Dr. Boyce: Let’s Face it, Black Enthusiasm for Barack Obama is Dead
by Dr. Boyce Watkins
As we gear up for the 2012 Presidential election, it’s interesting to see how the White House works to explain the fact that it’s been MIA for the black community. The last three years have been a relative wasteland of political and economic progress for African Americans, and even the most ardent Obama supporters are growing tired. They want to defend him at any cost, but he’s made it remarkably difficult.
Policies and action that have come forth to help the gay community, women, immigrants and other groups have flown over the head of black America, like Jay-Z performing in a city where black people can’t afford to buy tickets. But similar to the Jay-Z concert, some of us love Obama anyway, standing outside the arena hoping to catch a glimpse of our hero as he gets inside his limousine.

Dr. Boyce:
You are a disgrace to our race. I support President Obama. just as strong as I’ve supported him in the past. It’s stupid people like you that think that this President, because of the complexion of his skin, was going to dole out jobs, and free money to every person of color, irregardless of skills, and education. It’s stupid people like you, Tavis Smiley, and Cornell West,that thought you all would be given prominent access, and positions in this administration, irregardless of your non leadership ability,and power in the Black community, and your obviously lack of skill. Why don’t you go back to blamingg that university, that wouldn’t give you an professorship, because of your lack of qualifications, not because of racism, that you claim it to be.
I come on this site for one reason, and that is to read the stupid, and race baiting commentary that you espouse. Please Black people, don’t follow these turnip brain, self gratifying, corporate spies. We have a President, that happen to look like one of ours, that is doing his best, against an hostile congress, and these Black, race baiting pimps, who both despise him, and have joined together to defeat him this fall. If you are as intelligent as I believe that you are, you will ignore the three idiots, that I mentioned above, and support President Obama again. Also this President has a jobs bill that he sent to the congress months ago, but they are sitting on this bill, waiting for the defeat of this President, and then they’ll pass it, and claim it as theirs.

“Zombie Apocalypse! Another Cannibal, Alexander Kinyua, Eats The Heart & Brains Of Roommate”
Has a zombie apocalypse taken over America? Another Cannibal spotted in Maryland!
STORY: Things To Know About The Face-Chewing Naked Man Case
First it was the Miami face-eating man, Rudy Eugene, now a 21-year-old college student is accused of killing his roommate after he told police he ate the victim’s heart and part of his brain after he died.
According to CBS Baltimore, Alexander Kinyua hid the head and hands of 37-year-old Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie inside the victim’s basement laundry room in a suburb of Baltimore.
Kinyua, a student at Morgan State University, was charged earlier in May in another attack in which the victim was brutally beaten, but survived.
STORY: Eww! Video Surfaces Of Naked Man Eating Another Man’s Face!
Kinyua, a Kenya native, is charged with first-degree murder and other charges in the death of Agyei-Kodie and was ordered to be held on no bail.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Monica Worrell said the chief medical examiner had not yet officially identified the body parts, but that authorities believe they are those of Kodie, who was reported missing May 25. His cell phone and wallet were left in the home and police were initially told he had gone for a run.
On Tuesday, Kinyua’s father, Antony Kinyua, called detectives and reported that another son, Jarrod, found what he thought were human remains in the house where they all lived in Joppatowne.
According to charging documents, Jarrod and his father went to the basement, where they “observed that the items he observed were gone and Alex Kinyua was cleaning the container he observed them in.”
Detectives obtained a search warrant and found the head and hands of Agyei-Kodie in the house. Police say Alexander Kinyua admitted to killing Kodie by cutting him up with a knife and eating his heart and part of his brain.
Authorities say Kinyua told detectives the rest of the body could be found in a trash container at the Town Baptist Church in Harford County.
This latest attack comes in the same week as Miami man, Rudy Eugene, chewed away another man’s face along a busy highway and wouldn’t stop until an officer shot him to death.
Morgan officials say Kinyua studied electrical engineering and was also in the ROTC.
According to court records, the victim, a native of Ghana, was convicted in November 2008 in Baltimore County of a s*x offense and assault in September 2007 and harassment, stalking and telephone misuse for making repeated calls in 2007 and 2008 to a woman. He was sentenced to at least a year and a half in jail.
*******************************
Since Alexander Kinyua is an illegal immigrant from Africa and that his father, Antony Kinyua, is also an illegal immigrant, and if it is true that who teaches at Morgan State College in Maryland.
…..then why is it that:
A Morgan State University administrator,a Baltimore City prosecutor or police officer, who are U.S. born and black, fail or refuse to use his or her influence to remove Alexander Kinyua’s father, Antony Kinyua, from Morgan State University’s faculty to have him deported by ICE too.
Predominately U.S. born black communities or formerly predominately U.S. born black communities are the weakless link for influx and harboring illegal immigrants from around the world…
…thus it should be a no brainer that so many U.S. born blacks are unemployed or unemployed because our own leaders, our own so called university educated professionals, or other irresponsible individuals place more value in the rights of illegal immigrants than in protecting their own rights as U.S. citizens, and/or the U.S. citizenship of U.S. born black men, women, and/or his or her siblings in general sense.

