The flip side is any objective overview of that earlier generation of black elected officials, i. e., who served their voters well, back during the Reconstruction era,
easily reveals (even after slavery) some of our own were just as capable of helping to run things as the whites would have us to believe all of their elected officials are nowadays...
Yes...
Let us crow a little bit about one of our own making it that far...
But...
Let us also strive to judge one and all on the basis of their merits...
That may well usher in true equality (and during our lifetimes)...
FYI...

First of all, I don't consider Uncle Toms one of "Our Own". But you are certainly welcome to do that, it's your choice. I do agree that we should evaluate people based on their merits, but you seem to be contradicting this point.
But since you claim that Obama is one of our own, you need to look at his policy, his platform. Forget about his lack of experience and acheivement for the moment. Obama has an agenda, that if he's successful, will do more harm to blacks than you can possibly imaging. From Open Borders, to quasi-medical care, to pro-Iraq war support, etc.....
Let's look at the issues and strive to be intellectually honest. King and others died so we could use our minds freely, not be collective uncle toms in mindset.
Good points nonetheless.
