A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics

If You Want People to Vote, DON’T BLOCK THE STREETS!
I went to vote yesterday in Cleveland, and of course, I was super AMPED to finally voice my support for Obama.
What I wasn’t prepared for, however, was the crazy ride down Chester and Euclid after seeing humongous ROAD CLOSED signs blocking both entrances to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.
Imagine this: I’m driving with my two sisters in tow, trying to get at a parking space for the Board Of Elections, and I see two looming signs:
ROAD CLOSED.
Read HERE to see how the streets just ‘happened’ to be closed in this poor, Black, Brown precinct.
I’m not surprised. We heard reports of Obama judges being harrassed. Now, we’ve got the ‘irregularities’ in New Hampshire with the voting machines; the attempt at voter suppression in Nevada; ‘irregularities’ in South Carolina that were caught in time; the massive dumping of Obama ballots in California. So, is anyone really going to tell me that this isn’t possibly more of the same?
