Not “race-conscious”, just a realist!!!

We live in a country that is full of racists, it's in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink. The Republican Party came to power based on Racism, and will stay in power thanks to Racism.

If it wasn't for Racism, the US would very likely look like Western Europe, but a large proportion of White America would rather eat Sh*t than give a plugged nickel to an African-American.

Ask yourself this question, why is it that while 15% of Americans are of African descent, that over 65% of Americans in prison are of African descent?

Why is it that African-American <a href=” http://www.cbcfinc.org/pdf/sobefs.pdf.“>economic status is substantially worse than that of European Americans?

The truth is, hordes of us Americans have been ready to vote for Colin Powell, for example, for President for the past fifteen years or more.

And hopefully now you realize what a crazy idea that would have been!

It's all up in the air right now. But I do believe that a defeatist attitude and thinking that we can't win so why try is a fast way to fail. I think that as a whole, we are ready for some big changes. How that measures up in the election is anyone's guess. Who knows if they will or won't elect Obama? It's all up in the air right now.

I love the Obama Love, but I have a small question for all of you Obama Supporters:

Since Reconstruction there have only been two African-American Governors (Wilder & Patrick), three African-American Senators ( Brooke, Mosley-Brown & Obama ) and only 35 of 6667 elections in white majority US House districts have provided black winners since l966, and most of those were in unusually liberal districts, what leads you to believe that this country will elect an African-American President?
