Hello, everyone — President Obama was just two years old when Dr. King, along with hundreds of thousands of ordinary folks, inspired the country at the March on Washington. The President is a full generation removed from the heroes who marched across the bridge in Selma, who boycotted the buses in Montgomery, who integrated the lunch counters in Greensboro, but they inspired his commitment to public service. And if his presidency is a symbol of the progress we’ve made as a nation, his speech yesterday — a full half century after the March on Washington — was an impassioned call to continue building on the work of the civil rights movement. It was quite a moment. Take a minute to watch the video, then share it with your friends. We too often forget that when the crowds converged on the National Mall 50 years ago, they were marching for jobs and freedom. The speakers talked about rolling back oppression, but they also demanded equal access to opportunity and a fair shot at economic success. We have made great progress, but these goals remain just as relevant today as they were in 1963. Every American deserves to feel the pride of a hard-earned paycheck and the opportunity to achieve their dreams, regardless of who they are or where they are born. As President Obama said, “The arc of the moral universe may bend toward justice, but it doesn’t bend on its own. To secure the gains this country has made requires constant vigilance, not complacency.” Watch now: http://www.whitehouse.gov/share/heres-what-president-obama-said-50th-anniversary-march-washington Thank you — and here’s to our continued progress over the next 50 years. Valerie Valerie Jarrett Senior Advisor The White House @VJ44 Please do not reply to this email. Contact the White House The White House • 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW • Washington, DC 20500 • 202-456-1111

When viewing the movie; be aware some of the events and characters were changed in order to protect people or make an emotional impact lesser or greater so that the viewer captures the vision and feelings conveyed during the various time periods under eight presidents,

 –

It amazing that this whole story came about thur  Wil Haygood, a reporter for The Washington Post who wanted to find an African American who had witnessed at the White House what the impending election ofSenator Barack Obama becoming America’s first African American president.

‘The Butler’ made Barbara Bush cry

Bonjour!

–

–

The Butler by director Lee Daniels opens today, Friday, August 16th.  The movie is inspired by the true story of Eugene Allen; portrayed in the movie by actor Forest Whitaker as Cecil Gaines the movie’s main character.

–

I understand from the article that follows; to bring a box of tissues with you

–

–

–
–
The following article written by Talia Buford an energy reporter for POLITICO Pro.
–

Lee Daniels hasn’t screened “The Butler” for the current occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., but he did get to share a tub of popcorn with the Bushes when he showed them the movie a few months ago.

“Barbara Bush loved [my movie] ‘Precious,’ shockingly, and I couldn’t believe it,” Daniels said during a roundtable discussion at the National Association of Black Journalists’ annual convention. “I thought it was a setup or something. She sent me this lovely, really powerful email … and she said please come up and show the Butler to us in Maine.”

The movie, which opens in theaters Aug. 16, tells the story of Cecil Gaines, who served eight presidents as a White House butler from 1952 to 1986, and how he saw the civil rights movement from inside the walls at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

In an audience of about 600 people, Daniels said he sat next to Barbara Bush and former President George Bush as they saw the movie — and fielded some questions from them during the screening.

“And Barbara, she was crying,” Daniels said. “And George would say ‘Is that Oprah? Honey, is that Oprah?’ and Mrs. Bush would say, ‘Is that Oprah?’ Yes, Mrs. Bush, it’s Oprah. ‘It’s Oprah, honey. It’s Oprah.”

Oprah Winfrey plays Gloria Gaines, Eugene’s wife, in the movie.  The film, set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement, includes some scenes of lynched men hanging in the streets of North Carolina, and detailed re-creations of sit-ins at lunch counters and freedom rides, complete with burning crosses, Ku Klux Klan hoods and Molotov cocktails.  The scenes had an impact on the Bushes, Daniels said.

“It was so powerful because they hung their heads — both of them hung their heads, he said. “And that was a gift for me knowing that they felt it. That they felt that they knew…that was a gift for me.”

It was divine order, Daniels said, that let the film, which features President Lyndon B. Johnson’s announcement of the Voting Rights Act, to be released just weeks after the Supreme Court weakened some of the protections provided by the landmark law.

“We had a great time shooting the scene with Lyndon Johnson,” Daniels said in an interview with POLITICO.  “He did something incredible for the African-American — for us — with the Voting Rights bill. And then they took it away. My grandmother, if she wants to go in and she ain’t got her ID… she’s not going to vote. That’s just where it is right now.”

The film also allowed Daniels to delve into the complicated language of racism during the civil rights era. In the film, Johnson, played by Liev Schreiber,  uses a racial slur a number of times — something that Daniels said was done on purpose. Johnson biographers have noted that the former President used the term to describe blacks.

“For me, it was very strategic,” Daniels told a group of reporters at NABJ. “When we did use it, it was used later on by Cuba [Gooding Jr., as the head butler] making fun of someone that did use it, Lyndon Johnson. It was sort of the joke that this guy uses it. So when he says it and talks about, it opens up —  like Paula Deen — the concept of white people loving us and really loving us and feeling that it’s fine to use the word nigga. That’s how Johnson felt. He did something that was incredible for us. That’s trying to be taken away from us right now. And yet, he used that word just like ‘pass the grits.’ Racism is a very hard thing to explain, especially in the South.”

