Democrats Held Hostage: Passerby Blog
Posted 17 weeks 2 days ago byIt has been, now more than ever, that the Democratic Party is been held hostage by the African American block of voters. The current primary election in uncertain terms, has warned that if by some chance Senator Clinton receives the nomination, there will be hell to be paid from the Black electorate. Even Senator Obama has been put on notice that it would be in his best interest to agree with the “powers that be” in the African American community.
When the initial controversy regarding his pastor relationship he was advised at that time that it would not be prudent or politically expedient for him to rebuke his spiritual leader. Hindsight in regular life is 20/20, but in pursuit of the Presidency of the United States, it must be magnified tenfold, regardless of any particular position taken from the unnecessary pressures from without.
Had Obama chose to handle the Wright issue with a decisive and conclusive response, not to appease others, I believe the issue would have receded... Contrary to the recent developments which festered and raise more suspicions as to his motives for the belated address, opening the questions presented with respect to the endurance and continued relationship with a person who harbored such zealous opinions.
In a F.Y.I. commercial spot on the BET network Roland Martin, a frequent guest on CNN and syndicated talk radio host for the black audiences around the nation, pressed his influential opinions as to the consequences should Sen. Obama not receive the Democratic Parties nomination. He was about as blunt to say that it would be a miscarriage of justice, and would be unacceptable to the African communities, as to imply that the Presidency is akin to an overdue IOU.
He is not alone in his instance that this will be done, despite that, choosing the possible next President amounts to more then a token towards to reparations. All the experience, judgment, fortitude, and leadership are the total sum which requires time to attain. Sen. Obama’s (1) year of service as a U.S. Senator, may be the beginning of the making of an Executive Officer but hardly the culmination of one.
For any person who purports to be concerned with the intense and most complicated issues facing the world... and to reduce the importance of that selection of the most qualifing person to a race issue in reverse, needs to do some real consciousness examination.

The race for Race
Submitted on May 4th, 2008 by CNMy lifes experience of being a parent of a Bi-racial 21 year daughter, she is, as Obama, is the delightful result of a black mother & white father, (reverse the parenthood), gives maybe a unique perspective to the matter.
The numbers speak for themself; if Clinton recieved upwards of 80% to 95% of the white vote, Congress would have long been investigating voter manipulation.
It seems that all the blind faith in Obama, was garnered in early contests, prior then his increasing problems; to wit makes one wonder if the revelations of Obama's past, current and future problems; would he be where he is? I suspect not.
This liberal mass media ie; MNSBC, CNN etc... are determined to usher Obama into the Oval Ofice, despite, the still to be known, issues which will lay waste to him against McCain.
I am very well familar with the unspoken language and insinuations, should members of the black community, cross the powers that be... and judge Obama for "the content of his CARACTER, not the color of his skin".

The problem
Submitted on May 1st, 2008 by KansasGirlThe problem with this line of reasoning is that the Black community doesn't vote as one body on anything, including Presidential candidates. It would be a sound argument if they did, but no racial demographic does. Saying that the Black community will always support Obama is just as silly as saying White people will never vote for him (both statements made more ironic since, even if race were the determining factor, he's half of each).
