Last week ACORN was exposed for illegal practices brought to light by an undercover video of a prostitute looking for tax money to open an underage brothel. Deep huh? Even sounds like a setup doesn't it? Well I'll let the video speak for itself. But before we smash em, let's learn about em!
Here's a lil background on ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Established in 1970, ACORN's goal is to fight against the oppression and injustice of many low and middle income communities in over 40 states, mostly including minorities and immigrant citizens. Some of its biggest achievements include aid and exposure of rights for Hurricane Katrina victims, voter registration (approx 1.7 million registered since 2004), fighting to raise the minimum wage, and fundraising for public schools.

Historically, ACORN has helped communities conquer unbelievable feats, however, through my research have found many of those victories may have been in vain of their desired political gain. I felt it was also important to note ACORN's website endnote: ACORN is a non-profit, non-partisan social justice organization with national headquarters in New York, New Orleans and Washington, D.C.
SO I WAS REAL FUCKING PISSED TO SEE THIS SHIT HERE...
Please watch the whole video; it's long but you will be floored, trust me.
SO if this is a non profit ORGANIZATION, not political party OR corporation, why is it the ONLY recorded community organization that receives FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS? Approx. $53 billion since 1994 according to www.features.csmonitor.com/politics. Usually, in non profit organizations donors are allowed to write off their donations on their taxes, but wouldn't that count any FEDERAL involvement? And if it's not for profit, I repeat, who receives tax dollars IN RETURN, WHERE THE HELL DO THEY GET THE MONEY TO PAY THEIR TAXES TO GET SUCH HUGE RETURNS IN THE 1ST PLACE?
Yea it seems these nuts need crackin. I really didn't know shit about ACORN until Senator McCain kept throwing the name around for Obama's involvement during his political campaign. And I still had to dig deep for more info on ACORN's recent scandals.
I was lucky to catch this interview on Fox News Sunday, with Bertha Lewis, CEO of ACORN. Her avoidance of questions make you really lose faith in ACORN's true intentions.
That's right I gotta give it up to Fox News for finally shining their spiteful light on the the right black people at the right time. I said it! Watch the video! These niggas showing prostitutes how to get tax write offs! I got a real job and can't get a damn EXTRA tax write off! WTF!
This video is not evidence of the stereotype that Black ppl are ignant, but it helps. ALOT. And for some reason it took awhile for the media to take heed and jump down ACORN's throats. WHY? Why can they interview Michael Jackson's florist and make a 2 day report on what was in Chris Kelly's car before his suicide before making a big deal out of where billions of tax dollars are really going? You know why?
Cuz if the video wasn't leaked, you wouldn't know. And that's what's SUPPOSED to happen. This is something that affects ALL of us, not the last celebrity breakup or what city Oprah decided to shut down this week (no offense, just saying. I love Oprah), but real shit. Think about it:
1.Minority established, Black ran and chaired
2.Politically endorsed non-profit organization
3.Funded by federal tax dollars and major corporation donations
Seems like the perfect recipe for an organization with a success rate for helping inner city youths, young single mothers, ex-offenders, illiterate citizens...also seems like the first story smoking the minute an employee slips...not a flippin prostitute whose earnings will fund a political campaign...
...whose earnings would fund a political campaign? Wonder who else has benefited from ACORN? And you can point the finger at just Obama if you want, but remember, this organization is over 35 years old. I'm sure even if Obama DID have illegal involvement, he wasn't the only one.
