Respect Due: When John McCain Ran Against Barack Obama (Video)
February 20, 2018
Here’s the thing: We CAN agree without being disagreeable. We can ALL be of one nation and be completely opposite in our views, even values. BUT we should value AND respect each other. And we should expect the candidates – yes ALL candidates – to AT LEAST hold to that level of decorum.
We have seen when they have not. Watch here though, when the guy I did NOT vote for showed RESPECT for his opponent. John McCain, stood tall here. Gave respect to his opponent, who would become President.
Remember, folks. The person running against your person is not ‘bad’ for that reason. Give credit when earned and respect when it is due. Respect Senator McCain. Respect.

Talib Kweli And Bill Maher Discuss #BlackLivesMatter Protesters Interrupting Bernie Sanders’ Presidential Campaign Speech (Video)
September 9, 2015
Bill Maher: Why Bernie Sanders? …If you’re gonna interrupt somebody… This guy had a hundred percent approval rating from the NAACP.
Talib Kweli: NAACP liked Donald Sterling, too.
And folks, that’s how we dig into a real conversation! Watch the video clip above and gain some perspective.
A while back, #BlackLivesMatter shut down a speech appearance by 2016 Presidential hopeful and leading American Progressive Bernie Sanders. Many disagreed with the women who took the mic. But EVERYONE paid attention, talked about it, talked about #BlackLivesMatter from many angles. Whether you ultimately agree or disagree with the tactic, Kweli does make a couple of solid points. The first, the duty of activist-protesters is to disrupt and gain the platform (which #BlackLivesMatter did LITERALLY). The second, NO candidate should take the Black vote for granted in 2016.
Very interesting. Do you agree with Kweli? Discuss…
