Finally!!!

"I congratulate Michael Steele on his historic win as the first African-American to chair the Republican National Committee (RNC) and I congratulate the RNC for his selection. I think in a strange way the selection of Michael Steele further clarifies the need for continued civil rights leadership in the 21st century. With an African-American president and now an African American heading the opposition party to that president, we must have strong advocates that will clarify where our interests lie because clearly that cannot be decided by the color of those in power of either party. As we now in my generation have the leaders of both parties African-American, our generation must clarify and pursue our interests to close the race gap in education, the economic crisis, health care and the criminal justice system, which means we may at times find ourselves challenging people who share our color."

All I have to say is duh. Our country can not afford a population that votes on anything but merit. It frustrates me when people make their decisions based on color. People who voted for Obama because he is black are just as much to blame as the racist who would never vote for an African-American. If we our truly going to stay competive as a country the only thing that matters is we vote our conscious. Regardless of race,gender,religion or political party may the best person when.
