The Egg Doesn't Roll Far, From The Nest


I wasn't aware that these two guys were brothers until today. With a last name like Eggeletion. I should have figured as much.The Eggeletion brothers (Josephus) first Black mayor of Broward county, and (Andre) part time writer and radio host. Though I haven't met either one in person. I've talked to Andre on a few occasions. In my humble opinion he is a double-minded individual. He's plenty smart, just misdirected. They both seem to be what we call "problem profiteers". This guy inflames rebellious attitudes in Blacks. Yet he and those like him. Don't believe the hype themselves. If they do, you can't tell by their actions. They only talk a good game. They're riding around in Mercedes Benz and BMWs crying racism. While they fleece the flock. He has made a name for championing the causes of the poor. Along the way he has made several influential friends himself. Often in the form of developers and big business. And most notably waste management companies. I didn't expect to discover all this about him, but I'm not surprised. Look at the link below. If you are not familiar with Mayor Eggeletion. You might be surprised:

I assume Andre is the younger of the two. I'm judging that based on the hair and name. Josephus doesn't have any hair on top. Which leads me to think, it's probably a result of male pattern baldness. And not just a style. That still doesn't mean anything. Just consider the name itself. Being a Jr., is usually is a sign of being the first son. Whether he is or not is of little consequence. Andre hasn't reached the prominence of his brother, being the first Black mayor and all. Though he is somewhat accomplished in his own right. He has a nationally syndicated radio broadcast. Where he shares his views two hours a day five days a week. He has also written a couple of books. He is respected by some economist for his world banking views. I guess he would be considered somewhat of a Renaissance man. Well read and versed, in his area of specialty. Personally I think his area of specialty is spreading it on thick. Now I see where the arrogance comes from. He comes from a place where his hype is working. Obviously in Florida, where he's from. The majority think like him. His brother serves as somewhat proof. What's frightening about this whole thing. There are pockets of people with this mindset everywhere. Look at Liberty City, and it's homegrown terrorist. Since Andre seems to love talking about the White man. Wonder what he would say about this? Since the inception of slavery, there has always been Blacks like him and his brother. They were the ones who rounded up other Blacks, for the slavetraders. I would love to hear what people have to say about their father. Based on his two sons. It would be very interesting. The egg doesn't roll far, from the nest.

    Nobody is listening to that show. All of his callers are from Memphis anyway. The few that he has.

    I expected better of you common than to associate the actions of
    one brother,with the other.That is
    the same thing that the people of
    this state did to Harold Ford Jr.
    Our own Mayor,your King has faced
    the same kind of charges as Josephus.also,he has been investagated and they have not
    convicted him of anything.you do
    not agree with Andra's views so
    you try to connect him with his
    brother.That is a low blow.And for
    your correction the Mayor of Broward County is Oliver Parkewhich right now is under a
    recall.So,you were wrong to call
    Josephus Eggeletion,a mayor.As for
    Barry's statement Andra has a lot
    of listeners not only in Memphis
    but New York and California.Also
    I read in that article you wrote that Florida's Unlawful-Compensation Statue,which forbids politicans from profiting from
    their public positions is very
    broad and the right answer may be more problemtic than either Commissioner realizes.just like the
    Memphis City Charter,which was redone in the 60's and has been over looked and broken by the Mayor
    and council for years.So drop these
    relative convictions against Andra.
    I think you are a cool person,your
    brother maybe a fool.Should I blame
    you because your brother is a fool.

  3. Perry Steele you never cease to amaze me. Don't try to speak up for Harold Ford Jr., he was going to lose anyway. The educated voters of Tenneessee weren't going to support him just because he was Black. That worked in the 9th district butn not the entire state. He tried to play both sides of the fence and it didn't work. Most people didn't even know who Jake was anyway, like you they supported Steve Cohen. I wish you liberals would make up your mind. Was it the commercial or his family that caused him to lose? Willie Herenton has not faced the same charges as Josephus Eggeltian except by a couple of disgruntled voters like yourself and some predjudice Whites. I could accuse you of being caucasian, we know that isn't right. I don't agree with Andre because he is a liar just like his brother Josephus. He is just another problem profiteer. Taking advantage of poor, disenfranchised, uninformed Blacks. I made up my mind about Andre before I knew anything about his brother. If you don't believe he's the mayor just ask Andre himself and take it up with the Gazette.

    If I know about you, I have some idea of where you came from. I'm not basing my opinion of Andre on his brothers actions, it just shows it runs in the family. I've heard his comments on the radio more than enough. Now he hate the Hispanics because they don't buy into the madness. They've developed their own agenda minus the help of the Blacks. They will never outnumber Whites, but they already have surpassed Blacks. They aren't wasting time talking about George Bush. Ask him what he thinks of Larry's and Chuck's ideas. I guarantee he won't disagree. I use his older brother as a measuring stick until he shows me something different. Up until this point he hasn't. I am proud of my brothers and sisters. They're not perfect but they're good people. Just like the egg doesn't roll far from the nest. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

    Barry is correct about the callers. California and New York are the biggest markets ln the U.S.A. and most of his calls come from Memphis. The people from Memphis call his show, because no one here wants to hear that crap. Since you're already tuned in to IRN, test your theories with the Bates.
