Tariq is exactly doing what a small white elite wants him to do.
Raise hatred between black and white people, so they don't become allies against those who are truly evil.
I don't agree with the term white supremacy. That term includes all whites. It is a very small and select group of white males who orchestrate their own supremacy.
I prefer the term white male privelige.
I have certain valid points against his interpretation, and when you really are interested, let me know, I'll do my best to share my thoughts.
But on a broader scope of things:
Troughout the last 50 centuries, most European and Eastern-European, Asian and African societal structures consisted of:
a self- acclaimed leader,
who enforces his will on people,
by upgrading a small group over the rest of the people,
and have that elite group indoctrinate or force the rest of the people to obey.
This mechanism has proven to be very effective. Apparently there are always folks who want to feel better than the rest, and therefore enforce the will of the leader.
And people just pay taxes to this elite group, who gives it to their leader.
They do as they are told, they think that is the only way to survive.
Leader uses that tax for himself, his elite group and a very small amount he'll invest in establishing a positive image. Build a hospital or something.
When people would protest, leader would use psychological trics to keep them under control.
For example, religion has proven to be very effective to make people feel guilty about themselves and keep them in tune with the needs of the leader.
And because only the elite was able to write and read, it was easy to convince people that they were stupid and therefore had to do what the writing and reading elite wanted them to do.
Revolutions would start if the leader would take it too far and folks would starve.
So, what happened the last time?
It was late 1800 and the industrial revolution shook up the power and wealth. The distribution of recources became somewhat bigger.
Also, the circumstances for workmen changed.
And they emancipated.
Karl Marx wrote about distributing houses, food and shelter evenly among people. He figured that everybody should be treated equal and that the wealth should not go to a small elite.
Sociolists in France, Netherlands, Belgium etcetera gained popularity and changed the power structures. Democracies were born and socialism lead to a vast improvement of living conditions of the 95% of the people who did not belong to the 5% of the elite group and their leader.
Aristocracy got scared. Especially the men. For the women, there were positive changes. Society slowly adjusted their values about women.
The aristocratic white males had to do something, to secure their position.
So, they asked themselves what their forefathers would do. And they reread the book of Machiavelli. Divide and conquer.
The stock market plumeted, so people were desperate.
There was this guy Hitler, who was good in crowd control and dividing people. So, they enabled him. GI Farben was an effective mean for that. (German chemical company functioning as undercover company for spies)
No more time and energy for socialism or marxism. There was a big war.
After WWII, it was important to not let socialism or marxism get spread under the people. Because if that would happen, everybody would be equal and there would not be room for a rich and powerful elite.
So, in the aftermath of WWII they made sure that people would fight each other, in stead of the ruling elite.
They succeeded. Nobody has time for a revolution. We are caught up in fighting among each other.
We now know that intelligence services of governments and corporations have access to all our computers and other devices. They monitor us.
IBM became big because the worked for the Germans. When they asked Bill Gates to make software for them, the spying option surely was appealing. And the bases for locking and transfering secret info also was constructed. Rings of people can share info on their terms, but can read everything of everybody outside that ring.
Not only IBM and Bill Gates profited. Vonnegut Bush was a good chemish, good nazi and loved his sexual partners to be young. Very young. He and other nazi's worked for companies like Monsanto and invented weapons of mass destruction.
Where did the money come from? Drugs that was transported within the protected diplomatic circles. The Clintons were mentioned, but also a lot of high Eastern European and Turkish leaders.
So, this little elite group, makes sure that they gather incriminating material about person X.
And they support person X his career. As soon as X is powerful and established, he can't let go of that position anymore. So, when he questions the elite, they will use the incriminating material they have of him. X stays under their control.
It is possible that the press got incentives to highlight the misconduct of Bill Cosby. The timing is interesting. Because the image of mr. perfect got shattered and had the potential to be used by racists against black people. It surely is interesting that his all came out, right before Ferguson.
Ferguson materializes the white privelege. And fortunately it shows that people do care and noticed. It will not be let go. It will be kept under the attention.
Black people defending Bill Cosby, is creating anger. Why do they excuse a rapist, just because he's black?
Unfortunately, Bill Cosby (probably) is a sexual predator. Don't allow this to fuel the hatred between black and white people.
You don't think folks are scared because they see how many black and white people are protesting together against Ferguson?
Don't buy into this White Supremacy vs Black misogynists.
Let's cross those bridges and focus on what unites people:
- Saving the planet.
- Stop the pedophile rings in power.
The trait of being a good person or a bad person is not as dichotomous as we would like. Being good or bad is not divided over race.
99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.
Actually, from what I heard Don is the perfect complexion. So was TJ.
Tj I'm proud to say is @ ABC now. He has started appearing on GMA also. From his regular nighttime correspondence position.
TJ had some kind of agreement with MSNBC, so he filled in for anchors a lot...TJ is one of the BEST Anchors on TV period. I knew MSNBC wasnt going to offer him a spot cuz their roster of anchors is plentiful. MSNBC is where he needs to be though...ABC is alright...ABC is the Diplomat Network, "Let's all get along".....
My issue with Beverly Johnson is that she's gone on shows in the past talking about how the Men she once dated tried to control her. Beverly has milked that "Victim" card just like Halle Berry....Once again, I'm not saying she's lying but she's on record for saying she's had BAD luck with Men all of her adult life...Saying Bill Cosby PROBABLY drugged her is something we'd expect from her...People need to stop crying "wolf" cuz there will come a time where you'll lose credibility...

