Marty over at MartyBLOGs has written a passionate post about Why Is the Black Establishment Afraid to Grasp History? It talks about Barack Obama and how he’s not getting the support of the black leadership. If you’ve listened to my podacast, you’ll know I try not to vote on the basis of color because not all black people have my interests at heart. I figured from the beginning that something like this would happen and even said he should wait until the next election. But since he’s in, he’s got my vote. He hasn’t had enought time in politics to become an official politician like Hillary, so I’m hoping that will help him in his decision making.

No matter what happens, history will be made and this country will be different because of it. After reading the post I’d like to know how you feel. Are the black leaders overlooking the few chances to get an African-American in office? We’ve been fighting for representation for a while. Is this our time or will Hillary best represent the issues in the black community? Check out my comments on Marty’s blog.
