State of the Black Union
Peace yall,
O.K. so Hillary showed up. And man was that painful...she was up there doing that canned prepared speech and the folks were not responding. And everytime the cameras showed the audience you can see that the Hip Hop Generation was not feeling her at all. Sure she got a few claps, I'm sure that the bulk of the audience had some basic Black Home Training. I kind of felt bad for her up there all white and all alone in a room full of Black Folks that I know would have been bouncing off the walls had Barak showed up. Good for him he didn't as I felt it was a political mistake for Hillary to go when no one else would. Tavis and his request had it's own political reasoning (who would have tuned in otherwise?).
Mrs. Clinton needs some young Hip Hop based folks in her cam-pain as advisors. And for all that hype talk and bullshit about her husband being the "First black President" her political team doesn't give me that impression. You can blow your horn or get your horn blown...it still don't make you BLACK.
Hip Hop Community we have some hard choices to make this election. Mr. Obama has my nod so far if for no other reason because he had the balls to say that he listens to Jay-Z, Common, Nas and others in his IPod. Keep it reall homie, keep it real.

Can you smell desparation? That's the new fragrance that Mrs. Clinton is wearing. It's interesting because this particular scent causes one to resort to all sorts of tactics unbecoming a true political activist.
If I were her, I'd have been handing out some advisor "pink slips". Whose idea was it to attend this function, WHEN NO ONE ELSE CONCERNED ABOUT WINNING WAS THERE?
Hmmm. Reminds me of the commercial with the slogan..."wanna get away?"
Hopefully she understands that "Black is NOT what black does" Many can blow a horn, and (as our illustrious Administrator put it) get the horn blown! Doesn't change who you really are!
I give much more respect to the person who is true to him or herself, and shows interest in the views and issues concern those whose votes they want to get. AND if that interest can foster some solutions that are true and feasible. Oh well, perhaps I'm asking too much from the status quo...
