Hilary clinton concession speech June 8, 2008
Posted by wannamakemoney in : Uncategorized , trackbackBill Perkins versus Yvette Clarke: there go them Harlem boys again.
Yvette Clarke represents the 11th congressional district in Brooklyn. Her mother (Una Clarke) is the former city council woman from Brooklyn’s 40th councilmanic district. When Una was term-limited in 2001, her daughter Yvette succeeded her in the council seat. Una was born on the island of Jamaica and loves to highlight her roots as a maroon. Yvette was born in Brooklyn, and loves her Caribbean-American heritage and culture as much as she loves her African-American birthright. Maroons are militant people: they don’t take too much shit. Bill Perkins was lucky that Una wasn’t at City Hall yesterday.
Look, I have had a few issues with Una along the by and by, but I have always admired her spunk; as tiny as she is she just might have decked Perkins yesterday, for the way he handled Yvette. While we know exactly who Una is most of the time, Yvette has always been “Una-lite”; sometimes it is better that way: yesterday might have been one of those times.
Just so that you know: if there is ever a “throw-down” between the uptown boys and the Brooklyn crew, I am fighting with Brooklyn. Roughing up the Brooklyn electeds is my job; and Perkins needs to stay out of my terrain/lol.
Bill Perkins is the state senator from Harlem -where he was born and raised I am told. At one point between 2001 and 2005 he was a member of the city council; so too was Yvette Clarke. I am assuming they both got along all right; especially since I have never picked up anything adverse through the grapevines. That’s why yesterday’s ungentlemanly behavior by Bill “Perks” Perkins leaves an opening for much speculation. I was surprised by Bill’s mannerisms, demeanor and tone of voice. He was angry like hell; obviously, there were many things on his mind.
Okay, let’s go to the video tape as supplied by “You-Tube”.
Yesterday a bunch of New York elected officials -on all three levels of government (federal, state and city/local) ? held what appeared to be a hurriedly-called press conference on the steps of City Hall. It seems to me that there were mainly black electeds in attendance. I observed Congress members Towns, Clarke and Meeks. I also observed council members James, Eugene and Liu. In the video, Letitia (Tish) James said that David Yassky was there; but I didn’t see him in the video. And of course there was Bill Perkins.
Ostensibly, the object of the press conference was to highlight the newly found courage of the overnight converts: the new Barack Obama endorsees -of which there are now many. Of course you and I know that most of these profilers in cowardice have now found a new solidarity with the Barack Obama campaign, not because of agreements with Obama’s core positions, but because the gravy-train is pulling out of the station; and as such, they hurriedly want to get on board, carrying their “after-the-fact-endorsements”. With the exceptions of Perkins and Tish James, near all of those assembled yesterday, had conveniently, enthusiastically, opportunistically and optimistically supported Hillary Clinton, from day one. Bill and Tish have supported Barack Obama from the git-go.
Sometimes I wonder if these buffoons ever step outside their thin skins, in order to and take a hard look at themselves and their antics. They should. Laughter is always good medicine for whatever ails you. Most of these jokers could never see “change” hurling down the streets toward them, even if it was coming at ten thousand miles an hour. Most of these jokers couldn’t recognize “Clinton-fatigue” even if it had pock-marks all over its body. Most of these jokers who stood up with Hillary Clinton and endorsed her -many times over- during the last year and a half or so (which was their prerogative), now brazenly expect us in the general public to respect this sudden switch. As if we don’t know that it is all about positioning for jobs in the new administration; jobs for their husbands, wives, sons, daughters, mistresses, lovers, relatives, friends, cronies, supporters and fundraisers, et al; most of whom have a track-record of ineptitude while pigily feeding at the public trough.
What is sad about all this though is that most of the time, “business as usual” (like cream) generally finds a way to the top. And jobs that should be filled by imaginative, educated, experienced, committed, talented, creative, concerned and dedicated individuals end up in the wrong hands; and hardly anything substantial gets done at all three levels of government- and in all three branches of government. And then every four years we hear all the promises during the presidential campaign debates. We hear some of the same ole same ole at the town hall meetings. We see issues unsolved and unresolved that were leftovers from presidential campaigns past. Well, Mr. Barack Obama needs to be told in no uncertain terms: not his time. No sir; no …
