Just read this on another site:

SOME African-Americans yearn for BLACK office-holders who will "represent."

BLACK national security advisor

BLACK secretary of state

BLACK Supreme Court justice

BLACK senators

BLACK mayors

BLACK president

Negro office-holders who represent their OFFICE instead of Negroes are labelled by "real BLACKs" as house-Negro, sell-out, Uncle Tom, blah-blah. There have been a few BLACK office-holders who "represented:"

Former US senator from Michigan - Carol Moseley-Braun - who obtained the office by the graces of NON-Negro votes, but went to Washington, D.C. to "represent." She was quickly thrown out of office like a bum.

Many BLACK mayors try to "represent." In return, NON-Negroes leave their cities and leave Negroes to wallow in their squalor.

"Real BLACKs" are looking for Obama to "represent" by opining on every race issue - Katrina, Jena and incarceration rates, but not the disproportionate Negro penchant for crime. These "real BLACKS" forget Negroes are less than 13% of the US population, so pushing for BLACK office-holders who will "represent" results in only one outcome - NOT getting the office in question OR being thrown out like a bum.

Obama is popular in spite of his BLACKness. He is running for US president, not NAACP president. "Real BLACKS" better get real and stop wasting our time with their BLACKness.
