Ready or not black folks, Obama is going without you.
With the recent wins in Iowa for Sen. Obama, some people are taking a second look at the brother, but many blacks are still skeptical. I think we are waiting for a sign. How about the first black presidential candidate to win the Iowa Caucus? I know this sound simplistic, but the point I am trying to make is that we still are not engaging in the process as we should. We are sitting back waiting for him to show us something. Pull a rabbit out of hat or something. He is progressive and moving. The train has left the station. Many of us are standing at station with our tickets in our hand trying to decide if we are going to ride or not, knowing that we have to go somewhere. The children of Israel walked to the promise land only because there was no mass transit. What is our excuse? There are plenty of seats, and yes, you will have to sit next to someone who may not like you, but they didn't like Rosa either, and she still got on the bus. LFG
