Obama's speech on the role of race in America was rather bold. His post speech interview on ABC was even more edgy. Personally I was pretty bored with the message of hope. I have felt, for a while now,that the time has come for Obama to discuss his ideas in details. I know very little about Kennedy's campaign, I heard he was a pretty hands on campaigner himself. Obama's speech was the most daring and precise I have heard about issues of black insecurity in America. Skeptics have pointed out that the speech only came after his campaign was at a jam about the race issue. I feel that his decision to make the speech, even against his strategists counsel is a risk that no other candidate will be willing to take. Notwithstanding the fact that the possible collateral damage on Obama is significantly higher than any other candidate. I see a candidate that was genuine and upfront. I wish more politicians will take a cue and stop dancing to the tunes of pollsters. I hope we can get back to the economy now. how will Obama make going to work in the morning worth looking forward to, once again. ** sent from mobile**
Kicking back this weekend, and leafing through a mini-pile of magazine in bed, so I picked up (a magazine that cover financial advisors). This week's feature was . My curiosity kicked in and I mentally placed a bet before opening it up. I put my money on the fact that there were going to be more than a proportionate representation (12%) of black folks on the list. I was wrong, very wrong at that. Not even a single brown face. It is easy to draw all sorts of conclusions and make conjectures, I'd stick to just describing what I observed. It is so cold.
I listened to this blog post on radio, thought I'd share it with you guys. Oh yes blogs have made it into the mainstream big time. The line gets increasingly blurry everyday. It was looking to be a bad week for black men "up top" — brothers ascended to high places.
During the weekend there was (Your Sexuality) tour, emceed by gospel singer Donnie McClurkin, who says God delivered him from homosexuality (John, I really do not see whats shameful about this though, but hey! -Omodudu's addition). Time Warner had to deny rumors that CEO Dick Parsons might be on his way out. And now , or the golden parachute, at Merrill Lynch...."I thought you said strong black men don't cry." To which I reply: "A really strong black man always cries when he's talking about how much he loves his family." ...There are, of course, millions of Donald Drivers out there. They quietly go about their business of being strong black men. It's unfortunate the media tends to focus on black men when they're acting like, or actually being, thugs. Or only after a Jena Six-type miscarriage of justice.
