AudioBuzz: Tavis Smiley Al Sharpton 2010: The Real State of Black Unity – What’s Up with that Brother Buzz | Watch Radio
February 24, 2010
Monday morning Tavis Smiley appeared on the Tom Joyner morning to announce an upcoming symposium to include Black leaders. For the past ten years during Black History month, Smiley would convene Black leaders in a forum called State of the Black Union (SOBU). He canceled that event for 2010. This new event, as you can tell will now convene on the hills of much controversy over comments made about “Black leaders” during the announcement.

Political Moment: Republicans are fighting republicans, democrats are fighting democrats, and black agenda is perturbed with black agenda. Perhaps now, the people can get something done.
Twitter Me This? Progress On Pause: Who Leads Directs or Convenes the Black Agenda? | Tavis Smiley vs Al Sharpton | Scholars vs Activists
February 23, 2010
In his persistent effort to keep the Obama administration “accountable,” Tavis Smiley announced this morning that he would convene a panel of black leaders to take on the question: Is there a need for a Black Agenda? Calling this symposium, “We Count! The Black Agenda is America’s Agenda,” Smiley is determined to push back on those black leaders, like Al Sharpton, who emerged from a recent meeting with the president declaring that the president did not need a special “black agenda” and expects them to explain exactly what they mean. The event, scheduled to be broadcast nationally, will take place in Chicago on Saturday, March 20th.
This turn of events begs the questions?
- Who directs the black agenda?
- Who sponsors the black agenda?
- Did the black agenda include a black president?
- Do leaders of the black agenda agree on the agenda?
- Why are leaders so often meeting on the black agenda?
- Is there an economic movement to come from the agenda?
- Why cancel SOBU if only to recovene another symposium of black leaders?
A leader is someone you chose to follow.

Twitter Me This: “It is not the job of a detergent company to raise black America’s self-esteem. ” Much a do about a cleaner?
January 25, 2010
Agree or disagree…
industry.bnet.com — according to Pepper Miller of the Hunter-Miller Group, an African American market research consultancy. Miller believes the spot (video below), which shows Pine Sol Lady Diane Amos driving to her fantastically extravagant mansion in a vintage Mercedes to find — lucky her! — a shirtless dude mopping her floor and showing off his abs, swaps one stereotype for another…
This is Miller’s mistake. It is not the job of a detergent company to raise black America’s self-esteem. It is simply to sell products that leave clean floors smelling like a Norwegian forest. Clorox uses black people in its Pine Sol ads because a lot of black people buy Pine Sol, and Clorox wants its ads to look like its customers.
