Colorless Politics

With Barack Obama winning the

the Presidency of the United

States...America has begun a

new era...

Colorless Politics. The reason

you saw Jesse Jackson crying

at Obama's acceptance speech

is because he realized his

days of blaming "Whitey" for

everything are over...

Barack Obama ran a campaign that,

other than the Rev. Wright

issue, was run on issues...

Even as we deal with the economic

depression, color has never come

to the forefront from Obama...

The winning of a “Colorless Presidency” is shining a light on other politicians who have run

without color being an issue...

DeVul Patrick...Governor of,

MA...

Harold Ford...ex-congressman from

TN...a mover and shaker in

the Democratic party...

Adrien Fenty...Mayor of

Washington D.C.,

Corey Booker...Mayor of

 Newark, New Jersey...and

Keith Ellison...

Representative, MN.

The thing that all these men

have in common is that they've

embraced America and have worked

within the system...

They've made the system work

for them...

But, alot of this was made possible

by Black Leaders from the past

the list is long from WEB Dubois,

Booker T. Washington, Malcolm X,

Martin Luther King , Thurgood

Marshall and the list goes on...

The new generation of "Colorless

Black Leaders" are aware they're

Black but, with the election of

Barack Obama a light was shined on

on the new era of American politics…

and it's a welcomed era...
