I would love to see an African President of the U.S., but it is apparent that no candidate, of African descent or otherwise, will do anything for our people. This statement was resoundingly made when not a single Democratic candidate showed up for the Presidential Debates held by Tavis Smiley, Tom Joyner, and so forth, who organize the State of the Black Union every year in February. People then make excuses for Obama saying he didn't want to risk losing his "broader audience" in speaking specifically on African issues. However, if he can't do it now then he certainly cannot do it once in office.
Our people are simply out of touch with reality when it comes to politics or any tool (human or structural) in a system of White Supremacy. All tools will serve the interests of the system. Within the system all we can do is try to maximize our opportunity, which I only see happening with the policies of Ron Paul and not so much with Barack Obama. Therefore, let's not get caught up in nonsense as if a person with "color" in the White House actually changes anything. As Dr. Carter G. Woodson stated, even if we become successful at imitating Euros, the world will still wonder what the African is good for.
