Obama's apparent lack of desire to create targeted policies for African Americans is driven by the fact that we "gave it up" without critically analyzing or challenging his commitment to our issues. No other candidate could have gotten away with this. Our commitment to political style over substance is similar to materialistic distractions toward "blinging, balling, flossing and shining" which lead many of us into bankruptcy. I say this as a supporter of Obama, but also as a man who'd like to see him do more. That's what is in a recent article in the http://www.thegrio.com/2009/06/obama-failing-to-address-the-root-of-african-american-unemployment.php Let's talk about why black folks refuse to discuss Barack Obama honestly, and hold him accountable for his lack of action. Tonight on African American Political Pundit's Slugfest... "If you can handle the truth."
