West and Smiley haven’t come up with any solutions to the problem. Why? Because they don’t have any. They rather talk about poverty and expect for someone else to figure it out and then complain because he/she isn’t doing it fast enough.

Oh one more thing, what “crumbs” are you talking about?

There is a large segment of poor people in our community, so there is nothing wrong with shedding light on this segment of the population who rarely get any attention except on the negative things they do. Until we work together to solve our own problems, we will continue to rely on the crumbs we get, rather then the billions we spend with other groups to make them wealthy and happy.

Black Unity means financial independence and happiness

A man can be led to water but only he will decide if or when to drink!

Yes, Obama hasn’t addressed Poverty and the Black community like we feel that he should, however, many of his policies does address those issues. Romney has made it perfectly clear that he doesn’t care nor does he intend to do anything for us. And Gary Johnson’s policies doesn’t address poverty nor the Black Community at all.

If West and Smiley loves Black People they need to stop this ridiculous vendetta against Obama and start telling the TRUTH about why recovery has gone so slowly in the past 4 years. It’s not because Obama hasn’t tried, hell, I’m surprised that he got anything done at all.

Their claim that Obama is in pockets of the Oligarchs and Plutocrats is also a lie. Those people is pouring millions of dollars into the Romney campaign to defeat Obama. Cornel West may be too closed-minded to see that but Tavis, oh I think he knows it all too well. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Oligarchs and Plutocrats are financing this whole poverty tour.
