” was camouflaged by journalistic smoke and mirrored lies. Look closer. I am convinced you will find Tuesday’s results came by way of Americans being fooled by deceitful hands (and words) that proved to be quicker than the mind and eyes.

Standing behind this smoke screen, you will find the largest media conglomerate in America who has the muscle, the might, and the motive to successfully pull off such a feat. I am referring to FOX News, which is part of News Corp, whose earnings climbed 36% in its fiscal first quarter of this year. On its top line, revenue increased to $7.43 billion.

News Corp is now undergoing the regulatory approval process for its proposed acquisition of the remaining 60.9% of British Sky Broadcasting Group that it does not already own, at a of price of $11.5 billion. By merging its wide array of media assets, it would expand News Corp, while other media companies struggle. Competitors and critics have objected to the deal, saying “it would give News Corp. outsized market power.”

FOX News already dominates all of their cable news competitors, including CNN and MSNBC through averaging 2.25 million primetime viewers daily.

Therefore, rather than succumbing to the thought the “American people have spoken”, I contend, the election brings into question, the extent of mental control media conglomerates such as News Corp have on its viewers through using repetitious, divisive, and biased 24 hour cable news programming.

I further contend, the election may prove the need for new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines to ensure such media conglomerates are not monopolizing the market and using its media muscle/dollars to control and circumvent mental freedom rather than responsibly providing facts that provoke free thinking. I am also not convinced FOX is doing all it can to minimize the reporting of distortions that needlessly exacerbate hatred, exclusion, violence, recruitment of domestic terrorists, and add gasoline onto racially motivated fire that puts the U.S. President and nation’s security at risk.

Far from being “Fair and Balanced” as claimed by its slogan, this mega-media phenomenon appears to violate the basic concept of democracy when using its multi-billion dollar empire and psychologically domineering multi-million-viewer powerbase, to push its own highly partisan agenda. Likewise, FOX has become similar to a massive ventriloquist who powerfully sits us on his lap, pulls the strings, and speaks the words of his own voice and agenda through the mouths of millions of American puppets who act upon and are subconsciously controlled by a FOX ingrained message.

Like foreign dictatorships, media conglomerates such as News Corp allow their programming such as FOX News to powerfully serve as a platform to strategically polarize, divide and ultimately conquer the poor and working class citizenry through the repetitious usage of race-baiting, fear-mongering, and other distasteful forms of demagoguery . This is strategically done in the interests of America’s or the world’s richest one percent , who realizes it would be impossible to control the other 99% of the people if their minds were truly free. I am reminded of Jesus’ of words, “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”

Since the emergence of Barack Obama as a serious contender for the oval office and ultimately throughout the duration of his 20 months serving as Commander-In-Chief, FOX has relentlessly used its stature as the nation’s most powerful media conglomerate, to wrongfully discredit, distort, and diminish the success of President Barack Obama.

The true voice of the American people have no vested interests in helping to exacerbate anger, magnify/amplify misinformation, provide fertile ground for White Supremacists, and drive millions to the polls to illogically reward the party of “NO”; recompense the party who has blatantly disrespected and refused to cooperate with the first African-American U.S. President; and give more power to the party who has shown no compassion for the working class, the poor, the oppressed, and proven to favor only the rich.

And most importantly, Tuesday’s election backwardly empowered the very party who for the last eight years, drove Americans into high rates of unemployment, increased poverty amongst children by more than 11 percent, created the most devastating economic recession since the Great Depression, and created unprecedented foreign policy/military disaster while wasting taxpayer dollars, lying, inflating the deficits, violating and rewriting the U.S. Constitution, and in other ways actually doing for 8 long years, everything the Tea Partiers and other so-called “Conservatives” are now deceitfully accusing President Obama of doing.

With this said, there is absolutely no way “the American People” won on Tuesday. However, we can see how Tuesday’s outcome will serve the interests of News Corp., FOX News, it’s wealthy share holders, the richest one percent, and others who have no compassion for poor children, diversity, livable wages, justice, and the well-being of the larger struggling population of Americans. Yes, I agree, on Tuesday, a certain voice spoke loud and clearly. However I adamantly disagree with the notion it was the “American people” who spoke. If we dared to dig deeper, if we dare to look beyond the mirrors and smoke, we will find, what we heard was a deranged, self-serving voice from the multibillion dollar News Corp speaking through millions of journalistically manipulated, angry American puppets.

Deep Rifts Divide Obama and G.O.P.– Source: The New York Times

WASHINGTON — President Obama and newly empowered Republican leaders professed a desire Wednesday to work together but yielded little ground on deep policy differences, foreshadowing the profound challenge of turning around a flagging economy under a divided government.

After what Mr. Obama described as an electoral “shellacking” for his party, the two sides gingerly explored the reshaped political terrain and sought to define Tuesday’s results. Republicans claimed a mandate to reverse Mr. Obama’s agenda while the president cast the vote as a cry of frustration that he has not moved fast enough. (Read more)

Earlier I Posted On FaceBook If You Don’t Vote, I Can Tell By Visiting The Board Of Elections Website. What I Have Found Out So Far Is Atleast One Person Is Voting In Edgecombe County Who Do Not Live Here.

It is a damn shame that we have black folks especially ministers who will lie so they can be a part of Edgecombe County Politics. This person so I have been told lives in Pitt County but he is voting in Edgecombe County. He is a major player in politics here. I don’t know where this person live but I do know he does not live where he says he live.

This is 2 ministers who are major players in politics in Edgecombe County who does not live where they say they live.

Hell yeah I am mad as hell because I have worked hard trying to make a difference here in Edgecombe County and I have had to deal with these pimps in the pulpit among poverty and other political pimps.

Well it is time for these pimps to sit down, shut the hell up and get the hell out of my way because you are not going to continue to hold us just where we are when you are in it for the money. I will not allow you to represent me and not expose you. I have worked too hard since the early 90’s.

These folks must be exposed.

11 races where black voters can make a big difference

People who believe their vote does not make a difference may be encouraged to know that in many close contests across the U.S., they have the power to sway the direction of the race.

There is a general consensus emerging that many voters of color are lacking enthusiasm this election season, with minority voters not expected to go to the polls with nearly the same level of participation as they did in 2008 — when President Obama was on the ballot. Nevertheless, African-Americans are well positioned to affect the outcome of as many as 20 House races, and 14 contests for Senate and Governor, according to David Bositis of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.
