Virtually every constituency in the Democratic party has been the recipient of targeted legislation and policy except us black folk. But to give them credit they not only voted, they organized and demanded something in return for that vote. But when men like Dr. West and Mr. Smiley attempt to organize and demand something in return for our vote they get told to sit down and shut up, President Obama has to be President of all America. Imagine if gay, hispanic, labor, and other key Democratic constituency groups were told the same thing.
