The very moment that the shackles were removed from slavery in America they were reattached to the entire society! And the burden of those have cut a deep divide into the legs that are needed to move us forward. I think it's disgrace and saddens me deeply to be in the heated racial divide we are in at this moment in time. I have wasted too much time posting about "this"(I will never again use the ism word)all ready that could have been better served on real issues! Today, right this second, we could step out of those shackles and into a world where it only matters who you are as a person and what contributions you can make to better a world that is tearing its self apart. Crumbling at your very feet and in order to prevent a TOTAL COLLAPSE THAT WILL END ALL OUR DIFFERENCES AND PROBLEMS ALONG WITH LIFE ITSELF we will need everyone's help. Those in the world that hold the key to the locks are a relatively small group. They protect that key, because once the locks are open, they serve no purpose anymore. These self perpetuating, self serving hatemongers are fanning the flames and grinning from ear to ear, While we all dance around the bonfire covered in war paint. Why, do we have BET? Would it be all right to have WET? The million man march would not be perceived as a good thing if it was promoted as a "White" thing. It's NOT ok! I am not going to beat around the bush(I would like to beat Bush!) anymore, nor should anyone else in fear that we might be Perceived as "ist"( another word I will never use). Slavery was an evil act carried out by white men and there is no denying it. Those that refuse to give the people the key are equally as evil! Luis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, Malik Shabaz( head of the Black Panthers)and Jeremiah Wright are those people! They must be stopped! These individuals are preventing progress and they love it! Obama HAS lost the election(A horrible shame) not because he was Black(he won Iowa and it's 97% white vote) Not because he attended a church that has a radical preacher that spews hatred, but because he is afraid of "THOSE" hate mongers! And thinks(wrong) that they are powerful enough to make or brake his run for President. Condi Rice, got where she got without them, Colin Powell got where he got without them, The CEO of one of the largest corporations in America got where he got without them, The two coaches in last years Superbowl got there without them, The commander of one of the recent shuttle missions didn't get their help! AND THEY ALL GOT WHERE THEY ARE INSPITE OF THOSE HATE MONGERS! Time to stop waiting for the key, IF we all pull together and we will snap those shackles off! Those in the "Black community" (that too must end, we must all be a community) that are trying to justify what that hateful, angry no purpose being a "Man of the Cloth" preacher said. They Jesse Jackson, Rev. Cloyd, and many others who say his words were taken "OUT OF CONTEXT"!! Was Imus's one statement taken out of context? That only bits and pieces of his sermons are being shown! Do we really need to hear more? Had that speech been in a "White" church with David Duke(KKK Grand Poo Ba) telling a white congregation everything in reverse, would that be taken "Out of Context"? Enough already!!! Wright is a person of hate and should be shunned by both communities as was Imus if we ever are to become one! And until then I will not post another word about the issue ever again! It's Ok to say that they don't want to hear that ever again, they wont be shunned from any community contrary to what a few might want them to believe!

There comes a time in every President or Presidential candidates life were they stand at a "fork in the road" and must make a decision that will alter not only them but the course of history. They never know when it will come or what vehicle brought them to that very spot in time and history. Barrack Obama has just turned the corner and there before him lies that fork. So much is riding on what path he takes. One path clearly appears much easier, but just out of sight, that road ends. The other is visibly bumpier, marked with potholes and the shoulder is a cliff that drops off into the abyss. But, if it's choosen, that road will eventually level off, the deep potholes will fill, the shoulders once marked as danger, will become lined with great white pillars that rise up and disappears into the sky, the once treacherous path is now an expressway paved in Gold leading to the promise land and the big house on the hill. Which choice will he take? I Have watched him intently since his speech at the Democratic convention, which many believe was his introduction, and done to test both him and the waters. He made an impression and the rest is history leading us to today. His relationship and association with a church, headed by a Radical preacher, he himself has called, "His Spiritual mentor and leader" is now in question. Recently released video of pastor Jeremiah Wright ranting that The Good old US of A should not be blessed but damned! That America should be called KKK of America, That the Jews are ruining the world. That Aids and the horrors of 9/11 are both government plots! That America is run by rich whites(OK so he has a point here) that keep the Black population down. Then to put a nice topper on it, he said, "Lewis Farrakhan should get a noble prize!"and then his church gave L. Farrakhan a life time achievement award. Ok now, Barrack has released a statement, stating that he doesn't agree with all the pastors statements. That many he heard for the first time. He said he has been an active member of this church for 20 yrs yet was unaware of the strong neg views of "his" mentor and spirtual leader? Then made an analogy to an odd uncle that talks too much and your embarrassed by what he says. You don't choose your uncles but you have a choice of church and spiritual leaders. I think maybe-Birds of a Feather? Do the Obama's have a dark secret well hidden just below the surface that has just been illuminated? He was married by this preacher and his two daughters were baptised by him, yet he know nothing of the level of hatred towards Whites, Jews and America! He is down... will he rise up or be counted out. It ALL depends on how he handles this! Ive had many days and hours of thought and listen acutely to that uninvited voice in my head that's always willing to give an opinion. I'm concerned yet anxious to see how he handles what inevitably is the most serious of situations. He is at the "Fork" He alone must now make the choice, his future and the nations future can and will be altered by this choice. Not to mention, The entire Black population and race relations in general. As he himself has quoted MLK, "IT'S THE URGENCY OF NOW!" Go to "A wolf in sheeps clothing.....? I hope not. Its my post in cosmic painter just go to recent posts and click more....You'll see why i was concerned. Update 3/19/2008- Well it's not hard today to keep abreast of developements, every TV, Radio, Newspaper, Blogger in the world is covering and commenting almost continuosly. I guess it is an impotant subject. "GOD" only knows the other issues are not nearly as important. Like enviornmental breakdown of our planet, that threatens the shear exsistence of every Black, White, Yellow, Red, and Black & Blue(x-generation kids tend to bruse alot for some reason) person in the world! I'm sooooooooooooooo sick and tired of this merry-go-round. Can I please get off? PLEASE!

The chief of police in Bagdad, Iraq was arrested,after being caught in bed with 6 prostitutes! He was "escorted" to jail and has since been "stripped" of his position. Prior to his arrest he was very active in going after crime in certian areas, one of which just happend to be the brothels! And this is now solid proof that the surge is working and our Democracy has clearly been "embedded" and "embraced"! I hope he gets a "stiff" penalty and after being "inserted" into prison, I hope he finds it "Hard" doing time! Oh, by the way, his defense.... he was working under the covers....oops, I ment "undercover"..
