beau sia said it perfectly. now only if the candidates would listen.

This poem/speech hit the nail on the head. Beau Sia NEVER fails to please me. But he cannot always fight all of the Asian-American people's battles - RISE UP & KEEP THE MOVEMENT GOING!

What does this guy expect the candidates to do? Genuflect? Yet another example of inflated ego in self service mode, if you look closely enough. Rev Wright was more entertaining though.

Rev Wright and what Beau are speaking are two different scenarios not even the same. Beau makes some valid points and what are the candidates expected to do not a damn thing but keep talking about attacking Iran and protecting Israel from anyone who does her harm.

I understand. Honestly, POCs are not expecting a miracle, a simple note of acknowledgement would be nice. Everyone in America contributed to what it is today, and since we live in such a racialized society, it only seems right to realize that not all of the hard-working Americans are white. In racial terms, we came in all colors. In ethnic terms, we come from all continents to make this country what it should be but has rarely shown itself to be. Together, all of us need to change the US.

Beau speaks the truth!

Obama is one of the few candidates who does mention us regularly in his speeches. That is partly what drew me to him in the first place.
