With a few months remaining until the November General Elections, is the race just black and white or is there some gray area?

I am hopeful of a new day in this country. However, it is unfortunate the heavy weight of the black communities history present and future is on Obama’s shoulders with this election.

I feel that there is a lot of grey area. Nothing is black and white this race has proven that.

The November elections are the most important in my lifetime. There will always be gray areas, but clearly the main issue is competent leadership otherwise defined as change. Young people in this country do not want to inherit what we are leaving them and have mobilized to lead this effort. Obama represents about as much change as we could imagine.

A screaming voice from the mid 90’s once said, Could we just get along? Do we really hear the message or the messenger? The way one campaigns speaks volume about the candidate. As for the voters, we know the true. Let’s vote the right person for the right job for the right time. Is it time for change? What is change? If we do the same thing over and over again, the results will be the same. Lastly, take God inside the voting booth. He is the true source any way.

This presidential race is a multitude of complex variables and circumstances which starts out black and white during the campaigning, then turns gray when you have 2 fractions potentially working against each other…the Voters vs.the Electorial Colleagues. The race to the white house is more complex that just going behind a curtain and making a citizens choice. It’s Black and White to you and me from our perspective, you vote the majority wins. To the contrary, we tend to forget unlike any other electorial contest that there are the delegates during the primary and the electorial colleagues in the general that can flip the script and the outcome as we saw in 2000. So clearly the gray area in the race for the Presidency is always lurking and can send the losing side scratch their heads. Then there is the rest of the colors that infiltrates after the election that is represented by internal decision, alliances, selected external powers and all the other tails that wag the dog, but that is a another topic of discussion. My thoughts about Obama’s Change strategy will being where he will sit as President…that’s where change is needed to knock out many of the rainbow of colors and darked some of the gray that exist.

I think that this presidential race is a little bit of all three.
It’s unfortunate that Barack Obama’s race has been made such an issue during the primaries and now the upcoming general election. Especially in this day and time in 2008. It just goes to show you that African Americans continue to still have to work harder and harder to prove that race SHOULD NOT be a pivotal part in who we are; what we can do and what we are capable of accomplishing. However, the unfortunate reality is that race does play a huge part in this race. Black and White. America needs to get ready for the change that is about to come.
