Al Gore should endorse Barack Obama

Many white Americans have a problem with the term African American, but I don't see them complaining about China town. Name one Italian or Irish person who isn't proud of their heritage? The issue becomes a problem when the term Afro-American is used. Why are we suppose to ignore our heritage? Act as if we came from nowhere.

Many have a problem with black Americans taking pride in a culture that was bitterly ripped out of our history. Some act as if the white supremacist philosophy that was given to us was God's gift to black people; it wasn't.

Remember, most mothers raise their kids according to the values that were taught to them; the people who taught them their values were loving people, but black Americans were given self-destructive values by people who seen us as no different than their pets... the Willie Lynch type values that were given to us were for their benefit, not ours.

Will you explain to me what is the best way to deprogram the self destructive values, like the large number of black fathers who abandon their kids because they think it is cool the screw every woman they meet, without being perceived as racist? Or do you see the destructive values that were forced upon us by white supremacists to create more baby Africans for them to sell as African values? Please don't act as if black Americans aren't still trying to break the chains in our subconsciouses that came from slavery on into the 1960s.

I believe that no matter what black person ran for president you would come up with a convenient excuse to find a big enough flaw to reject that person. Hillary's plan for Iraq is no different than Barack Obama's.

I also noticed that you shifted from wanting to be safe from terrorist to not wanting to pull out of Iraq so fast. What happened to Osama Been forgotten, & his terrorist network being the biggest threat to our country? You sound as if we (America) has unlimited resources, & you are preparing your kids to fight war after war after war. I am not buying into George Bu$h's & John Mc Cain's Alexander The Great war schemes, you shouldn't either if you value your children. I am sure you value your children, so don't let the Military Industrial Complex have your kids by default.

As a matter of fact, it would be your fault because you brought into the flawed perspectives created by self serving people like Hillary & Mc Cain.

Change is Always Met with Resistance

Of course Obama "never goes into depth about the changes he will make or how." No candidate ever really goes into depth about this stuff, certainly not in a primary. But it is funny how folks only make this charge against the candidate they oppose. Take a look at your own fave, there. No, a real, objective look, please.

HRC (perhaps should be HPC, with the P for Pandering) actually talks with less clarity and reality than Obama on withdrawing from Iraq. But in your mind only "Obama pulls those troops out prematurely." In reality, if you take all candidates at their word, HRC pulls out the troops the fastest, and McCain NEVER pulls them. So how are BOTH of those the "best choices"?

And you think we should have an African American President, just not this one? I don't believe you mean that at all. But I'm curious, what "better more experienced African American choices" do we have out there?
