If you vote regularly in presidential elections, beware that the mainstream media is attempting to pit Blacks against Barack Obama by reporting all over and in almost every news media, that not enough Blacks support Obama and that the other (white) candidates may have more support from Black voters.

According to a poll from Blackpeoplespeak.com, 74% of those polled said they would support Obama as opposed to only 11% for Hillary Clinton. But of course the media do not care what “real” Black people think, only those made in their world.

Claiming that Hillary Clinton and John Edwards have closer ties with Black voters, this strategy seeks to persuade Blacks away from Obama and toward traditional voting patterns. If Black voter advocates eyes were open they would see this and encourage Blacks to support the ‘Black’ candidate.

Instead, many so-called Black leaders are wanting Obama to kiss their ass before they endorse him or act as some kind of filter for Black voters. Obviously, those Black leaders are more concerned with politics and their own prestige than the betterment of their own people because whether Obama is Democrat or Republican, Blacks should vote toward themselves whether through a candidate or in an independent party format.

The so-called Back leaders are in a tight situation. One that is a result of how twisted their thinking and leadership skills have become as a result of getting too deep into the one-sided American political game. They cannot see that if they do not support the Black candidate, they are defeating their own purpose to the struggle for Civil Rights.

But because they want all eyes on them and the Black candidate is not a part of the old traditional Civil Rights clique, they will push him aside and push Blacks toward white candidates. This is certainly twisted thinking.

Even more ironic in the thinking of Black leadership, two of the media’s favorite so-called Black leaders are supposed Reverends and these so-called Reverends are for abortion rights, homosexuality, and many other liberal forms of cultural evils that are destroying our children. How can one claim true righteousness yet support immorality, or even the Democratic Party at all?

Again, the Black leadership is so confused as to what they think and believe that they are going to help disillusion Black America to believe that supporting Obama is a mistake because he is not ‘Black enough,” or because “we don’t know enough about him.”

White America thinks they have Blacks where they want them if they can convince enough of them that they should support Hillary or Edwards because everyone else is supporting them. And if they can convince Blacks that their so-called Black leaders are in opposition to Obama, they know that the ones who follow the ignorant Black leaders will shoot themselves in the foot and vote for the white candidates.

To defeat this strategy, Blacks should support either Obama, vote independent, promote their own leader, or do not vote at all. As the race heats up, the media will try as hard as possible to shine the light of goodness on Clinton and Edwards while continuing discord between Obama, Blacks, and the so-called Black leaders.
