I don't know how many times it has to be said to Black folks to
unify and put their money where their mouth is to press our issues for
the change we need. Folks seemed to think President Obama was the
messiah or Black Santa Claus who was going to give them everything they
ever wished for, or at least "hook a brotha up". NO, he's a politician not a magical genie and it doesn't work like that. He was never going to just "hook us up". You
have to force politicians to work for you or they will gladly take your
votes and put others before you that make their voices heard with their
money. If you voted them into office that means you are their employer, so make them work for you or take action instead of just complaining.
The reason others got what they got was because they made him work for
them while we just keep marching, singing, rioting, and doing more of
the same.
