CTJ:
What should begin our day(s) is use placing within a historical context the ups and downs of our peoples past (and present) strives towards equalit and freedom--as in with all of the other ethnic/racial groups--in this nation...
By way of an obvious historical footnote:
Some of our forebears went from being enslaved human beings to elected officials during the era of Reconstruction...
Blance K. Bruce was actually one of the first colored elected officials who was a U. S. Senator...
Instead most (if any) of today's folk only associate the likes of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. and Ed Brooke with exibiting the same sort of ability or ambition...
No disrespect to either brother:
But, oh really, folks?
Ditto now Barack Obama has become our great black hope...
Instead--at best--only at the city and county level--have our folk been able to exibit any clout--via more recent eras...
So my and the and more to the point:
Vote for who?
And to accomplish what??
The flip side:
Let us belabor to consider our and our peoples true equality:
By all means necessary...
Let's don't limit ourselves to one option...
FYI...
And another one from a friend or the family...
Later...
