Embarrassment is not a strong enough word to describe the sentiments many Blacks should feel during any election year. Dishonor mingled with shame may be a better description of the Blacks who see through the pretension of political duplicity when the Democrats seek to solidify their Black, dependency base. Using methods of fear and lies, the Democrats always seem to persuade Blacks that the Democratic Party is on their side.

When will we wake the hell up and see this crap for what it really is? Instead of Black voters actually using their God-given minds to decipher the obvious tactics used by Democratic politicians to win their vote, Black voters simply fall in step with the same ole' same ole' sorry Democratic agenda.

What is more sad is that Black leaders recruit rappers and Black actors and actresses to appeal to the young Black potential voter, an obvious marketing tactic used to manipulate the start-struck minds of zombie Blacks who allow their minds to be controlled by the media. Supposedly, rappers are hard-core brothers and sisters living real on the bling, bling, but in retrospect, they are no more smarter than a campaign sign on the front lawn simply because they are being exploited just like they exploit one another.

Can we not see that regardless of who the President turns out to be, the Black agenda will always come second to last on the American social and political issues list-to-do. Can we not see that Blacks are used only as a weight to tip the scales toward one politician (Democrat) just so the other (Republican) will not be elected?

What issues have actually been addressed to a complete solution since Blacks have been voting Democrat? We still see racial profiling. We are still discriminated against in the housing market; we are still by-passed during job promotions, screened from the best higher learning institutions, segregated into urban holding cells, targets of the justice system and number one victims of the American poverty cycle.

We are doing better than 40 years ago yes, but how much longer will it take and by what means will we get to where we naturally should be? Just because some Blacks - and let it be said very few - have made it into the mainstream media and are portrayed as a part of the American dream, there are a hundred more Blacks to that one Black who continue to live below the average income level and poverty line.

Many Blacks still have not the real opportunity to attend whatever college they want, not even whatever elementary school they want. Many Blacks still struggle from paycheck to paycheck, live in underdeveloped urban communities, and make less than a white person doing the same job. How have Democrats changed either of these?

Black church leaders who claim the wisdom of God certainly show ignorance in this area and should be ashamed if not feel convicted for their participation in political matters of the world. Inviting or accepting an invitation from political leaders to speak to the congregation is a marketing swindle that should never take place in God's house, but in the political arena. In the Black church's attempt to go into the world and save people from the world, they have gotten caught up in the world. This is NOT God.

Black people have fallen hook, line and sinker as prostitutes of the Democratic Party. What is more disgusting is that politicians do not even have to actually do anything for them or fulfill the promises afterward, but all they have to do is show concern and make an appearance at Black functions, which plays on the Black leader and voters need for attention from white America.

Once the infamous politician is seen in the neighborhood church or at the Black organization's conference, they have shook a few hands and cracked a few jokes, these Black prostitutes have not only opened their legs from the east to the west, but did not even collect the money owed them. And once again, the Pimp walks away smiling that white smile and from then on turns to slap his bitch whenever he wants.

WE NEED OUR OWN PARTY!!!
