Cont. There are no black leaders in the black community since blacks are displaced all over the United States so for one to claim he or she is a leader of black interest for oppurtunity in speaking on FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC, BET and the likes is hypocritical. The only leader of black people in movement was Martin Luther King, Jr. No one will ever amount to his sacrafice of self to push for equality of all people not just blacks for justice.

Cont. Political oppurtunist would read into this issue of black women and how it would impact their children especially because a great number of black women are single mothers. Emotionally, black women felt their son's may see the election of Barack Obama as a milestone to possibly movitating their child in various fields besides the typical sterotype of basketball, football and rap for black young men. Maybe the election of a black face helped in show young people that they can be a success.

Incorrect, black people didn't celebrate the election of Barack Obama but an emotional inhelation transpired. It shouldn't be denied that a black face Michelle Obama being in the White House made a difference for black women in business. Black women can be successful there wasn't a doubt before but Michelle reassured that support of a black man mattered and that success means more than being a mother and wife but career too.

@therebelcause this was the most sincere and dead on comment ive read. Im sick of people so scared that they will listen and believe in anything. Im proud of the fact we celebrated that piece of history, BUT the fact is that we,the people,are continuously ignored by bogus politicians who refuse to acknowledge our interests. They seek whats only good for them. Obama is just a man. Not a savior. Another puppet.

youre proud of him because he's black dude, you could care less about what his policy and beliefs are, and what does America have to thank him for and be proud of? a fricken community organizer? a senator for less then two years who had a voting record more left then john kerry? not proposing or passing one single! piece of legislation? he's a celebrity not a competant ceo of the most powerful nation in the world

Blindness, my people believes in a man because he is black. This whole argument is color. Insanity. Martin said by the content of his charcter. President Obama voted for babies that survive abortions should be set aside to die. Obama said if a girl makes a mistake and becomes pregnant she should not be punished with a baby. Who is President Obama's arguement against?