The disaster decision he made was going to BET. They never gave him a chance to build his brand there. Then tried to turn his show into a tabloid show. Before they changed timeslots and abruptly cancelled it. Then a nasty,sick, raunchy rumor, that came out, why it wasn't given a chance is another casting couch rumor involving Stephen Hill . I wouldn't dare repeat here.
will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P.
I agree wholeheartily with bills comments about staying objective, but considering the number of women who have accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting them, that objectivity and neutrality is gonna takes some serious suspension of disbelief. I'm a little out there but it sounds like he's sorta blaming the media for his troubles and he also sounds like he's playing the race card.
Now having said that^. It wouldn't be a surprise to hear that a few of the allegations against bill are false(or the women were more willing than what they said they were), but like i said before. Its highly, highly unlikely that all those accusers are lying.
It just makes no sense(false claims of sexual abuse).
Bill Cosby Breaks Silence, Asks 'Black Media' to Stay Neutral
Comedian also talks about "love and strength" of wife Camille.

Bill Cosby broke his silence — briefly — amid mounting sex abuse allegations, and has a message for the Black media covering his case: stay objective. Speaking to Stacy Brown, a reporter for Page Six who also writes for various Black media outlets, Cosby said, “Let me say this. I only expect the Black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind.”
While the sitcom star wouldn't comment on the growing number of allegations from women who claimed he drugged and raped them — the most recent being former supermodel Beverly Johnson — he did talk about the love and support of his wife, Camille Cosby, these past few weeks.
“Love and the strength of womanhood,” he said. “Let me say it again, love and the strength of womanhood. And, you could reverse it, the strength of womanhood and love.”
Cosby then quickly cut off the conversation with Brown, which took place over the phone. “They don’t want me talking to the media,” he concluded before hanging up.
More than two dozen women have publicly claimed that the Cosby Show star drugged and raped them, with allegations beginning in the 1960s. While statute of limitation laws mean Cosby won't likely be tried for most of the alleged sex crimes, it seems unlikely his public image will ever recover from the scandal.
Kathie Lee Gifford claims Bill Cosby tried to kiss her amid accusations from woman claiming assault in 2008

"I along with so many Americans and people around the world don't want these (accusations) to be true," she said on the "Today" show, according to the New York Daily News. "I will admit towards the end of the tour the last time I saw him he did try to kiss me.
"I said, 'No,' I said, 'Bill, we're friends.'
"He said, 'OK, good night," and I said, 'Good night.' I went into my room and he went into his room."
She added that when she and her backup singers opened for Cosby on tour, he would often brew them cappuccino after the show — a memory she said now gives her a “chill” because supermodel Beverly Johnson has claimed the actor drugged her using that same beverage.
Gifford's comments come in the wake of another woman’s claims that Cosby drugged and assaulted her at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, alleging the incident took place just six years ago, which reportedly could mean criminal charges for the comedian once dubbed “America’s dad.”
In addition, the lawyer for a woman who claimed Cosby assaulted her in the Playboy Mansion in 1974, when she was 15, now says he has two witnesses to back up his client’s claim.
Chloe Goins, 24, told the Daily Mail that the comedian gave her a drink at one of Hefner’s parties in 2008.
“Everything kind of went foggy. I started feeling sick to my stomach and just dizzy,” she said.
Goins said Cosby led her to a room so she could lie down, and the next thing she remembers, she was waking up with Cosby licking her feet and pleasuring himself.
“I was butt naked lying on my back on a bed and didn’t have any idea where I was,” she said. “I came to and remember seeing this big man crouched over me. It was Bill Cosby, and he was at my feet, kind of licking and kissing them and I think he bit my toe as that’s what woke me up.”

