Agreed.
If Blacks wanna be seen as equal, they havta play by the same rules.
No white guy, who attended a church where the pastor went on for years
about the exploitation of his people by another race, say Jews, would
get anywhere in the political process.
So- Obama, all those years, certainly wasnt planning a political career
outside the Black community. But now, if he wants to bring this nation
together, then he needs to find an integrated congregation. He hasta
walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Like a white guy would need to on
this issue.
Of the three remaining presidential candidates, I dunno which, if any,
would be up to the challenges. Obama seems to be a quick study, but even
if he figures out what needs to be done, the presidency is not tyranny.
If Hillary can figure it out, she's more likely to be able to build the
coalition needed. If.
I would prefer to see someone with the stature of Colin Powel give it a
go, and form a new political party free from the obsolete coalitions
both major parties still have.
