Politics: Does Race Matter in Politics? ; BET Will Hold On-Air Voter Registration Day

September 24th, 2008

Does race matter in politics? Today, Black lawmakers will gather for their annual legislative weekend and face some of the gravest situations the body has experienced since forming in 1976.  The 42 members who represent more than 40 percent of the African Americans in the United States will use this week to examine the impact the slowed economy, home foreclosures and job loss have on the communities they represent.

BET will hold on-air voter registration day. As the deadlines for voter registration in each state draw near, BET Networks is making an unprecedented, nationwide effort to encourage its audience to “STAND UP, SIGN UP, BE HEARD.” On Saturday, Sept. 27, BET Networks will host an on-air voter registration day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (ET/PT) aimed at getting people registered to vote. The special will re-air from 5-8 p.m. (ET/PT) Saturday. During this historic, three-hour “Stand Up, Sigh Up, Be Heard: The BET Voter Registration Day” special, the BET studio in New York City will serve as the headquarters for the event, featuring host Queen Latifah (The Secret Life of Bees), appearances by Jim Jones and Mary Mary, and an in-studio audience of 100 unregistered voters. In addition, BET will present live remote coverage from voter registration rallies taking place in cities in four key battleground states: Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit; Norfolk, Va.; and Philadelphia.

As long as we only have two political parties they will continue to hold this country hostage under it’s monopoly. We don’t even have a labor party here. The shredding of the US Constitution and Habeus Corpus under Bush puts us all at risk!!

Don’t expect Obama to make the changes that are necessary in this country. He is also a part of “the machine”.

Check out the documentary, “Washington, You’re Fired ” if you can.

To the commentors above me { HI HATERS! }

Here in America, when black were allowed to enter sports – Those sport got better. When blacks enter Medicine – Medicine advanced. When Blacks enter marketing and business – new standards were set.
WHEN THAT BLACK MEN ENTERS THE WHITE HOUSE AS COMMANDER N CHIEF. AMERICA WILL EVENTAULLY BECOME EVEN GREATER.

BIG UPS TO B.E.T. FOR YOUR EFFORTS!!!! I love it!

And @ the haters, you’ll notice that they never specified who these newly registered voters should side with. The point is for people to take advantage of their rights and VOTE. If you feel sore about Obama being in the white house, that’s your opinion along with anyone else who votes for mccain. Use your rights and vote for him, but don’t get all up tight when all BET is trying to do is get people involved.