We’re celebrating Joan Elizabeth Higginbotham’s “48th” Birthday today

Celebrating Joan Elizabeth Higginbotham’s Birthday!!

August 3, 1964 Joan Elizabeth Higginbotham, the third African American woman to go into space, was born in Chicago, Illinois. Higginbotham earned her Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from Southern Illinois University in 1987 and her Masters of Management Science and Masters in Space Systems from the Florida Institute of Technology in 1992 and 1996, respectively. 

 

She began her career at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1987 as a payload electrical engineer. Within six months, she became the lead for the orbiter experiments on the Space Shuttle Columbia. Two years later, she was promoted to lead orbiter project engineer. Higginbotham was selected as an astronaut candidate in 1996 and from December 9 to December 22, 2006 logged 308 hours in space aboard STS-116. 

 

She retired from NASA in 2007, having actively participated in 53 space shuttle launches. Higginbotham now serves as coordinating manager for the corporate social responsibility organization at Marathon Oil Company. She also serves on the board of Afterschool Alliance, a national organization working to ensure that all children have access to affordable, quality afterschool programs. In 2007, Higginbotham received the Adler Planetarium Women in Space Science Award.

Why is Paula Deen “Off” the Air and Rush Limbaugh STILL “On” the Air?

Hello Everyone:

–

–

I had never heard of Paula Deen until last month.  At first I thought “Oh, my God another celebrity goes down for uttering racial slurs on their show”. 

Paula Deen’s Bio

–

Every news report stated the reason given for cancellation of Ms. Deen’s cooking show, advertisers, sponsorship endorsements and even her latest cookbook which was scheduled for release Fall of 2013 was being cancelled because of a recent court deposition admission that she “of course” has used racial epithets. Every company that cancelled always states Ms. Deen’s admission in a court deposition that she has used racial epithets in conversation.

–

While we all know Ms. Deen has used racial epithet prior to the 1980’s and after–she was not cited for using them on her cooking show or where there is verifiable proof in public,

–

Ms. Deen’s current legal problems are tied to her brother’s behavior while working in her restaurant and from longtime employees viewpoints as to how unfair Ms. Deen has been over the past years–citing insensitive employer requests and/or being passed over when it came to fair monetary compensation.

 –

The fact remains that not one company or sponsor has stated her current problems as the reason to cancel; but instead always use her admission in the recent court disposition which references the a mid-1980s date and incident.

 –

Is Paula Deen a racist or insensitive?

It should be noted that Ms. Deen had a gun held to her head in the 80’s by an a black man during a bank robbery.(incident referenced in her Bio above)

–

I challenge anyone to admit they have never used a racial slur or demeaning curse word during times of stress when they felt “slighted, marginalized, discriminated against and/or were verbally or physically assaulted” by a member of another race, ethnic or religious group or by a person of a different gender other than their self.

–

–

Paula Deen

– 

–

========================================

–

I have agreed and still do agree with some of Rush Limbaugh’s political views; however, Mr. Limbaugh’s modus operandi is more than distasteful.  Mr Limbaugh’s radio show is filled with rants full of hatred.  His racial bigotry and misogynous behavior towards women are extreme and fanatical during the course of his radio show which airs 15 hours every week for more than 20 years.  Rush Limbaugh’s Bio

–

Is Rush Limbaugh a racist or an entertainer?

Some say Mr. Limbaugh’s delivery is one of an entertainer.  I might have agreed with that statement 20+ years ago; however, for years now Mr. Limbaugh has known that his loyal fans are fanatical. Rush’s rants feeds his audience’s own insecurities and fears with his daily messages filled with racial and sexist slurs.

–

Mr. Limbaugh knows his advertisers and sponsors gorges off of the money Rush’s show generates.  Rush has chosen to let his true self come out of the closet over the years by dominating and polluting the air waves.  All this is verifiable as taped on his radio shows.

–

Mr. Limbaugh has bullied and verbally abused innocent citizens like Mike J. Fox and Sandra Fluke but also scores of public and political figures to demonstrate and demand that his personal and political views are the Bible according to Rush. 

–

It is no secret that Rush has succeeded in controlling through intimidation and fear a majority of the Republican party.

 –

When a slew of advertisers cancelled their ads after his Sandra Fluke triad; many advertisers came back after a few weeks and to this date Rush is still on the air some 16 months after his abusive verbal assault on Ms. Fluke’s character.

–

–

Rush Limbaugh

–

–

The consequences of Paula Deen’s and Rush Limbaugh’s language, viewpoints and behavior regarding race is not only sorely unjust but displays our worse hypocritical nature when it comes to fairly resolving racially charged issues.

 –

You may respond to this e-mail with your point of view yo; however, please address the main question directly in the e-mail’s subject line and stated directly below.

 

Why is Paula Deen “Off” the Air and Rush Limbaugh STILL “On” the Air?

What is the rationale of Deen vs. Limbaugh of why one is off and the other is on the air?
