Yes, his middle name really is “Robinette”. That’s about as terrible as having the middle name “Hussein“. And how ironic that two Liberal US Senators with a sad case of parents naming them badly disease would make today’s news.

Look folks old Liberal Joe let you know he was a racist when he did this:

Not that the above showed him saying any race was superior over another, but anyone perceptive enough could realize he thinks lowly of people with brown skin.

So old Liberal Joe has done it again. And this time he was a little more obvious about it.

It’s interesting that John Edwards is often called a “show pony” for his looks, but old Robinette never calls him “clean”. Folks, let me explain how the racist mind works. The racist sees all not like themselves as being less than. With Biden, he sees Blacks as being bad, dirty and just plain stupid. So he’s surprised that a Black man can spew his Liberal rhetoric more profoundly than he can himself. This makes him feel Obama is “articulate and bright”. Since Obama does not fit old Liberal Joe’s views of Blacks, he has to point out that Obama is “clean”. And the whole “nice-looking guy” comment just disturbs me! Maybe “Robinette” fits his name better than we know ?

Now Robinette has claimed to make amends with Hussein.

This would all blow over even if Biden never apologized and he never made up spin to cover himself. Because Liberals can ALWAYS get away with it.

If Biden were a US Senator on the more Conservative side of the fence, he’d lose his job. Just ask former US Senator George Allen.

So that’s how America works folks. If you’re Liberal, you can say all the racist mess you want. If you’re Conservative, you get accused of racism just because you’re not Liberal.

La Shawn Barber does not feel it’s a big deal.

Hat tip to reader misaligned_user, who was the first of multiple folks to contact me about this today.

update 1/31/2007 5:45PM: Hot Air has a link to audio of Robinette’s “clean” comment.

I find it interesting how in the Black hair product industry, Blacks used to make and market the bulk of the products, but they don’t any longer. One would think that people of a particular grain of hair would always be able to market and develop best for themselves. But the influx of South Koreans into the Black hair care market has shown that many Blacks in the industry were asleep at the wheel. Now some Blacks accustomed to marketing based on Blacks’ texture of hair, are upset that in some cases people who don’t look like them are now telling them they won’t work with them on selling products to Black people. It’s just an interesting series of events.

Now it seems that another group is starting to gain a foothold in the Black hair care market. Welcome Pakistani Shia Muslim immigrants. It seems to be starting with the very successful efforts of Dr. Ali N. Syed. He is the founder and President of Avlon Industries Incorporated. I first head about Avalon’s KeraCare line of products from a former barber of mine. My old barber sought out what he felt was the best hair care products for his clients and he came up with KeraCare, because of Dr. Syed’s patented formula, that has proven effective on Black hair. Not that I know if my old barber knew who owned Avlon, since he was simply looking for the best care for his customer’s hair. That’s why I liked him as a barber, because he would do all he could to take care of his customer’s hair, beyond simply cutting it and he looked for quality, not race bait. (So I knew he was never going to stir me wrong in the name of playing on my skin tone just to make a buck.) Just the same, it shows that Dr. Syed has found inroads and formulas that Blacks themselves did not develop and patent. It’s just a little amazing that Blacks could do so much in the way of selling each other hair products for so long and still not come up with what some non-Blacks have developed for Blacks in modern times.

In hair salons that specialize in Black hair care (beauty shops and some barber shops), the professional line of Avlon products has various names. From the previously mentioned KeraCare, to Affirm, FiberGuard, MoisturColor and Ferm. All these products have become quite popular in Black beauty shops. It shows that anyone willing can do well for themselves in the market and it is interesting how Blacks themselves are unable to continue capitalizing on most of it.

