My statements are less about complaining than they are about recognizing the fact that none of the corporate-funded candidates have any measurable allegiance to black america, even the one whom we'd assume would.

For what it's worth, I'm not an advocate of working within 'the system' in hopes that it can be corrected. I may be reading some posts incorrectly, but it seems that some of us believe that continued participation in a flawed electoral system can yield real and tangible benefits to those other than its architects. While that approach is not without merit, my opinion is that it's just not realistic.
