Being a Negro-Con has its finacial rewards
Being a Negro-Con has rewards.....Big time!
LANSING -- Ward Connerly, the California-based crusader who has launched a
petition drive to put a racial preference ban on the 2006 ballot in Michigan,
was paid more than $1 million by his two charities last year, documents filed
with the Internal Revenue Service show.......
My commentary is forthcoming....

Why are the speaker fees considered monies paid by the charity?
I'm assuming that these fees are paid by those who wish to hear Connerly - and that it costs the charity nothing when these lectures are given.
Incorrect assumption?

As someone who is from California and from the same city as Ward Connerly I personally wouldn't cross the street to spit on this man if he was on fire. I know this might sound harsh to some, but to a great many African Americans in California, this is one of the most dispised black man that many can think of. The fact that he is being supported by these so-called charities comes as no surprise to me.

I find it intesting that you go out of your way to target "Conservatives Who Are Black" and "Black Conservatives" and their supposed money making schemes but you are woefully silent AND EVEN WILL DEFEND the Hip Hop "Progressives" that are feeding Black people images, messages and associations and are MULTI-MILLIONARIES IN THE PROCESS.
If we could tabulate the total amount of potential money, brainpower and discipline that could be applied to more productive means but which instead is focused on going after the material items that are presented to them as "must haves".
So tell me NoHeem - Which of these two forces - The Black Conservative or the Black Hip Hop Progressive Revolutionary has a greater hold on and is more of a derailment to the Black Community's progress?
I just watched one video remake of "Cause I'm A Hoe" of Whodini fame in which he talked about all of the women that he was going to "bed". Now in looking at this fellow I wondered what means he used to acquire all of the cars, with spinner rims that attracted the pretty women that he had in his video.
Do you think that the hard earned money of the thousands of people who work in the "formal economy" is redirected toward him (via a record contract) and thus he makes a living?
Please tell me which Black Conservatives have anywhere near this power over the Black community and is let into the house, unguarded to do as they will despite the impact.
'TELL MI NOW!!!!'
I can't believe you did exactly what I said Negro-Cons do, right after I said it.
My words:
"This tactic is not new, in fact it is a tactic Negro-Cons commonly use when they believe there is an issue being ignored by Black progressive men and women and Black Leadership. Instead of speaking directly to an issue they approach the issue by condemning Black leadership and Black progressive men and women for not speaking on the issue and giving it the attention they think it deserve but the interesting part is they had not given it any attention until they realized they could use it to their advantage."
This is you all the way Renaldo, you assume we ignore certain things even after Noah and I have pointed to instances where we spoke on this issue, you still come right back here and say the same thing. How sad is that?
The truth is you are not really concerned with those things and really just want to use them as a means to attack us in the same way your Negro-Con buddies are crying out for Jessie, AL, Farrakhan and the NAACP to help them fight racist cartoonist.

Just as I point out many of the techniques that you Black Liberals use (De-Blackification as a means of mental control) does not mean that these tactics are not an effective means of political struggle.
The fact remains that the Hip Hop Capitalist does far more harm and has far more reach into the Black community than any Black Conservative that you can point to that has a policy that you disagree with.
"The fact remains that the Hip Hop Capitalist does FAR MORE HARM and has far more reach into the Black community than any Black Conservative that you can point to that has a policy that you disagree with."
So you admit the Negro-Con does harm to Black folk, but your contention is Hip-Hop does FAR MORE HARM.
I would like for once, to see you write about an issue you say we ignore and not have the root of your point centered on it being ignored in your eyes by us. I would also like to see you respond to what we have written without saying this or that is worse.
You know Renaldo, if someone says the suit you are wearing is ugly but then you say; well Faheem suit is uglier, that does not dispute the fact that you have on an ugly suit. But it does show you as trying to take the attention off yourself and put it on me. I hope this is not a tactic you use in your personal relationships where in someone points out something wrong with you and rather than deal with it, you point out what is wrong with them. Such tactics is a guaranteed way to end a relationship, Deal with what is wrong with you when it is pointed out and then when the time is right and you are not being defensive point out what is wrong with whomever you wish, just as it was pointed out to you what was wrong with you.
