[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This mirrors a national trend.  The black community has moved a fair bit in the last year.

This is leadership.  Obama is leading, and now other black public figures are commenting, like Colin Powell.  It is having its effect.[/quote]

Is Obama the leader of all Americans or just the Black ones.  You are a frigging idiot or bigot. As if we, Black people, need to be led and spoon fed. Who's your leader?[/quote]

OMG he is the leader of both.  He's our President, and he's the first Black President.  If you want to pretend that it has no significance, fine.  If you want to pretend that people are not motivated and persuaded by leaders, be my guest, but it's ridiculous.  Whether it is business, politics, the arts, or religion, leaders shape opinion.  So fine, the Pope is just another voice in a fancy hat, Dr. King was just a random guy in a march, the minister in the pulpit is just there to kick off the hymns, and dammit I feel that the term "Founding Fathers" is condescending because I don't need a parent to take care of me.[/quote]
