IT’S NOT ABOUT RACE.
As one of our readers proclaimed in an email.
“Take 35 minutes your time, better yet create 35 minutes of spare time to view this speech. To me it is one of the most profound moments within my lifetime. It almost looks like a movie scene to see a Black man before a presidential backdrop, who is proud to claim his race, pronouce the reality of America’s transgressions and struggle…in a sincere and uncompromising way. All the things we feel and say, all the pains we suffer and fight through, not as a race, not as Black or White, but as a people, as human beings striving to attain our individual slice of American pie. This speech has really integrated humanism and realism back into this years election. Most importantly it has really touched my heart and moved me.”

I know you’ve heard the 30-45 second snippets of Barack’s March 18th speech on your local news, but this is the complete 37 minute speech. It was simply amazing and should be heard in its entirely by every single black, white & brown person in America. If you’re not fully supporting Obama in 2008, what’s wrong with you?

I’m with you. I actually got a hold of a transcript and read it while I was at work. I couldn’t tell if I was getting misty, or if my eyes were tired…Yeah

Barack is a socialist joke that will set us (black folk) back 40 years! He would be a disaster for this country!!!
