  KEEP IT REAL FAMILY, YOU SAY YOUR UNSURE ABOUT VOTING FOR OBAMA??????
  

  I am practically seething with all of the black people, especially so called
  "intelligent" , "educated",  black people giving a million tired excuses of
  why they won't vote for Barack Obama and will vote for a Hillary Clinton:
  
  1. He's not ready/He's not experienced.
  Man please. You have the top 3 Democratic candidates with 1 Senate term
  under their belt. Hillary as the First Lady as experienced? Not one
  executive decision is made being as the first lady. That's like Stedman
  recommending a book, endorsing a candidate, or having his own show...SO
  WHAT.
  
  2. White America is not ready for a Black president.
  Whaaa? Was White America ready for slavery to end? Giving us the right to
  vote? Desegregation of our society? When did black people ever let white
  people dictate when and where we were getting our just due, our break? We've
  always stepped up and demanded what we wanted, or we were either hitting the
  streets and tearin' up some stuff, escapin', marching, or picketing. White
  America is ready for a Black President because Barack Obama is the right man
  for President, PERIOD. Besides, that never stopped anyone from voting for Jesse Jackson, a man with NO political experience AT ALL from almost snatching the Democratic nomination in 1984, and coming darn close again in 1988 20 YEARS AGO.
  
  3. Barak is half black and half white, so he's not really black anyway.
  I should backsmack anyone who has ever thought that. Ever heard of the one
  drop rule? It has not only been a social standard for WHO is black, but it
  also upheld the constitution in keeping us from suing a white person over
  personal property. No black person ever refers to another black person as
  "biracial". You black. You might have another heritage in your lineage, but
  this country as well as any other sees you as black, PERIOD. Lame excuse
  people.
  
  4. I don't know what issues Barack stands for.
  When the heck has that ever prevented black folk from voting for a black
  candidate, really? I guess now, but the main people saying that couldn't
  tell you anything about Hillary's or John Edwards platform either. Please
  stop fronting.
  
  5. All he did was give that one speech.
  How many great people have defined their lives, the scope of human history,
  and changed the world in a speech? Moses, Jesus, Paul, Martin Luther,
  Frederick Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston
  Churchill, Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Ronald
  Reagan, Nelson Mandela, Jesse Jackson, and Jim Valvano all have changed the
  course of history of the world and the hearts of billions of men and women
  in societies since the beginning of time with a speech. That is the purpose of a rally. A person speaks, and it prepares all to act in relation to the spirit of what is spoken. That is why we go to church, not to just hear our pastor blather, but to refresh God in our hearts and spurn us to take up God's will in our lives. So save all that ying yang about that speech.
  
  6. If all of those white people are supporting him, he must be in their back
  pocket.  Save the conspiracy theory home skillet. He's liked because he comes at a
  time where a person that looks exactly like them lied to their face (two in
  a row, if you include Bill Clinton with Monica and of course Bush with
  Iraq), and flat out said what no politician would admit: We have two
  Americas, blue and red, black and white. It was not publicly said, and on
  top of that proposed that we ACTUALLY DO something about it, not find more
  ways to be divided and not come together despite our differences. Noble
  concept, and one to be championed. That's JFK, FDR, and Abe Lincoln
  material. So they were feeling it, just like I was and you should too. His
  legislative work has been indicative of this as well, including his Fuel
  Standard work with President Bush. Check the resume, it shines.
  
  7.  THE REAL REASON BLACK PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO VOTE FOR OBAMA IS THAT THEY ARE AFRAID THAT HE'LL WIN, AND:
  WE'LL HAVE NO MORE EXCUSES LEFT.   RIGHT JENN OF THE JUNGLE????
  We won't be able to say, "America is racist", "I cannot get a break because
  I'm black", and all other random excuses many blacks make for not achieving
  anything in their lives.
  