I totally agree with you TJ should be on msnbc. For the life of me I don't understand them hiring Toure', he's more of a pop culture lightweight compared to TJ.
I'd rather have him at abc than cnn though. I think hightly of TJ and I feel that cnn is really beneath him now.
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.
I Love Kathie Lee...She was Regis's better half...The show was NOT the same when she left and I think there is some regret on her part. I Like Mike & Kelly...Their Energy will keep that show around for another 30yrs... If every Man, Woman & Teenager went public accusing coworkers of Flirting with them on the job Companies would have to be ran by Robots...Flirting is not the same thing as "Rape" but Kathie has every right to tell the world Bill tried to kiss her....

Toure had an MSNBC contributing contract before he got the hosting-slot but before that I noticed Dylan Ratigan was the only anchor that invited him on regularly. Dylan gave him a "voice"..Toure is a Smart Brotha, knows his Shit but he had to learn early on to control some of the Shit that came out of his mouth. Some things you say can keep you from getting work...He toned it down when he made guest-spots on Dylan's old show..I think Toure & Dylan became good friends off camera...So I was not surprised Toure was offered a co-hosting Gig when they recycled Dylan's old show.....I wish I had Toure's hair..His hair is his trademark....And YES I'd trade Toure for TJ when it comes to Stellar Anchoring...TJ got that on lock-down...MSNBC dropped the ball on TJ...

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office will not file charges against the star following claims he molested a 15-year-old at the Playboy Mansion back in 1974. A document, obtained by The Insider With Yahoo, evaluating the charges and released on Tuesday states that the incident is too old.
At the time the alleged crime occurred, it would have been a misdemeanor: annoying or molesting a child under 18, which carried a statue of limitations of one year.
"Even if there was an applicable felony charge," the document reads, "the statute of limitations that existed in 1974 for felony sex crimes was three years. Therefore, prosecution today for any potential felony sex crime from 1974 would also be barred."
The filing was regarding the case of Judy Huth, who told her story to Los Angeles police earlier this month. Huth claimed that the actor plied her with booze and then sexually assaulted her.
"He attempted to kiss her on the mouth and slid his hand down her pants," part of the graphic account stated.
Huth also has filed a civil lawsuit against the 77-year-old star. Meanwhile, Cosby has accused Huth of attempting to extort $250,000 from him and is seeking to have her suit dismissed.
In addition to Huth, more than 20 women have accused Cosby of sexual assault in the last two months. Two of those other women are suing Cosby.
Cosby's attorneys have denied the claims against their client from the start, but it was only Monday when Camille Cosby, Bill's wife of years, defended her husband in a statement.
"He is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man, and a wonderful husband, father and friend," she said. "He is the man you thought you knew.
"None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim, But the question should be asked — who is the victim?"
On Tuesday, Cosby's youngest child, 38-year-old daughter Evin, supported her father and her mother's statement on Facebook. Though she has since deleted much of her post, her original statement read as follows:
"I would like to thank EVERYONE that has been sharing, voicing and putting their beautiful positive energy out there for me and my family," Evin wrote. "There will always be jealous, vengeful and crazy people out there to break anyone down. Everyday we wake up and appreciate the love and support from everyone. There's more positive in life then we think. It's the BS that can be overwhelming."
She also addressed the charge that many of the victims were drugged before they were assaulted.
"Drugged- you can remember the whole damn day but you were drugged? Just sayin," she noted. "Memory- you can remember you looked at (allegedly) eachother, people were starring allegedly remembering your home address allegedly the name you called him allegedly But you were allegedly drugged."

I was sexually harassed on a job, when someone tried to pull my jacket up to see my -----. But I choose to keep it quiet. Everything isn't that serious to be reported. You just move on and hope that it won't happen again, or it will be consequences & repercussions. Plus it's different when it's coming from a male.
BTW I liked Mike & Kelly better. Everyone got tired of hearing Kathie Lee talk about Cody on a daily .Also Regis was pushed out because he was too old. They wanted to attract a younger demographic. So they made it look like he retired & freely left. But that wasn't really what happen. Like when they gave Sherri Shephard the axe from "The View". It looks better when they say they left on their own accord.

Men are ALWAYS laughed at! Plus not taken seriously, when we say we were sexually harassed or raped. Unless it was when we were underage, even then it's very difficult to come foward.
But some men go through the same things women go through. Like being sexually harassed and slipped something in a drink. Not to mention what happens to us in prisons. That is largely kept quiet. .

You can get the fuck outta here with your eyeroll because no one here said anything negative about/or made any comment denying men being victims as well.
Men are mostly laughed at by other misogynist men when they claim to be victims of sexual violence.

i wasn't being sarcastic. Your post was fucked up. Not reporting sexual harassment is a dumb thing to do. Your comments on this subject are sad. Funny how you want to say this didn't happen to these women but you didn't report your own.

you're a mess
you're actually contradicting yourself with your last few posts
