  On Barack Obama
  

  On Barack Obama,

   

  I must first admit that I do not vote.  So whether Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton wins will not be in any way balanced out by my vote.

   

  Yet, being a very spiritual person, I must say that I find myself between a rock and a hard place as I consider these two FIRSTS. 

   

  I do not wish the rotting condition of this country to be granted to my brother, Barack Obama, even though he wishes to take the reins of it.  I believe the condition of America which is imploding due to greed, hypocrisy, and arrogance has its greatest roots in 'white racism'.  As a result, I find myself unaffected as to whether Hillary Clinton is given the reins.

   

  I realize Barack Obama represents hope to many young black youth.  I know blacks have longed to be accepted by white America.  But I am a black person who no longer desires white america's acceptance though I know the earth is mine therefore I do not tolerate whites telling me to leave America either. 

   

  I think the relationships between blacks and whites in America has been like a bad marriage and according to the 2008 Kerner Commission Report we are a SEPARATE America.  I accept this analysis and think that since we have been unable to get this bad marriage on track -- Blacks, as the battered wife, should focus on SELF HEALING and let the rest fall in place.

   

  I do not wish this Big American Mess on Barack Obama.  I love him and his family too much for that.  But I know that we come to this planet for a purpose and his purpose might be to force America to face herself and finally heal.  I can only pray for him and his family.  That's my comment.
