Barack Obama – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com Current Affairs Sat, 18 Feb 2023 05:39:22 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.4 https://i0.wp.com/selfequanimity.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/SE-Copy.png?fit=32%2C32 Barack Obama – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com 32 32 176655959 Black People built America, Trump said it out loud!!!! http://selfequanimity.com/black-people-built-america-trump-said-it-out-loud/ Sun, 12 Feb 2023 01:16:12 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=1992 This will be a short one,  I was surprised this wasn’t a hit on the mainstream media,  this wasn’t repeated over and over again, just the narrative that he was a racist.  if we are looking for any proof that the mainstream media shapes the narrative by using very emotional arguments.

The fact is that not even the Democratic darling Joe Biden has said this, coming to think of it not even the first black president said this, he said he wanted to be the president for ALL  Americans. it’s been two years since the election and I’m only finding this out. if we all are, to be honest, it was us black people who help Joe Biden win the election, even though Joe Biden openly insulted us, and he chose a confused lady to be her vice president, one who kept black men in jail for big business, oh Biden did the same thing, I guess everyone was more emotional than factual.

For anyone who doubts this, I have attached the audio, you can listen to it yourself.

Now the difficult question…… Who is more likely to pay reparations?? Biden or Trump?????

Student Loans forgiven, Now we all can be rich!!! http://selfequanimity.com/student-loans-forgiven-now-we-all-can-be-rich/ http://selfequanimity.com/student-loans-forgiven-now-we-all-can-be-rich/#respond Wed, 21 Sep 2022 03:28:06 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=1883 Man!  That Biden ,he is just a good guy and feels for the common man doesn’t he ???? He is the best president since Barack Obama!!!, the closest we can get to a third Obama term. He has forgiven student loans up to $10,000. If your loans are only up to $10,000 then you are completely in debt FREE!!!!. WHAT AN HONORABLE GESTURE!!!!! it will cost $300 billion while we have $1.6 trillion in student loan debt.

Hmmmmmm not so fast, there are many moving parts to this. First and foremost, we are not asking how long this loan forgiveness is for?,  is it for new borrowers???. If we are honest with ourselves we should be asking how we even got here in the first place and what we can do to solve and prevent future generations from suffering a similar fate. 

     The economy is an interesting one, there are good sides to it like any economy, before we understand what is going on we need to consider history.  To start with, the loan industry is made up of bubbles, and as time goes on bubbles do burst. 

Once upon a time, you could pay for college with a part-time job,  college wasn’t that expensive and with a little discipline, that dream could be achieved. This started a long time ago. Well, some say it was during Ronald Reagan’s era others say it was earlier than that,  as far back as world war 2, but all of the politicians from the 50s have contributed to high college tuition costs. This was all due to  Certain policies that were put in place even   Barack Obama put in a few policies of his own a few years ago.  This all started with the best of intentions I must say, well Russia had just launched something into space, and there was competition, America needed to educate its population,  This was in the time of Dwight Eisenhower,  So in order to have a more educated population than the Russians, in order to beat them at the space race, the National Defense Education Act was enacted in 1958 and that was the beginning of all this.  As time went on there was the Higher  Education Act of 1965  which freed up more money for higher education. By 1970 more people went to college than ever before, but like I said before it was the beginning of all this student loan madness that we have today. The long and short of it is once the college loan industry was in full swing tuition costs rose up because of course anyone can borrow the money and go to school, so colleges say hey even if we charge more anyone can borrow the money, that is what loans are for ….. because of this and other sources of revenue colleges have large endowments funds which are managed by hedge funds managers.  interesting .  Now for time purposes, i will summarize a few things about how we got here. Most people don’t remember 4 presidents ago so ill start with Obama,  According to Mr. Obama, he didn’t want to stand with the banks so he cut out the banks allowing the department of education to become the largest creditor/Bank then outsourcing most of the work to private companies. Wow who could have seen this disaster coming huh??? 

        Well so this is a brief history of how we got into this mess, so if this systemic structure is not fixed, well the loan forgiveness would mean a bandaid on a problem that goes deeper than a mere blister. This may surprise a few people but we have 9  presidents who never went to college, 

George Washington,

Andrew Jackson,

Martin Van Buren,

Zachary Taylor,

Millard Fillmore,

Abraham Lincoln,

Andrew Johnson,

Grover Cleveland,

Harry Truman.

Also some of these schools have large endowment funds, so I would say the schools can make more scholarships to students can’t they? $300 billion will come from taxpayers…. while their endowment funds are intact, Harvard alone has over $50 billion dollars in assets….. and it is under management, like a hedge fund …. Interesting!!!!!

