And I also think that when you are disenfranchised for so long or not given a chance to participate fully, you are more likely to pull these stunts.

Expect it, until a real sheriff comes to town.

I do expect Barack H. Obama to be on the up and up ALWAYS, or else there is going to be a frying pan meeting a head.

Mainly for entertainment purposes. Really, I laugh at some of the postings there. Even though I am not a conservative nor a Republican, I don't really have major philosophical issues with founder of Booker Rising. I just wish that the things that she post were little more critical in it's analysis. It seems like most her posting are Republican talking points. I like it's Pan-Africanist view of Black politics. The writings of some the more right leaning respondents are something else, to say the least. Personally, I think one of the bloggers got some DEEP DEEP seated issues. (HInt: he post on this blog every now and then.) He reminds of an middle aged air guitarist living in his parent's basement. I read Booker Rising. Mainly for entertainment purposes.
