Well roomies, we are now witnessing history in the making. We have our first African American Presidential candidate.
I can not wait for the TV ads, I might even reduce myself to watching local TV just for the ads.
They are really going to be good this time around.
I can't explain it, but I feel very humbled at this time. I feel like something good has happened.

Notable in that it is the Democratic Party responsible for such an historic achievement. Meanwhile, the GOP has not 1 current black governor, senator or House member. Does that say something or what?
I gave a list in another thread of the many conservative African Americans in high office. All were firsts. First secretary of state, first female secretary of state, first secretary of education, first supreme court justice, all conservatives and picked by a republican.
You called them all uncle toms and some other horrible word.
So how is it that you would post now a complaint that there are not African American governors or senators? You would just call them horrible names.

As for Obama, he is not even half black, so if your pride is all about him being African American, remember he is half white and his dad was more middle eastern than he was black also. I think he is 1/16th or something like that.
The color of his skin should not matter at all. His content of character is what should matter........and that is Obama's problem
Tokens, I referred to them as toms and tokens. The vast majority of the AA population in this country would agree with me too, particularly in the case of Clarence Thomas.
All that aside, you didn't really address the main point of my post..that of there currently being no (0) black repub governors, senators, or House members. You honestly can't think that's just coincidence?
I just called them incompetent Ok mostly Rice, God I hate her. Powell always tears at me, so good, so bad at times as well though.

Oh, be still my heart.
I was going to start a thread on this later once it became more "official" but either way, I am glad I was able to participate in this event. Now it is on to November. It will be a tough general campaign for sure. But I am confident. He has the cash, he has the ground game, he will have a unified party and he has a RINO Bush 3rd term as an opponent. Should be interesting.