Classes , its a wonderful World http://selfequanimity.com/classes-its-a-wonderful-thing/ http://selfequanimity.com/classes-its-a-wonderful-thing/#respond Wed, 13 Jul 2022 06:21:48 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=1852 What do these 2 men have in common????  if you were paying attention to the recent presidential elections, well we are told that they don’t have anything in common, nothing at all.  The fact is these 2 have a lot more in common than you may think, for one they belong to the same class. The wealthy and powerful class, secondly when it comes to money and wealth, businesses, have very similar ideas, let us not forget President Obama who also belongs to that same class. the fact is before someone ascends the throne of the presidency, they already belong to the wealthy class. So it is almost like we are being asked, which wealthy person are we going to let lead us.   I say this because of a few reasons, for one it takes money to be in politics, and one thing that happens during economic booms and busts is that there is a massive transfer of wealth, usually from the poor to the rich. Every time there is a recession and people say we are losing money, where the money is going?  it’s a debt and credit society, so if we are losing money, someone is gaining that same amount,  although we are told is not a zero sum game, it feels like it is, for example, during Obama’s time, his labor department change a policy, concerning retirement funds and 401k’s, As we are well aware, funds, 401ks are invested in the stock market, etc…but there is a limit to where and how the funds are invested, and this is to prevent losses, or should I say a massive transfer of wealth. Well, some of these business interests lobbied the government to change the law so funds can be invested anywhere. That means riskier assets and any investments which these private equity firms deem fit. Just like political law that was changed so politicians can receive funds from anywhere, from Bush’s government to Obama’s government, through Donald Trump’s government to present-day Job Biden’s government, private equity firms made over $200 Billion, according to one  Oxford professor, “This wealth transfer from several hundred million pension scheme members to a few thousand people working in private equity might be one of the largest in the history of modern finance,”

Funny they are all on the same page when it comes to money, This is why I say Policy, not people, I cannot blame them for putting their interests first, I blame the common man for not paying attention to what is going on, this is news that no one really knows about or hardly care!. We are caught up in the emotions of politics and we just go with the flow.   

Trump at least tried to do something for the common man, but can I blame him for trying to enrich himself in the process, NO!!!! No matter how the rich hate each other, if it’s a business that they will all benefit from, they will put their differences aside, even if it is just for one minute. Never mind political parties, they all belong to the Rich class!!!

He made HISTORY R.I.P Bob Dole! http://selfequanimity.com/he-made-history-r-i-p-bob-dole/ http://selfequanimity.com/he-made-history-r-i-p-bob-dole/#respond Mon, 06 Dec 2021 06:17:01 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=1527 This is a short one, I  heard on the news that Senator Robert Dole had passed, he was 98, he died peacefully in his sleep.  Unknown to most people, Senator Bob Dole was responsible for inviting Eazy E to the white house, it was a Republican fundraiser held by President HW Bush,  with one plate of food costing $2500 to $4000.  He got the invitation and attended the event with his lawyer, Mr. Jerry Heller. It was unheard of that a Republican President such as George HW Bush would invite a rapper like Eazy E to the white house. In those times Eazy E was having a “disagreement” with Ice Cube,  and other rappers. Ice Cube made mention of this in his song ” No Vaseline”.I never have dinner with the president “. Again Unknown to most people it wasn’t President Barack Obama who started inviting rappers to the white house it was actually President  George H.W. Bush.

Some sources say he was invited by mistake, I disagree with that because if he was invited by mistake they could have gone into damage control and turned him away at the door. There was time for them to crosscheck and double-check who was on the invitation list, they have secret service, they had all the resources at their disposal. I personally do not think it was a mistake. Every now and then it seems to surprise us,(especially black people ) that two people of opposing views can become friends, or even sit to have a conversation without a media frenzy!

Take the case of John McCain and Larry  Fitzgerald, A lot of people did not know they were friends. Their friendship run so deep that McCain came to watch his games, and they visited each other at home. Most people did not know this.   Mr. Fitzgerald even spoke at McCain’s funeral with a few jokes about how odd their friendship was. 

Maybe we all can learn from this!!!

Black Men Trump Voters, GET BACK on the Plantation!!! http://selfequanimity.com/black-men-trump-voters/ http://selfequanimity.com/black-men-trump-voters/#respond Fri, 20 Nov 2020 03:25:02 +0000 http://selfequanimity.com/?p=1112 Obama says, ” the bling, the women, the money, in rap music could explain Trump’s increased appeal to some rappers and black Male Voters”.

