Apartheid is dead, Nelson Mandela is free, and now South Africa houses luxury resorts where they host people of all races including Atlanta’s Housewives (You can call them “Real,” we will not). The only color that seems to matter is green. But, just when we thought that was true, an interracial poster pops up and South Africans begin to show their true colors.
According to the Washington Post, the student division of the Democratic Alliance put the poster together depicting a relationship between a black woman and a white man–who appear to be nude– gazing lovingly in one another’s eyes. Tempers flared amongst politicians and the media is on fire with what has become a controversial poster.
One went as far as to call it an “abomination.” It appears South Africa hasn’t grown up as much as some thought it had. The Provincial Secretary for the Congress of South African Trade Unions, Zet Luzipo said:
“The poster says, ‘Join the DA to have an affair with a white person It entrenches the white supremacy that we fought against during the liberation struggle. We will not be excited with having an affair with a white person; we will not be enticed by that.”
That’s just one of the negative depictions of the campaign. There are positive supporters as well. One took to their Facebook page saying:
Love the DA! This campaign image is exactly what South Africa needs, now all the irrelevant racist “boers” can F off to their tiny irrelevant parties and the rest of us can stand together as one post-apartheid nation where race, religion or sexual preference doesn’t mean anything, we’re all human! Go DA! You have my vote.
Maybe South Africa will join the rest of the world and grow up. The poster just shows two people that are happy with one another.

Almost daily we see-read, and watch insulting false-incorrect spermicidal information flowing out of mouths of Republicans and the Fox News types. We send that info to each other and post the shocking lies in disbelief them – Republicans and the Fox News types that blatantly say what they say.
When also see the posted fact checks, such as who is really on welfare and who really the welfare president, Mr. George Bush was.
We know who really increased the debt, and increased taxes, three times more than any other president that would be Mr. Ronald Reagan. For the record Obama has raised it the least.
We know eight years of Bush policies all the way up to him leaving office in January of 2009 caused the loss of two million jobs. Please somebody tell Newt to stop saying Obama lost two millions jobs. Fact under Obama in 2009- 2010 only 300,000 jobs were lost, but it open to debate did Obama or did Bush residue cause those jobs to go away. Fact unemployment is back at 8% and going under from a high of 10% This is coming from a man who lost his job too, and still looking …hey in-box me if you need me…
Not many News service will call-out the lies the Republican machine will roll out, and they will say when caught in a lie … “Oh that’s not what I meant.”, but wait here is what we need to do … send facts to those conservative Republicans and Fox News types, on the fence swing voters and so called independents friends you might happen to have.
I know there is the worry you’ll end up debating someone who would rather eat his or her own boggers than submit to the facts. Well no you don’t have to, just send them the facts and then act like they do, ignore them. You can lead an elephant-ass to water but you can’t make-em drink.
I always send them correct information to them, even when I know they most likely will reject the truth because the truth was not they wanted. We, our, people of conciseness of any color or race, and religion know the facts, we know where we are in life, but they- Republicans and the Fox News TYPES DON’T KNOW THEIR ASS IS IN THE POOR HOUSE AND WHO PUT THEM THERE, but hey…by chance if you keep sending them the facts it’s the same liars who they voted for, you might get one to pull the head out of a hole.
Even though Fox News screams loud they are only talking to the same people who choose to be ignorant of facts and fall easy to being led by a corporation of elitist. Most Americans have figured out that is a circus show of easily proven lies.
What we have to be so-much more careful of and aware is WE CAN JADE OURSELVES WHEN WE PREACH TO THE CHOIR. The message we know need to get into the ears of the on fence swing voters and so called independents friends you might happen to have. Why, here is a lie easy to believe in for them. Black voters are the only reason Obama is the President….WRONG…. if not one Black person voted he still would have won…Fact
SEND THEM THE FACTS OFTEN:
Fact:
36 million Americans relied on food stamps. More than 24 million of them were white, 8 million were African American and 6 million were Hispanic of any race. Of the 46 million people living in poverty in America in 2010, the U.S. census revealed that 31 million were white.
Fact: there are only 35 million Black people and of the 8 million living in poverty 6 million are children.
Fact: That state Iowa is 96% white…let me repeat 96% white and has the one of the highest crimes rate percentage in America… will Fox News ever tell you that, I think not!
Fact:
Of the 49 million people without health insurance coverage, 37 million were white; 8 million were African American. Latinos of every race and Asian Americans represented the remaining largest ethnic groups.
Fact:
White Americans, poor and middle-class alike receive the vast majority of tax-funded government assistance programs, from monthly assistance to Social Security to food stamps.
Fact:
TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), the program that provides aid to single mothers, is the most well-known welfare program, but the truth is that Social Security and Medicare are also social welfare services, funded by tax dollars. To that end, nearly 70 percent of all benefits of these programs go to white people. In fact, since African Americans have lower life expectancy, many work and pay into the Social Security and Medicare programs through their tax dollars, only to have white Americans, who have a longer life expectancy, benefit from the income they’ve left behind.
Fact:
Child Poverty in Rural America,” reveals that 57 percent of rural poor children were white and 44 percent of all urban poor children were white.
And for the person who will doubt these facts out of denial of going to look them up themselves. These figures were taking under George Bush and Obama
Kind of funny when you think of it, the poor whites that hate Obama will follow Fox News and never hear this. Yet the same people they vote for are the one keeping them down…
Kind of funny, Black people are stereotyped for saying “The Man Is Keeping Me Down”, and several of the Repubs running for office has said Blacks are the Welfare users, and we look for a hand outs, but the truth is it the other way around.
Kind of Funny, those poor white folk lost many of their blue collar jobs because people like Mitt sold their companies and shut the door on them.
It will be more of the same race baiting this time around of stupid ignorance that will keep the liars out of office with simple minded … “I don’t know what Obama is and where he was born, and he has ties to terrorist, and he not American enough type of crap and that train of thought will keep him office because there is enough intelligent people of all races, and religions who will reject it as they did in 2008
Family Values Obama or Newt
For the people because I come from the people Obama or Mitt
Has Obama made some mistakes yes, but he has not started two wars and then didn’t pay for them and left America broke and Fox blames him for it. No need to answer unless you got the facts

