And isn't it equally sad that prominent blacks stand by quietly while Colon Powell and Condi are called house slaves by their own?
In light of the DemocRATS failure to place any blacks in positions of power these "prominent blacks", by not objecting, and continuing to support the Dems, have become the modern day house slaves.
Good point. It seems that so often when blacks aspire to leadership roles in the DEM party, they get the message, "sit in the back of the bus". And amazingly, they comply with little more than whimpers.
Members of the black caucus have such radical leftist views, having them as front people for the party would be problematic--akin to a GOP promotion of someone like David Duke. A seemingly more moderate person like Ford could be attractive, but I think the DEM power structure is afraid of him. He doesn't seem to be a kool-ade drinker like Ron Brown, for example.
