I said nothing about blacks being at fault for anything. That's such a stretch. They'd have to have some kind of real power in this country to have screwed it up. And so far they've not managed to acquire that power, I think that's my point. Quietly and dutifully settling has not been all that successful for blacks as a whole. So why promote the concept? Seems instead we should be touting ideals and actions of those like MLK, Jr., Rosa Parks, and those that stood up and refused to accept the status quo, Dem or Repub, rather than touting the representation of their acceptance of the status quo.

I understand that this idea upsets your dedication to Obama, but yours is well known to be in the very realm of which I speak, so I don't think you'll understand this concept at all. Or if you do, you'll deny it.

Good luck, I guess you must be one of the luckier few blacks who have managed to squeeze some power out of the system that is stacked against your race. Good for you, but rue be me to forget those that are still being corralled in abject poverty and despair.
