More Blacks Could be Headed to U.S. Senate

December 3rd, 2008

Jesse Jackson Jr.

 

More Blacks could be headed to U.S. Senate. African Americans could take over the seats in the U.S. Senate once occupied by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. In Illinois, it’s looking like Obama’s old spot in the upper chamber of Congress could be filled by one of many promising Black wannabes, including Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Rep. Danny Davis, Illinois State Senate President Emil Jones and former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris. The decision rests with Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, a Democrat. In New York, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown could be a shoe-in, especially considering that the decision rests in the hands of the state’s first Black governor, David Paterson.

If it were not for ‘WHITE PRIVILEGE” the element of race in politics would not be an issue. The playing field has been unblanced for a long, long time. President elect Obama is just trying to even the playing field so that EVERYONE has the same opportunities for the FIRST TIME EVER. I’m not naive enough to believe that a black president means racism is over…but I’m hopeful that we can at least start to think about race differently at least. We got to change our negative thinking before we can change our negative behaviour.

That will be great and I hope that thing will get better because the more black politicians then the less people think that rights are not Equal.
