Who is Lloyd Marcus, that absolutely brilliant Black singer serenading all-white crowd at Tea Party events across the nation?:
Stuff Black People Don't Like can only laugh at the sight of hundreds, thousands and tens of thousands of white people clapping for the melody and pitch challenged Lloyd Marcus as he croons poorly written diatribes against Mein Obama.The singer left no doubt about his politics. Striking up a tune in front of a Republican party meeting in Daytona Beach, Florida, he belted out "New York, New York", but changed the lyrics to an anti-Barack Obama diatribe.
"This socialist nightmare/Must come to an end!" sang Lloyd Marcus, decked out in a cowboy hat, pointed cowboy boots and a leather vest. Six elderly white Republicans were hauled to the front of the room and were soon dancing and kicking their legs in the air.
My Obama blues/Are melting away!" he continued, as the rest of the room cheered wildly. Other songs followed. The Temptations' hit "My Girl" became "Our Girl", about Sarah Palin. Louis Armstrong's hit "What a Wonderful World" was rendered into a patriotic "What a Wonderful Country". Everyone in the room lapped it up, swaying to the words like teenagers at a rock concert, not retirees having lunch in a yacht club.But Marcus has that effect on Republicans. He is the music performer most worshipped by America's right wing; a hero of the conservative Tea Party movement. He plays at Tea Party rallies around the country. And next week, when the movement holds its first national convention in Nashville, Tennessee, Marcus will be there playing to a crowd of thousands.
We recall the infamous Buddy Holly show at the Apollo Theater and can only laugh at the similarities:
A humorous episode results from a misunderstanding in one of their early bookings. Sol Gittler (Dick O'Neill) signs them up sight-unseen for the famous Apollo Theater in Harlem, assuming from their music that they're a black band. When three white Texans show up instead, he is stunned, but unwilling to pay them for doing nothing, he nervously lets them perform and prays fervently that the all-black audience doesn't riot at the sight of the first all-white band to play there. (In real life, that distinction belongs to Jimmy Cavallo and The House Rockers, who played at that venue in 1956.) After an uncomfortable start and an initially hostile crowd, Buddy's songs soon win them over and the Crickets are a tremendous hit. Gitler books them to come back several times.Indeed, Madonna might be right: Music makes the people come together. Any organization that flaunts Lloyd Marcus as an example of why one should fight the current government system is obviously high on the drug that Lloyd Bridges' character in Airplane! repeatedly tried to quit, to no avail.
The people behind the Tea Party movement and the white people who attend rallies have probably had less contact than Lloyd Christmas did in Dumb and Dumber with Black people, which explains Lloyd Marcus and his role with the group.

SBPDL,
Are you trying to compare this talentless uncle tom opportunistic hack to a rock n' roll icon like Buddy Holly?
All politics aside that was a cringe worthy performance at best.
It was as embarrassing as seeing some white dude with his black "girlfriend" going nuts with the "ghetto slang"
Llyod Marcus is such a talented young man. I really enjoyed the way he butchered classics like, New York, New York and My Girl.
Are going to post a link to web site so we can purchase his albums? I want to get them before BMI and Sony signs him to a multi- million dollar record contract.
I can say we are both in total agreement on this one.
I want to see more stories about this ass clown and Micheal Steele.

Black guy,
The whole point of this website is to show the need for re-introducing segregation, so that white people no longer have to put up with the stupid behavior of black people.
Your suck up attitude is getting a little pathetic.
Try to understand that as retarded as Lloyd Marcus may appear to you, most black people seem AT LEAST that retarded to honest white people.
Just trying to help you out.
While I don't agree with calling a black person an Uncle Tom for deviating from the norm (i.e. Shelby Steele or Larry Elder) this guy has minstrel written all over him. You just expect him to start playing "Ham Bone" into an empty corn jug while shucking and jiving and slapping his knee. This gentleman is an ass-clown. The black community can't even accuse him of "acting white" because I thankfully know no white people like him.
Mr. Marcus, if nothing else, knows upon which side his bread is buttered. Here we go again: Trot out the token Black guy who's on OUR side. An anomaly, or a great financial/PR strategy for Mr. Marcus? He is the perfect mirror for "Libtards" to gaze into. I still prefer Frankie's version of the song though.
Lloyd Marcus is an odd sort. He says he is against commie Obama. But wrote an article about his hero Martin Luther King, who was a commie. Kind of a contradiction.
Blacks, no matter if they are supposedly conservative or republican, cannot seem to see the truth about ole MLK. Even white conservatives don't get it.
Then again, the tea party is being taken over by neo cons and moderates. Nothing will change. Obama out, and some neo conservative in. Buisness as usual. I guarantee the republicans have not learned anything from The Bush years.
Whatever.
White people are so ashamed of being pro-white and involved in all white movements that they recruit dancing Uncle Toms to their cause.
They should know that recruiting token blacks won't encourage blacks to join their movement, and that many whites will be disgusted by such pandering (at least those whites who aren't infatuated with the Larry Elder types).
These are interesting times. We whites "who can see" are able to criticize these asinine Tea Parties from our balcony like Statler and Waldorf.