Dr. Ali N. Syed is encouraging his fellow Shia Muslim associates to make the most of opportunities in America and is pointing out how to be successful in the “ethnic” hair care market. On May 27, 2006, Dr. Syed gave a presentation at the 4th annual Universal Muslim Association of America conference. You can get a copy of his presentation slides here. On one slide he mentions:

International Environment
Example of Ethnic Hair Products

• American Technology of Ethnic products has always been superior to European, African, and South American Products.
• Rest of the world looks to Americans for the leadership role in this segment
• Once a product is successful in the US, it is easily acceptable in rest of the world

His slides also show how he built his company in the Black ethnic hair care market and he’s encouraging other Shia Muslims to build their own businesses. Another of his slides mentions:

Implications for the Shia Professionals

• Start a new Shia-owned Business
• Start a new Shia-owned chain of companies (Mass Production Concept)
• Develop your business into a Multinational Business
• Help others in the community starting or developing their businesses.

You can read more about the Universal Muslim Association of America’s ties to the Bush Administration here.

Another presentation slide shows how Dr. Syed came up with his business strategy. He built it off the failures of others who market to Blacks.

Macro Environment Analysis ? Example of Avlon

Various Manufacturers did not provide top quality products to Hairstylists in Ethnic Market

The products? exclusivity to Hairstylists was not guaranteed because of Manufacturer Greed

This analysis provided Avlon with the formulation of its strategy

Soon I think Blacks will be going to seminars run by non-Blacks, just to figure out how the best market products to Blacks. But I guess the idea of offering the best and standing by your product works no matter the race being marketed to. It’s just interesting to see how it all plays out in the Black hair care industry.

There is a good article at often Liberal leaning Examiner.com about Barack Hussein Obama, titled “Can a past of Islam change the path to president for Obama?“.

It details how Obama’s mostly Muslim school in Indonesia did teach him about Islam. And remember one school in Indonesia has him documented as a Muslim.

The article also notes something odd about a man who claims the Christian faith. He claims a party that he knows has a strong base of sinners, who fear possibly having some of their sinful activity inhibited.

(From the Examiner.com article)

…
As for the Democratic Party, Obama observed that ?a core segment of our constituency remains stubbornly secular in orientation, and fears ? rightly, no doubt ? that the agenda of an assertively Christian nation may not make room for them or their life choices.?

Although the overwhelming majority of Americans describe themselves as Christians, Obama does not believe that any one religion should define the United States.

?We are no longer just a Christian nation,? he argues in ?Audacity,? which was published last year. ?We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.?
…

I find it interesting that Obama says America is “no longer” a Christian nation. This means he feels America once was a Christian nation. America has always had people of other faiths living here, although most Americans have always been Christian. So if Obama feels America was once a Christian nation, by his own definition, I have to wonder when does he think America stopped being a Christian nation? Did it stop being a Christian nation for him once he felt he could get more campaign funds from his deviant-Liberal base by downplaying America’s Christian majority? At America’s founding, just after his election as the first US President, George Washington gave a speech on religious freedom at a Jewish Synagogue and the founders specifically made efforts to ensure Muslims (then called Mohammedans or Mahometans) living in America at that time were allowed to practice their cult faith. So for Obama to act as if non-Christians just showed up is a bit bogus. The bottom line is that people of various faiths and cults have always called America their home, but the Christian faith has always held dominance.

Obama just enjoys taking slaps at devout Christians, while he claims the faith himself. Because he hopes playing both sides wins him votes. The article notes how Obama shows disdain for devout Christians, who don’t check their Christianity when they walk out the church doors, but carry it into the voting booth. But at the same time, the article details how Obama shows the greatest of respect for devout Muslims in his own family and how he vows to stand with Muslims if “the political winds shift in an ugly direction”. It shows a dichotomy between disrespect for Christians while lauding Muslims. Oh, but he says he’s a Christian.

Will this milk toast Christian attain the highest office of the Executive branch of this mostly Christian nation? The polls say he’s got a shot. But he won’t get it with my vote!

As I’ve mentioned before, the ABC movie The Path to 9/11 had sections deleted because of pressure from Democratic political figures. We now know what one of the edited scenes looked like in its entirety.