FactCheck.org : Newt’s Faulty Food-Stamp Claim

Newt Gingrich claims that “more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history.” He’s wrong. More were added under Bush than under Obama, according to the most recent figures.

Catholic leaders tell Gingrich, Santorum ‘to stop perpetuating ugly racial stereotypes’
floridaindependent.com
Catholic leaders issued a letter Friday1/20/2012 to GOP presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, themselves Catholics, urging them to stop perpetuating ugly racial stereotypes on the campaign trail.
Thank you, Mr. Alvin L.A. Horn for this article
Predictions that I see for the next 12 months or after.
1. This year there will be a big explosion at the corner of a building, seem like a financial institution. This will be in-house our people will do this. Not terrorist from the outside. Death toll 9-11 people. This takes place in New York or someplace very close by.
WEATHER –
1. Somewhere on this planet a “Volcano” will explode and be heard around the world. Yes it will be so intense, it will speed up the axes once again. It will remind scientist of the volcano “Krakatoa” from the past.
2. There will be flooding in 2012, in lots of areas across the nation, more than usual predictions. There is one that stands out and the catalyst will be the Mississippi River. We have never experience anything like this as a nation.
3. Alaska will experience a very strong 7.5 to 8 earthquake. The funny thing is, it will be man-made by Black Ops, not from the earth naturally. Also a lot of UFO testing go on in this same area or location of earthquakes. Earthquakes this year to be remembered and discussed, talked about are: Japan, Chile, Singapore (could be catastrophic).
TECHNOLOGY -
1. Good news! I believe this year you will be able to communicate with your 5×7 tablet as a phone communicator, and webcam. In other words the new phone with it all in one.
2. Strides in the field of Cancer (skin), Bionic (parts more mobile, bendable, breathable), Stem Cell (regenerating organs), Brain Modification (healing mental disease with electrode nanos, in the sleeping state).
POLITICS –
1. President Barack Obama will get a 2nd term.
2. Pharmaceutical companies will finally get their dues. They have been ripping the American consumer off for years, even with Generic brands. Under the table, bribes, donations to charities all in the name of some good or bad doctor to make money. Well this year a whistle-blower with defining proof what is really going, will have their story finally told, even to the expense of death. There is also a few Congressmen employed in this.
3. In less than 10 years the Federal Reserve will no longer exist, which is a good thing. Run by the rich and famous. Was set up by millionaires.
4. Look for U.S. Senators to come up missing in 2012, or to come up dead. Either through assassination, poisoning, vehicle accident, drowning, it going to happen.
ENTERTAINMENT –
Look for actors/actresses to get paid less for their jobs. WHY? you say, lol because of Comcast, Infinity, Dish, Direct etc. i.e. By the time you go to the theatre and spend about $80.00. You can sit at home in the comfort of your Media Room, Living Room, Family Room. Food is right there and drinks. Doesn’t matter how small or large the crowd, you only pay once price for the movie and that’s it! There is already a program of $60 in place to watch (opening day, block busters, first run) movies in the comfort of your home then to go to the theatre. Most cable or dish companies charge $4.99 to $9.99 for first time release. Which states movie theaters will become a thing of the past very soon. Remember the old “drive in theaters”.

Boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is headed to jail. The boxer received a 90-day sentence for his involvement in a domestic violence incident involving his babymomma. Mayweather pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and no contest to two misdemeanor harassment charges. He’ll have to pay a $2,500 fine and do 100 hours of community service. He’s to report to jail January 6th and should be out by March 11th. Mayweather is scheduled to fight in Las Vegas on May 5th.
His death was announced by his son-in-law, James Coughlin, who said Dundee had recently been treated for blood clots.
In more than 60 years in professional boxing, Dundee gained acclaim as a brilliant cornerman, whether healing cuts, inspiring his fighters to battle on when they seemed to be reeling, or adjusting strategy between rounds to counter an opponent’s style.
“In that one minute, Angelo is Godzilla and Superman rolled into one,” Dr. Ferdie Pacheco, who often worked with Dundee and then became a TV boxing analyst, once remarked.
Ali told The New York Times in 1981: “You come back to the corner and he’ll say, ‘The guy’s open for a hook,’ or this or that. ” If he tells you something during a fight, you can believe it. As a cornerman, Angelo is the best in the world.”
When Thomas Hearns was rallying against Leonard in their welterweight championship unification fight in September 1981, Dundee got Leonard going again after the 12th round bell, telling him, “You’re blowing it, son, you’re blowing it.” Leonard knocked Hearns down in the 13th round and won the bout when the referee stopped it in the 14th.
Dundee “knew precisely how to get through to me at the most pivotal moments, and no moment in the fight, or in my career, was as pivotal as this,” Leonard recalled in his memoir “The Big Fight” (2011),” written with Michael Arkush.
Dundee’s first champion was Carmen Basilio, the welterweight and middleweight titleholder of the 1950s from upstate New York. Although best remembered for Ali and Leonard, Dundee also trained the light-heavyweight champion Willie Pastrano, the heavyweight titleholder Jimmy Ellis and the welterweight champion Luis Rodriguez. Dundee advised George Foreman when he regained the heavyweight title at age 45. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992.
He was born Angelo Mirena in Philadelphia, the son of a railroad worker. He became Angelo Dundee after his brother, Joe, fought professionally under the name Johnny Dundee, in tribute to a former featherweight champion; another brother, Chris, also adopted the Dundee name.
After working as a cornerman at military boxing tournaments in England while in the Army Air Forces during World War II, Dundee served an apprenticeship at Stillman’s Gym near the old Madison Square Garden, learning his craft from veteran trainers like Ray Arcel, Charley Goldman and Chickie Ferrara. In the early 1950s he teamed with his brother Chris to open the Fifth Street gym in Miami Beach. It became their longtime base, Angelo as a trainer and Chris as a promoter.
In the late 1950s, Dundee gave some tips to a promising amateur named Cassius Clay, and in December 1960, after Clay’s first pro bout, Dundee became his trainer, working with him in Miami Beach. He guided him to the heavyweight title with a knockout of Sonny Liston in February 1964.
Dundee avoided the temptation to tamper with the brilliance of his young and charismatic fighter, and he used a bit of psychology in honing his talents.
“I never touched that natural stuff with him,” Dundee recalled in his memoir, “My View From the Corner” (2008), written with Bert Randolph Sugar. He added: “So every now and then I’d subtly suggest some move or other to him, couching it as if it were something he was already doing. I’d say something like: ‘You’re getting that jab down real good. You’re bending your knees now and you’re putting a lot of snap into it.’ Now, he had never thrown a jab, but it was a way of letting him think it was his idea, his innovation.”
When Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali soon after winning the heavyweight title, his boxing management and financial affairs were handled by the Nation of Islam. Dundee was the only white man in his camp, and he grew disturbed over references to that fact.
In his memoir, Dundee said that he and Ali “had this special thing, a unique blend, a chemistry.”
“I never heard anything resembling a racist comment leave his mouth,” he said. “There was never a black-white divide.”
Dundee knew all the tricks in the boxing trade, and then some.