Constitutional Rights are Only Important to Congresswoman Waters When She is being Investigated!
President Obama doesn’t honor his oath of office to respect the Constitution, i.e., President Barack Obama needs to go and tomorrow would not be too soon.
In the event any long standing Federal, State, and County property taxpaying law abiding U.S. born descendant of slavery petition President Barack Obama, Congresswomen Maxine Waters, Karen Bass, 2nd District Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas, 10th District Los Angeles City Councilman Herb Wesson, 8th District Los Angeles City Councilman Bernard Parks, etc., etc., to uphold his or her oath of office to respect and uphold the U.S. Constitution in behalf of a law abiding U.S. born descendant of slavery wrongfully violated by government, Congresswoman Maxine Waters and/or other Congressional Black Caucus members play games of deceit, ignore valid petitions for redress, refuse to respect and uphold the Constitution, the response is unethical or meaningless, the elected official (Councilman Herb Wesson) will use his or her authority to have you arrested and jailed, have no bearing on the serious issues presented (in contrast Senator Diane Feinstein actually corresponds in a manner that is appropriate to the serious issues presented), etc., etc.

“Yes, the thrill may be gone, but what are your options? If apathy and lack of enthusiam for Obama becomes the excuse for not voting Obama back in, the disenfranchsied communities of America will definitely learn the meaning of “choosing the lesser evil.” Choosing the “lesser evil” has always been the option, why should it be any different now?” by joia
With good reason I won’t be voting for President Barack Obama and/or other no good elected black leaders who disgrace the office.

Politics and Blacks
“Blacks hold high offices and dominate the political arena in Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., New Orleans and other cities. Yet these are the very cities with the nation’s most rotten schools, highest crime rates, high illegitimacy rates, weak family structure and other forms of social pathology. I am not saying that blacks having political power is the cause of these problems. What I am saying is that the solution to most of the major problems that confront many black people won’t be found in the political arena and by electing more blacks to high office. In fact, politicians tend to be hostile to some of the solutions to problems many blacks face such as school choice as a means to strengthen education, the elimination of oppressive licensing restrictions for various occupations, and supportive of job-destroying labor legislation such as minimum wage laws.” by Walter Williams
Four important issues have been left out by Walter Williams……
1. Elected officials must be competent and serve their primary constituency, which is severely lacking in Los Angeles, South Central Los Angeles, Watts, Compton, Oakland, Inglewood, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., New Orleans and other cities.
2. Although Black elected officials hold or have held office in these areas, most have sold out or betray the Black community for personal gain, to benefit personal friends, etc. Far too many of these individuals don’t have a clue as to what it means to be an elected official, no good President Barack Obama, being inclusive in this huge self-serving-elitist-despotic and treasonous misfit set!
3. It is very important to have competent representation serving a community.
4. The middleclass and/or so-called university educated must be ethical, law abiding, responsible, and serve their primary constituency……..
……………true leadership being very scarce in the Black community.

Yeah really…who do we really have to choose in 012? Of course I refuse to vote until the wicked EEOC never exist. all they do is give out right to sue letters and never save our careers. “F” politics and the people involved. Michelle can love up on her husband all she wants. its her husband but I don’t give a d**n if he will ever again be the President and if Mitt never wins – I DON’T CARE! They didn’t care about me when they stole my 16 year career from me over a white vicious supervisor who admitted she set me up for a forced resignation and they want me to VOTE? I DONT THINK SO!

Kim, I can see why you were, in essence, terminated. You’ve got to be in the game to score points and to win! But guess what? For every Black who refuses to vote this November, there will be at least two enthusiastic gays to take their place. Obama is tired of having to massage the Black commuity to get out and vote. And how much money do we contribute to campaigns?
And let’s not forget this, too! President Obama does not share the Black experience that most Blacks have had in America. Neither of his parents’ ancestors were slaves. The man cannot relate to our community as one whose mother rocked him to Negro spirituals and who taught him the maxims that most Blacks his age have heard. Obama was born and reared in a non-Black world! He cannot relate to a lot of our concerns.
Nevetheless, let us support the man whose ideals are akin to those who suffer lack in our American society, be they Black, White, Latino, or others. So vote because you are a citizen with civic responsibilites to vote. How many Blacks would not vote, if it were for racial bigotry on their jobs or any place else? Most!
My point? Your explantion for not voting makes no d**n sense! And that alone tells me that you may not have the wits to work harmoniously in a multi-racial environment on any level. So, come to your senses!

