The trouble with this article is that most blacks, sadly, are blind to facing the reality that it states.
One of my best friends is a black conservative, and because of his stands and statements exposing Obama (he is very articulate & well-educated, from the Bronx), he has had many of his fellow black friends and family totally reject and diss him. He is bold in his declaration of truth, using his facebook page to tell all how it really is - and many have un-friended him there. He is truly being persecuted by “his own”.
That is very said what happened to your friend
My best girlfriend is a black professional woman. She was deeply worried about Obama before he was elected, and she held her nose and voted for McCain, trying as we all did to tell herself McCain wouldn’t be as awful as we all knew he would be. She says that some of the older black clients smelled a rat right away, since they’ve known charlatans before.
After the election she initially kept her mouth shut among black friends, relatives, and clients during the initial Obama hysteria, knowing that she’d get shouted down by their ardor for Obama; she contented herself by gently planting seeds of doubt.
Now she says that many black people in this very liberal area are saying “What the hell?” and expressing the most serious chagrin. I’m not saying they wouldn’t vote for him against Sarah, but they’re seriously unhappy and getting more unhappy with each passing day. Some are really outraged about him. Some of them could be turned. Star and my girlfriend are not the only ones by a long shot.
