When you want to do something in life, you can't just hope that things will get better. You have to make sure that they will be better by doing the necessary things to make that idea a reality. The same principle goes with politics.
If we want to see real progress in the Black community amongst the average person then we are going to have to BUY our politicians. Now I know this sounds so immoral and indecent, but this is the way politics is run in America. You have to pay to play.
If you want to ensure that a politician works in the benefit of the people of that district then you have to pay them substantial amounts of money to see that they do just that. And then you get the people out to vote for him.
Let me explain something. Politics is all about money, period. When you elect a person to represent you, that person has access to millions if not billions of dollars that they give away to their constituency in the form of grants, guaranteed loans, contracts etc.
And this is why we vote people into office. Not so we can get our nuts off by telling the world that we have a Black this and a Black that. Not so we can get somebody cute into office, but because that person is going to bring us back the money that we need to do what we have to do to make our communities better.
This is the one and only reason you elect people to represent you because when the time comes to decide who gets what you want your honcho to be in their telling the others "see me over."
Now is Obama going to do this.
Is he going to designate a significant amount of resources to enhancing the lives of Blacks in America. Who knows. What I do know is that we can't just assume that he will. We have to pay him off, put an agenda in front of his face and say "this is what you need to do for us."
Black people are supposedly only 12 to 15% of the population of this nation (all nationalities (Caribbean, African and others)). So if you give us a small portion of the contracts, subsidies and other benefits we'll be OK.
A few billion invested in the lives of Blacks can dramatically improve our condition in this nation. But we have to pay him off in order to have a chance of getting what we want.