I figured YouTube was most appropriate for getting it to the masses, so below is the video that was shown last night on the FoxNews program Hannity’s America.

In the clip, former President Bill Clinton’s National Security Adviser Sandy Berger refuses to authorize an attempt to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. Berger attempts to pass responsibility to former CIA head George Tenet and Tenet immediately balks. There was actionable intelligence and Sandy Berger refused to give the green light on the action or even say I’ll call Bill Clinton right now and get back with you.

After the clip, writer Cyrus Nowrasteh mentions that former CIA field agent Gary Schroen said the movie was accurate and that by his count 13 opportunities to capture or kill Osama bin Laden were passed up, while he was serving in the field in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

I did not include something else in that clip, but during last night’s program it was mentioned by Michael Scheuer, that the 9/11 Commission passed up the opportunity to reveal more information the the public about passed up opportunities to kill Osama bin Laden prior to 9/11/2001.

My friend Jimbo sent me this and it’s a very timely message.

12 Things The Negro Must Do For Himself

by Nannie Helen Burroughs

(Circa Early 1900’s)

1. The Negro Must Learn To Put First Things First. The First Things Are: Education; Development of Character Traits; A Trade and Home Ownership.

• The Negro puts too much of his earning in clothes, in food, in show and in having what he calls “a good time.” The Dr. Kelly Miller said, “The Negro buys what he WANTS and begs for what he needs.”

2. The Negro Must Stop Expecting God and White Folk To Do For Him What He Can Do For Himself.

• It is the “Divine Plan” that the strong shall help the weak, but even God does not do for man what man can do for himself. The Negro will have to do exactly what Jesus told the man (in John 5:8) to do–Carry his own load–”Take up your bed and walk.”

3. The Negro Must Keep Himself, His Children And His Home Clean And Make The Surroundings In Which He Lives Comfortable and Attractive.

• He must learn to “run his community up”–not down. We can segregate by law, we integrate only by living. Civilization is not a matter of race, it is a matter of standards. Believe it or not–some day, some race is going to outdo the Anglo-Saxon, completely. It can be the Negro race, if the Negro gets sense enough. Civilization goes up and down that way.

4. The Negro Must Learn To Dress More Appropriately For Work And For Leisure.

• Knowing what to wear–how to wear it–when to wear it and where to wear it, are earmarks of common sense, culture and also an index to character.

5. The Negro Must Make His Religion An Everyday Practice And Not Just A Sunday-Go-To-Meeting Emotional Affair.

6. The Negro Must Highly Resolve To Wipe Out Mass Ignorance.

• The leaders of the race must teach and inspire the masses to become eager and determined to improve mentally, morally and spiritually, and to meet the basic requirements of good citizenship.
• We should initiate an intensive literacy campaign in America, as well as in Africa. Ignorance– satisfied ignorance –is a millstone about the neck of the race. It is democracy’s greatest burden.
• Social integration is a relationship attained as a result of the cultivation of kindred social ideals, interests and standards.
• It is a blending process that requires time, understanding and kindred purposes to achieve. Likes alone and not laws can do it.

7. The Negro Must Stop Charging His Failures Up To His “Color” And To White People’s Attitude.

• The truth of the matter is that good service and conduct will make senseless race prejudice fade like mist before the rising sun.
• God never intended that a man’s color shall be anything other than a badge of distinction. It is high time that all races were learning that fact. The Negro must first QUALIFY for whatever position he wants. Purpose, initiative, ingenuity and industry are the keys that all men use to get what they want. The Negro will have to do the same. He must make himself a workman who is too skilled not to be wanted, and too DEPENDABLE not to be on the job, according to promise or plan. He will never become a vital factor in industry until he learns to put into his work the vitalizing force of initiative, skill and dependability. He has gone “RIGHTS” mad and “DUTY” dumb.