It is certainly a dilemma. Are the enemies of my enemies... also my enemies? On a one-dimensional scale, "conservative" whites are both the very dumbest and the most smart of the pool. Should I join in mocking the flawed ideologies of these shallow whites, shearing them from the ranks of my ever-decreasing minority opinion?
http://www.alternativeright.com/main/blogs/hbd-human-biodiversity/the-red-state-brain-drain/
I can surely muster some fundamental support for Sarah Palin amidst the waves of callous vitriol against her. After all, wouldn't a Democrat endorse Hank Johnson against some hypothetical corpulent white Chris Christie doppelganger? Or was she selected to represent the low common denominator of my fundamental beliefs, as the eloquent Obama gets dick-rided in quite the opposite manner?

If SBPDL were to ask me for an ideal form of government, I would suggest a 400-man (all-male) Republic of elected Senators, who appointed a Caesar from amongst them to hold disproportionate influence. I would impose a flat tax, close borders (admitting those above an aptitude threshold somewhat above the mean, or with lots of money), and subsidize the manufacturing industry, as well as steel and hard metals. I would drill for oil everywhere feasible. I would reintroduce a focus onto vocation trades to the point of subsidy, steering money away from government desk jobs. I would legalize drugs and tax the shit out of them. I would overhaul public education in many ways too extensive to illuminate here, but I would surely over-appropriate for math and science departments.
I would increase the leverage requirements of banks drastically. I would mandate transparency in all "short" orders, but allow them. I would repeal "no fault divorce" and slam the door shut on gay marriage, on purely non-Faithful rationale. I'd cap malpractice claims and appoint two/three private medical insurance conglomerates per state (pending results).
Well, in conclusion, many of these ideals are unrealistic, well-meant as they are. I've been a "Rand-roid" longer than I haven't, but I've always been asshole/conservative since I was picking teams on the kickball field. There is another idea... a Randian idea... that we should PROMOTE liberalism until it collapses on itself, as it inevitably will...
francisco d'anconia up in this bitch
well, SBPDL... consider this! maybe we're with you, and maybe we'd prefer to let it BURN (like usher, the black jesus of the half-decade)
You have posted many videos in the past few days. They look interesting and I would love to view (and listen) to them but I can't, thanks to that obnoxious audio ad. The only way I can turn it off is to turn off the sound on my computer, and then I can't hear the videos.

Stop letting the internet and Hollywood movies be your guide to the real world. We are more segregated today than the 1950's. So, we don't need Google's help to "re-introduce" segregation.
I just look at the world for what it really is from a logical standpoint. If that's what you consider a "suck up attitude" so be it. Besides how is it possible to "suck up" to total strangers on a message board?
I grew up in a predominately black neighborhood. I attended predominately black schools from K-12. I have no personal connections with whites outside of work and school. The truth is I could care less about what white people think, honest or otherwise.
Just trying to help YOU out.
-Black guy
CWN,
It's not a contradiction because Martin Luther King is a "safe" non- polarizing figure. Lying hypocrites pull out MLK to prove whatever asinine point they attempt to make. A lot of uneducated blacks and whites don't know the truth about MLK.
-Black guy
Lucinda,
I apologize about that ad you hear. It will be gone in three more posts. It plays automatically - embedded in the Riots in Kansas City story.
Thanks for reading!
We are more segregated today than the 1950's.
If only that were true! Last time I checked, we had a black president, attorney general, popular celebrities, prominent college professors, and various black pundits who make good money disparaging whites.
Yeah, I know, all of this progress is meaningless and whites are just as bad now as they ever were.
Still, if you think the racial climate of today is like what it was in the 1950s, then you done lost yo mind. Blacks enjoy countless freedoms and opportunities that no minority group would be able to enjoy in the vast majority of non-white nations. There's no way Paul Mooney could have publicly insulted whites while making great money in the 1950s.
Are there racial disparities? Sure. Does anti-black racism still exist? Sure. Do we live in a "colorblind" society? Of course not. However, the fact of the matter remains that no other nation on the face of the earth has made the same progress on healing racial/ethnic divides as we have. Believe me, it could be a lot worse for negroes like you.

