The Truth Will Set You FREE

Many of you are probably wondering why I am blogging a lot about politics lately, well here is why I am...

From what I can tell (correct me if I am wrong) I am the only black person blogging in the multiple sclerosis community I refer to as my virtual friends. I have not been around lately because of school and my posts have been about politics. I chose Blinders Off as my name when I start blogging in 2005 because of politics in America and struggling with myself about my loyalty to the Democrat Party. I kept the name because I became a blog junkie and I decided to blog about my life living with multiple sclerosis.

Through the blogosphere I met some wonderful progressive white liberal bloggers in my home state (too many to name) and one from Nashville (NewsComa). Christian Progressive Liberal was the first black person I start reading and through her I found some wonderful African American Blogs (too many to name also), but there is one I must name and that is Field Negro (do not let the name scare you off). His blog is one of the most honest hard-hitting African American blog in the blogosphere. The people that comments there are also honest and hard hitting (with a few exceptions here and there) that is why today I confess I am a Fieldoholic.

Robster post in one of his comments today links the entire Reverend Jeremiah Wright sermons; The five-second sound bite that is being spinned to scare and continue the racial divide in America by Fox(Fake) News and MSM should be seen in it's entirety before judgment is passed on Barack Obama and his former pastor Rev. Wright.

I know many people are lurking because one of the best MS bloggers (BrainCheese) shared how we can tell who is lurking around our blogs.

Back to the Why the Truth Will Set You Free. Please look at the following two videos of Obama's former pastor Rev. Wright in its entirety and then make your judgment do not base your judgment solely on the manipulation of Fake News and others who do not want America to move forward...

Politics In America and Being Black

This post probably disturb some of my MS bloggers, but I have always been opinionated and when it is election time in my city and America, I am just as opinionated. This is going to be a long blog entry and it is going to be an entry that I keep up for awhile.

Politics is a F****ing Dirty Game and with the season upon us again. I am reliving the HELL I went through supporting the city I live in Mayor, remembering the racially charged election that happened in the city Memphis Mayor race in 2007, and now witnessing the under handed tactics of the Clinton camp.

I personally cannot get absorbed in the wonderful world of politics, my mind is made up as to what I am going to do, which is not support the Mayor of my city this year and not vote for Hillary Clinton if she wins the Democrat nomination.

Once I am finished writing how I am feeling about politics in America I will update this post and remove myself from America Politics for a few weeks. Hell, I just got over from an exacerbation and I will be damned if I work myself up to another one behind politics. Which is nothing more than a different day, but the same sh*t.

UPDATE

They are keeping it real in the Fields about what is happening in this race for POTUS. I will not post my personal local fight when it comes to politics. What I like about the Fields is that people of all races express their honest opinions and there is honest dialogue. MSM need to realize that there is a lot of power from political blogs hosted by African Americans. What you see happening on a national level in politics is just as bad on a local level.

I am ready for a freaking change when it comes to politics and race. I hope that this will be the year African Americans and other minorities make an impact on how Democrats and Republicans treat the minority vote.

This is shaping up to be the year when both parties will hear minorities and the poor loud and clear.
