There is a price to pay for setting aside that anger, that side of us which still feels scars of slavery. Forever, you're held to that outrageous standard, and should one of your own flash that old angst, the vultures began to circle.
One - Definition #4. of the same or having a single kind, nature, or condition: We belong to one team; We are of one resolve.
Of - Definition #8. (used to indicate inclusion in a number, class, or whole): one of us.
Your - Definition #3.(used informally to indicate all members of a group, occupation, etc., or things of a particular type): Take your factory worker, for instance. Your power brakes don't need that much servicing.
Own - Definition #1.of, pertaining to, or belonging to oneself or itself (usually used after a possessive to emphasize the idea of ownership, interest, or relation conveyed by the possessive): He spent only his own money.
In every sense of the words chosen, we are tied together in ways that cannot be unbound by politics. If we each do that which we can do (and abide by the loving rules of this forum - don't second-guess Black folk), we would see the sheer impossibility of two fully grown self-identified Black men falling out of a two decade relationship over SURFACE characterizations of White Supremacy. I would no more fall out of love and friendly feeling with an associate over this than I would take my own life. After all, one could not be a close associate for 2 decades without having covered this ground with me on many, many occasions. Entering the house of the master on unprecedented terms is not to be easy - and if the greatest cost is the superficial, public and quasi-acrimonious dismissal of an eternal friend (your spirit's have already tied the knot), this (the quest for POTUS) could be easier than I'd ever imagined.
Has it not been written that salvation is of the Jews? Were not the American Jews the authors of the Black political script of denunciation? The path to 1600 Pennsylvania may run right through the living room of none other than Abraham Foxman. Can the choir get an "Amen"!?!?!

Black people cannot be bribed this time. Today Limbaugh mocked blacks and told the superdelegates to choose Hillary because blacks won't leave the plantation. I hope he is wrong, because when November rolls around, we're gonna hear bout McCain voting against MLK's birthday, the Supreme Court, Katrina, and health care, the war (with Hillary authorized). But all of these efforts to demonize the Republicans in order to curry favor with blacks for votes must me fiercely resisted. That means standing on principle, and voting against Ms. Clinton AS A BLOCK. It means everyone telling their mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, husbands, wives, dogs, cats, fish, etc. This is WAR. The mantra for every black person in this country HAS to be anyone but Clinton.
Are you serious? Would you consider voting Clinton? If blacks vote Clinton this time, it sends a profound message that you can do anything to blacks and they'll still take it. It's become a matter of self respect at this point, I'm sorry. Taking emotion completely out of this. Am I wrong?
I would NOT consider voting for McCain. Clinton is merely evil, merely a liar. He's dangerous, all she is and more (they even share ideas) and he represents a party of liars, thieves and racists and sell-outs.
You want to support Hillary, I'll listen and let you have your say. You want to support McCain, I'll attack you and undermine your every point.
Hillary can be stopped now, during the primaries. And if she get the nomination I will vote for someone other than either.
One Of Your Own

Anyone but McCain and
Anyone but McCain and Clinton.
In that order.