  8.  IF SOCIETY IS LEFT UNCHANGED AFTER HIS PRESIDENCY WE'LL LOSE HOPE.
  If a black man becomes President, I honestly believe many black people feel
  that all of the world's problems should come to an end. No more crack
  selling, no more black on black crime, no more baby mama drama and dead beat
  daddies, no more people on welfare and on the chow line, no more wineoes, no
  more police brutality, no more DWB, no more predatory loans, no more
  ghettos, no more racism period, no more Middle East unrest, just everybody
  singing cumbaya. To some degree, I think alot of white people, especially
  liberal, feel that way too, that's why they are all up on him like that.
  THAT'S RIDICULOUS. If it happened, he'd be one of the greatest people that
  ever lived, but that's way too much pressure to put on one man. DANG! I feel
  that people are really not ready for the world to get better anyway. It's
  like that father you never knew but won't make a relationship with because
  you don't want to be let down. It's unfair and let that go. Barak will make
  a great President, but he won't solve all of the world's problems, nor can
  he solve all of black peoples' problems either.
  
  
  9.  SO CALLED "EDUCATED" BLACK PEOPLE WON'T BE SO SPECIAL ANYMORE BECAUSE THE PLAYING FIELD WILL BE LEVELED.
  Absolutely hate more than anything else. The above 2 reasons were largely a
  poor disadvantaged black person's inner fear about Barack. Many of number 2
  and all of this one is specifically tailored to you bourgeois folks that
  actually like being the only black person (or one of a very few) in your
  medical school, your law school, your master's program, your Ph.D. program,
  your high fallutin' Fortune 500 Company, your faculty at your prestigious
  institution.  You feel deep inside being a talented 10th will become a talented
  population. As much as you detest and look down at your disadvantaged
  brothers and sisters, and claim they need to "get a job", "get an
  education", "pull themselves up from their own bootstraps", and "stop being
  so ignorant", you like them where they are. You are the one that has that
  shady feeling in your belly when a new black person is hired because you
  don't want them to screw it up for you. Yeah you...I'm talkin' about you.
  You know who you are. You think deep inside,  Keishas, Darnells, Shequans
  are going to get theirs now that Barak is in office, and you won't be so
  special anymore.  See you like racism. You probably are like Clarence Thomas, the man that benefitted from Affirmative Action but now you got yours, nobody else can
  get in too, so you vote against Affirmative Action. Yeah, claim you got your
  opportunity on merit. No, you got it on the backs of our ancestors that had
  to fight for you to get that job. Now you don't want a world where everyone
  has an equal opportunity. Well actually neither do poor blacks either, see
  1.
  10.  IF HE MESSES IT UP, WE'RE ALL SCREWED.
  Back in the day blacks with degrees could do nothing but shine shoes outside
  the company. Now we're in them, making decisions, even CEOs like my man
  Stanley O'Neal, the first black American to take the helm of a major Wall
  Street firm. That brother completely mismanaged the company, like many
  others who mismanaged banks and cause losing equity because of security back
  subprime loans. Now, those that are in the know are afraid that a black man
  cannot ever get that opportunity to be THE MAN at a major institution again.
  Not only that, if Barack messes it up, there will be a backlash on all of
  black America. "You guys had your chance to run the free world, and you blew
  it".   Sorry AFRONERD AND CHARLIE, Barak is one man. You can't use the logic for yourself as far as getting ahead, but lose it for this man. George Bush completely botched America's standing in the world, but I don't see anyone afraid to elect
  another white man. So come off of it.
  
  11. BLACK WOMEN FEEL SORRY FOR HILLARY BEING CHEATED ON BY THE REAL FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT.
  This is so dumb, I cannot address with words, but it's the truth for alot of
  black people, who felt Bill was the first Black President, and sistas
  especially would feel like they were vindicating a woman that was done wrong
  by anotha brotha.
  
  12. BLACKS LIKE TO BE DIFFERENT FROM WHITES AND BARAK WILL BREAK DOWN BARRIERS WE LIKE HAVING UP.
  Keep it real people. You hate it when anything we do gets imitated. It is
  instantly uncool. Most blacks love that we have our own thing, our own
  culture. Having Barack win means for a lot of people America will have more
  of a shared consciousness. We'll actually have to come together and squash
  some beef to make this country cooperative. I don't completely believe this
  concept, but I'm down for it. Once again, Black people really do like
  racism.  For all of you doubters out there this is what you really need to ask
  yourselves:  Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we
  are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
  gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born
  to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own
  light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same .
  That's all the brotha is trying to do. So vote for him, drop the excuses,
  and support the first viable Black Candidate. Our ancestors demand that we
  do so.
  
  
  What other people think of you is none of your business AND FURTHER MORE THIS IS MINE'S.  SO FAMILY DON'T FAKE THE FUNK AND KEEP IT REAL.
