I was in Denver and attended the acceptance speech. To my disappointment, Obama, indirectly addresed African-Americans. He never mentioned Dr. Kings' name eventhough he quoted him. He spoke to gays, pro-lifers, and white America directly. Four or Five white Americans were invited to give live testimonies about their woes. I know Obama must tread lightly on not being a black president, but he could have given a black person an opportunity to tell his or story. Was it a calculated risk because I am still going to vote for him.

LOL of course you will vote for Obama...and he knows that so why should he bother worrying about upsetting any of the black constituency? He threw Wright, and his congregation of the past 20 years under the bus and there were no negative consequences whatsoever to his negro support. You people have no where else to go and he knows it. If he gets elected, this will become the norm. He is in the big leagues now, he will continue to suck up to Whites and please them at your expense because once again, you people have nowhere to go. In the big picture Whites matter more than blacks, get used to it.

I never thought I would come remotely close to agreeing with any thing you write. I am depressed and disappointed. Because of you people, we only have the USA. Your European ties are still intact. Hopefully, Obama will prove both of us wrong. I blame your kind.
