But my issue is with Meeks, politically. He is in bed with the Cubans, he would not back the representive of the Dem party..he nor Wasserman.

So, politics is why I would reluctantly endorse his candidacy…not how he projects being the person he is while happening to be black.

It is the case that the “locals” and those of you who have “followed” the candidates, certainly more closely than I, have valuable information.
That's what I need to know as I continue to “learn.” Again, “thank you.”

Soooo, I'll continue to WATCH him in order to see how he supports Mr. President-Elect – NOW. :>)

My dad played golf. About 50-75 other Blacks in our mid sized midwestern city played golf. I was a smart kid and an only child. My peers accused me of thinking and acting white. We were all struggling. My parents struggled for fair employment just like theirs. I ate beans and neckbones just like they did.

late in life a friend of mine and I coined a phrase for this attitude, “Charging admission to be Black” If your Black experience is different from mine, then you are not Black enough. We saw this in “Barack was raised by a white family and his father is African. He has no slave heritage. He is not Black enough” Now there are people judging Brother Meek as lacking because he backed Hillary Clinton not Obama early on. Some how that says something negative about his support for the Black community.

There is no charge to be Black. All of respond to this sick racism in our individual ways. Each response is real. Some responses are more ethical, uplifting, positive and couragous than others, but they all are a Black response to racism.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt I could say he is just responding to his political times.

But, as a member of the CBC he voted to endorse HILL not O….the logic I always find overwhelming about the vote is that the CBC basically failed to endorse their very own member. Somethng about that is so foul…it just makes it unforgettable.
