There is no way, I repeat, NO WAY, Obama is going to fight the global system of white supremacy and replace it with justice. He is too invested in it to do it any real damage. In America, to get elected President, you have to raise multi-mega-millions. That kind of money, and Obama has already collected lots of it, carries with it all sorts of strings. Obama already owes lots and lots of favors to lots and lots of White Folks whose money he took.
Black Folks, most of us, never heard of Obama before he was elected into the Senate. But,we have now had some time to gauge how down he is by his tenure in the Senate.
So, Black Folks, ask yourself a relevant question -- can I think of one thing he has done aimed specifically at improving the lives of Black Folks?

I say give the brother a chance , besides what makes you think a white candidate who already enjoys the fruits of white supremacy will not continue those type of policies..At least Obama will give a black perspective to some of the decisions made in government , like Supreme court appointees etc...Also the one outcome of Obama being elected that we're all ignoring is the impact it will have on the minds of young Black people...It could give them so much motivation that our communities will be better places to live...But without a solid "united" effort to get him elected , Obama won't win ...So let's give him and in some way "us" a chance to really make some positive changes in this country no matter how small those changes may be...And to answer your question...Obabma voted against the war and he's not an uncle tom like , Ken Blackwell , Joseph C. Phillips , Ward Connelly , etc...he does give us some feeling of pride as a blackman and I think he'll be a good president...Give him a chance...