8. The Negro Must Overcome His Bad Job Habits.

• He must make a brand new reputation for himself in the world of labor. His bad job habits are absenteeism, funerals to attend, or a little business to look after. The Negro runs an off and on business. He also has a bad reputation for conduct on the job–such as petty quarrelling with other help, incessant loud talking about nothing; loafing, carelessness, due to lack of job pride; insolence, gum chewing and–too often–liquor drinking. Just plain bad job habits!

9. He Must Improve His Conduct In Public Places.

• Taken as a whole, he is entirely too loud and too ill-mannered.
• There is much talk about wiping out racial segregation and also much talk about achieving integration.
• Segregation is a physical arrangement by which people are separated in various services.
• It is definitely up to the Negro to wipe out the apparent justification or excuse for segregation.
• The only effective way to do it is to clean up and keep clean. By practice, cleanliness will become a habit and habit becomes character.

10. The Negro Must Learn How To Operate Business For People–Not For Negro People, Only.

• To do business, he will have to remove all typical “earmarks,” business principles; measure up to accepted standards and meet stimulating competition, graciously–in fact, he must learn to welcome competition.

11. The Average So-Called Educated Negro Will Have To Come Down Out Of The Air. He Is Too Inflated Over Nothing. He Needs An Experience Similar To The One That Ezekiel Had–(Ezekiel 3:14-19). And He Must Do What Ezekiel Did

• Otherwise, through indifference, as to the plight of the masses, the Negro, who thinks that he has escaped, will lose his own soul. It will do all leaders good to read Hebrew 13:3, and the first Thirty-seven Chapters of Ezekiel.
• A race transformation itself through its own leaders and its sensible “common people.” A race rises on its own wings, or is held down by its own weight. True leaders are never “things apart from the people.” They are the masses. They simply got to the front ahead of them. Their only business at the front is to inspire to masses by hard work and noble example and challenge them to “Come on!” Dante stated a fact when he said, “Show the people the light and they will find the way!”
• There must arise within the Negro race a leadership that is not out hunting bargains for itself. A noble example is found in the men and women of the Negro race, who, in the early days, laid down their lives for the people. Their invaluable contributions have not been appraised by the “latter-day leaders.” In many cases, their names would never be recorded, among the unsung heroes of the world, but for the fact that white friends have written them there.
  “Lord, God of Hosts, Be with us yet.”
• The Negro of today does not realize that, but, for these exhibits A’s, that certainly show the innate possibilities of members of their own race, white people would not have been moved to make such princely investments in lives and money, as they have made, for the establishment of schools and for the on-going of the race.

12. The Negro Must Stop Forgetting His Friends. “Remember.”

• Read Deuteronomy 24:18. Deuteronomy rings the big bell of gratitude. Why? Because an ingrate is an abomination in the sight of God. God is constantly telling us that “I the Lord thy God delivered you” –through human instrumentalities.
• The American Negro has had and still has friends–in the North and in the South. These friends not only pray, speak, write, influence others, but make unbelievable, unpublished sacrifices and contributions for the advancement of the race–for their brothers in bonds.
• The noblest thing that the Negro can do is to so live and labor that these benefactors will not have given in vain. The Negro must make his heart warm with gratitude, his lips sweet with thanks and his heart and mind resolute with purpose to justify the sacrifices and stand on his feet and go forward– “God is no respecter of persons. In every nation, he that feareth him and worketh righteousness is” sure to win out. Get to work! That’s the answer to everything that hurts us. We talk too much about nothing instead of redeeming the time by working.
  
  R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R
• In spite of race prejudice, America is brim full of opportunities. Go after them!

I think someone originally found it at this site, that offers more details about the person behind it. Also the Library of Congress has more about Nannie Helen Burroughs on their site.

Given that powerful piece was written in the early 1900’s, it is amazing that about 100 years have passed and too many Black folks still don’t get it.