More power to you then! It seems as if both of us endorse racial separation. Maybe blacks like you and whites like me can make 1950s type separation (note: different from segregation) a reality.
Lucinda,
You must not be the brightest bulb in the pack. You do know that you can click on the ad and silence it, don't you? Are you black, blonde or polish, by any chance?
Critical Thinker,
"If only that were true! Last time I checked, we had a black president, attorney general, popular celebrities, prominent college professors, and various black pundits who make good money disparaging whites."
Growing up in Hawaii and Singapore. Having a white mom your pal Barry the half breed is like no black person I know. The only reason he got in was because he was a Democrat and the Republican party screwed up so bad. All that being said I guess I'll give you that one.
Since February is so far away let me give you a little history lesson now. All of the folks you mentioned existed in the 1950's. President Barry being the only exception.
Blacks and whites have been "disparaging" each other publicly for more than one hundred years. Mostly amongst our own "kind" but publicly none the less.
As far as these pundits go. I hope you realize that these are paid talking heads. People like Ann Coulter, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc..do their nonsense to sell books, TV shows, and speaking engagements. They are laughing all the way to the bank and morons are falling for it.
If you ever been to a comedy club you would know that comedians tell jokes that disparage others. So I guess you also have a problem with Sarah Silverman, Lisa Lampeneli , Richard Pryor, Dave Chapelle,etc.. I thinkl I can guess why you might have a problem with Sarah Silverman.

That's not necessarily true. I've read "Black Boy" and the "Autobiography of Malcolm X," and many blacks would often conceal their true thoughts when in the presence of whites. When they did insult whites, they often did so within their own private cliques, just outside of the white man's ear. Sure, you had some people like Marcus Garvey who insulted whites publicly, but they were exceptions.
Besides, unlike today, whites didn't have to worry about hate crimes and hate speech laws. They didn't have to put up with "whiteness studies" on college campuses, diversity training, or other practices designed to suppress white pride. Sure, you could insult us, but we had free license to insult you.
Now, that's no longer the case.
As far as these pundits go. I hope you realize that these are paid talking heads.
In many cases, they are. However, at the same time, many people are morons, and they are falling for it. Whether it's whites buying Glenn Beck's crap or various black professors honoring Jesse Jackson, such figures do have influence.
Since February is so far away let me give you a little history lesson now. All of the folks you mentioned existed in the 1950's. President Barry being the only exception.
Don't forget Eric Holder. Besides, back then, whites were proud and not worried about saying offensive and racist things. Whites had a strong sense of racial consciousness and didn't put up with black crap. Today, white are in a state of weakness, but hopefully that will change. When it does, perhaps Paul Mooney will think twice about insulting whites.
By the way, "Barry the Half Breed" (Yeah, as if he's the only mulatto out there. Ever take a look at Jeremiah Wright?) grew up in Indonesia, not Singapore.
If you ever been to a comedy club you would know that comedians tell jokes that disparage others. So I guess you also have a problem with Sarah Silverman, Lisa Lampeneli , Richard Pryor, Dave Chapelle,etc.. I thinkl I can guess why you might have a problem with Sarah Silverman.
I don't have a problem with most controversial comedians (Paul Mooney being the exception). I just wished that mainstream white comedians could make fun of any group they wanted to. I just wish they would man up.
Anyway, the point I was trying to make was that you have far more rights and opportunities than any minority in non-white nations. Trust me, it could be a lot worse.
Critical Thinker,
I suggest you pay more attention to the things a politician does than the amount of melanin in his skin. I'm one of the few blacks that realize that Barry the half breed is a fraud. Are you part of the white majority that believed G.W. Bush was some kind of conservative hero? I really hope not.
My only problem with Paul Mooney is that he's generally not all that funny. That's the difference between someone who actually has a sense of humor and someone with a stick jammed up their rectum. I guess I'm just not as PC as you are. I even find this site extremely funny.
By the way mulattoes are extremely rare today. They were more common during slavery,because whites and blacks had more contact with one another. It was an economic necessity made more dire once a ban on the importation of slaves was imposed. Those were the days.
Today only 1% of individuals that would be considered black has a white parent. It's a fact, look it up.
"Anyway, the point I was trying to make was that you have far more rights and opportunities than any minority in non-white nations. Trust me, it could be a lot worse."
I'm quite aware of the fact that things can be a lot worse, but like I stated many times before. I'm not your typical negro. I'm not some "Can we all just get along" liberal. No one in my family is.
The only law that matters to me is the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. I'm sure that is something we can come together on.

