Dear Civil Rights Leaders

I still continue to hear this constant drone about how African Americans cant get anywhere, do anything or be anyone. As of today, 2/6/2008 Barack Obama, even after Super Tuesday is still a serious contender for President of the United States. He didn't win a state like Connecticut or especially Iowa because of just black people. He won because of his message.

Now, I am a Republican and therefore disagree with the pacifism and populist mumbo-jumbo he delivers on a consistent basis. I do however, have respect for someone for whom just like Bill Clinton, the messiah of the Black People came from nothing to become an admired leader by just about everyone whether they agree with him or not.

Its time to stop telling black people how pitiful and pathetic they are. Stop trying to discredit him because he and Bill Cosby do not agree with alot your thinking. Stop acting like an ignorant black man or black woman and give people like Barack Obama and Condoleezza Rice the respect they deserve.
I want to thank all of you, Jesse Jackson's, and others of your ilk for the contributions and sacrifices you made 50 years ago that helped make this possible. With that said I ask that you realize that you and your message is out of date. The socialism you helped bring that helped the worthy back then, has destroyed just about everyone else's life today. New Orleans, its crime, drug abuse, poverty and hopelessness is an example laid bare for all to see after the floods. You cant blame Republicans, Democrats, you and your kind have New Orleans and Atlanta, into the ground, for years.

Now, I intend to vote Republican. However, I believe that the Democrats deserve better than Hillary Clinton and subsequently you (Civil Rights Leaders) to carry the message and represent the people you claim to represent. You want change? Well, if you are as important as you say you are it really starts with you now doesn't it?
