“I am not one to say that voting isn’t important, but something has GOT to give. At what point do we grow beyond the argument which simply says that the Democrats are not as bad the Republicans? If we choose to support Barack Obama or any politician for that matter, is there a point where we can actually give justification for that support? When should the politician show up with clear evidence that he has specifically worked to address needs that directly impact our community? Perhaps that day will come soon.” (Dr. Boyce: Why the Obama Administration Suddenly Notices Black People)
I couldn’t agree with Boyce any more on this comment. But what he apparently does not remember is that 2 years ago Black folks (and him) — despite questioning was he “Black enough” had no problems with AND DEFENDED Obama “community organizer” experience. In other words, for most Black voters “community organizer” was the “clear evidence”.
In the meantime, radio talk show host Michael Baisden has been blowing up Facebook with his scare tactics as he warns listeners that this country is about to be taken over by racists.

“One of the problems that black people have is that we’ve not grown out of the habit of falling in love with our politicians. The problem with loving a politician unconditionally is that politicians are not wired to love you back.”
What else can I say to that?