"We are more segregated today than the 1950's."
Not in schools. Not in the workplace. Not in the movies. Not in professional or college sports. Not in much of anything...

If you look at the grades K-12 we are more segregated today than in the 1950's. It a fact that I thought at least you guys would celebrate.The rest are only a case of economic necessity. I'm not complaining, only stating a reality.
Yes, truth does hurt.
-Black guy
Black Guy,
I'm certainly not PC, and enjoy most offensive humor. I am also not a "conservative," and regard Dubya with nothing but contempt. I despise most white conservative politicians, pundits (like Limbaugh and Beck) and particularly neocons. My exact political views are very complex, and one cannot easily bind me to one convenient ideological category.
By the way mulattoes are extremely rare today. They were more common during slavery,because whites and blacks had more contact with one another. It was an economic necessity made more dire once a ban on the importation of slaves was imposed. Those were the days.
Today only 1% of individuals that would be considered black has a white parent. It's a fact, look it up.
Of course I know that most blacks don't have one black parent and one white parent.
However, take a look at Tayshaun Prince, Brandon Roy, Harold Ford, Jeremiah Wright, Henry Louis Gates, and other blacks. They may not have white parents, but they probably have more white blood than Barack Obama.
I am aware the Obama wasn't exactly raised black and basically had Jeremiah Wright teach him how to be a true black man. I know that those quasi-mulattoes were raised by two "black" parents. I know that Obama isn't your typical black person in terms of heritage and experience.
However, there are many blacks who are more like "half breeds" in both blood and appearance than Barack Obama.
I'm not your typical negro. I'm not some "Can we all just get along" liberal. No one in my family is.
I have no problem with that! I'm certainly not one of those "peace and love" types. I admire black nationalists/advocates (and you seem to have black nationalist leanings), and others who care about their people. As a white advocate, I can agree with you on many things.
By the way, I have no problem with the 2nd Amendment. I just think too many idiots are going around carrying guns. Is it any wonder we're the most violent industrialized nation. I believe in the right to bear arms, but we need stricter registration of guns and regulation of firearms.
But the 2nd Amendment is another debate for another time.
Critical thinker,
Yes, you views are very complex and I often enjoy your posts. That being said I have to take issue with a few points.
"However, take a look at Tayshaun Prince, Brandon Roy, Harold Ford, Jeremiah Wright, Henry Louis Gates, and other blacks. They may not have white parents, but they probably have more white blood than Barack Obama."
Skin color and hair has everything to do with genetics and little if anything to do with race. According to anthropologists racial groups are determined by facial features. It explains why there are Asians five shades darker than many blacks.
"By the way, I have no problem with the 2nd Amendment. I just think too many idiots are going around carrying guns. Is it any wonder we're the most violent industrialized nation. I believe in the right to bear arms, but we need stricter registration of guns and regulation of firearms."
You're right,there are a lot of idiots running around with guns, but that is in my opinion the primary reason to arm yourself and your family.
-Black guy
Critical thinker,
"I'm certainly not PC, and enjoy most offensive humor. I am also not a "conservative," and regard Dubya with nothing but contempt."
The problem is, that Dubya was not a conservative, he was a neo-con. And Glen beck calls himself a libertarian, but more likely a con man. Perhaps you should spend some time looking these terms up, and educating yourself on what the meanings of these words are.
"By the way, I have no problem with the 2nd Amendment. I just think too many idiots are going around carrying guns. Is it any wonder we're the most violent industrialized nation. I believe in the right to bear arms, but we need stricter registration of guns and regulation of firearms."
We are not violent because of guns. We are violent because of lack of morality. Guns have always been in this country and crime was not a major issue.
Hitler liked registration of guns also. Easier for the nazi government to take from the people.
Regulations do nothing but aid criminals, and handicap the law abiding citizen. Criminals do not follow gun laws, at all. The second amendment is the second amendment, there is no second guessing it. It is a right. All law abiding citizens should be able to own guns, and carry them without permits. Period.
