NEWS ALERT: There will be a Press Conference held at Allen Temple church in Jordon's Crossing on Reading Rd. on Monday May 22, 2006. at 6 pm.
This Press Conference is held in regard to what the City of Cincinnati and the County of Hamilton call "The Banks Working Group."
The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), The Baptist Ministers Conference, The AMOS Project and others will be expressing their "disappointment" over the selection of Tim Riordan, a white man appointed by the black Mayor of Cincinnati, Mark L. Mallory.
Tim Riordan was the final selection to this panel to oversee "The Banks Project," a $700 million dollar economic development deal that will go up on the banks of the Ohio river right here in Cincinnati. 4 big white men have already been selected to this big money making panel -- Riordan made the 5th.
***$700 MILLION DOLLARS***
***WITH NO NEGROES INVOLVED!***
It will be very interesting to see how this whole press conference will go down. It was reported in the local newspaper that the President of the NAACP, Edith Thrower was "disappointed" in the mayor's selection and had been lobbying to add a black person to this board.
That's strange because the black community at large never knew Ms. Thrower was "lobbying" for anything, seeing as though she nor the NAACP brought their intentions to the black community. Had we'd known maybe just maybe we, as a community could've supported the NAACP's actions on the front end and added a little FIRE to the heat on the back end. But as usual in this city, there are only a "certain type of negro" those negroes [NAACP] want to "assist" them in there actions...even when they [NAACP] call themselves representing us [black folk] and raise big money in the name of doing such.
Nevertheless, our dear beloved brother, Bro. X, who by the way has been sounding off on this issue waaaay before the NAACP, The Baptist Ministers Conference or Edith Thrower's newspaper quotes of supposed "outrage" and a few elite community negroes who are PAID to look out for our best interest, requested I post the time & place on this blog "The Black Fist Blog" of this press conference for all of our readers to view in advance and be informed in the event that you, our faithful readers may want to attend and see for yourselves first hand just what the hell is going down when it comes to the exclusion of the negro & $700 mill on the table.
Bro. Endure X & General Nikki X have done their best to keep the blacks in this community informed and educated on the shananigans, bamboozlement and flat-out racism being perpetrated at 801 Plum St. -via- Cincinnati City Council, the Mayor of this City, Mark Mallory and at The Board of The Hamilton County Commissioners.
It's a sad state of affairs when you have a black man such as Mayor Mark Mallory, who has clearly forgotten his black base supporters (or are we?) and chose to not even consider a 'BLACK' person not "MINORITY" to this so-called "Banks Working Group." It's disgraceful, it's totally unacceptable and it's downright shameful!
The Local Chapter of The New Black Panther Nation & The Black Fist Organization are very outraged at this decision by Mayor Mark Mallory and it is publicly noted.
We are collectively outraged but make no mistake about it, NOT SURPRISED in the least bit, not even in 2006 Cincinnati, Ohio!
Once again, NAACP Press Conference, Monday 6 pm May 22nd at Allen Temple in Jordon's Crossing on Reading Rd. directly across from Woodward High School in Bond Hill.
THIS WAS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE BLACK FIST ORGANIZATION & THE LOCAL CHAPTER OF THE NEW BLACK PANTHER NATION
BLACK POWER, EVERY HOUR!!!
Okay, hit me here where I live. Is this not the same Edith Thrower who used to work for Steve Chabot and so lavished praise on him and his supporters several months ago when he was at the Urban League Headquarters in his white minstral show. The same Edith who named so many local black supporters of Chabot the Republican and it seemed the people she was touting as African Americans were Republicans cloaked as Democrats? Or they are just Democrats when the green is thrown their way by homeboy Burke. The state has some bills coming out to support minority businesses and construction orientations and where was Edith on this? She gonna game onto the coattails of everyone for her free ride back to working for Chabot?
ReplyDeletethese sellouts ain't gonna do nothing except make it look like they have the best interest of black people at heart but in the end sell us straight out when offered a check from whitey! keep up the good work you do general nikki x! this blog is the truth!
ReplyDeleteEven though I kinda feel you all on this situation, I must say that this blog is definitely NOT the truth. This blog epitomizes the phrase "jumpin' on the band wagon." Last year, Mallory was touted by this blog and organization as the man that will bring about real, positive change in Cincinnati. Doesn't sound like that's the case now, does it? You were SO sure about Mallory then. You even acknowledge that everything that's being done is not a surprise, so why did you help him get elected? Just to ridicule him when he doesn't do what you think needs to be done? You guys BLAST holes in your credibility on the daily!
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous #3: "Credibility?" Sign your real name then we can have an intelligent conversation about the issues.
ReplyDeleteMark Mallory didn't get in office on just the vote of The Black Fist!
Remember that.
I have some advice and I know what I'm talking about. Small contractors this one's for you. When an RFP or an RFQ or an invitation to bid is published, don't show up with your information handwritten on a crumpled piece of paper. You're going to be knocked out of the running. Small businesses can't pour their money into a marketing department or devote money to a position to write the appropriate responses. But here's what you can do. Invest a couple of hundred bucks in another small business--a wordprocessing or secretarial service agency to work up some good looking marketing pieces to say clearly WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AND WHAT YOU CAN DO. Develop a one page overview of your firm, with pictures. If you're minority owned, introduce that in the first paragraph. Note your name, address, phone, and types of similar projects completed. List references. Add pictures of projects that are similar in size and scope to the job you want to qualify for. READ THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (rfp) and address everything they ask for in the order requested. Use appropriate language, avoid misspellings and make it look good. The company overview is a good investment and can be used continuously. Make sure you have a business card. This is a good and necessary investment if you want to compete. If you can't state your qualifications in a clear, concise and attractive marketing piece, then you may give the impression that you're not organized enough to handle the job. If putting together words isn't your thing, look at websites of businesses similar to yours and steal their verbiage! Believe me I know what I'm talking about. A word to the wise. Present your qualifications and experience in the best light if you want to get a foot in the door. You can be the best damned electrical contractor this side of the Mississippi but if all you have to prove that is your word, expect to be passed over.