Some rappers looked at Biden’s tax plan and said, wait a minute I don’t want that much taxes taken from me, I won’t lower taxes, they tend to support Trump, for example, 50 cents, (who was reminded by the white woman that he was black therefore he better get back on the democratic plantation) Lil Wayne also supported Trump, not to mention Kanye West, Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, just to name a few, anyone who understands business knows that high taxes are a detriment to businesses.  People like Warren Buffet say he should pay more taxes, well we are taxed according to our incomes, People like Warren Buffet don’t make incomes the same way we do.  People like Larry Ellison make $1 in salary/income, how does anyone tax that. 

Wasn’t this same man who cracked down on the occupy wall street folks, when he was president ??  I hope people understand that black people are the only group of people in America who vote 90% democrat every 4 years.  The sad thing is that what Obama is not saying is that, Black men have had enough, and want something new, so therefore they vote for Trump.  A man who after his presidency purchased a $12 million house is saying that Black Men should not admire success,  and should not fall for the appeal of success, NOOOO, we should stay in our poverty and shut up,  too many times have blackness been equated to poverty so successful black men have to pretend to be poor just to fit in, and it is just sad.  Now Obama went on to say

” I have to remind myself that if you listen to rap music, it is all about the bling, the women, the money” a lot of rap videos are using the same measures of what it means to be successful as Donald Trump.

P Diddy & Trump
P Diddy & Trump (before he was president)

 

Let us not forget, Jay Z and Beyonce raised $4 million for Obama, They couldn’t have raised that amount of money if they were not successful,  (the women and the money) before 2016 most black rappers, (mainly men) admired Trump’s success,  even Jay Z, said in one of his songs “I’m at the Trump International ask for me “,  they loved Trump then 2016 came around and it was almost instantaneous, now they all hate him for no reason other than what they are told to say he is. This man just made a general statement about black hip hop/rap and everyone is just quiet about it, there is a public enemy song that was just released this year, called “State of the Union(STFU) “Women and money huh” ???? 

I don’t know about you, but I like money, so does every pastor in the United States, and the world over.  The funny thing is that there is a slow and study awakening within black men, and some people don’t want to see it,   I think everything is being done to stop that.  We are beginning to understand what is at stake this is why things like this are said.   In the ’80s and ’90s, black people loved Trump for being successful.

Sad thing is that in this day and age when you are called a Trump supporter, you are almost equated to the Devil,  I wonder why the black community is silent on this,  our videos yes have women and money.  it is almost as if blackness is to be poor, and to say ” how dare you, black folks”,  Hahaha!  Not every black man has our interest please it is time we learn this!

if we are proud of our culture, then we have to be honest that Trump has been “blacker” than Obama ever was!!!

RIP, Black Panther, Shut up Politicians http://selfequanimity.com/rip-black-panther-shut-up-politicians/ http://selfequanimity.com/rip-black-panther-shut-up-politicians/#respond Sat, 29 Aug 2020 17:32:51 +0000 http://selfequanimity.com/?p=857 This is one of the few times where I  wish Vibranium was real, it could have cured, our beloved Chadwick Boseman,  No one knew he was battling cancer, Stage 3, that is a strong brother, he was able to do what he does best while fighting this horrible disease. He is in a better place right now resting from this cold world. 2020 has been a year that will go down in history. Although history does repeat itself all the time. 

     What brings me to really writing this post is how the politicians are using this as a stepping stone.  The left was quick to offer condolences before President Trump, so that people will say, oh they are down for the black cause, after all, Chadwick represents a symbol of black royalty and black power.    I see people on twitter trying to say, President Trump hasn’t said anything about his death.  I’m always surprised about how people use Trump for anything bad that happens, its almost as if, if they could blame him they will. if you ask me how then can Biden say this about him today when he was vice president when the president took money from HBCU’s, something that Boseman benefitted from, so  Shut up politicians, this man made it on his own,  he thanked Denzel Washington and that is as far as  I will go, he didn’t look up to any of you politicians.

Denzel Washington

Yes Chadwick took a picture with Kamala Harris, Yes Chadwick went to the White House when Obama was president, yes, he said a few words about politics, but I don’t think we should remember him by what politicians he stood with or took pictures with but by his work, in his 43 years he had done more than most of us will ever do!!!!!!.