@ Black Guy
The point I was trying to make is that many blacks have as much, if not more white ancestry than Barack Obama and look whiter than him. I don't want to rub salt in old wounds, but the legacy of slavery did result in the mongrelization of blacks in the United States. Therefore, you do have blacks who are raised by two black parents, yet have a substantial portion of white ancestry. That's all I was trying to say.
@ CWN
I do recall pointing out that I have great contempt for neo-cons. I agree with conservatives (mainly paleoconservatives) on certain important issues. I just get frustrated when foolish white masses buy the BS of Glenn Beck and Anne Coulter. Rather than getting their news from these buffoonish polemicists, they should read the writings of Paul Craig Roberts and the late Samuel Francis. Rather than listen to self-promoting hustlers like Rush Limbaugh, they would be better served listening to the Political Cesspool (though I don't agree with everything they say).
On guns, I never recall saying that we need to ban the 2nd Amendment. As I continue to watch the government encroach on individuals and let this nation go down the tubes through either foolish action or inaction, I'll take comfort in the fact that the masses will at least be armed and able to defend themselves.
All I think is that gun registration and regulation should more responsible and ensure greater gun competency and safety. We're the only industrialized nation with a ridiculously high violent crime rate. While "guns don't kill people, but people kill people," those people doing the killing often use guns.
Of course, I'm aware that criminals will always get their hands on guns. Again, I don't believe in abolishing the 2nd Amendment, I just think there needs to be greater responsibility.
Just my two cents.
I have to wonder about the educational level of some of the people on the site and also their integrity and intelligence. I have seen people claim they are "critical thinkers" on here who then advocate what they call "racial separation, 50s style." First of all, the clocks have never been turned back in history in any society around the world, and America, it being a superpower and all, would be idiotic to attempt to change the ways and patterns in which people have been relating to each other within society for many years. In fact, the modernization of culture and of technology coincided with the progress, so, in order to turn back the clock to the 1950s or before, you'd have to change the ways in which all people live, which is next to impossible. That said, the reason to "turn back the clock" is not much of one, because you can simply self-segregate, knowing that no one really cares about another's opinion when confronted with it-especially if the people are strangers who are trading opinions or space. It seems that many white Americans in general cannot fathom some sort of feeling of "losing out" to other ethnicities or cultures around the country when, in reality, they are not "losing out" on anything due to the fact that their lives are controlled by themselves, not by governments or other people. Really, I've never understood the condemnation by whites of other groups; I can understand how they may be "proud" to be of a certain ancestry, but the term "white" takes on so many different forms, meanings, and connotations that it's tough in 2010 (in my opinion) to take debates about racial separation and/or segregation and any sort of perceived "necessities" seriously. Especially in the face of modernized media, which certainly will not support such a cause due to the simple fact of the trend of modernization. As societies and cultures progress, they change, but it's this concept of change that most people reject because they feel "forced" to live in a different manner when in actuality nothing ever changed. For example, I am sure that most people on here know white racists (and racists of other ilks as well), but is everyone on here willing to say that these same people's racism has changed in some form beyond where it was in 1860? If you claim it has, I'd then ask you how is that possible, when the words, symbols, actions, and emotions are the exact same as they were at that time (with the exception of those federally outlawed, such as lynchings)? As long as free speech continues to flourish in the country, all of the aspects of American colonial racism and colorization will remain; it would take a solid effort by the government to rid the nation of hate speech, which would face many challenges for generations to come.
