President Obama has a commercial running stating that he will take personal if you don't vote. Sad that his failed eight years in office was all personal for him, along with the banks and insurance companies and not about the people who voted for him. Voters in low income communities feel more abandonment from our government than ever. Thanks to personal agendas of politicians versus the peoples agendas. Personal agendas reflect the out of touch with all of society mentality and is the reason so many eligible voters are not voting or have switched parties to vote for independent candidates who speak to the needs and desires of people wanting to be represented in our local, state and federal government.
i set out to interview African Americans and other cultures about the November 8th 2016 election to get their feel. Most are disappointed with how the Democratic platform was stolen from Bernie Sanders because of the personal agenda that will do anything to try to become the first woman president. Then the democratic party wanted to blame Bernie Sanders and say that it's all his fault that we the people with our own minds and votes left the democratic party. When in reality Bernie Sanders was the only reason we choose to support a democrat and the democratic party didn't want to listen to the people's choice because of their own personal agendas. #BernieOrBust is the voice of the people not corporate America.
i recently saw and shared a video by Diamond and Silk. These women are fed up with the democratic party and have valid reasons. They support Donald Trump and were being labeled coons versus women with their own personal opinions about the democratic party. These women are not paid by white people to entertain white people, they are expressing their views. If these women are cooning so is Oprah Winfrey (who fits the following definition to a T, i mean she put white people all over free national t.v. and blacks on her paid cable channel) and any other black person performing for the white democratic candidates.
Cooning is a verb derived from the word coon. A coon was/is a person of african decent whose sole purpose was/is to entertain white people. These 'coons' started out as wearing black face, characterized by haveing big eyes and painting big red lips on their face. These people would tap dance, play instruments and sing.
Modern day coons are blacks who play stereotypical roles and black entertainers that promote ignorance.
The name calling and labeling for personal opinions is the thorn keeping African Americans from being organized. Yes there are African Americans who will sell out other African Americans and we have to call those traders out because they are killing us. But just cause you don't agree with someone else opinion doesn't make them a coon. Especially when other African Americans enjoy and support the entertainment. #EducationStartsAtHome Don't put your personal agenda of blackness on the rest of us. This is how the conscious African American community separates itself from the rest of the African American community and create deeply rooted wounds. (President Obama is a perfect example) If they are really so conscious they should be able to understand that we are a culture of differences and icebergs need to be considered before acting like paranoid white people labeling people within our culture.

By Chris Hedges - We are captive to images and forms of propaganda that make us the most self-deluded population on the planet. We are driven by manipulated emotions, not fact or reason. And this is why, even now, Donald Trump could become president.
