Talk-show host, and perennial racist loudmouth, Tavis Smiley is yet another one of those blacks who, while claiming to be some ardent defender of the black community, are in reality doing little more than to sell out blacks in this country. In seeking to come up with any rationale for what continues to befall the black community, it was in his best idiotic sounding rhetoric that Smiley once again continued his criticism of Barry "Almighty", saying that "black people lost ground in every single leading economic category during the Obama years." I’d like to remind Mr. Smiley that blacks really have no one to blame but themselves. They are the ones who chose, or allowed themselves to be convinced, to vote for Barry nearly en masse. Now perhaps if blacks were to vote a little closer to what we’ve been told are their true positions on such issues as education, jobs and even gay marriage instead of on their ability to obtain a government check of ever-increasing amounts, they might come out a little farther ahead.
It was in a recent interview with ‘The Huffington Post," that Smiley said, "We’ve been at the back of the bus." With him going on to say, "Every other constituency has spoken their truth and made demands of this president." And then, in referring to the White House's recent announcement that Barry would announce his executive actions on immigration after the November elections, this moron said, "Right now, the Hispanic community, for obvious reasons, is livid with him for pushing back once again something he should’ve done, I think, a long time ago." And he added, "But the data is going to indicate — I said this before and I’m not happy about this. I don’t celebrate this." He continued by saying, "I don’t say it as a way of demonizing the president or casting an aspersion on him, but the data is going to indicate that black people lost ground in every single leading economic category during the Obama years." So Smiley seems quite confident in denying any of this is actually Barry’s fault.
Smiley, 50, hosts a late-night talk show on, where else but, taxpayer supported PBS. He has been a Barry critic throughout his term, along with author and Union Theological Seminary ‘professor’ Cornel West. Shortly after Barry's re-election in 2012, Chicago Public Media canceled their program, "Smiley & West," citing concerns about fairness and balance. And apparently Mr. Smiley has also written a new book about the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and made the same claim in January about the lack of black progress under ‘his’ black president, saying "on that regard, the president ought to be held responsible." In his Huffington Post interview, Smiley said that he still respects Barry despite his attacks. And Smiley demonstrated that simply having a black president seems to trump even the continuing plight of blacks when he said, "As Cornel West and I said many years ago, I respect the president." Adding, "I will protect the president against white supremacist attacks or anything else he’s unfairly targeted for.
And then Smiley said something that very clearly makes the point that he’s little more than a complete fraud. He said, "So you’re respecting, you’re protecting, but you’re correcting when he’s wrong." And he concluded things by saying, "Not because he’s Barack Obama, but because he’s the president." Somehow I just can’t bring myself to believe that Smiley would be as generous if we were to have a white guy in the Oval Office, and worse yet a conservative Republican. If that were in fact the case I seriously doubt that Smiley would be as forgiving. In that situation we would be hearing only about how the white man was continuing to keep the black man down. But the odd reality of things is that it’s the very ones who Smiley himself votes for that are the ones so determined to keep the black man down and essentially enslaved to the government. So until Smiley, and those like him, can finally be honest with those in the black community very little will change other than that things will get much, much worse for all.
