| Black people simply voting for the Black candidate is NOT a victory |
 |
And I say this as a Black female.
Engaging in blind loyalty and simply voting for the Black candidate is NOT a victory.
The Obama camp made this a campaign about race, with Michelle Obama's "Black America will wake up and get it" and Barack Obama's "There's no doubt if we consolidate the Black vote, there would be a pround shift..."
I frankly am disappointed in my community...especially the ones who just eviscerated and slammed Tavis Smiley a few weeks ago, when he suggested that after falling in love with Obama, we need to hold him accountable. And Tavis took a lot of heat for suggesting we need to remember to hold Obama accountable.

| 1. so... you know nothing about this process. |

It's all about delegates at this point - victories are not anywhere near as meaningful (Although on the republican side they seem to be more so.)
A delegate is a delegate is a delegate. Get the most and THAT is a victory.
