Juneteenth 2019: Declare Your Political Independence!

June 19 is a great opportunity to acknowledge, educate and celebrate Juneteenth. It's also an opportunity for Black voters in the United States to declare their independence from the so called two party system. This is the time when we need to learn about electoral reform. We must teach why this is important for us to know by being informed voters and changing the political system to benefit everyone.

What issue around electoral reform will you focus on to teach in your community and work towards change?

Is It Time for Black Voters in the United States to Form Our Own Political Party...Again?

Black Americans have been slow or fearful about supporting a political party outside of the "majority two-party" system or registering as an independent.

In an interview in 2017, BET founder Robert Johnson mentioned that African Americans need to start an independent party. The interview is available to listen to at the link below.

It has been done in the past in the United States. However, are we as a people ready to move on from our votes being taken for granted and being the last...if at all...to see the results of support from the elected officials we put in office.

Please let us know your thoughts. Do Black people in America who can vote go towards forming their own party?

To the Black Voters in the United States: You and your vote are still being taking for granted.

The Founders of the Black Independent Voter Network are frustrated that African Americans continue to allow their votes to be taken for granted. Now, they are being pressured, bullied and using fear tactics by some of the leaders in the two major parties to vote for them. This is happening big time in interactions with people who are affiliated with the Democratic party.

We hope that you realized by now that when you vote for the "lesser of two evils," this is your result by that choice. It's time to move on and get off the "plantation" of these organizations.

Black People Are "Feeling the Bern"

We are dusting the spider webs off this blog. It's time for us to get out here and support independent minded candidates to run for public office.

We are amazed and glad to that Bernie Sanders, the Vermont Senator who is an Independent, is a candidate for president of the United States. We are glad to see that there are Black people that are supporting his campaign. They have become empowered and now letting the establishment know that they do not own our votes.

Black Independent Voters Facebook group

Black Independent Voters - and PROUD OF IT!!
There is a Black Independent Voters group on Facebook where you can express your views and connect with Independents. This blog does now own or manage the group, however, we encourage you to join it and tell others about it. Check it out at http://www.facebook.com/groups/254441151252494/.

We are not 'feeling' the current security procedures by TSA

We like how Ron Paul explains the TSA search problem:

This is humiliating and very tacky for cancer survivors to go through this type of search. We believe that it also violates a person's right to privacy due to their medical condition.

This blog story also notes the security procedures used by the Israeli airline El Al that could be effective here in at US airports.

It's our government wasting tax dollars again that will not be effective in the long run.

DC Councilmember Marion Barry discusses welfare reform

Marion Barry: White Advocates Want to Continue Enslavement of Blacks
From Washington City Paper

Ward 8 Councilmember Marion Barry went on the Fox Business Channel today to kick off his tour as the poster child for welfare reform. At about the four minute mark, Barry makes the claim that African Americans are supportive of his proposal to impose a five-year limit on welfare payments while the white advocates who testified Monday against his proposal are basically trying to keep poor people of color "powerless" and "enslaved," albeit "less so" than before.

Why do people keep voting for him? Slavery is a state of mind. It's time for him to retire.