Bye Bye Mr. White man I mean President Obama.He had his chance to be great and we loved him but he choose to love his moma side of the family and kick his Black side to the curb. Maybe if we get a low life like Romney we can then unite under a common fight but Obama is the obstecle that hinders our unity. Some of us still want to keep him and some like me want to see him go but whatever happens this Nov. We must get some relief from this horror of poverty and unemployment or else we must consider rebellion

william, why you ignant fool..thinking american would elect an outspoken, pro black, radical brother to be the first black president. it had to be a brother like obama, if not you would have not seen a black president in your life time.
h**l they wouldn’t even accept jesse or rev shapton and your dumb a*s think a minister farrakhan type of brother could stay alive and get reelected as president.
dumb a*s fools like you are the reason we might not never have another brother in the white house, and therefore never see a brother have a chance to speak openly on black issues.

It never ceases to amaze me, Boyce, regarding your self-hatred as a “person”…I wouldn’t say “man” of color because you are as discreet and as repulsive as the “b**t injections” which keep fantasizing about and which keep cropping up on this sorry site…..I correctly pegged you as an “undercover” republican last year because it was obvious in your writings that you couldn’t help letting your “blue dog” out on numerous occasions while trying to project some sly and sneaky “black intellectualism’s” like (I’m going to be sick”)….”things I learned from Malcolm X”. I hope you are happy with that “website from black conservative h**l” you spawned and are promoting…with your signature representative “small dog” which really indicates just how small and petty and desperate you are to do the white man’s work against President Obama. Maybe the “small dog” represents something else small in your small world…no, not the obvious answer….it seems to represent your small brain. To be even more on point and having caught you with your republi”con” underwear (for an undercover “brother whose undercover draws are showing), I also correctly pegged you, Cornelius and Tavis as sad black republicans and dubbed you all the “three negroteers”, along with Yvette as a back-up D’Artangan when you were trying to urge African-American’s “not to vote”…..how low can you go, Boyce, to show your self-hatred and low self-esteem with your flip flap conservative “but let me throw in some liberal misdirection” commentary that black people will not support nor vote for Obama? How do you face yourself and try to call yourself “Dr.” Boyce as if you are serving a purpose or better yet, a viable constituency? Whether you and Cornelius and Tavis and Yvette like it or not, President Obama is the best candidate who happens to be Black and HE WILL BE RE-ELECTED AND AFRICAN-AMERICANS WILL VOTE FOR HIM!!!!! You mis-write your messages and think you are providing another voice or another perspective, but sadly all you are doing is showing your ignorance, your stupidity and your bargain-basement self-hatred with your continuous misjudgment of Obama and your quest to show that you are a person of color responding to a “higher calling” Get with the program Boyce….all you are doing is letting your “Uncle Tom” take precedence over the common sense and the common reality you were supposedly born with. I guess you forgot when your republican b**t was on the hot burner when “the man” was messing with your tenure…..you were pretty black then! But like so many Uncle Toms, then and now, you forget on which side you need to butter your bread and you are confusing “being of service” to the Black community while shoveling “service” for the white man. Sad, sad, Boyce. Like James Brown say’s…”you’re like a dull knife…you just ain’t cutting”! Which side are you going to be on come the morning of November 3rd when African-Americans….AMERICANS… will send President Obama back to the Presidency? Oh, you will be back-sliding and shuffling your conservative b**t on to get on the liberal train, begging the conductor, President Obama, to let you ride all the way to “Blackness”….but unfortunately for you, my sad “blue dog”, along with your Blackness, that train will have left the station, you will have “missed your stop and your chance”….and while you can change your ticket….NO ONE is going to give you a refund to get your groove “back on track”. You will have missed more than your stop…you will have missed an opportunity to really be of service to President Obama and the Black community. You will have played out. Good luck with trying to turn our heads and our hearts from President Obama…just like the republicans you work for and who finance your website….YOU seriously have NO IDEA of what….and with whom….you are messing with…and it is not just with President Obama. Choo Choo.
Thank You Belenda

I’ll never forget the well dressed, well spoken Sister that made a media splash when she respectfully told the Prez at a town hall style event that she was getting ‘ tired of having to defend (explain) him’ to the community that overwhelmingly supported his candidacy & subsequent presidency. That was a couple of years ago. Did he listen to that ardent supporters concerns? If so, how so??! Maybe an Executive order or two that specifically addresses an issue directly affecting ‘Urban’ (read Black & Brown peoples) constituents. Jus say’n!
