It's really a sight to see just how much jealousy has permeated the ranks of black liberal leadership in this nation. I'm not so sure that o'bama will actually be celebrated by his community, if becoming elected as pres - o - th - divided states.
I don't know if it's "jealousy," but it surely is "political manuvering" and even "backstabing" at times.
Bill Cosby's comments regarding Colin Powell's treatment at times come to mind.
Obama would essentially put all of the civil rights, victim mentality folk out of business, in becoming the president.
It does put a rather large "dent" into a lot of the claims, which are further pushed by the most racist/sexist industry we have, the US media.
It doesn't surprise me one bit where most political loyalties lie in these areas, given the amount of racism and sexism that is still apart of their daily routine.
All while women are taking over most of corporate America and, while still feeling the affects of educational segregation several generations later, the "wealth redistribution" is still improving for African Americans.
It is particularly funny to see some of the African American leadership first enlist the "other minorities" for their cause, then "scorn" them as not being worthy of the same benefits.
Frankly, other than trying to address the denial of education that African Americans suffered (which screws anyone for generations), we're not going to solve anything by arguing as anything other than a pool of Americans with their own, individual creeds and goals.
Ironically enough, Obama (not sure about his wife though) gets this better than any African American leader I've ever seen, and that's one thing he hasn't waivered from.
For that and not just that alone, I like him far more than McCain, who has waffled on far more issues (from defense to the tax cuts, of which he seems to not even been any conservative at all like he claims).
I like to know what I'll get from a candidate, not what they want to say to get elected, and in that regard, Obama has waivered far less than McCain (although Obama's still waivered too much overall).
With the "Republican turned Libertarian" candidate who is a joke in his voting history, I probably won't be voting for President this fall.
If I end up voting for anyone, it will be Obama before anyone else, but at this point, I disagree with just one too many of Obama's ideas.
