African American Journalist – Roland Martin Tells DFLers The Truth About Their Racial Inequalities Everywhere – I Love it!

Alright, so how exactly does this relate to autism. Well, it does because those same elected officials who refuse to hire Black political consultants, share grants, share resources and so much more are the same heartless blood sucking DFL politicians who are in charge of autism related departments, agencies and providers in Minnesota and Nationwide. Did you know that U.S HHS has zero Black person in charge of any agency within HHS, not counting usually powerless and broke civil rights or office of minority health. Yet, Black Americans suffer with so much racial health disparity, isn’t that sad.

If we just concentrate in Minnesota – MDH (Minnesota Department of Health) has so many assistant commissioners – zero are Black. Their child and maternal health department where autism falls under – less than 10 are Black out of over 120. Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has so many legislative liaisons who keep an eye and an ear in state health policies – zero are Black. Governor Dayton’s commissioners of over two dozen, only one is Black and his agency MDHR (Minn dept of human rights) is under-funded, over-whelmed and doesn’t even have their own building. I think MDH gave them a floor (probably next to the dumpster) in one of the many MDH buildings. MN DEED – the agency in charge of economics and employment in Minnesota has zero Black assistant commissioners or even one Black person in charge of anything meaningful, yet MN has the largest employment gap between White and Black workers in the country. Imagine that level of out of touch in Dayton’s administration.

Out of the hundreds of millions of dollars MN and especially Minneapolis award in government contracts – less than 1% goes into minority owned businesses. Yet Blacks and other minorities keep voting for DLFers. Why the heck is that. Isn’t insanity doing the same thing and expecting different results. Reid would rather give endless speech about some football team’s name than hire Black policy advisers and management in his office. Franken would rather lecture us at Somali day (thanks to Ka Joog toddlers) than hire our extremely talented Somalis in his office as policy aides and management. Thissen would rather preach us at making $10.00 hour rather than fix our schools that fail Black kids at an embarrassing rate. Bakk would rather pretend he does not see minority racial gaps than actually write uplifting policy legislations.

Dayton and heartless hammer Smith would rather pretend we have amnesia and show up in Somali events than hire Somali policy folks, management, change disparity policies and actually govern fairly by leveling the opportunity field. Ellison & Klobuchar would rather keep our talented Somalis at a constituent outreach positions for years because they think that is all we are good for and we let them make a fool of us.

You see folks – this is our fault because we keep electing the same politicians who have failed our communities, our children and our families. Why do we do it? Ask yourself – would you rehire a bad employee? If you said no. Then why are you voting for a bad politicians who only remembers you during elections and flips you when he/she wins?

Remember when Kanye W said about the very liberal and ever welcoming fashion industry – he looked around one day and said to himself “no one looks like me and the two that do are as quiet as crap”. Minnesota state legislator has less than 10 minority legislators and only three are Black out of hundreds. Those three sadly are either quite and never stand up for our issues or just go along with the racial inequality policies that Caucasian MN DFLers are known for writing. I have always wondered why that was. Another example, why doesn’t President Obama does not hire more Blacks in a position of power. Remember during the start of his 2nd term – he initially hired all White male for his cabinet and in one picture it showed all of them and I think Valerie Jarrett’s leg or something. And, all of the White liberal media that is ever welcoming kept reporting – where are the minorities and women in this administration. Then he started hiring women including Janet Yellen Chair of Federal Reserve Bank but hardly any Blacks were nominated. Even CBC (Congressional Black Caucus) wrote a letter to him and Rep Rangel said it was embarrassing. Yet, The president still did not hire people from his most loyal voters. I have always wondered why that was. Let me put this in a gentle friendly manner to our President – imagine if there was a woman police chief in a big city, yet high number of women were being assaulted and harassed. And, when women asked her to fix this problem – her sole response was “well I am a woman and I am at the top that is good enough for all women”. You being our first Black president is simply no longer good enough. You have to listen to your loyal voters that most likely put you in office. For example, instead of concentrating on immigration issues this year, concentrate U.S. born Americans having racial health, education and economic disparities. Instead of just creating my brother’s keeper – push racial equality policies for young African American men whose future is very dismal.

No, I am not going to contact the White House and ask them these questions, God knows I have bothered them enough about autism. But, as a Black woman who supported Mr. Obama and even campaigned for him as far away as IN and PA – I must say, I am a little disappointed because if a woman ever became a president (hopefully not Hillary) – I know she would be grateful to women voters and appoint them to many high positions. I think loyalty should be very important to politicians and for some reason – it is not for MN DFLers and many nationwide DFLers even though Blacks vote for them overwhelmingly. I think we must change our voting pattern or racial disparity will never get eliminated.

If I may in Obama’s defense when he came to MN last week and met a woman who wrote him a letter, I once wrote to him during his first term and actually
got a letter in response. So, I know he reads letters sent to him. I also wrote to Speaker Boehner once and got a response letter from him as well. I am not sure how a rookie autism advocate does that, but it happened. Of course, they both highlighted what they have done for autism.

Here is Roland’s fantastic piece on how DFLers take Black/minority votes for granted.

Has President Obama done enough for his loyal voters.