Chadwick Boseman
Chadwick Boseman

     If I may I would like to remember him by him shedding tears when children who were battling cancer themselves died before black panther release, knowing that he was going through the same thing himself. According to what I read, 2 of the children were trying to hold on until the movie came out but they didn’t make it. They died before black panther was released, if we believe in something greater than ourselves, and some intelligent life force out there watching over us, then it is my sincere hope that he is able to meet these children who went before him. I also hope that everyone  he has brought to life on the big screen  (James Brown, Thurgood Marshall, Jackie Robinson)

Kobe Bryant & Chadwick Boseman

Rest in Peace Chadwick !!!!!!

Did you watch the Democratic Convention? Now here are the facts!! http://selfequanimity.com/did-you-watch-the-democratic-convention-now-here-are-the-facts/ http://selfequanimity.com/did-you-watch-the-democratic-convention-now-here-are-the-facts/#respond Thu, 20 Aug 2020 05:51:49 +0000 http://selfequanimity.com/?p=749 I watched parts of the convention and listened to some of the speeches,  Needless to say, they are playing on our emotions,  I know a lot of people love hearing President Obama speak because he sounds so good! You got to give it to the Democrats, they have always been smooth talkers.  People are mesmerized when they talk, people like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama in recent times, even John Kerry, is one smooth talker.  The best evidence of their empty words is when they are running against each other, this is when you know you have been played.

I like to direct everyone’s attention to then-Senator Barack Obama, a presidential candidate, in February  2008, he gave a speech in Wisconsin,  then this same Hillary Clinton accused Obama of having “just words” for the people,  so he (Obama) responded by quoting notable people like Martin Luther King, John F Kennedy, just to name a few.  Turns out the whole speech was Plagiarized from a 2006  speech delivered by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, guess who accused him of plagiarism then ??   You guessed it  Hillary Clinton, remember this piece of information next time you listen to the Democrats,  and you are mesmerized by their empty words.  it is also worth remembering that they have accused each other of plagiarism.

Now, let’s go to the feature of the day,   I’m sure people listened to Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton.  There are a lot of lies that were told, but people didn’t get it cause these people know how to appeal to your emotions, first of all, she talked about separating of children at the border, by the DEVIL himself Donald Trump. I’m surprised she left out that the first photos on caged children were actually from 2014,  hmmm I wonder who was president in 2014???  We may never know the answer to this question.  In Obama’s first 3 years, he deported 1.18 Million people. Under Trump it has been about 800,000 in 2012 Obama deported 409,849 people and this was in 2012 alone, Trump has yet to deport 260,000 in a single year. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the Obama government deported a record 3 million people, in a short span, 1.7 million of them had no criminal record.  I will agree with Michelle Obama that being president doesn’t change who you are, it actually reveals who you are, but we are so wrapped up in emotions that we don’t even see certain things and some people in our eyes can do no wrong. She should tell us why her husband was nicknamed “deporter in chief”. All the immigration rights groups gave him that name. After the Washington Post made a mistake of releasing the figures, they found it difficult to explain why Obama had more deportations than the Trump government, I mean Trump is supposed to be the bad one. Even CNN admits to the numbers,  but they say, oh context is everything, but tell that to people who are being deported.  CNN admitted that under the Obama presidency more than 12 million people were deported.(total)

For all these people who are cheerleaders for the democrats,  I urge everyone to do their research, and ask the right questions, not just assume.  both  Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama said something about immigration and conveniently skipped over Obama’s record, especially on immigration.

Now we as black people should wake up and fight for our own, because it seems as if, we don’t really care about our children for if we did, we will first start with the foster care system. The foster care system is notorious for separating black families, but we haven’t had a march for that, no one says anything about that. Through CPS they separate black children easily.

Another question, this might be my last question…. why isn’t anyone asking the first black president why he didn’t use executive privileges to make the voting rights act permanent. Biden said he voted to renew it so many times, but shouldn’t it be permanent? every now and then someone will have to decide if I get to keep my citizenship

Black Lives Matter !!! isn’t that what they say.  Well  Libya was a very stable country,  it wasn’t a utopia but it was doing its best,  it wasn’t a failed state like it is now, Well president Obama orchestrated the military take over in Libya, which toppled their government, everything fell in shambles,  as I type this we have a thriving human trafficking industry in Libya, we all know human tracking is a nice phrase for slavery,  in 2020 black slavery is one of the prominent commodities in Libya…. so someone asked, why don’t you ask those people if black lives really matter ???? especially since they are being sold on the market,  we used to read things like this in books.

Anyone can research these things that I’m saying,  I think we should stop and think about the world around us. Strange times !!
