| Black folks have been led, like sheep to the slaughter. For over fifty years, black people have voted in monolitic masses for the democratic party . They are taken for granted in the democratic party. Black people are political orphans. According to the census, Blacks have become the second largest minority in the United States, losing out to the Hispanic population. "Black Leadership" is rudder-less. But still, Blacks have a passionate adversity to any other political party...ostracizing anyone not in the Democractic Party. Clarence Thomas, J.C.Watts, Alan Keys are examples of this. Sure, there has been obvious progress for Blacks over the last fifty years...but much of the Black agenda's cornerstone has gone by the wayside. In the last five years, welfare reform and standardized testing (something Blacks have long been against)is now the law of the land. The end of affirmative action as we knew it is now here. It's time for Blacks to stop being led like lemmings by the Democratic Party and look for a new political "empowerment zone . |
