I honestly believe all the presidential candidates with the exception of Dennis Kucinich are too entrenched with the political status quo of this country. I have little to no faith in the electoral process. I would vote for Obama simply because he's a Black man running for the highest office in the land. But do I believe Obama would fulfill some sort of meaningful change in regard to the most pertinent issues effecting this country and particularly African Americans? No. Obama is still a trained politician who must walk a fine line between
real domestic change or the end of his political career.
My presidential candidates aren't running for office - which in a sense is a good thing. I would not want to see them get dragged through the mud by white people and the defilement that operates in DC. Local, grassroots advocacy often works best. And these two below have a stellar track record of social advocacy.
