Absolutely! What better reason to vote for someone. Maybe we'll put equity back in the hands of the people that feed this economy. Working class Americans.
Hail to the labor unions, the chief isn't doin so well. Without unions there'd be no middleclass. No payed vacation time. No weekend. No payed medical benefits. No forty hour work week........,.
You know based upon the elitism and destruction caused by the current crowd of "money-firsters", Obama may seem like a breath of fresh air.
He may also do something that Rev. Martin Luther King tried to do and was likely assassinated for. Unite whites and blacks against the oppressors of both races.
Dell it's actually empowering to ignore someones skin color and see them as human beings. Many times just doing that gives a person the ability to hear and understand things that he or she previously didn't. How racism is created for example.
I wonder how much different our perception of black Americans would be, if there'd never been a welfare system set up, and black people were actually and effectively melded into our communities and encouraged to adopt a similar value system.
Welfare effectively took away incentive and drive,both effective character builders, from a segment of black America large enough to make a difference, and set their community on a destructive course. The oppressive oligarchy that control the U.S. knew the outcome before hand too.
Racism works both ways. So when a Bill Cosby makes factual statements, out of genuine caring for his race, then a margin of the black community that like you, blinded by racism don't think, then he has the door slammed on him. They can't see that it's their hatred that is blinding them to the truth.
I say let's give Obama a chance. Four years. At this point, after eight years of dumb-b-ya, what's to loose?
In other words, lets approach the idea, and or presidency, of Barack Obama as president of the United States in a mature thoughtful manner and see where it takes him and us.
