It was embarrassing for me witnessing the many African Americans who attacked them all as sellouts and coons….even allowing faux white liberal allies to join in the fray with no pushback, only a cacaphony of high fives in agreement. NFL Hall of Famer, Jim Brown who’s arguably off field heroism as an activist is unprecedented, once invited 100’s of LA gang members (Crips & Bloods) to his home to work through rival gang issues, was also attacked and ridiculed. Brown who’s proven activism for decades has worked tirelesly through his Ameri-I-Can Foundation that works to not only stop the violence but teach youth self pride and responsibilty. If any of those men deserve our respect, it’s Jim Brown, who’s committed his life to uplifting the black community.

“I was doing economic development for minorities. I was getting black folks to use their dollars to help each other. I looked up and saw black men killing each other over red and blue. Until we did something about that, there was no use for economic development.”~Jim Brown

Amer-I-Can has touched the lives of gang members, prison inmates, ex-cons, at-risk kids and thousands of other people since Brown founded it over 30 years ago. It operates programs in more than a dozen states, including New York and New Jersey. Even with all that he’s done, all of this was quickly erased from the minds of African Americans who knew clearly the history of the man we once lauded and praised.

Sadly, that same chorus of hate and anger was not yelled from the labyrinth of liberal doors when Chicago’s Mayor, Rahm Emanuel met with the soon to be POTUS last week to discuss Sanctuary Cities for Illegal Immigrants as his own citizens of color live in a nightmare of gun violence and murder. Yes Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s former Chief of Staff and the man who was caught covering up the murder of LaQuan McDonald by Chicago’s police. There was no outcry from liberals or black misleadership to question his thought process as poor blacks in Chicago live in constant fear. Chicago has reached a sad milestone with over 700 murders this year http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-violence-700-homicides-met-20161201-story.html. With this sad revelation, Rahm didn’t meet with Trump on justice reform or economic empowerment to slow the bleeding of his citizens but instead on ways to keep billions set aside for illegal aliens and their protection.

I also never saw this type of hate when Al Gore, Bill Gates and the many other white liberal icons made their way to the golden towers to discuss issues that were important to them and their causes. Yet African Americans are shunned when they don’t adhere to the democrats plantation of political slavery that black voters belong solely to them. We are not allowed to play the same political game that every other ethnic group plays, how dare we think that we can be politically savvy enough to demand a seat at the table of whomever is in office. How dare we decide to free ourselves of group think and mind control from decades of democratic conditioning. I’ve said ad nauseam, as African Americans we can demand a seat at the table of the current administrations or we can continue to allow our blind anger to keep us outside looking in and as usual on the menu’s of both Democrats and Republicans castaways for profit.

Nothing was more amusing & hypocritical than to read singer John Legend’s attacking of Kanye West’s, meeting with Trump as nothing more than a ‘publicity stunt’. The same John Legend who’s wife Chrissy Teigen never misses a chance to show the world her naked publicity stunts and attention seeking ploys to stay relevent or one up the latest thot that threatens her space in the era of the Khardashian’s show all selfie reality world.
