It's one paragraph long.  LMAO.  I just thought I'd comment on the list of buzzards you decided to post.  You didn't post this line, however,

President Barack Obama consulted with MSNBC host Al Sharpton, who's also associated with the National Action Network (NAN), about the fiscal talks between the White House and Congress. At the same meeting, Obama also consulted with other "leaders of civil rights and civic organizations

Hmmmm.  

I didn't leave it out for any sort of reason, only that it is the same narrative you are making here.  The article tries to make it sound like some sort of private closed door meeting, but it was all part of the meeting he had with all those folks, representing many people from accross the country.

Yeah, we all know what it is, you just can't grasp the irony.  It is sad because i know you really mean what you are saying here.  You really believe it.

I must be overly dense then, because I don't grasp the irony here.   Feel free to explain it.

You posted something that you are actually just parroting from another site, you didn't really bother to read the article, then when you are challenged on it, attempt to feel sorry for me?

Did that sum it up?

So Obama first meets with Union leaders about the fiscal cliff;   http://blogs.voanews.com/breaking-news/2012/11/13/obama-meets-with-labor-leaders-on-us-fiscal-cliff/



Next he meets with civil rights leaders on the fiscal cliff?

I am thinking that neither was about the fiscal cliff it was more like “hey I am about to broker a deal with congress over the fiscal cliff, you helped me get elected what do you want out of the deal?”

too uppity?

I heard that too but not from the internet.  Fortune 500 companies do marketing models and forcasts and statistics.  White is becoming the minority. Its all about selling to the majority and white men are about on equal footing now with the black segment.  White  boomers are getting old and dying off. The generations of the future will be more diverse than ever. The report I read said Hispanic was strong hold and white influence has fallen below the influence the black markets.  

The powerful influence of capitalism and marketing is a double edged sword for the white male's power .

Where is all this white minority stuff coming from.

According to the CIA fact book white people make up 79.96%, black people make up 12.85%, asian people make up 4.43% and native americans make up 0.97%.  The CIA fact book does not include a separate listing for hispanic which according to the CIA fact book makes up about 15.1% of the population.

The United States Census Bureau has white people at 78.1%, black people at 13.1%, asian people at 5.0%, native americans at 1.2%, native hawaiian and other pacific islanders at 0.2% hispanics or latinos at 16.7% and white non-hispanic at 63.4%.  

Where ever this white minority stuff is coming from is apparently not from a factual source of information.

You know I've been thinking the same thing. Last I remember seeing whites were still way ahead in population. I guess since Obama the white majority is now the minority. You see nothing spoken in liberal makes a lot of sense and is always full of contradictions.

The marketing studies I referred to were based on current TRENDS and the mixing of races and family cultures and included things such as a person may say "I am white" just because he is more ethnically white but family background includes several races just as Obama IS Irish too! That 63% white and not Hispanic in CIA figures include the MIXED.  The trends were projected 30 years into the future and included reproductive statistics of each family culture.  White, black and other groups intermarry more than the Hispanics so they concluded marketing should be aimed toward them and that's why you see Spanish as a second US language with products.

The US is supposed to be the melting pot of cultures.  We should all be called  Americans...not white, black, rich  or poor, male, female ...and all treated equally as Americans!

It's sad that when we got a "black" president all the prejudices came back to get more attention in the media than trying to get the branches of government to work together for solutions.
